.@VP Pence at Value Voters Summit today: “Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a man of integrity, with impeccable credentials and a proven judicial philosophy. On the District of Columbia court of appeals he wrote more than 300 opinions that reflect a strong record of support ...
2/ “... for limited government, religious liberty and our second amendment. He is a conservative who will interpret the constitution as written, and his record and career deserves the respect of every member of the Untied States Senate...
3/ @VP goes on to say “the way some Democrats have conducted themselves in this process is a disgrace, and a disservice to the Senate and the American people...
4/ “...That being said, the President and I are confident that Senate Republicans will manage this confirmation properly with the utmost respect for all concerned, & I believe that Judge Brett Kavanaugh will soon be Justice Brett Kavanaugh and take his seat on the Supreme Court“

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

Knowledgeable source tells me that White House forced out Pentagon Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney (ret.)
Official title was “Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense.”
Sweeney was going to leave within a couple months, having worked directly for Mattis, but WH forced him out before he wanted to leave, knowledgeable source says.

Retired four-star Admiral William McRaven, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014 (which included the OBL mission), just issued the following statement to CNN in response to POTUS attacking GEN McChrystal on twitter:

1/4
2/4
“Stan McChrystal is one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer I ever served with. He is a deep strategic thinker, tactically brilliant, with unparalleled personal courage. His leadership of special operations forces in Iraq and Afghanistan...
3/4
“... unquestionably saved the lives of thousands of American and allied troops, as well as countless civilians. No general I know has given more in the service of this country."

A most unsettling thing about Brett #Kavanaugh & His Amazing Secret Treasure Trove of Hidden Legal Work for the Incredible Unknowns is he's not only been adjudicating real world cases, there's a system in place that could be funneling his Secret Incredible Unknowns to his court.
If so, every contest that lands in his Court of Hidden Findings for Bretts Buddies is intended to reward his Secret Incredible Unknown Clients for a variety of reasons, not limited to financially punishing the Many Legal Suckers Destined to Lose by Brett, even if In The Right.
That there's a Judge Brett #Kavanaugh sitting as judge in U.S. Federal Court System, working on behalf of his secret clients, shielded by Bush, Obama, & Trump, all riding legislation from Clinton or before, says our government is corrupt, right in full view.

#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.

Brett #Kavanaugh doesn't have the integrity to be on SCOTUS. Kavanaugh committed AT LEAST 5 instances of perjury. This is judicial misconduct. Let me spell some of it out for you and tell you what YOU can do. #StopKavanaugh #PerjuryBrett

<THREAD>
1) In 2002 Manny Miranda stole thousands of documents belonging to Dems. Kavanaugh worked alongside Miranda. During a 2004 confirmation hearing Kavanaugh denied receiving any of the documents Miranda stole. In 2006 he lied again under oath. We now know he committed perjury.
2) At a 2006 confirmation hearing, Kavanaugh told @SenatorLeahy that he knew nothing of an illegal warrantless wiretapping program until the New York Times broke the story in 2005. Now we know he was lying. He committed perjury.

Kavanaugh refers to birth control pills as "abortion-inducing drugs" because, you know, science.

Apparently, Brett Kavanaugh believes life begins before conception.
All of the political dogma aside, Brett Kavanaugh appears to have lied under oath several times. We impeached a President for that.
I did the math, if birth control pills are "abortion-inducing drugs," this checks out. #Kavanaugh #KavanaughHearings

I hope the #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing is total chaos.
#Kavanaugh not sworn in and we're one hour into hearing. I am excited about the chaos that has transpired thus far and not sorry for feeling this way. I expect Kavanaugh will be confirmed. If the hearing is a shit how, then it won't be a total waste of time. #ExcitedNotSorry
#Kavanaugh leaves @fred_guttenberg hanging at confirmation hearing. #Parkland #GunReformNow

1. Judge Brett #Kavanaugh is on @realDonaldTrump's short list to replace Anthony Kennedy on #SCOTUS. In #HallvSebelius (2012), he issued a bizarre ruling that allowed exec agencies to usurp Congress' legislative powers & delayed desperately needed #Medicare reform. @CatoInstitute
@realDonaldTrump @CatoInstitute 2. I have a history with #HallvSebelius (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_v._S…). I published the @CatoInstitute study (object.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa601…) that caught Hall’s eye. I introduced him to the author, who became his attorney. I may have referred another plaintiff (a Cato board member), etc.
@realDonaldTrump @CatoInstitute 3. Background: SSA wrote an internal doc saying anyone who declines #Medicare forfeits all @SocialSecurity benefits & must return any already received. Fed law neither creates nor implies such a rule, neither authorizes nor implies SSA can create it, and SSA didn’t follow #APA.
