I am not following this as closely as others but my 10,000 foot view says there's no way this guy should be on the Supreme Court.

Too many purple posts but is morekaos actually backing Kavanaugh?

And what if he is part of Atlas*.

*Anyone watch the "Shooter" TV series?

then the left has succeeded in the smear campaign.  if you take a closer look at the facts (and not feelings) then you'll see he went through 60 hours of interviews, background checks, and was universally lauded as a well qualified candidate.  the democrats from day one made it very public that they would do whatever it takes to stop the nomination.  and it wasn't until the 11th hour that multiple assault claims surfaced.  we even have claims that he was part of bar fights (the headline), but if you read closely he threw ice LOL.

Sorry, but the final check of power in the US is the Supreme Court. So those appointed need to be scrutinized very closely, Dem or Rep.

Just based on his denials, recants and excuses (his own words, not the Dems), my red flag goes up about him.

Sure, we all were young and stupid once... but we are all not going to sit in the highest court of the land.

The Democrats character assassination is going splendidly.

Why didn't they do it to Gorsuch?

gorsuch's nomination didn't "matter" as much as this one, in the left's eyes.  further, gorsuch was replacing scalia which was a "like for like" replacement.

JIMHO:
He appears to hold partisans grudges. 
He appears to favor partisanship over justice.
He appears to support illegal activities for partisan reasons, i.e. the illegally obtained democrat memos.
He supports torture in an ends justify the means way
He is product of the cronyism of privilege.
He furthers the cronyism of the privilege, Kozinski's son clerked for him
Pretends to know nothing of Kozinski's abuse of power

IMHO, his adult life in power, is support of torture, stolen party documents for political gain, blind eye to those in power and cronyism.


So yea, you better keep people focused on their sons being wrecked by a false accusation and assumed guilty.  Because if people look at his testimony and wonder about truthfulness and then look back at his earlier answers they'll see a real problem.

 

[zubs]

It seems to me that a lot of the people in Trumps circle have their lives ruined.  If they didn't work for Trump or get nominated by him, they would have been better off.
 
Manafort
Cohen
Some generals, etc.

And now Kavanaugh.



Saturday Night Live needs to do a skit on this where nominees are shaking in their boots hoping they don't get picked.

the resistance is not based on his judicial record

American Bar Association gives Brett Kavanaugh a unanimous 'well-qualified' rating

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh is ?well qualified? to hold a seat on the Supreme Court, the American Bar Association said Friday, giving President Trump?s nominee another boost heading into next week?s confirmation hearing.

The ABA?s federal judiciary committee gave its unanimous rating to Judge Kavanaugh, who has sat for a dozen years on the circuit court of appeals in Washington, earning high marks for his approach to judging.

Though conservatives don?t put as much stock in the rating from the liberal-leaning ABA, Democrats have called it the ?gold standard? for evaluating whether a judge should be confirmed.

fair concerns.  most of these points will be overlooked because the left's (and the media's) primary focus is on the assault allegations.  if the fbi cannot corroborate or clears those charges, all of the points you raised will go to the wind.

There are multiple patently false statements he made in his testimony before the Senate Committee. These can be proved false beyond all reasonable doubt, if the FBI is investigating this.

Many Reps' ethics and morals allow them to ignore Kavanaugh's lies to the Senate Committee, but apparently even Trump finds this "unacceptable":

Amid Kavanaugh questions, Trump says it's not 'acceptable' to lie to Congresshttps://www.cnn.com/2018/10/02/politics/donald-trump-brett-kavanaugh-testimony/index.html

This is Standard Trump - evasive, confusing, contradictory, long-winded and winding statements, so that he can deny ever having shared that opinion/thought.

 

[Perspective]

Case in point:

?It is a very scary time for young men in America when you could be guilty of something you may not be guilty of,? Trump told reporters on the White House lawn before boarding Marine One. ?This is a very, very ? this is a very difficult time.?

Is it really a "scary time" for young men in America? Really? How? Please explain. How can you be guilty of something you may not be guilt of? It's not just a "very difficult time" but a "very, very, very difficult time" right?

This is your learned President...

here's how.  mob mentality and feelings over reality.

reality is kav is not sexually harassing people, is not proven to have ever sexually harassed anyone, yet a bunch of butthurt students who feel like he's a serial rapist don't want to have their safe spaces invaded by a conservative thinker.  maybe they should go back to their crying rooms?

Students Filed Title IX Complaints Against Kavanaugh to Prevent Him From Teaching at Harvard Law

In the days before Harvard Law School announced embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh will not teach in Cambridge this January, undergraduates eager to block his return to campus struck on a new strategy: file Title IX complaints against the conservative judge.

Over the past week, several students filed formal complaints alleging Kavanaugh?s presence in Cambridge would violate Harvard?s policy prohibiting sexual and gender-based harassment ? though several Title IX experts said this strategy was unlikely to succeed.

Jacqueline L. Kellogg ?19 ? who said she has filed a complaint against Kavanaugh with the University?s Office for Dispute Resolution ? came up with the idea several days ago. She began urging fellow students to follow suit over the weekend, at one point sending an email to a group of students at the College and the Law School that offered specific instructions on how to bring a formal complaint to ODR.

By the time The Crimson reported late Monday that Kavanaugh had left his teaching position at the Law School, at least 48 students had signed an online petition certifying they had filed a Title IX complaint against the nominee. But at least one signatory said that not all of those who signed the petition had actually filed complaints as of Monday evening.

Kellogg and Julia B. Wiener ?19 ? who also signed the petition and filed a complaint against Kavanaugh ? both argued the nominee?s presence on campus would create a ?hostile environment? as defined in Harvard guidelines related to sexual harassment.

Some Harvard Law School professors were not sold on Kellogg and Wiener?s tactics.

Jeannie Suk Gersen, a professor at the Law School and a Title IX expert who has written extensively about Kavanaugh?s confirmation, said that ? while she supports the students? freedom to protest the nominee?s former teaching role at Harvard ? the notion of filing Title IX complaints is ?misplaced.?

?Such an abuse of process would undermine the legitimacy and credibility of complaints that the Title IX process is intended to deal with, as well as of the Title IX office to focus on its duties,? Suk Gersen wrote in an email. ?It might be effective in drawing further attention to some students? objection to Kavanaugh?s teaching appointment, but I don?t expect him to be found to have violated Harvard University?s Sexual & Gender-Based Harassment Policy based on the currently known public allegations against him.?

Janet Halley, another Law School professor with a background in Title IX law, also called the students? strategy of filing formal complaints unlikely to succeed.

?I urge the students to divert their energy from this implausible claim that he?s going to create a sexually hostile environment by teaching at the Law School to the really grand issue of whether he?s fit to be in his current judgeship or promoted to the Supreme Court,? Halley said.

Had Kavanaugh not chosen to leave the Law School, administrators would have been forced to review students? complaints under the school?s Title IX procedures. It is unclear what will become of the complaints now that the nominee has severed his ties to Harvard.
