kavadoooomed


are you slow? why would he need to say he personally believed it's settled law when he already cast doubt on it and there were only three judges at the time who would presumably vote to overturn it (Not a majority) so at the time, he had no motivation to insert his personal opinion as it was irrelevant. He may be a strong conservative, which he is, but he's not stupid.

also, does this (bold) make you nervous?

Separately, Senator Mazie K. Hirono, Democrat of Hawaii, on Thursday published a “committee confidential” email about policies for Native Hawaiians that could be of interest not only to Hawaii’s two Democratic senators but to Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, a key swing vote who guards the interests of Native Alaskans.

In that email, Mr. Kavanaugh questions Native Hawaiians as a protected group like Indian tribes. He wrote that prepared testimony “needs to make clear that any program targeting Native Hawaiians as a group is subject to strict scrutiny and of questionable validity under the Constitution.”

If someone was desperate for anything to hurl at kavanaugh and the best they could come up with was the sound legal advice he gave that legislation specifically targeting groups like native hawaiians could fall apart under strict constitutional scrutiny, then this guy must be clean as a whistle.
Why do you think Murkowski would somehow be offended by that? Don't you think she'd want legislation that helps native alaskans to be well advised and not written by morons who let it fall apart in the courts because they unconstitutionally targeted a minority group?

that's great and all, but fails to explain why the G.O.P. would want to hide that information; you try to spin it likes it's good for Hawaiins and Alaskans, okay, if it was why did the G.O.P want to hide it? Sen. Mazie Hirono clearly doesn't share your view.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) on Thursday tweeted screenshots of documents from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's time in the Bush White House that are stamped "committee confidential."

"These are the docs Rs don't want you to see—because they show that Judge Kavanaugh wrongly believes that Native Hawaiian programs are Constitutionally questionable. I defy anyone reading this to be able to conclude that it should be deemed confidential in any way, shape, or form," Hirono said in a tweet.


anyways, I was half-joking with the #kavadoooomed hashtag, he will get confirmed in one way or another I imagine.

Do you really need to look hard to find reasons that the documents from Kavanaugh's time as White House Counsel in the Bush Administration- documents that often crossed the oval office desk- would be categorically rendered confidential?

Uh, are you serious? Bush's presidency was like 10+ years ago? I agree with Hirono, I don't see why they should remain confidential.

Kavanaugh refuses to answer whether he discussed the Mueller investigation with Trump's lawyer(s).

Nope.

As I've made very clear here, i didn't vote for Trump and he's not a good president.

I'm also not a whiny shill. Booker should be purged from his seat for leaking declassified docs. At the end of the day, none of this matters. Thanks for Mr. Harry Reid - BK will be on the court in a few weeks time.

Are you going to cry if/when Ginsburg resigns/passes away? I imagine yes, because you complain and bitch about most things without substance.

E: Try not to throw any whataboutism in your reply. TY!
