NEW via @GregStohr: 10th Circuit Judicial Council dismisses complaints that Kavanaugh lied to Senate since Kavanaugh is "no longer a covered" by federal judicial-conduct law now that he's on SCOTUS – which is what Roberts intended when he sat on the complaints for weeks.
#Maddow
Federal judges reviewing the complaints lodged against Kavanaugh say the allegations are "serious" but that they must dismiss them because he was confirmed to SCOTUS.

"If things go the way Trump plans...he will be the first big-time developer since Stalin to attach his name to high-rise towers in Moscow." -@MoscowTimes, 1996

Amazing how each of Trump's presidential runs [1988, 2000, 2016] coincided with a proposed Trump Tower Moscow project.

Trump is still talking today about declaring a phony national emergency to fund his border wall, which would take billions of dollars away from our troops and defense priorities AND violate the Constitution.

Feckin' eejit.
Per @BillKristol: Trump declaring a phony national emergency to fund his border wall could provoke a constitutional crisis that would lead to resignations of civilian & military senior officials, if Trump sought to use the military illegally...👇

#SCOTUS set one case, first argued Oct. 3, for reargument now that Justice Kavanaugh has joined the court, and granted six new cases (2 of which are consolidated).
The consolidated cases are a pair of cases about a 40-foot tall, 93-year-old cross in Maryland. scotusblog.com/case-files/cas…
#SCOTUS also will review a capital case about the relevance of past racial discrimination from the prosecutor in the case. scotusblog.com/case-files/cas…

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.

NEW: Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to #SCOTUS, but the ethics complaints filed against him haven't gone away — per letter just made public, Chief Justice John Roberts is transferring them to the 10th Circuit buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
What happens now? Judicial ethics experts have said they expect the complaints against Kavanaugh ultimately to be dismissed — the misconduct review process that applies to lower court judges doesn't cover justices, and #SCOTUS doesn't have its own system buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Notably, the 10th Circuit is where Roberts sent an ethics complaint against former DC federal district chief judge Richard Roberts, re: decades-old allegation pre-dating his time as a judge that he sexually abused a teenage witness in a case he prosecuted buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

By raging he's being framed by a Clinton revenge plot conspiracy, Kavanaugh echoed Trump propagandists discrediting Mueller & Russia probe. That in itself is disqualifying from sitting on the Supreme Court. It also proves he won't be an impartial arbiter on those & other matters.
Forget the alleged sexual assault & lies for a moment. Kavanaugh's partisan rant about a left-wing smear conspiracy is so off-the-rails improper for someone whose job is literally to DISPASSIONATELY & fairly interpret facts & law before him. And he wants a promotion to SCOTUS??
Maybe #Kavanaugh's not a conspiracy theorist. But he is consciously echoing Trump. He altered strategy from choir-boy Fox interview b/c Trump didn't like it. Kav's already bending to the executive who named him, like the political operative he is at heart. And will be on SCOTUS.

The proposed changes include new sections expanding definitions of misconduct, and making clear that if a judge sees what is clearly misconduct and doesn't report it, that is itself misconduct
The Judicial Conference's meeting is not open to the public. DC Circuit Chief Judge Merrick Garland, as chair of the conference's Executive Committee, briefed reporters after today's meeting. He said the judges heard from AG Sessions and Reps. Goodlatte, Issa, and Johnson
