I would have liked to meet with Judge Kavanaugh personally before deciding how I'd vote. Even attempted to set up a meeting with him, though unfortunately the White House never responded. So I’m just going to say it. I’ll be voting no on Judge Kavanaugh. Here’s why:
-
-
Thanks to unprecedented efforts by the Trump Administration to conceal large portions of Judge Kavanaugh's record and his unwillingness to answer basic questions before the Judiciary Committee, much of his record and judicial philosophy remain a mystery to the American people.

But what we have seen provides reason enough to vote against this nominee.
Show this thread -
His past rulings, writings and evasive answers before the Judiciary Committee lead to the inescapable conclusion that, as a Supreme Court justice, Kavanaugh would seek to undermine and eventually overturn Roe v. Wade, and would fail to protect people with pre-existing conditions.

I am also deeply troubled by Judge Kavanaugh's views on executive power.

We currently have a president whose conduct is at the center of a federal criminal investigation.

But in his testimony before the Judiciary Committee, Judge Kavanaugh refused to say whether he thinks it is constitutional for presidents to be investigated, and whether he continues to believe that the President has the power to fire a prosecutor criminally investigating him.

In this country, no one, not even the President, is above the law. Should the President's legal team decide, as they have threatened, to contest that principle in court, it is imperative that the Supreme Court ensures that the President is held accountable.

The lack of transparency is deeply troubling and disqualifies the outcome. That the coverup is so partisan also means the acceptance of Kavanaugh is invalid.

While the media has been distracted with “Look! There’s a squirrel!” coverage of the OpEd. Kavanaugh’s political philosophy and lies to Congress get a mere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Dems have no strategy; GOP is dancing a jig.
