Brett Kavanaugh is a judge on the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit & on @realDonaldTrump’s pre-approved list, having passed the “litmus test” on overturning Roe v. Wade & striking down protections for ppl w/ pre-ex conditions in the ACA. Here’s #WhatsAtStake if he’s confirmed:
Kavanaugh argued that the D.C. Circuit should consider a claim that the ACA was unconstitutional. Several of his fellow judges described Kavanaugh’s argument as a “flawed” “misread” of #SCOTUS precedent. #WhatsAtStake scotusblog.com/wp-content/upl…
Brett Kavanaugh would have helped the Trump administration keep a young girl in federal custody to prevent her obtaining constitutionally protected health care. #WhatsAtStake cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…
Kavanaugh has taken numerous positions that question his ability to be an indep. check on @POTUS, saying investigations of presidents should be deferred while in office & a president needn’t obey it when he “deems the law unconstitutional.” #WhatsAtStake minnesotalawreview.org/wp-content/upl…
Kavanaugh frequently sides with powerful interests rather than defending the rights of all Americans like when he argued that the FCC’s #NetNeutrality rule benefiting millions of consumers was unconstitutional. chamberlitigation.com/sites/default/…
Instead of picking a #SCOTUS nominee off a list pre-approved by powerful special interests, @realDonaldTrump should instead consult with @SenateDems & @SenateGOP to find a consensus, mainstream & independent nominee. #WhatsAtStake afj.org/wp-content/upl…
