This adds another layer to the multi-layered problems with the likely unlawful Whitaker appointment.

But it also highlights how embedded the Christian right--and Christian right ideology about law and politics--is rapidly becoming the express policy of the Trump administration.
Setting aside Whitaker's comment that he's a "New Testament" sort, the whole discussion recounted in this 2014 column is completely commonplace in the Christian right, specifically, that judges should decide cases from a "biblical" worldview, or according to biblical law.
This is, for example, the view of Roy Moore, who notoriously defied a court order to remove a 2-ton Ten Commandments monument from the courthouse, and tried to stop court clerks in Alabama from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

1. THREAD:

I've also been thinking all day about this piece in POLITICO, in which @SenFeinstein says Kavanaugh, during his time as a Ken Starr prosecutor, violated law protecting grand jury secrecy. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
2. Completely apart from the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh, this article raises serious questions about his continued service as a federal judge; in other words, if he did violate grand jury secrecy, or order one of his deputies to do so. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
3. Let's take a closer look at the POLITICO piece. It says that according to a memo from 1995, when Kavanaugh was working on the Ken Starr investigation, Kavanaugh was worried about a possible article by Chris Ruddy (now a CEO of Newsmax and close Trump friend).

"This is a travesty," Bauer says of Kavanaugh situation. "it's almost like political waterboarding." #VVS18
Bauer's mention of Cory Booker's name draws very loud boos.
Bauer says Kamala Harris "should be ashamed of herself," and again, mention of her name draws very loud boos. #VVS18

GOP closes in on @SenatorHeitkamp knockout — and control of the Senate politi.co/2IPfR0j via @politico
Heitkamp is down in public polls by a significant margin, and most political handicappers think Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) is the favorite to beat her. If she goes down, Democrats would basically have to run the table in every other battleground race to take the chamber.
Heitkamp needs to mount a dramatic comeback in order for Democrats to have any shot at taking the Senate. It’s a long shot in any case, but nearly impossible if she loses.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

GOP operative, @CheriJacobus who sued Trump says FBI referred hacking of her email to Mueller
politi.co/2IuDDP3 via @politico
Federal law enforcement officials have referred a two-year-old email hacking investigation to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to the Republican operative who was the target of the hack.
FBI agents in the bureau’s cyber division informed her earlier this month that they had forwarded their investigation to Mueller *because the matter came to exceed the bounds of computer intrusion*, the crime that had been the initial focus of the investigation.
