I am fairly neutral about the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.🙄 While I kind of liked Neil Gorsuch, as a hunter and outdoorsman, I can’t really say that about Kavanaugh, who strikes me as little more then just another conservative vote on the court. 🏛Kavanaugh is just another prep-school, bratty suburbanite who has never left the land of marble countertops and brass door handles, not somebody of real intellect or a passion for seeking justice — one who got away with raping girls when he was young based on his economic privilege.🤑

But I do think he will be good for protecting the second amendment and our rights to own guns, hunt and fish, 🔫 and limiting the size and scope of the federal government in many parts of our lives. We could finally see some more progress on second amendment — which would be wonderful news for many Americans. I am more skeptical on his views on limiting police powers, and protecting the first amendment and the rights of those accused of wrong doing by the government. I also wonder what his small government beliefs will be on efforts to control pollution by large corporate polluters? Or healthcare, labor and social justice?

Ultimately, I have very little say on who is on the US Supreme Court. 👪 It’s not my appointment to make. I voted for Jill Stein for President in 2016, but evidently she didn’t win and elections have consequences or so I’m told. For the most part the decisions on the Supreme Court won’t impact my ordinary life, but it’s still a fascinating debate worthwhile to watch.🗞
