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.

One thing we can rely upon: the NYT can be trusted to deliver utter hogwash on a daily basis.

In a more virtuous world, the editors of the New York Times would be ashamed to come to work.

The coordinated attack against the Pp resident and those who voted for him is intensifying. They are throwing everything they can concoct against him hoping to wear him down, but more importantly wear us down. It’s not going to happen. We can’t let it.

NYT using headlines like “Confirmed” is just liberal stupidity on display.

Then what is such a man doing on the D.C. circuit court, ruling on cases for the past 20 years and the New York Times has not exposed him?

Better re hear all those cases he must have presided over in a secret court room, and have issued secret written rulings on? I mean the Times has a duty!

I pray that we not only keep the house but substantially increase it and the senate and then ruth buzzard croaks just to rub their faces in it at volume 11

Can’t Be Trusted in NY Slimes-speak means: "He can trusted to use the Constitution as his judgical guide", which disqualifies him to the Communists.

I was amazed how he recited laws and actual cases with very few notes. Smart man.

Dear NYT,

You have to confirm the Candidate to see how he will turn out.

It’s the Demoncratic Way....

While I don’t trust Kavenaugh completely, I would trust him most times on most things. 99% of what the NYT prints, I do not trust. I’m ok with their recipes and sports scores and that is about it.
