Discussion: Kavanaugh's First Majority Opinion Is A Unanimous Decision

I’m using “Kavanaugh” as verb. If someone gives me too much lip in an argumentative, misogynistic bullshitty way, I say that they are “Kavenaughing” me.

(& @carolson) I assume he and Gorsuch, and probably Alito, will go with the party: all will depend on how big an albatross Trump is for the GOP by the time any cases involving him reach the Court.

He was to start somewhere, and if it’s something he’s going to have a hard time screwing up, all the better.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh has written his first majority opinion for the Supreme Court, a unanimous decision in an arbitration case.

OK, but who wrote the minority opinion?

Doesn’t matter.
Kavanaugh is a sexual predator and completely unsuited to be on the Supreme Court.
He greatly diminishes the Court and really should resign.
He is a disgrace.

I’m willing to forgo the refund.

Dear lord this guy is pathetic

WTF is the Supreme Court settling what amounts to a petty business dispute?

His sanity is hardly the issue. It’s whether he’s a complete waste of space or only a partial waste of space.

“…4h
Roberts is establishing a covering record…”

If true, most perceptive of you, grasshopper.

And we should care because…?

I think it’s about settling some of the details on how binding arbitration agreements are.

I think that’s how the Supremes generally break in a newbie, let them write the easy decisions for awhile before letting them loose on the tougher ones. If they never really make the grade, the chief keeps them on the easy ones (see: Thomas, C.)

Don’t see where this rises to the level of having the Supreme Court weigh in.
