Except for the all the claims of alleged dishonest or inaccurate testimony have been taken apart by @DavidLat. But other than that . . .

False. Lat dismantled claims that this rises to the level of criminal perjury. But not dishonesty. Kavanaugh told precisely the same lie abt Stellar Wind Alberto Gonzales did. Precisely the same. Is it chargeable? No. Was it a lie? Absolutely.

And it is absolutely the case that the Republican rush and the rank incompetence of the Admin made this worse. He'll be confirmed, probably, but he'll be tainted forever. Rightly.

Incorrect. They didn't even prove he was dishonest.https://twitter.com/DavidLat/status/1037928041555656705 …

LOL. If that's true, he's too stupid to be SCOTUS. You choose.

A memo's drafted by a D, marked "CONFIDENTIAL". A D staffer gets a copy in normal course; zero illicit. Staffer shares it w/ sm1. W/ an R staffer? Maybe not; or maybe. Maybe w/ a friend at a think tank or a lobbyist… who shares it w/ sm1 else. Then yadda-yadda… it's at the WH.

I can agree that Kavanaugh was too stupid to figure it out in real time. But not the 2006 questions. At that point, he owed an explanation.

Some fair points. But it's odd to think Kavanaugh hadn't reviewed the docs that were marked "Committee Confidential". I think WH insisted so many docs be labeled CC, then make them subject to "clearance" by request, was so they'd get a btr idea of when an attack on X would come.
-
And w/ all the experience Kavanaugh has w/ confirmations, he'd have to figure (& Ds had hinted at this) that Ds wd ask Qs based on the CC docs regardless. IOW, it seems waaay implausible (b/c wld've been stupid) that he'd have relied on Dems doing everything according to Hoyle.

Honest question -- I'm struggling to see how
@imillhiser point matters... what are the chances the "ambush" keeps him from confirmation?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
