Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 4

[Anonymous]

The bar association was shocked that an investigation was ‘tainted’ because documents were stolen from Democrats’ computer servers and turned over to Kavanaugh and ‘Kavanaugh wasn’t concerned’?

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/politics/kavanaugh-bar-association-aba.html


In a transcript of the conference call, Ms. Tucker raised concerns about documents concerning judicial nominations stolen from the computer servers of Democratic lawmakers and passed along to Mr. Kavanaugh when he worked in the White House Counsel’s Office. He has said he did not know the documents had been stolen.
Ms. Tucker said she was surprised by Mr. Kavanaugh’s attitude when she asked him about the matter.

“He did not express any concern that the process had been compromised or that there was the need for a White House investigation,” she said. “We were concerned about his lack of interest in that particular matter, considering we felt that the process for which he was responsible had been tainted.”

But Kavanaugh's belligerent tone and blaming the Clintons disqualify him as a competent justice. A total disgrace. Case closed.

Agree. We as a country can do better for a Supreme Court seat. Heck, even the partisan Republicans can do better.

Seriously. You have to have a deeper bench than this. Go pick another one.

So that the Democrats can do this all over again even though we already know they will not vote for any Republican nominee?

I’m sure you have at least one who isn’t a belligerent, unbalanced hack. Right? Maybe not. Must be tough to recruit and retain in the GOP.

But he doesn’t have integrity. You leave that at the door when you give your soul to the devil/gop.

Gorsuch made a mild comment against Trump's attacks on Judge Curiel. He showed some integrity. Kavanaugh has declined to show any integrity through this process.

That is such utter BS.
He and his family have been put through the wringer with false allegations and attacks from the left. His name has been smeared and his reputation damaged. He is defending himself and his family from the mud being slung at him.

If he hadn't lied with a blanket denial when the Ford allegation first surfaced, he would have been sworn in already. He made a grave tactical error and he dug his hole deeper with further lies and obfuscation. It really is his own fault for his own behavior, both in 1982 and 2018.

I don't care what he says until he backs up the words with his vote.

Trump being a classless a$$ has nothing to do with Kavanaugh and the Supreme Court. Flake is a conservative Senator and Kavanaugh is a conservative judge. If the allegations of assault are not backed up by some other info, he will be voted onto the court.


If the Dems would not have sat on Ford until the last possible moment the Republicans would have dumped him. Ford reached out in July when she heard that Kavanaugh was a finalist. She wanted to stop him from getting on the court. Had Feinstein redacted her name and sent the letter over at that time Kavanaugh more than likely would not be the nominee. The Dems wanted this to play out the way that it is playing out. They wanted an FBI into Fords allegations. Now that they have that they are trying to move the goal posts to delay even more. This is a political game and has nothing to do with the Supreme Court and more to do with voters. Republican voters want Kavanaugh and there will be a backlash if they drop him. Dem voters want to see them fight everything Trump. The swing voters want to make it look like they really care before they vote the way that gives them the best chance of getting elected. No one cares about Kavanaugh or Ford.

You can keep rehashing this, but it doesn't change the facts on the ground today. Kavanaugh lied repeatedly on Fox and before the senate. His behavior did not display judicial temperment and only a small percentage of the American public support his nomination.

Honestly, I don't think his audience cares that a woman who has suffered as much Dr. Ford has was taunted by Trump. They think it's funny to do this. They applauded and laughed when he taunted her. I felt enraged by it, personally.

There were no consequences when he mocked the disabled reporter, there won't be any for this.

No consequences when he mocked the gold star family either.

Or a POW.

Deplorables eat up the insults.

Will the expose about Trump tax evasions strategies put DT over the edge today?

Exactly. There were a few different ways he could have handled it. “Belligerent BS” was not the best approach.

Was that an act for DT not to withdraw his nomination?

Because she understood that the yearbook comment was stupid, idiotic teenage boy behavior that, in the 1980s, was commonplace. She saw it in 1983(?) and has had 35 years to recover. Since they were good friends, it stands to reason that the people involved talked about it at the time. May have even been in on the "joke" and thought it was stupid but okay, as we women often were at that time.

Doubt it. We all know he’s a fraud and a crook.

Now if someone can actually prosecute him, that’s a different story.

But the investigation didn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know about him.

True. But will eat at him to have it all laid out so clearly with so much evidence in the "failing" NYT?

Trump doesn’t care what BK does or says. He just wants him in that seat. For protection. As a notch in his belt. He will do it at any cost.

Hope the price is too high for some of those key senators.

Do you all think a declaration of being a Republican gives these females a protective aura that thwarts any wrongful attempts by males?

To be fair, female apologists span both sides of the political spectrum. We defended Bill when we probably shouldn't have. And they have pretty much given a free pass to every white male ever accused of impropriety with a woman.

The difference is that we, as women, need to draw a line in the sand for this one. It's a lifetime appointment. This man will be with us, ruling over us for the next 40 years. This cannot stand.

Bill Clinton’s grossness was a different time - back then people thought that men could behave badly, but as long as they were taking care of the people we gave them a pass. The press used to not even report on Presidents’ bad behavior way back when and that obviously changed (more for corruption, less for infidelity). Times have changed and we now expect better. It does not seem reasonable at all for people to still be rd ting about ‘Bill Clinton ‘ did this or that when plenty of voting citizens today were still in diapers then.

Of course I don’t understand how the lying under oath passed muster? I still find that shocking, despite the fact that Trump lies every day and apparently has apparently evaded paying his taxes for years. But I digress.

Dude lives in la-la land. And has zero sense of self-reflection and loads of denial. It will be someone else’s fault if he even comprehends what happened.
