Kavenaugh OMG

[CherylNYC]

So, even though I'm a strong feminist and pro-choice advocate I don't think Kavanaugh's hostility towards women's autonomy is the most solid case against his appointment. Honoring settled law is an important concept, but the SCOTUS upheld anti-sodomy laws in 1986. That was 'settled law' for many years. Not that I'm equating the two, but I don't think a philosophy of rigid adherence to settled law is a good way to choose jurists because then we're mired in arguments about which settled laws we're inclined to keep.

Kavanaugh has perjured himself more than a few times. That's why the White House and the Senate Judiciary Committee have so zealously tried to keep his records secret. Kavanaugh is a fervent partisan who had no trouble promoting sordid conspiracy theories about Vince Foster's suicide, for instance. He has also sanctimoniously claimed that anyone who has ever committed perjury, (Bill Clinton), is unfit to serve. This article succinctly sums up the obvious:

Wow, Cheryl in NYC! I'm very impressed with the way you write! If you aren't an attorney, I'll bet you would have been a great one. Maybe a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York? They are fierce!

As for Kavenaugh, whenever I hear that someone may be of questionable character --on TV or even in person, I love to observe--okay, I mean obsessively scrutinize their behavior for telltale signs that confirm their shady reputations.
If anyone has a chance to see him again on TV, see if you notice that his smile seems genuine only for his fellow white, middle aged Republican pals, but otherwise you can tell he's a phony because his lips may be smiling, but his eyes look condescending, cold and malevolent.
When Kamala Harris started bearing down on him, he shot a look at her that could have melted paint off a car.
Clearly he does not appreciate assertive women, especially those of color.

Yes, Kavanaugh did say that birth control pills were "abortion inducing drugs."

So, that begs the question as to why does he and his wife of 14 years only have two children? One may assume having marital sex for over 14 years with no birth control, they would have at least 5 or 6 children.

Senators Collins and Murkowski can stop this madness. I have been calling both offices multiple times a day. Please get involved and vote, OUR lives depends on it. This is not hyperbole!

Fasten your seat-belt there Brett, you're in for a bumpy ride this week...

Meanwhile, it seems Kavenaugh is a weenie-wagger, and women are coming out of the woodwork from his past saying what a perve he is.
Trump still backs him (naturally) but there are serious doubts this bastard will be appointed as the newest SCOTUS justice.
There's not enough time before the midterm elections for the GOP to try to cram the next loser down our throats, and the midterms may really turn the tables on these women-hating creeps.

I think Collins is going to support the nomination unless something totally scandalous gets announced Wednesday. Who knows? Anyway, Collins looks to me like she's already decided.

I just typed Kavenaugh and liar onto the net and was disgusted by what I found. This man has NO credibility and I pray he is not confirmed. Oh and I would like to see him lose his current day job. Are we really paying him a 6 figure salary to adjudicate cases when he apparently has such a bad memory (ahem liar). Really Brett......you were a virgin for ALL those years?! Tell that to your mom but not an adult who has lived a reasonably normal life.
