And I agree.

Go on, keep telling yourself Trump's choice was on that level. Do you guys actually pay attention to Trump when he talks?

You were the one claiming that the choice was even made by Trump, and that it was (presumably, based on your link) because Kavanaugh once expressed a belief that the POTUS should be immune from prosecution while in office. You're delving into the depths of birther and truther territory here.


I was pointing out that, if you actually read the link, Kavanaugh was not claiming that this was part of the Constitution, but something that needed to be passed by congress first, the implication being that Kavanaugh would not rule in the POTUS' favor under current law.

As far as the choice, my guess is that Trump asked for advice from someone else and signed off on the choice, which is typically what every leader does. The "list" of strict constructionist judges from which Kavanaugh was picked was obviously not created by Trump.
