Jimmy Carter: Kavanaugh is 'unfit' to be a Supreme Court justice

Former President Jimmy Carter harshly criticized newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, calling him "unfit" to serve on the court.

Speaking to a class at Emory University in Atlanta on Wednesday, Carter said that Kavanaugh's behavior during his confirmation hearings demonstrated that his appointment was "a very serious mistake," according to Emory's independent, student-run newspaper, The Emory Wheel.

"Whether or not [Kavanaugh] attempted to rape [Christine Blasey Ford], I thought he was temperamentally unfit to serve on the Supreme Court because of his outburst during the hearing," Carter said, according to video taken by a student during his remarks. "I saw him lose his cool."

He’s still bitter and angry over his 1980 defeat. He’s an unrepentant, unapologetic, anti-American marxist.

He acted completely unemotional and judicially detached in the official hearings... and Dianne Feinstein tried to destroy him for it.

LOL, this is the same President that warned the world that all the oil will be gone in 10 years. (I think it was up around 59 cents a gallon about that time.)

Clarke’s Commentary on Hosea 8 :7

“They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind - As the husbandman reaps the same kind of grain which he has sown, but in far greater abundance, thirty, sixty, or one hundred fold; so he who sows the wind shall have a whirlwind to reap. The vental seed shall be multiplied into a tempest so they who sow the seed of unrighteousness shall reap a harvest of judgment.”

I’ve read this Jimmy Carter fellow likes the Bible.

when he jacked up those senators that were trying to frame him, it was a circus

That's absolutely right. He has shown unflappable judicial temperament throughout his decades in the court where he would have control over what was going on. Dems in that hearing situation were entirely responsible for the chaos.

When those clown Senators used the 11th hour to purposely and falsely smeared Kavanaugh, accusing him of gang rape, Kavanaugh should rightly have been seen, no longer as a judge, but a victim in mid-assault.

Then, as the Constitution was being thrown out the window by the Dems in the midst of a "advise and consent" hearing, with all presumption of innocence orchestrated also being thrown out the window, anyone should be able to see the extraordinary, non-judicial circumstances being hurled Kavanaugh's way.

To berate Kavanaugh's temperament while his reputation was being lied about and unfairly placed on the chopping block for purposeful destruction, is far beyond the pale. All of America had reason to rise up and stamp its collective feet in disgust at what the Dems were doing.

Ford was not merely confused, having been assaulted-by-someone else long, long ago (credible rumor has it, many, many someone elses), she provably attacked Kavanaugh by lying in several ways. She was no innocent. She spent significant time crafting that story, probably with that SDNY FBI spokeswoman that had worked with Schumer at one time and who was also Ford's long-time friend.

Her CIA connections show the entire chapter to have been an attempted hit by the Deep State (as does the GoFundMe pay-off that she had to do nothing to see bring many hundreds of thousands of dollars to her doorsteps, win or loose).

They pretend that the judicial committee Democrats weren’t all participants in a huge smear campaign against Kavenaugh. He would have been wrong NOT to call them out. Gang rapes, drugged cocktails, and ridiculous non-corobboration@!! They should be in jail. An ass chewing is pretty mild.

I doubt if Carter could be elected today. I can’t imagine why he thinks his opinion matters to anyone.

Clearly, the liberal talking points just found their way into Jimmy's inbox...
