      Well, for a guy who helped impeach Clinton for lying about a blow job, treating lying abt Devil's Triangle as DQing for a lifetime appointment seems like a no-brainer. It's Kavanaugh's own standard, he should be held to it.https://twitter.com/Jamie_Weinstein/status/1046046924242071552 …

      FWIW, in my latest podcast w/ @mschlapp, a Kavanaugh friend and proponent, he did say if it can be proved Kavanaugh lied to Judiciary committee, even on something trivial, he thinks that would be disqualifying for SC https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-jamie-weinstein-show/episode-71-matt-schlapp/ … https://twitter.com/Jamie_Weinstein/status/1046046042981126144 …

      Mind you, I'd prefer Kav be DQed over his lies about torture, warrantless wiretapping, judicial opinions, and using stolen emails. But if he's voted down for lying abt sex there'd at least be a bit of appropriate symmetry there.

          To be clear: I'm discussing Kav's lies about what Devil's Triangle means. He claimed it was a drinking game, his peers suggest it involved a threesome. Yes, lies about sexual assault are worse.

          He should be disqualified for any and all of these. There’s a mountain of reasons he shouldn’t get the job that have nothing to do with his policy views (which are extreme).

          Most folks intuitively “get” a sex scandal. Understanding lying about dangerous judicial opinions, spying on citizens & giving torture the go-ahead not so much. That said Christine Blasey Ford is my hero for credibly making everyone who watched her feel the fear she felt & feels

          Ditto THAT policy of kidnap and torture will remain as our deamons until all responsible for it and it's implementation AT THE TOP LEVELS are held accountable. As with current WH and the kidnap torture imprisonment of children. Outraged at this and how it's continuing today.

          They can’t DQ him over these things because they bipartisanly love them! We already know nobody is willing to litigate the failings of theBush admin. Even dems wouldn’t have used the opportunity to do so. Thank god for the me too movement!

          I don't care what he's voted down for but that's immaterial bc he won't be. They are super entrenched and after Lindsey Graham and Kavanaugh's explosions of righteous indignation and Trump's approval of their outbursts this thing is over.

          & worse from righteous @JerryFalwellJr : "Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing “nice guys”. They might make great Christian leaders but the US needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps"

          Falwell continues "& many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!" I do agree that conservatives, espec far-right Christians should stop electing/annointing anyone --whimpy GOP OR bully boys. But calling everyone else (60%+) "liberal fascists Dems" (sic) must not stand.
