Last night President Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to be the next U.S. Supreme Court justice, replacing Justice Kennedy.
Everything I am seeing and hearing about the nomination is positive for gun owners! That includes a glowing report by my counterpart in Maryland Shall Issue, Mark Pennak, who had direct dealings with Judge Kavanaugh, as well as comments and support by national gun organizations, including GOA, NRA, and SAF.
And (surprise, surprise) the gun-control crowd is having fits over the nomination. Nothing like the smell of gun-controllers melting down in the morning! (With apologies to Apocalypse Now ;-) ).
Kavanaugh's appointment could well mean that some gun-rights issues that the Court has not taken up in the past could be considered in the future.
ACTION ITEM
It's time to make sure our Senators, who vote to confirm Supreme Court appointments, are aware of our strong support for Brett Kavanaugh.
I suggest that you call the Senators' offices AND send them a webmail, too.
SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS AND WEBMAIL TEXT:
I urge you to support Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy!
The United States Supreme Court is the highest tribunal for cases and controversies that arise under the U.S. Constitution and federal laws. Judge Kavanaugh, who is highly regarded amongst his peers, has a strong history of interpreting law and not legislating from the bench, which are key qualifications needed for Supreme Court Justices.
Support Judge Kavanaugh's nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court!
