There is a very interesting article on Fox News website about Justice Kavanaugh’s first few months on the court,by Shannon Bream and Bill Mears. Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

I really enjoyed that article JALLEN. A glimpse into the daily life of a Justice. Serious about crackers | |||

Definitely worth reading. The human aspect of being a justice isn't made public often and this piece does a credible job of that. I'm glad he's fitting in nicely and that Kagan is making him feel at home.

Most of us know so little of the inner working of the Supreme Court. Thanks for shedding some light into this fascinating aspect of the judicial system. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

JALLEN thanks for posting this. ____ I'm filled with gratitude for the blessings I've received. | |||

Yeah, yeah, yeah - we'll see how much the four on the left gripe about the quality of the dining room chocolate chip cookies.  | |||

Kagan to Kavanaugh: "So who are you voting for this election?" If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion. | |||

| You're going to feel a little pressure... |
Now, I want Kavanaugh to post the chocolate chip cookies recipe  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Just a bump. I believe this was Jim's final post here. | |||

I read this article when J.Allen posted it and never commented here. But did send a text with my thoughts on Kav to a gal who has been 'interviewing' me as a prospective BF. She has not spoken to me since.  Remarkable, the way j.allen handled everything. Reading his posts, I thought he was looking at 6-8 months. | |||
