Brett Kavanaugh

A Moment of Honesty From Chuck Schumer The Wall Street Journal, August 7, 2018, Opinion by Senator Chuck Grassley

by

On July 10, the morning after President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he’d oppose the nomination “with everything I’ve got.” If the weeks since are any indicator, we should believe him.

Presumably, Mr. Schumer announced that he would oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination before he read the judge’s 307 written opinions and the many other opinions he joined.

It stands to reason that Senator Schumer wasn’t too concerned about Judge Kavanaugh’s record before he announced his opposition. Why is it so important to Senator Schumer now?

Brett Kavanaugh has all the right qualifications for Supreme Court The Hill, August 6, 2018 Opinion

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified individuals ever to be nominated to the Supreme Court. He has demonstrated integrity, influence, and experience in his twelve years as a judge on the second most powerful court in the land. On top of this, he authored over 300 opinions while on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Kavanaugh is a graduate of the prestigious Yale Law School, served as an associate counsel to the White House, and as a law clerk to Justice Anthony Kennedy.

His experience and qualifications are very evident. Unfortunately, the Democrats in the Senate are more focused on delay than on consideration of Judge Kavanaugh’s considerable merits.

Now that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has met privately with almost every Republican senator, it’s becoming increasingly clear President Donald Trump’s pick for the bench is running into little GOP resistance to confirmation this fall.

Ask the GOP senators what they’re learning in their private chats and they’ll tell you the following: Kavanaugh loves his family. Lives for the law. And, like the president he once worked for, George W. Bush, he’s open and chatty, the kind of guy you’d like to have a beer with.

Kavanaugh the good umpire the Supreme Court needs The Hill, August 5, 2018, Opinion

When President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, he fulfilled— for the second time — his campaign promise to nominate judges to the high court who will interpret the Constitution according to its original meaning.

In his 12 years on a federal court of appeals, Judge Kavanaugh developed a clear, consistent record of textualism and originalism. This means that he can be relied upon to protect religious liberty and ensure that administrative agencies stay within their legal authority.

I clerked for Judge Brett Kavanaugh almost a decade ago. A reflection on my experiences before and after my clerkship makes me confident that this country would be fortunate to have him on the Supreme Court.

Judge Kavanaugh does not allow policy, politics, or his personal views to infect the enterprise of judging — something that cannot be taken for granted in today’s judiciary.

Judge Kavanaugh is not merely a fair and independent jurist, but a generous mentor and devoted friend, father, and husband. America would be lucky to have him on the Supreme Court.

As a former clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and a native-born Kentuckian, I believe Brett Kavanaugh will be an excellent Supreme Court justice who is right for America and right for Kentucky.  He has been a leading voice for individual liberty and presidential accountability, and his qualifications and character are unsurpassed.

Of course, a mainstream, evenhanded, and independent-minded legal philosophy is not enough. Qualifications matter too, as does character.And on both counts, Kavanaugh is outstanding.

How Judge Kavanaugh’s Clear And Disciplined Writing Will Affect The Supreme Court Forbes, July 31, 2018

by

If Kavanaugh joins the Court, his opinions will undoubtedly be clearer and intellectually consistent. Long-term, this is no small achievement. When the Court considers overturning its own precedent, the most pressing questions are whether or not the precedent is poorly reasoned and proves unworkable.

Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Influence Real Clear Politics, July 31, 2018

by

For 12 years, Judge Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, often considered the “second-highest court in the land” because of its heavy portion of constitutional and regulatory cases. On those issues, Kavanaugh has become the intellectual leader of his generation of judges on the lower courts. And the best evidence of this are those cases in which Judge Kavanaugh’s analysis was adopted by the Supreme Court even after Kavanaugh’s colleagues on the D.C. Circuit rejected it.
