He's all RW politics, all the time. That's why he has an aide flashing the white power sign behind him, he approves of that message, the constitution shredding lying trojan horse.

Very few paid attention back in 2006 when he was nominated and confirmed to the Circuit Court.

People just don't pay enough attention to the nomination federal judges and makeup of the federal courts and that's a huge mistake.

Has someone sit behind him to flash a racist sign.

Is on record as being overtly racist and willing to apply one set of rules to D prez and another to R.

he is well qualified and Democrats have typically not made big stinks about judges at the Circuit Court level - just a handful of them under W Bush that were really extremely radical RWers. Kavanaugh is more of a stealth radical RWer.

Really mean, they don’t want left leaning activist judges. Right leaning activist judges are just fine. The Federalist Society has been planning for this day for 20 friggin’ years.
