Does this mean that the Catholic Pope residing in the Vatican will have heavy influence on US Supreme Court Justice decisions?
Well, I certainly hope so!
So now we've got Chief Justice Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Gorsuch (who was a Catholic, but now attends an Episcopal church) and, soon, Kavanaugh. Plus Sotomayor. That's 5 1/2 Catholics. Kagan, Breyer and Ginsburg are Jews.
It would be best if Sotomayor would listen more to the Pope.
You obviously monitor the individual members of the USSC. Where is there any serious and formative [discussion] of religious belief systems that the USSC has?
Kavanaugh, who has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit since 2006, dissented from a 2011 decision in which a three-judge panel upheld the District of Columbia's ban on so-called assault weapons and its requirement that all guns be registered. Kavanaugh disagreed with the majority's use of "intermediate scrutiny," saying an analysis "based on text, history, and tradition" is more consistent with the Supreme Court's Second Amendment precedents.
The D.C. "assault weapon" ban covers a list of specific models as well as guns that meet certain criteria. A semi-automatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine is illegal, for instance, if it has any of six prohibited features, including an adjustable stock, a pistol grip, or a flash suppressor. "The list appears to be haphazard," Kavanaugh noted. "It bans certain semi-automatic rifles but not others with no particular explanation or rationale for why some made the list and some did not." In any case, he concluded, the law is inconsistent with the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller.
If he ruthlessly defends the 2nd amendment, for 25 more years, Ill be pleased
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
He's saving Amy to replace the bridge troll next year. Leftists are going to explode once they realize he'll have all the picks on his short list on the Court by 2024.
SCOTUS is the only reason Trump got my vote, but I'm thoroughly impressed with other aspects of his administration so far. He's got my vote in 2020.
Being associated with the Bush Crime Family was bad enough,but THAT,if true,should be the kiss of death for the SC.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
You say that just like it's something anyone sane would be proud to shout.

That doesn't "Read" like a 2nd Amendment defense to me. To ME,it reads like a bitch they didn't dot their "i's" and cross their "t's".
He was NOT complaining about their desire to limit American Constitutional Freedoms,he was bitching because it was a poorly-done job.

Kavanaugh DISSENT at 2-3, Heller II, 670 F.3d 1244 (DC Cir 10-7036, 2011)
In my judgment, both D.C.s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller.
In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses. Moreover, semi-automatic handguns are used in connection with violent crimes far more than semi-automatic rifles are. It follows from Hellers protection of semi-automatic handguns that semi-automatic rifles are also constitutionally protected and that D.C.s ban on them is unconstitutional. (By contrast, fully automatic weapons, also known as machine guns, have traditionally been banned and may continue to be banned after Heller.)
D.C.s registration requirement, which is significantly more stringent than any other federal or state gun law in the United States, is likewise unconstitutional. Heller and later McDonald said that regulations on the sale, possession, or use of guns are permissible if they are within the class of traditional, longstanding gun regulations in the United States. Registration of all lawfully possessed guns as distinct from licensing of gun owners or mandatory record-keeping by gun sellers has not traditionally been required in the United States and even today remains highly unusual. Under Hellers history- and tradition-based test, D.C.s registration requirement is therefore unconstitutional.
They are like PR hacks that warm up the "audiences" for the fundie Catholics that dream of once again ruling the western world and setting fire to anyone that disagrees with them.
Nah. That's not what we Catholics are about.
What we're about is family, babies and social welfare/poverty relief.
We oppose the death penalty because of the corruption and unreliability of the human judicial process.

Kavanaugh has tutored at Washington Jesuit Academy, where he sits on the board of directors, and at J.O. Wilson Elementary School, according to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals website. He went to high school at Georgetown Prep which Justice Neil Gorsuch also attended and is a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School.
Trump chose a judge reared in Washingtons finest Jesuit institutions, including Georgetown Preparatory School. Kavanaugh, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, is active in several Catholic organizations in the area. Trump pointed out that he coaches his daughters Catholic Youth Organization basketball team.

Thank you. That one sentence changes the entire intent of the rest of what he wrote.

Not a fan of Catholicism, I see.
Or Islam,or any other slave cult.

Both of Trump's SCOTUS justices Gorsuch & Kavanaugh, attended the same Jesuit high school. If one SCOTUS Jesuit is good, then two is better right?
It doesn't matter if they are Jesuits,or Thomas Jefferson and George Washington brought back to life,if Trump recommended them,you would hate them and find fault.
You are one of those sad people who just ain't happy unless you are mad.

Yup.
