    In 2007 I sent Brett Kavanaugh this letter asking to explain his inaccurate and misleading testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I’m still waiting for an answer.pic.twitter.com/c7XoGJKDSj

        The Committee will need access to documents about Judge Kavanaugh’s work in the Bush Administration to get to the bottom of these contradictions.

        #SCOTUS nominee Bret Kavanaugh says “We should not burden a sitting president w/ civil suits, criminal investigation, or criminal prosecutions” I say: “The President should not burden America w/ crimes, corruption, treason, conflicts of interest, & emoluments clause. violations”pic.twitter.com/Vb1mVVrChC

        And I say: You nailed it! You are absolutely right. (Can Judge Kavanaugh show us where in the Constitution it says that the president is to be unburdened by such nuisances?)

        No one, ever is above the law under our Constitution. The Executive is just one branch, and legislators and judiciary other branches...all individuals in all branches are under the law and mutual check and balance even during active roles...fundamental

        True. And yet we're about to get a Supreme Court justice who apparently doesn't believe that . . . Very disheartening.

        This....every American concerned about Kavanaugh’s nomination should keep this information to the forefront of as many social media platforms as possible. The very fact Kavanaugh never replied to Senator Durbin is indicative of arrogance/deception.

        The fact Durbins tweet only has 4400 retweets is shameful! EVERYONE needs to know about this! This is likely our best chance to both stall & eventually derail Kavanaugh’s nomination! We need this to dominate the news & social media

        Yep- I hear you & agree. Durbin & Leahy are as trustworthy, "do the right thing" politicians as we've got. They tried to get an investigation into Kavanaugh's lying under oath, but it went no where.

        Replying to @SenatorDurbin

        You’re missing it. The resignation & nomination are corrupt. It’s come out that Kavanaugh was picked in November and that convinced Kennedy to retire. Why? Because he believes a president is above the law and will obstruct justice for POTUS and Kennedy’s son. #NoSCOTUSvote

        Id like to know if the one that took Kennedy's place be able to recuse himself on anything that involves Trump Russia and his family. His family is in trouble with him. And I will be damned if I stay silent. Trump made a side comment about having the judges the GOP ones I can't
