Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 3

[Anonymous]

This will be remembered as the straw that broke the #metoo movements momentum and rendered it passe. People will recognize that it had significant roots, and brought about a much needed awareness, but was damaged by those who would callously use and exploit for their own gain.

That's not what fake news means.

It was repeated by the Dems several times yesterday in the committee room. So, yes, it is fake.

Wow! This is the single most shocking thing that has happened during this whole episode.

I expect politicians to lie, I expect journalists to take short cuts with the truth, and I expect DCUM to post comments slanted by their partisan views.

But never, never would I expect the president of the ABA to misrepresent his views as those of Bar Association.

What happens to him for this misstep?

Here is media coverage of the letter, as well as a link to the letter. It's pretty straightforward. Not fake.

The letter also comes after the ABA previously evaluated Kavanaugh’s professional accomplishments for the Supreme Court and found him “well qualified for the position.”

The problem here, is that the president of the ABA acted independently leading the public to believe that the ABA committee backed his statements. They do not.

Therefore, Fake news.

It was an important letter that led, in part, to the FBI investigation that we have now.

Dismiss it if that makes you feel better.

I don’t think so. Even if Kav gets on the court, I think the House can go blue, and he would be impeached. Whether the Senate would shitcan him or not, it’s not going away.

I’d bet he and his wife will ultimately see Brett’s spittle and tears-flecked performance as a serious mistake for them all.

Your response shows you really can't see past your partisan agenda. Just to be clear, my stated belief has nothing to do with his confirmation or the 'color' of the next Congress.

nope.

You really believe that is about women's rights?

Your emotional post (camel’s back, callous, etc) is partisan. Get over yourself.

nope.

How about women's rights are important and should be absolutely equal to men's rights but not take undue, wrongfully gained advantage in the process?

So why isn't the second letter recanting the first letter considered news? Google turned up only the Washington Examiner and Twitchy mentioning it.

And, we have to wonder just how much press this newly released letter will get.
Not much, is my bet. This is such crap.

Why wouldn't they? The president of the ABA egregiously misrepresented the position of his organization.

This should be a big deal.

Look at how The Hill spins this story. Talks about his rating back in 2006. To see the new letter, you have to go to the very last paragraph and open a link.
This is why we hate the media.

Possibly. But probably very slowly. Not in the forefront. They probably wouldn't consider it an important detail.

Totally agree. I have said more times than I can count that this story has set back the MeToo movement. Big time.
