When President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace liberal Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, the carefully scheduled Trump Derangement commenced. Such was the fear that Trump would keep his campaign promise and nominate someone who professes to follow the Constitution strictly, and not interpret it to mean something other than what it really says, that Women’s March published a preprepared news release riddled with errors.
