IT'S THE BUSH PARTY:
GET READY FOR THE BUSH COURT (Daniel Malloy, JUL 10 2018, OZY)
Few people in his position know the space so well. Brett Kavanaugh learned the nooks and crannies of the White House when he was working in the counsel's office, helping select conservatives to fill the federal judiciary, and then as George W. Bush's staff secretary -- an immensely important position that manages the paper crossing the president's desk. [...][I]f Kavanaugh does join the court, the conservative majority will be composed of the following:A George H.W. Bush SCOTUS and appeals court nominee (Clarence Thomas)A George W. Bush SCOTUS nominee who advised Gov. Jeb Bush during the 2000 Florida recount (John Roberts)A George W. Bush SCOTUS nominee who was nominated to an appeals seat by George H.W. Bush (Samuel Alito)A deputy attorney general in George W. Bush's Justice Department, later nominated by Bush to an appeals judgeship (Neil Gorsuch)Brett Kavanaugh
