.@SenAngusKing on SCOTUS nom Kavanaugh: "I'm going to learn everything that i can but the fact that he came off of a list given to the president with an outside group, that starts me in a negative direction."
.@SenAngusKing: "He has opinions that suggested, not outright, but suggested reluctance or skepticism of Roe vs. Wade."
.@SenAngusKing: "And he said that regulating net neutrality was probably unconstitutional. He is talking about the free speech rights of Comcast as opposed to millions of Americans that want a free and open internet."

Trump to Fox, Aug. 22: "One of the reasons I respect Paul Manafort so much is he went through that trial -- you know they make up stories. People make up stories. This whole thing about flipping, they call it, I know all about flipping."
Trump on Aug. 22: "For 30, 40 years I've been watching flippers. Everything's wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they -- they flip on whoever the next highest one is, or as high as you can go."
Trump on Aug. 22: "It -- it almost ought to be outlawed. It's not fair."

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

Ok, let’s talk about this whole Brett Kavanaugh thing, shall we? #Kavanaugh
For the most part, I stay away from making sweeping generalizations about nominees for courts. I’m biased. While I oppose them regularly, I don’t think most Conservative judges are bad people. It’s ideological differences.
For instance- I don’t agree with John Roberts on Citizens United, guns, executive power, abortion, etc. I think he’s not some evil, lying POS. #Kavanaugh

THREAD from #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing Day1. Day2 begins. GOP chair Grassley said yesterday’s protesters plotted w/ Democrats to disrupt hearing. “Today is different,” he said. Protests continued. One said: “I’m offended; I called out Durbin. I didn’t coorindate w/Democrats”
Feinstein starts questions on gun regulation & “common use.” She said she never thought she’d see children mowed down in schools. #Kavanaugh: “It’s all about precedent. If a type of firearm is widely owned like assault weapons, then it’s unconstitutional to ban them under Heller”
Feinstein asks about Roe: I don’t want to go back to those numbers [women dying in back alley abortions]. #Kavanaugh: I don’t live in a bubble. I understand its importance. As a judge, Roe & Casey are long-standing Supreme Court precedent. (Implying it should stand, it seems.)

Wow, this interaction says all you need to know abt Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh is so embroiled in toxic GOP politics that as a nominee for the Supreme Court Judge Kavanaugh is unwilling to even shake the hand of the father of a victim of gun violence, regardless of his politics.
They say a picture is worth 1000 words, well this picture of Brett Kavanaugh refusing to shake the hand of Ferd Guttenberg should be worth a lifetime appointment.
This ⚖TREAD about the degradation of the judicial confirmation process many be useful to many of you as you seek to understand the process of how judges end up on #SCOTUS. Bett Kavanaugh is now going through a truncated process. Please share if useful.

This bodes very poorly for any decision that Kavanaugh might make to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable.
It’s also confounding that the common thread thus far in the cases Kavanaugh is willing to openly criticize is their relation to presidential power & accountability.
But because he has demonstrated a willingness to express his views on existing #SCOTUS precedents, Kavanaugh must be able to answer direct questions on stare decisis on many other matters, including #RoevWade and healthcare.
