    Kavanaugh said in 1999 that the Supreme Court’s 1974 ruling on Nixon’s tapes “maybe" was "wrongly decided—heresy though it is to say so."

        #Kavanaugh thinks he’s so intelligent that he can re-write history. He’s so arrogant that he feels he can make a better ruling than the auspicious original judges. Kavanaugh’s hubris alone makes him unqualified for #SCOTUS #MerrickGarland #MerrickGarland #MerrickGarland

        I've commented on that very issue. To question the ruling of eight SC Justices; a unanimous decision in U.S. v. Richard Nixon, is stunningly arrogant. It feels like his testimony this morning is scripted.

        I think you’re right. #Kavanaugh testimony was definitely scripted. CNN reported that he spent over 80 hours rehearsing with mock questions. One thing Republicans are not is dumb. Very savvy politically and not afraid to get down & dirty.

        It may be absurd and off-base, but I'd like to see Democrats treat him like a hostile witness Quite unfortunately, I think the fix is in. This is a foregone conclusion and Americans, especially women, LGBTQ, minorities and workers will lose. And sorry, Ben Sasse, people will die.

        I hate it, but I think #Kavanaugh appointment to #SCOTUS is a done deal. I hope the Dems put up one helluva fight against his confirmation. I hope he always has that asterisk next to his name. #MerrickGarland #MerrickGarland #SCOTUS

        The trouble with interpreting quotes like this is determining whether the speaker is talking about the reasoning or the result. Best example: liberal judges who concede that Roe was not a well reasoned decision despite agreement with the result. Bad reasoning must be questioned.

        What possible flaw could lie in penumbric reasoning? If you won’t concede the constitution is a living, breathing document, then surely you’ll concede that as a dead document it is well suited to be interpreted with the aid of a Ouija Board?

        His standard for presidents not facing justice appears to be if they are Republican or Democratic.

        Kavanaugh is going to be indebted to who it was that's paid off his debts. He is too far right to have a life time appointment. Everyone will suffer except the top 1%. Just say NO.

        Kavanaugh is long-winded (eating up the clock) an adept tap dancer (avoiding an answer to questions). 🤥🤨😏

        Is everything in quotes [" "] a direct, verbatim transcript of his statement? And it's not merely heresy to say that Nixon v. US was wrongly decided. It's anti republican (sic) and corrupt.

        As Nixon famously said if a president does it it’s not illegal. Apparently Kavanaugh agrees. Frightening.
