Former Yale Law School Dean: Kavanaugh's Confirmation Is An 'American Tragedy'
In Part,
"“He had apparently concluded that the only way he could rally Republican support was by painting himself as the victim of a political hit job,” Post said of Kavanaugh and the way the judge had attempted to defend himself from the accusations of sexual assault and harassment.
“He, therefore, offered a witches’ brew of vicious unfounded charges, alleging that Democratic members of the Senate Judicial Committee were pursuing a vendetta on behalf of the Clintons. If we expect judges to reach conclusions based solely on reliable evidence, Kavanaugh’s savage and bitter attack demonstrated exactly the opposite sensibility.”
It sounds like the same Republican rhetoric. Blame the Democrats for everything. Blame Clinton or Obama.
Kavanaugh has an outburst of stupidity right in front of the Senate Judicial Committee that shows just what kind of judge he might be, but it's the Democrats fault. It sounds to me like we will now have an "Alex Jones" type sitting on our highest court.
That's all we need is some far-right conspiracy theorists on the bench.
As far as the priests go, it shows a lot. It's a huge statement when the worlds largest church no longer wishes to back a president. The church always backs the Republicans. It always has. For the priests to stop backing a president, it's huge. That's millions of people that priests come in contact with.
In other words, the people of the church will follow whatever the priest says. This is a big deal for Republicans. We are talking millions of votes here. Trump just threw them away. A very stupid move.
