Brett Kavanaugh - SCOTUS nominee
What a perfect example of a entitled white douchebag. The more I learn about this guy, the more convinced I am that he shouldn't even be considered for the SCOTUS.
- The complaints brought by Dr Ford and others is just the icing on a pretty vile cake. Even if Ford and other accusers have mistaken Kavanaugh for someone else, the fact that so many people have come forward with stories about him demonstrates that he is not who he says he is. Why does he insist on presenting himself as a "saint" when it is very clear that he was not. Why not just admit that he was a dog?
- He was a Republican political operative who was extrememly involved in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. This seems like it should be automatically disqualifying. I don't think anyone who has served a political party should be considered for the High Court.
- There is quite a bit of evidence that he has committed perjury during all his confirmation hearings - for all judicial appointments that he has received as well as the current one.
I don't understand why the Repugs don't cut their losses on this tool and just get another hardliner for the Court. It's not like they don't have a BUNCH of them lined up.
I heard a Republican talking head on the news a couple days ago complaining that the Dems are always trying to torpedo Republicans with this same sexual misconduct charge. And I thought, "well, so many of your guys are predators!" Dems have their own, of course, but the Republicans seem to have a pretty noticable blind spot when it comes to sexual predators and gender violence (e.g., domestic violence). They preach a good game about moral standards, but they are awfully comfortable with a particular kind of misogynist. Just sayin.
