Oh, and by the way, Judge Kavanaugh is most likely the most knowledgeable Constitutionalist to come down the pike since the Founding Fathers enshrined those precious words that gave us the longest run of freedom in hundreds of years...maybe thousands!

I wrote to Elizabeth
Warren about Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and asking that she vote to confirm
him.
This is the buffalo bull crap she sent back to me!!! What kind of world is this delusional madwoman living in!

Dear Patricia,
Thank you for contacting
me about Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. I believe that
there were many reasons to oppose Justice Kavanaugh's nomination, including the
serious allegations of sexual assault by multiple women, his radical views and
his record as a judge, and the secretive and rushed process Republicans used to
advance his nomination. That's why I voted no on his nomination and urged all
of my colleagues to do the same.
Millions of Americans
watched Dr. Christine Blasey Ford tell her harrowing story of being sexually
assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. The courage she showed was remarkable, and her
testimony was credible and compelling. I believe her. And Dr. Ford wasn't
alone. Other women also described being sexually assaulted by Justice Kavanaugh
or seeing him engage in inappropriate sexual behavior. Despite these alarming
allegations, and Justice Kavanaugh's partisan, insulting, and disqualifying
testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senate Republicans voted to
put Justice Kavanaugh on the nation's highest court.
Justice Kavanaugh's
nomination was the latest step in a decades-long campaign by right-wing groups
and their billionaire backers to capture our courts. Over the last forty years,
as the rich have gotten richer and working families have struggled to make ends
meet, the scales of justice have been weighted further and further in favor of
the wealthy and the powerful.
Justice Kavanaugh has
furthered that tilt. Over the course of his career, he has voted to limit the
ability of women to make their own health care decisions, opposed a ruling
protecting women's access to birth control under the Affordable Care Act,
opposed rules designed to address climate change and protect the environment,
and ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the agency that has
returned $12 billion directly to people cheated by corporate lawbreakers - is
unconstitutional. Justice Kavanaugh also believes that sitting presidents
should not face personal civil suits or criminal investigations or prosecutions
while in office.
In addition to concerns
about the credible sexual assault allegations against Justice Kavanaugh and his
pro-corporate record, I was concerned about the process Republicans used to
rush his nomination through the Senate. Republicans refused to request hundreds
of thousands of documents from Justice Kavanaugh's time in government and
designated many others "committee confidential" to hide them from the
public. Then, days before Justice Kavanaugh was scheduled to come before the
Judiciary Committee, a Bush White House attorney announced that over 100,000
documents from Justice Kavanaugh's time in the White House Counsel's Office
would be withheld on the basis of "constitutional privilege." The
process was designed to keep Senators - and the American public, from having a
meaningful opportunity to examine Justice Kavanaugh's full record.
I believe that the
credible allegations of sexual assault, his record as a judge, and the broken
process Republicans used to advance his nomination should have disqualified
Justice Kavanaugh from a lifetime position on the nation's highest court, where
he will be making decisions that affect every person in this country for a
generation. I will continue to oppose judges who will not stand up for every
American and will fight for judges committed to equal justice under law.
I appreciate your
reaching out to me about this issue, and please do not hesitate to contact me
in the future about issues of importance to you.
Sincerely,
Signature
Elizabeth Warren
