This has been brought up a number of times on threads about Roe's demise, but I'm interested in hearing what the community as a whole thinks. I think the theory makes a lot of sense. The dude is no Clarence Thomas. Ever since he took office he's been Roberts' partner in crime in cucking out to the left. Those 2 are responsible for all the 5-4 decisions in favor of the left like upholding the clotshot mandate for healthcare workers. If you had asked me to predict how Dobbs would have turned out prior to the leak I would have predicted Roe would be upheld with Kavanaugh, Roberts, and possibly Barrett joining the commie caucus to defend it, with a slim possibility of Gorsuch going full retard like he did in Bostock. Thomas and Alito were the only 100% guaranteed votes for killing Roe.
Since protecting the Constitution against leftist abuses clearly isn't a priority of Kavanaugh's, revenge for the Democrats' antics at his confirmation seems to be the most likely motivation. The reason he waited for an abortion case is obvious. The only sacrament that the Church of Woke considers holier than aborting babies is child molestation. Since the activist SCOTUS of the '60s and '70s didn't go as far as inventing Constitutional protections for pedophiles, he had to settle for going after their precious abortion privileges. It's funny because as much as the left screamed about what a danger Kavanaugh was to thots who make bad choices, it's likely that the left's dirty tricks made Kavanaugh overturning Roe a self fulling prophesy. Kavanaugh's record doesn't support the proposition that he would have killed Roe regardless. If they hadn't been total pieces of shit Kavanaugh might have saved Roe. They made this bed and it's going to be fun watching them get fucked in it. No abortion afterwards either.
He appears to have been doing everything in his power to appease his accusers, and women in general. He hired an all-female staff and he's been much more left-wing in his SCOTUS voting than his circuit record would indicate, almost as if he was trying to win points with them.
I'd say his vote to overturn Roe appears to be one of genuine principle. It doesn't even necessarily reflect on his or any other judge's view on abortion. Even crazed leftists jurists like Ginsberg regarded that case as bad law.
I hope every nook and corner of his premises have cameras installed.
That is the pattern of behavior almost every federal judge has followed especially the ones in DC. Their rulings follow a strict window of acceptable thought for current_year that will keep them on good terms with the elite class, and they overcompensate for any perceived biases. These people are weak normies and positive or negative attention greatly influences them.
It is why some people argue we should start putting partisan politicians in as judges, like Ted Cruz. Politicians have already lived in DC and played the game. They know how influence is peddled, who their friends and enemies are, and won't be dazzled by new media praise or scorn. They had a constituency and specific ideological voting record so you can guess where they will lean. Obvious downside is you're guaranteed they are biased in certain ways.
This looks like illegal discrimination. What if he hired an all-male staff, or, better, all white males? But I suppose any attempt to challenge him would ultimately end at the Supreme Court.
I don't think he has the balls. This is Thomas and Alito.
This is more words than Kavanaugh warrants. He's a cipher and a narrow reed. Don't spend time worrying what he's all about. Whenever you read about a ruling and it's 5-4, or 6-3, or even miraculously 7-2 or 8-1, rest assured, he is one of those numbers.
Now that they can kill children post-birth with the vaccine, there’s no need to keep up the charade of Planned Parenthood.
This one right here. Population goals back on track.
When the 20 states filed suit over the 2020 election and the SC refused to hear the case, Thomas was the sole dissent.
I see this reversal mostly as a symbolic victory in that it's an idol revered by my enemies that is now destroyed. It is Moses destroying the golden calf.
Hearing that 2020 election case and finding in favor of the plaintiffs would have been what Moses and the Levites did after destroying the golden calf. They needed to do both, because otherwise there'd just be another golden calf.
I don't think even Thomas would sign his name to that second step, but Kavanaugh didn't even sign his name to the possibility of the second step occurring.
If Kavanaugh truly wanted revenge against his enemies, dissenting with Thomas would have been the way to actually get it.
