#1 Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., complained that Kavanaugh had dissented from an emergency ruling that ended up rushing a minor migrant girl in the care of the U.S. government off to get an abortion without parental consent. Durbin also complained about Kavanaugh’s interpretation of a complicated Supreme Court case that had deemed illegal immigrant workers unable to vote in workplace unionization elections.

His first name is appropriate.

#2 They DO think that legislating from the bench is what the Supreme Court does. After all, when you can't get things done democratically, you resort to the courts. Judges make political decisions and work backwards to justify them.

Coming to an end, though, and don't expect them to like it one bit.

#3 Yep. Several federal circuits have been filled with non-legislative judges as well. Trump gets two terms and you can expect the most liberal circuits to get flipped as well.

The left knows that it is the Supreme Court where the buck stops and Trump is ending that dream as well. If any libtard judges go down in the next 2 years expect full revolt and violence to keep the seats from being filled with a non-legislative judge.

#4 Yeah. But http://Moveon.org is raising lots of money off Kavanaugh from the idiots who actually believe he can be kept off the SCOTUS.
