Politics Accusations Against Kavanaugh

You have taken the liberal bait and the hook is embedded into your spleen. They (whacko left) are saying that stuff because they also believe that Trump is going to get charged with a crime. It just isn't so. Brett Kavanaugh is a highly qualified justice with an impeccable record. That is why he was selected and why he will eventually be confirmed.

In the words of Don Henley, Get over it!

 

Very definitely partisanship on both sides for a very long time. This time, it's quite different. Making false sexual abuse allegations and putting this man's family through it is evil IMO. And I believe 100% that Ford is lying about a number of things. The Democrats don't care. They went all in to protect abortion rights which weren't threatened in the first place.

 

Wyden looks a lot like mr burns on the simpsons

 

Are you referring to his opinion on AFGE v Gates? If so, that is not a referendum on executive power, but rather his support in curtailing union representation for thousands of Department of Defense civil servants. Those are two different things.

Rather, in 2016, in a Harvard Law Review Article he wrote on the Chevron doctrine, you can see his thinking. The Chevron doctrine, according to the SC has said, unless Congress has spoken clearly on the subject of a regulation, the courts should defer to an agency’s decision as long as it is reasonable, even if the courts would have reached a different interpretation. Whenever a statute is ambiguous, the agency enjoys wide discretion. Anything that is not unreasonable lies in the zone of the permissible.

What does that mean? "As both an appellate judge and legal commentator, Mr. Kavanaugh has been critical of this decision. In a 2016 article in the Harvard Law Review, he states that Chrevron “has no basis in the Administrative Procedure Act” and represents “an atextual invention by courts.” In fact, he adds, the decision is “nothing more than a judicially orchestrated shift of power from Congress to the Executive Branch.”

Mr. Kavanaugh objects not only to the jurisprudence underlying the decision, but also to its consequences. “From my more than five years of experience in the White House,” he declares, “I can confidently claim that Chevron encourages the Executive Branch (whichever party controls it) to be extremely aggressive in seeking to squeeze its policy goals into ill-fitting statutory authorizations and restraints.”

Chevron, Kavanaugh says, is rooted in today’s partisan and legislative gridlock: “Presidents run for office on policy agendas and it is often difficult to get those agendas through Congress. So it is no surprise that presidents and agencies often will do whatever they can within existing statutes. And with Chevron in the mix, that inherent aggressiveness is amped up significantly.”

Because Kavanaugh sees this decision as a source of constitutional distortion, he is determined to limit its scope."

He's a constitutionalist jurist, not an activist.

 

"The legal team for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford on Wednesday shot down the Senate Judiciary Committee’s request to turn over evidence related to Ford’s therapy sessions and the polygraph test she took, saying that the FBI has not contacted them for an interview. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has already issued a response.

Earlier in the day, Ford attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks said the following in a letter to Grassley: “Regarding the documents you have requested in your letter of October 2, 2018, Dr. Ford is prepared to provide those documents to the FBI when is interviewed.”

Such bullshit and manipulation.

 

There is plenty of evidence of his judicial temperament and its been very appropriate. He was being personally attacked. He fought back. He had that right and I applaud him for it.

 

If he is such a constitutionalist then why does he think the constituion falls short in protecting sitting presidents from litigation other civilians may face? Sounds rather kingish to me. But it’s all good. Maybe it’s time for a King again.

 

Uh no, he proved he is a partisan hack that isn’t fit for the highest court in the land. He cried over calendars and a shit load of his friends from Yale are saying he lied under oath or misrepresented the facts. And 500 law professors wrote he should not be an SCJ. You can’t get 500 anything to agree on shit.

He will probably get confirmed but that says more about the sad sad state of this country than it does anything about this dude.

 

you hate everyone equally but always take the liberal point just because most on here are conservative.

You truly are bored because we are all wrong and you are right or are stirring the pot and don't really believe in anything. Just a hater.
