BREAKING! The Trump-Kennedy-Kavanaugh Secret Deal
“Judge Kavanaugh’s reasoning on religious liberty, Obamacare, and issues
concerning life has proven to be of major concern”
— Tim Wildmon, The Conservative American Family Association
“Throughout his entire career, Kavanaugh has been extremely engaged in
Republican politics but he has never expressed opposition to Roe v. Wade
a single time.”

In a bombshell report from Travis Getty at Raw Story, a source has revealed that retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy made a deal with President Donald Trump to retire only if he agreed to pick his former law clerk and good friend Brett Kavanaugh to succeed him on the highest court in the land.
Donald Trump promised to appoint a conservative nominee to the Supreme Court that would not betray the Republican base the way fake conservative and outgoing Justice Anthony Kennedy has since his appointment to the court by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1987.
If true, that would mean that all of Trump’s bluster about going through the process, conducting interviews, and narrowing the search down to 4 candidates a few days ago was all just a bunch of BS political theater.
*Justice Anthony Kennedy, according to the source, received assurances from Trump that Kavanaugh would be the pick before he would agree to announce his retirement, so the decision was made weeks ago
I would be OK with Trump’s minefield of bullshit if he would have delivered a solid conservative that the base can count on. If this is political “Let’s Make A Deal”, I’m sure Trump’s base would have liked some assurances that Kavanaugh is not another imposter like his close friend and mentor, Kennedy, who routinely backhanded the base with his liberal decisions.
Throughout Kennedy’s time on the bench, he was called the “swing vote,” and regularly, much to the dismay of the Republican base, voted with the liberals on the court.
Some examples:
Gay Rights – Justice Kennedy, according to Business Insider, wrote the majority opinion in the landmark decision in Obergefell vs Hodges which legalized gay marriage in America in 2015.
Abortion – Democrats worried about Roe v. Wade being overturned, can stop the screeching and gnashing of teeth if they are worried about Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh’s mentor and friend Kennedy sided with his liberal pals on the court again in 2016 striking down a Texas law limiting women’s access to abortion.
In 1992, in a case involving Planned Parenthood, Kennedy voted to preserve the right to have an abortion, ruling laws prohibiting abortion are unconstitutional.
Kavanaugh, in an appellate court decision, ruled that a 17-year-old pregnant illegal immigrant who wanted to be released from custody to obtain an abortion had the right to have an abortion. In that opinion, he also added that “all parties to the case recognize Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey as precedents we must follow”.
Affirmative Action– In 2016 Kennedy joined the liberal justices and was the deciding vote to uphold affirmative action in college admissions in a case involving the University of Texas.
In 1999 Kavanaugh wrote an amicus brief on behalf of the Center For Equal Opportunity, a group that opposes race-based affirmative action in college admissions
Obamacare– according to Politico, Kavanaugh wrote a 2011 decision that his critics say, laid the groundwork for Chief Justice John Roberts to later uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
”Under the reasoning that if it’s a mandate for individuals to buy health insurance should be considered a tax”.
So it turns out that Chief Justice Roberts, who stabbed the American people in the back with his Obamacare tax, got the knife from Brett Kavanaugh—the guy that Trump is nominating for the a key Supreme Court selection at a critical time.
Another troubling thing about Kavanaugh is his friendship with George W. Bush. Make no mistake Fox watchers, W is a war criminal. It’s been hysterical watching the dopes on Fox News over the years refusing to condemn the lies that led to the Iraq invasion, making heroes out of criminals like Ollie North, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice.
And the ludicrous explanation for what really happened on 9/11? No bomb Sean’s got some splaining to do. Just go to YouTube and watch my pal Jim Fetzer on Hannity and Colmes debating 9/11 with the dopes.
*Dana Perino’s so cute. Fox should market Dana’s “See No Evil Glasses”, for people like her who don’t see shit and don’t want to see shit. You know… the ideal Fox viewer.
These people can’t admit that our Middle East policy is an utter disaster and has cost taxpayers $6 trillion in the last 16 years because of George Bush “The Dumber”, and which was made even worse by Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
Bush appointed Kavanaugh to the appellate court after serving as W’s White House Counsel and later as his staff secretary. Kavanaugh met his wife at the White House where she worked as W’s personal secretary.
Hmmm… OK, I see… W, Jeff Gannon, Turd Blossom, Brett Kavanaugh…hey WTF, where does she fit in???
Conservatives will appreciate a legal brief he wrote in 1999 in favor of a Texas High School’s policy allowing the use of the public address system for student-led and initiated prayers at football games, a practice that seemed to come under fire all over the country as soon as Barack Obama was elected.
The Fox News crowd seems pleased enough, although I’m not sure why. Liberals should be ecstatic. Kavanaugh is a moderate being dressed up as a conservative on Fox and vilified as the second coming of Antonin Scalia over on CNN and MSNBC, which he’s not.
People are supposed to get more conservative the older they get, right? Not Justice Kennedy, who seemed to get more liberal as he aged. This is why many on the right were shocked every time Kennedy voted with the Liberal judges on so many important issues.
We don’t really know what we will get from Kavanaugh. Much like Trump’s “Dream Team” cabinet that has mostly been a big bust, it may take a lot longer to know if Kavanaugh will be more like Scalia or more like his disappointing mentor and co-conspirator Kennedy.
Sadly, it’s not what these judges know, where they went to school, or what brilliant arguments they made in the lower court. It’s what they have on you. NSA Whistleblower William Binney said years ago they have been wiretapping the entire U.S. Congress, federal judges and Supreme Court justices for years. Let that sink in.
