Justice Brett Kavanaugh is already demonstrating why he is my favorite Supreme Court justice.

I have a startling admission to make: I do believe global warming is making a comeback.  Why? Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chief Administrator Scott Pruitt’s rollback of senseless regulations warms my heart so much that I am sure it has raised the global temperature average!
