For those questioning whether Ed Whelan may not be acting in good faith in his current role, here's my own unrelated interaction with him. The “Whelan Way:” Ed Whelan’s Bad Faith and Nasty Attack on My Book on Justice Scalia’s Legacy" https://electionlawblog.org/?p=98592

Ed Whelan’s trial balloon burst this morning (for which he still faces a serious potential tort case for defamation) and his (faux?) contrition is very satisfying for those of us who have long argued that Ed does not operate in good faith.https://twitter.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1043117304152817664 …

I hope people remember this when considering including Ed in symposia and events where people with diverse views come together for reasoned discussion. Appropriate that the first response to his pseudo-apology is from Louise Menschpic.twitter.com/X0CgnhRHJv

And let’s not miss for a second that Ed is *only* apologizing for *naming* the classmate, and not for raising a false claim based on no credible evidence in order to undermine the testimony of Dr. Ford for purely political reasons.

He did not even give the poor guy a chance to deny the false charges. A breach of basic journalistic ethics (ed writes for

And for those journalists writing about Ed’s “apology,” you should note he did not apologize for falsely accusing another man of attempted rape, only for naming him. Still accomplishing his purpose to try to buck up nomination with unsupported mistaken identity theory

Ed tweeted on Tuesday that he had exonerating information coming and that people should stay tuned. A Senate staffer later says that people should watch Ed's account, and you take that as evidence of a Senate -- White House conspiracy? Do you see the irony here?

Right, and also: How would Whelan know enough about Kavanaugh's social circles in high school to have come up with Garrett on his own? Seems like at some point Kavanaugh himself would have to have suggested this.

To me, this fabrication is an admission that he did it. Nobody innocent would do this.

You admit you have a bone to pick with
@EdWhelanEPPC and all your criticisms of his “theory” are political. Why not make your case against the substance of his theory?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Maybe it was really planned by Kavanaugh's OTHER doppelganger.

I’m curious as to how he knew the identity and address of the fourth female guest. Has not been publicly disclosed
