    Judge Kavanaugh understands that the job of a Supreme Court justice is to rule based on the facts of the case, the law, and the Constitution – and nothing else. #SCOTUSpic.twitter.com/NBwFRjsuIR

        Oh, and what a nice guy your judge seems to be. Really cool how he snubbed the Parkland father who attempted to shake his hand. Those aren't South Dakota values, Senator. Why are you ok with that? #StopKavanaughHearing

        Even if that were true, there still should be no nominations from a prez under FBI investigation and who committed felonies with his former consigliere. Also, if he’s that good of a nom, why the secrecy re his records? He’ll still be ‘good’ after the midterms, right?

        I wish you understood that your job is to support and defend the Constitution. How can we possibly push through this appointment when it was made by a POTUS that attacks our Constiution on almost a daily basis? #rememberyouroath #StopKavenaugh

        Is this code for "Roe v. Wade will be ok"? It's ridiculous to assume that & very insulting to your constituents' intelligence. We've had to fight for Roe v. Wade many times since 1973. Why lie to your people just to get what you want? Where's your Integrity? #rememberyouroath

        He had a 100% pro-life voting record, unfortunately, so in this case it probably means that he thinks it's a great thing that Roe v Wade is in jeopardy.

        I agree. That's why the hypocrisy of his Tweet is galling. Of course he wants Roe v. Wade overturned. But he's been Tweeting that Kavanaugh thinks it's settled law, which is what I assumed he meant here.

        Agreed. But he has already indicated that he plans to "interpret" the law in ways that are opposite of established precedent (thus "making law"). Stop the semantics, and release all of his records for full disclosure.

        The only thing you know about him is damaging to you, trump & the GOP. You're hiding that from the Senate & from the American people. Do your job. Protect the constitution, not the GOP and the illegitimate president. Release the records. Stop the vote. #MerrickGarland

        AND he conveniently believes we can’t try a sitting president. Except for Clinton- that one he was for. Why the sudden change, you think, Sen. Thune? And why the withholding of all those documents? What’s being hidden? Did Merrick Garland’s récords get withheld? Ohhhh...right...

        Fair enough. Prove it by releasing the other 95% of the documents. Let objectivity occur.

        It doesn't matter if he's qualified or not - the President is under investigation and therefore shouldn't be appointing SCJs.

        Well that might be the case in normal times- These are not normal times. We have a Candidate who has emphatically stated that a President is above the law - We also have a President who is facing charges who happened to pick him.................
