Kavanaugh now excusing past lies by using George Bush's old "Terrorist Surveillance Program" canard. He was in the loop on a September 17 2001 Yoo memo that was underpinning for later October 4 and November 2 members authorizing illegal wiretapping.

Leahy asking to make docs public, It's not fair to me and not fair to Judge Kavanaugh to ask him about the memos.

Leahy: I want the docs I directly asked for on August 16, directly relevant to his own emails to John Yoo.

Off-topic but "wireless wiretapping"—it's funny how language evolves.

Does any of this matter? Kavanaugh can say "I'm going to overturn Roe v Wade, protect Trump against indictment, and yeah, I totally was down with the stolen emails", and he'd still get confirmed easy peasy. This is a dog and pony show with no consequences.

He can be impeached by D congress, Kavanaugh in mine field.
-
2/3 of a Senate that's going to confirm him comfortably with at least 51 votes if not more? Sure, maybe D takes senate in November, and yeah, they'll probably bolster numbers in 2020, but getting 2/3 seems impossible

So you saying Rs will sanction perjury for members of the high Court?
-
Maybe? I wouldn't put it past them. BUT, they'll totally let slide the evasive non answers, the filibustering, the "i can't recall"s and the "I can't answer hypotheticals that are totally not hypotheticals because it's going to definitely happen in the coming weeks"

Agreed. Can't really put anything past current gop. Republican party not like it was 10 yrs ago.
