Confirmed: Brett Kavanaugh Can’t Be Trusted
The New York Times ^ | September 7, 2018 | The Editorial Board

Posted on 09/08/2018 7:41:34 AM PDT by Trump20162020

In a more virtuous world, Judge Brett Kavanaugh would be deeply embarrassed by the manner in which he has arrived at the doorstep of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

He was nominated by a president who undermines daily the nation’s democratic order and mocks the constitutional values that Judge Kavanaugh purports to hold dear.

Now he’s being rammed through his confirmation process with an unprecedented degree of secrecy and partisan maneuvering by Republican senators who, despite their overflowing praise for his legal acumen and sterling credentials, appear terrified for the American people to find out much of anything about him beyond his penchant for coaching girls’ basketball.

Perhaps most concerning, Judge Kavanaugh seems to have trouble remembering certain important facts about his years of service to Republican administrations. More than once this week, he testified in a way that appeared to directly contradict evidence in the record.

That Jesuit background turned a gut felt yellow flag into a red one. I’ve learned to trust my gut, and learned it the hard way.

As a Catholic, there should be a firm resolve to a pro-life stance. He calls Roe v wade settled law, yet other things he can’t comment on till he hears the case. He seems too slippery to trust. There may be better candidates.

The writing style of the editorial board of the NYT reminds me of how North Korean news agency writes. Similar style, but not quite so blatant.

When I saw the title of the article I was immediately concerned... and then I saw it was from the New York Slimes... and I immediately felt better.

I think my grandfather would have cancelled his NYT subscription by now if he was still alive. I’m surprised he was still reading it in the early 2000’s.

‘Where’s the lightning? The fire and brimstone?’

if there’s no fire and brimstone over the sixty million children murdered by the abortion industry, what makes you think it’s coming over a mere editorial...?

“He was nominated by a president who undermines daily the nation’s democratic order and mocks the constitutional values that Judge Kavanaugh purports to hold dear. “

No need to read any further than that. With those words, the editorial board of Pravda on the Hudson codemns themselves as certifiably insane.

This is like an endorsement to me. The left is so far off the rails it is a safe bet to go the opposite direction.

My favorite biblical teacher Chuck Missler has once pointed out that whenever you have item you cant solve in the Bible, a lot of times you would see the Pharisees making a big fuss about it that would give more insight into the subject.

So in a inverse way, the Pharisees making a fuss about something almost automatically meant that Jesus was doing something good that really provoked them!

Today's daily diatribe and slop from the NY Slimes is the same wicked spirits operating through them! They are the mirror of anti-truth in todays society - i.e. almost everything they endorsed should be severely scrutinized as it reeks of evil, corruption & death!

They howl, scream, protest, rant, rave and make up an endless list of lies about this goodly judge as they fear most of all that their bloody altar of Abortions is about to be overturned soon.
