Earlier this year, he dissented from a decision upholding the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created during the Obama administration to enforce regulations against banks, lenders and other business groups. He called independent agencies such as the CFPB "a headless fourth branch of the U.S. government."
A Yale Law School professor who backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 is defending President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, calling the nomination Trump’s “finest hour, his classiest move.”
Akhil Reed Amar wrote in The New York Times op-ed, titled “A Liberal’s Case for Brett Kavanaugh,” that “it is hard to name anyone with judicial credentials as strong as those of Judge Kavanaugh.”
And, importantly ...
Quote:
Amor, who said he had taught the nominee at Yale Law School, also praised Kavanaugh for “admirably confessing that some of the views he held 20 years ago as a young lawyer — including his crabbed understandings of the presidency when he was working for the Whitewater independent counsel, Kenneth Starr — were erroneous."
Lol! If he’s not so bad then why are Chuck Schumer, eosi, the Dems, and their partners in Hollywood and the media ramping up the attacks on him and planning to block him?
Just FYI, what conservatives are generally looking for is not a "conservative" judge, it is a judge who interprets the law as written and as originally intended, and who protects and defends The Constitution of the United States as the preeminent law of the land.
So, leftists want a justice who leans left, while rightists want a justice who does not lean at all.
Libs need to save their outrage for when Ginsberg gets replaced with another Scalia or Thomas. Then they'll have something to really cry about. It could happen next week or not for years, but if Trump or Pence is President, it's going to happen.
It's sad that Trump gets credit from his supporters, thinking he chose Kavanaugh to further the conservative agenda. Trump picked Kavanaugh for Trump, period. That piece Kavanaugh wrote back in 2009 about the President being untouchable by the justice system is why Trump picked him.
Kavanaugh wrote that POTUS should have “absolute discretion†to determine whether and when to appoint or fire a special counsel.
And that a president should not be criminally indicted, no matter what evidence of wrongdoing is uncovered."
The way Kavanaugh sees it, not only should Trump be granted the power as POTUS to fire a Special Counsel (like Robert Mueller) himself, but Trump, the sitting president, cannot be criminally indicted, "no matter what evidence of wrongdoing is uncovered."
I don't get how there can be branded "conservative" or "liberal" judges, which there are. Some do lean this way or that, but I guess I'm naive. Aren't judges supposed to interpret the law based on non biased decision making--nothing to do w/ their own politics or religion or own social issue preference? Supreme Court--if it leans either way-- what real justice is there for anyone?
The ones on Trump's list were all deemed conservatives. If it had been a Democratic President, list of all more liberal ones.
