As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I promise you Justice Kavanaugh will not be impeached over these scurrilous accusations.

cbsnews.com/news/brett-kav…
What have we learned the last few days?

* The @nytimes writes first, verifies later.

* Republicans are presumed to be “guilty.”

* Democratic presidential candidates are willing to ruin Justice Kavanaugh’s life for political gain.

All very sad.
@nytimes The latest attacks leveled against Brett Kavanaugh are beyond the pale.

My heart goes out to Justice Kavanaugh’s family for being forced to endure this ridiculous treatment once again.

I hope President Trump is right in his belief that Turkeys invasion of Syria is of no concern to us, abandoning the Kurds won’t come back to haunt us, ISIS won’t reemerge, and Iran will not fill the vacuum created by this decision.
However, I firmly believe that if President Trump continues to make such statements this will be a disaster worse than President Obama’s decision to leave Iraq.
I worry we will not have allies in the future against radical Islam, ISIS will reemerge, & Iran’s rise in Syria will become a nightmare for Israel.

I fear this is a complete and utter national security disaster in the making and I hope President Trump will adjust his thinking.

I was part of a phone call yesterday between President Erdogan and President Trump where President Trump received a commitment from the President of Turkey to stay away from the Kobani area to prevent further escalation in Syria.
If Turkey continues to move and take Kurdish areas around Kobani, I will take this as a breach of President Erdogan’s promise and a major escalation.
I am certain Congress and the Administration will hold Erdogan personally responsible for any atrocities committed in and around Kobani.

My advice to Turkey is stop before you completely destroy the relationship between the United States and Turkey.

To those who believe radical Islam is not a threat to our homeland after 9/11 and the rise of ISIS: you are sadly mistaken and ignoring all military advice.
Our southern border should be our LAST line of defense against radical Islam.

Our FIRST line of defense is the U.S. military working with partners in radical Islam’s backyard keeping them over there so they can’t hurt us here at home or hurt our allies like Israel.
This is the exact thinking of the previous Administration — leave them alone and let others do our work. It led to the rise of ISIS!

Didn’t work then. Won’t work now.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

Ds must demand all emails to or from #Kavanaugh that were kept on Smartech's server! When Congress investigated the Bush WH's firing of 8 US attorneys, it learned the Bush admin. had used Smartech for its emails & deleted 22 MILLION of them. They were retrieved in 09. 1/
Here is a Snopes article re: the deleted and then retrieved 22 MILLION emails from the Bush administration. These deleted emails were not retrieved until 2009 and have never seen the light of day. 2/ snopes.com/fact-check/g-w…
3/ Per Craig Unger (editor Vanity Fair, author "Boss Rove"), the millions of missing emails were on RNC servers owned by Smartech: "Rove and more than EIGHTY OTHER WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS had their emails hosted on ... [the] SmarTech servers." harpers.org/blog/2012/09/_…

In 09, Judge #Kavanaugh helped stop criminal investigation of Rep. Feeney (former Jeb Bush running mate), who took an illegal all-expenses-paid trip w/ lobbyist Jack Abramoff & who was accused of asking someone to design a vote-flipping program in 2000. 1/ jurist.org/news/2009/07/d…
2/ Source: Feeney covered up true cost of abramoff junket. thinkprogress.org/feeney-covered…

GOP wants a vote on #Kavanaugh for #SCOTUS before documents are released. Many asking #WhatAreTheyHiding?

He was with G.W. Bush, 2000-2006.

Thought someone should do a thread of all controversies during that time that they might be hiding. Continued⤵

This thread ended up being longer than I anticipated, turns out the George W. Bush admin had more than a few controversies—I expect I missed a few things.

If you notice something big I missed, comment with reputable news article, and I’ll quote tweet your comment onto the thread
The 2000 FL Vote recount (Florida law required recount for a razor close election, Bush legal team argued to end it, eventually successfully before the #SCOTUS … he was on the Bush legal team).
