So it's very important to have someone strong on it and we know will deliver.
Ok I edited in all I wanted to say
It sent to early first time
Anyways, here's some rulings Kavanaugh had on immigration
Ok
So was my 1 2 3 ordering correct?
on the issue of immigration, yeah
Ok
Overall?
Probably that as well because it's really the main priority
Ok
Kavanaugh denied illegal aliens from being able to vote in union elections (2007)

That's good
But that's 11 years ago
Kavanaugh opposed the grant of immigrant visas at expense of American workers (2014)
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/49B2B863D721339885257D78004DF1D6/$file/13-5301-1518126.pdf
That's more recent
And also good
Kavanaugh has recognized the government’s interest in “supporting American farmers and ranchers against their foreign competitors.” (2014)
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/A064A3175BC6DEEE85257D24004FA93B/$file/13-5281-1504951.pdf
So, yeah, on this issue, he's shown a consistent, solid, hardline stance.
Yeah
Guns for example? Since that's more of my area
alright, let me see if he has done a ruling on that issue
Ok
"In my judgment, both D.C.’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller" (2010)
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/DECA496973477C748525791F004D84F9/%24file/10-7036-1333156.pdf#page=47
So he's good on gun control.
Good
Thanks!
FLanon, you make a compelling case.
Who do you guys think it’s going to be?
Is anyone watching Watters World ?
The two areas of scrutiny where Kavanaugh is concerned is Obamacare, where he ruled that the individual mandate was in fact a tax and constitutional, and abortion, where while he did rule in one case that an immigrant minor did not have the right to have a subsidized abortion, he was criticized for not doing it on the grounds of abortion not being a right whatsoever.
>ruled that the individual mandate is a tax
When?
Seven-Sky v. Holder
2011
Ah.
"The Affordable Care Act is unusually significant federal legislation that will affect all Americans. One provision of the Act requires most Americans to maintain health insurance or else pay a tax penalty when they file their annual tax returns. That provision — commonly referred to as the individual mandate — is codified in the Tax Code and takes effect in 2014. The tax penalty for those without health insurance is capped at the average price of a health insurance plan. The tax penalty is the only sanction for failing to have health insurance. And the IRS — and only the IRS — may assess, collect, and enforce the tax penalty."
That's probably the biggest drawback where Kavanaugh's concerned, I think that his position on the immigrant abortion case was satisfactory enough in my opinion.
And as for abortion, I don't think he's wrong to rule on a basis that doesn't repeal _Roe_, given his role.
When you work as a judge, your job isn't to overturn the Supreme Court. It's to interpret its opinions.
