Camille Cole - Kavanaugh Votes in Favor of Planned Parenthood
Summary: A recent case came to the Supreme Court involving Planned Parenthood. In a 6-3 vote, Kavanaugh voted in favor of Planned Parenthood which was a shocking decision to most, and made one Republican Senator, Senator Susan Collins, feel “vindication.” This vindication was refuted by others as the case did not have anything to do with abortion.
Analysis: I believe that this is a massive win for the Democratic Party as we see that this Justice will (hopefully) do what the Supreme Court was meant to do: be non-partisan. The main reason that a justice is supposed to be able to serve for their life is to avoid the pressure of the current politics, and do what is right.

It's interesting to see that as much as people didn't want Kavanaugh to have a seat in the Supreme Court, he is making decisions that the country (as a majority) considers good.
ReplyDeleteThis comes to a huge surprise but im glad to see we have some kind pf change going.
ReplyDeleteYou know I was really stressin about finals and the key concepts we turned in today/tomorrow and this just kind of made my whole day. Knowing that at least a sliver of our government is capable of doing its original purpose is spectacular. It should just be a given, but at this point I'll take what I can get.
ReplyDeleteI am honestly so surprised by this and am genuinely happy something decent happened for once
