Commentary

Commentary from the American Thinker about SCOTUS nom Brett Kavanaugh and the 2nd Amendment.  Read the whole thing, as they say.

I'm still not too excited about a Kennedy replacement.  It's not a trade up.  A GOP nominated right leaning justice is replace by same.  Not as great a difference than if Kavanaugh replaced Justice Breyer, say.

Still he seems good, and more principled that who he is replacing, ostensibly.  And he is probably a vote for cert and more reliable than Kennedy on 2A issues.  So, a plus, but not "6th Contextualist Justice on the bend for decades because Breyer took a powder."  And I pray that Kavanaugh isn't another Souter.

I didn't say we aren't gaining something.  But there are possible bigger future gains on the court.  

If the left is this up in arms now, imagine if it IS Breyer inside of a year....  Of course Thomas and Alito and the rest have to live many years more.
