Judge Kavanaugh on work law

Charlotte Garden is an associate professor at Seattle University School of Law.

This post analyzes Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s most significant work-law opinions. Although several are already receiving attention and analysis – especially his dissent in a case that arose after a killer whale killed a trainer – Kavanaugh has drafted dozens of other opinions in labor and employment-discrimination cases. Overall, these opinions reflect that Kavanaugh tends to interpret narrowly the limits that work law places on employers, resulting in judicial and agency deference to employers’ decisions. For example, Kavanaugh has interpreted statutes or controlling Supreme Court cases in ways that exclude certain workers from coverage or bar certain types of claims. When he writes in cases in which he parts ways with his colleagues, it is often because he has a more employer-friendly view of the law than they do.

1. And he thinks a president can't be criminally investigated. Don't forget that.

It's the number one reason Donnie Two Scoops appointed him, and the Repugs in the Senate want to rush his confirmation through before all the facts are in.

Once he's on the SCOTUS, he'll be in the right place to rule on the case where a witness is resisting a Grand Jury subpoena on the basis that Mueller's investigation is unconstitutional. The appeals process is being paid for by right wing groups, so you know what they're trying to do -- protect Donald Trump at all costs.

If Mueller ever gets to the end of his investigation, it'll be a miracle. The GOP and its masters are throwing up every obstacle possible to put a kibosh on the whole thing, with Nunes leading the way. Putin must really want his puppet to stay where he is.

2. We have to block him! This is crucial.

If he gets confirmed I have heard that the number of justices can be increased to a reflect the large US population. This has been mentioned more than once and it seems like it can be done constitutionally. I wonder if they can also get rid of the electoral college as well?
