Readers Write: Kavanaugh — A balanced jurist

The Island Now

Senators Schumer, Blumenthal, Feinstein and Booker are just some of the naysayers trashing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. 

Schumer, also known as the Monday morning quarterback, had written off Judge Kavanaugh from the onset of his nomination without any considerate thought on the matter.

The mob-like actions of many in Washington, D.C. over the last week serves as a reminder that the progressive agenda that some espouse is not what this country needs and it serves to destroy than build up this nation. 

History reminds us that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and Supreme Court Justice William Brennan were both nominated by a Republican president while their judicial careers allowed for liberal leanings.

The alarmists who fear the tenure of Justice Kavanaugh need to look at the history of the judiciary and realize that justices keep an open mind and render their decisions with much due prudence.

Democracy is alive and well despite those who want to thwart the exercise of the political process.

Judge Kavanaugh will be a balanced constitutionalist with an open mind.

His years of unsung volunteer service to his local community puts him in a very favorable light. Congratulations to our newest Supreme Court Justice.
