Supreme Court, Kavanaugh info. The point is the independence of Kavanaugh's judicial thinking and decisions.

Posted in a discussion just now by Jan Van Eck, who also personally knew George W. Bush for decades, back from their Yale days.

While I debate with Jan frequently, and we tend to disagree on certain issues (for example, I support Trump, Jan generally doesn't) he is not a liar.

Brett Kavanaugh is another fraternity bro of mine from the old DKE House at Yale. Those guys are nobody's stooges; neither am I.

A recent case just debated before the USS Court bears this out. The case is Obudskey v McCarthy and Holthus LLP, Docket # 17-1307, in which Dennis Obudskey sued the lawyers representing Wells Fargo Bank for his legal fees in defeating them. A fairly decent recitation of the case can be found here:

For those of you who like digging into the raw material, here is the actual 81-page transcript of the Oral Argument before the Court:

Note that Justices Kavanaugh and Roberts, both appointed in the hope that they would be "right-wingers," were "skeptical" of the arguments for the lawyers for Wells Fargo Bank, and ripped up that legal team. While there is no Decision, it becomes obvious that these Judges are nobody's patsy. And personally, I rather doubt they have a high opinion of The Donald. 

I have not yet studied that 81-page transcript, which will make for tedious reading, but for those of you who are retired and have lots of extra time, hey, that's your next novel sitting there! Enjoy.
