Alexander: Thank You Justice Kavanaugh

Allow me to offer, on behalf of our Patriot Post staff and grassroots American Patriots across the nation, our gratitude and thanks to Justice Brett Kavanaugh, his wife Ashley, and their family, who were willing to remain steadfast against the fires of hell in defense of our Constitution and the Supreme Court.

Shortly after a highly contested 50 to 48 vote last Saturday, Kavanaugh was administered his oath by Chief Justice John Roberts, becoming the 114th Supreme Court Justice. After his nomination was delayed, he will be seated on the Court a week into its current term, as Justice Roberts noted, “so that he can begin to participate in the work of the Court immediately.”

Joe Manchin (D-WV) was the sole Democrat voting for Kavanaugh, relieving the need for Steve Daines (R-MT) to return from his daughter’s wedding Saturday to cast his vote in favor of Kavanaugh. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R?-AK) voted “present.”

This latest SCOTUS vote represents the lowest support for any nominee, just behind the 52-48 vote to confirm Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991, and a partisan trend. The 2005 confirmation of George Bush’s nominee John Roberts was 78–22, with half of Democrats voting with Republicans. Bush’s 2006 nominee Samuel Alito was confirmed by a vote of 58-42. Donald Trump’s nominee Neil Gorsuch was confirmed by a vote of 54-45. Adding Judge Kavanaugh to the Court restores it to the balance under Ronald Reagan.

  1. It took a man. One who was mad enough of the scandalous tactics against his nomination to fire up the courage to not stand for it anymore. Thank goodness. I feel many were encouraged by his resistance to the unprincipled techniques of the Socialist Party. Men and women united experienced the urge to stand up and resist the on-sought. Kavanaugh became the leader of portraying the courage to say he is not afraid to lose, but willing to go forward in belief of his values, life, profession, and family. This, is courage. This is what people can follow, as did Lindsay Graham and others. President Trump had the faith to back him throughout the Socialist attacks. This is a real leader. One who does not falter in political battle. We need more men and women like these and others to fend off those who want to destroy America.

  2. That took courage, a polar opposite of what the opposition presented.
