Ayer fue confirmado como juez del Tribunal Supremo, en una votación de 50-48, el agresor sexual Brett Kavanaugh. Esta confirmación se da a pesar de los testimonios de dos sobrevivientes, Christine Blassey Ford y Julia Swetnick.
[...] sobre la reiterada conducta de abuso del alcohol y abuso sexual de Kavanaugh. Su confirmación nos da rabia pero no nos sorprende.
Reconocemos la valentía de la doctora Ford y de Swetnick, también la de todas las mujeres que pusieron sus cuerpos en la línea para protestar por la confirmación de este agresor sexual.
[THREAD] Kavanaugh’s confirmation today is just 1 part of Republicans’ decades-long campaign to subvert our democracy. They put their relentless pursuit of a Supreme Court controlled by radical right-wingers ahead of brave women who have told their stories. #KavanaughConfirmation
By taking extreme personal risk, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford & sexual assault survivors galvanized this process. Disturbing and credible allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were brought to light by several courageous women. None of it mattered to Republicans. #KavanaughConfirmation
Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath. He should be disbarred and investigated, not elevated to the Supreme Court. He has the lowest approval rating of a SCOTUS nominee since Robert Bork.

1/ We’ve spent months on the front lines fighting this nomination. From mobilizing for rallies, sharing stories of survival & making thousands on thousands of calls to senators—including 15,000 @HRC members today.
We’ve left nothing on the field in the fight to #StopKavanaugh.
We’ve left nothing on the field in the fight to #StopKavanaugh.
2/ And we have done that because the stakes of this nomination—for LGBTQ people, for women, for people of color, for survivors of sexual assault—could not be any higher. Across the country, we have turned out to say we #BelieveSurvivors and we must #StopKavanaugh.
3/ Unfortunately @SenatorCollins, @Sen_JoeManchin and others in the U.S. Senate made clear today that they will nevertheless back this dangerous, unqualified nominee. This is a slap in the face to Americans everywhere. #StopKavanaugh
There is no way to sugarcoat how bad things just got, and if there was, we shouldn't. This is a loss that will haunt this nation for decades.

Dozens of potential witnesses to Kavanaugh’s behavior were ignored by the FBI. Dr. Ford was not interviewed, nor was Kavanaugh himself. Corroborating witnesses for additional accusers were not interviewed.
The FBI investigation was a sham.

🔥🔥Yes, Brett Kavanaugh. The judge cited twice=Gorsuch. Is this a coincidence?
▶️One of the 4 reasons Concord's lawyers moved to dismiss was that they claimed Concord had no knowledge that the crime they were committing was actually a crime. Kavanaugh supported this theory.

If you want to live in a nation that is "led" by a man who would mock someone who was the victim of a violent sexual assault then we are very different people.
Trump's behavior today was that of a playground bully. They were the words that a bully utters and then laughs.

The bully imagines, and may even hear, the world laughing with him, but the chuckles are only from his hangers-on and those hoping to impress the bully.
The rest of the world only turns its head to look away. They hope that someone, anyone, will intervene.

This weekend, the GOP was caught trying to limit the scope of the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh to 4 people; it did not include Kav or his accuser Dr. Ford, and did not allow them to pursue leads.

That anyone ever fell for that ridiculous lie is beyond disgraceful.
Even if Clinton were guilty of the types of corruption they claimed she was she would still not be comparable in this way to Donald Trump.
Not even close.
But she's clearly not.

Hidden motive behind Republican attempts to fast-track #Kavanaugh:
“Under the doctrine of separate sovereigns, federal & state govt are considered to be "separate sovereigns", so Double Jeopardy Clause does not apply to prosecution of the same crime by both fed and state courts”

That interaction @JeffFlake had with Maria and I was significant, but it was only significant because thousands of people had come forward to tell their stories and take risks for this country. #StopKavanaugh #ElevatorWomen /3
If there is one thing you take away from yesterday’s hearing, it’s this: Brett Kavanaugh is no Supreme Court Justice. #StopKavanaugh
While the fact that Trump only nominated Kavanaugh because he would gut Roe v. Wade was enough to disqualify Kavanaugh, yesterday further proved he is unfit to be a Supreme Court justice.
While the fact that Kavanaugh has already blocked access to abortion & birth control and would threaten access to affordable care was enough to disqualify Kavanaugh, yesterday further proved he is unfit to be a Supreme Court justice.
JFC. This is disgusting. A sitting member of congress is publicly demeaning a sexual assault victim who was brave enough to give testimony in front of the whole world yesterday. No one has disputed that Dr. Ford was assaulted. NO ONE.
Fuck you, @LindseyGrahamSC. #StopKavanaugh

Now, despite the fact that she was raped repeatedly and forced to return to her abuser by a man who also killed her cousin, her case is substantially weaker.

.@NARAL's been compiling just a few of the times Brett Kavanaugh has lied. Before the hearing tomorrow, where folks will surely be questioning Christine Blasey Ford's credibility, I thought I'd reup just few of Kavanaugh's lies here. Here goes:
During Kav's 2004 hearing, Kennedy asked him about his work on the nomination of anti-choice judge William Pryor. He responded, “I am familiar generally w Mr. Pryor but that was not one that I worked on personally.” Yet emails show that's false—Kav helped select & interview Pryor
2006: told Leahy that he wasn't involved in Bush’s wiretapping program & didn't know of its existence until it was publicly reported by NYT '05. Yet a now-public '01 email Kav wrote asked about the 4A implications of this:
