Like former McCain adviser @SteveSchmidtSES, I have a hard time believing Ed Whelan when he says he didn’t coordinate his crackpot “doppelganger” theory with #Kavanaugh, the @WhiteHouse, and @SenateGOP.
Whelan has long been at the center of the @FedSoc’s secretive & powerful inner circle. He’s close friends with #Kavanaugh & has been scheming with Leonard Leo about how to salvage this fast-sinking nomination.

They’ve all been pushing the insulting theory that Dr. Ford was just “mixed up,” and Whelan somehow got Ford’s name before it was ever published. washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/…

Any ACCUSATION of sexual assault needs to be taken seriously, by investigating BOTH the ACCUSED and the ACCUSER. Through research and compiling evidence, we are often able to paint a more clear picture of what happened. #kavanaugh

The #SupremeCourt gives too many indications of having been captured by the far right. In case after case, the five #Republican-appointed justices band together with no Democratic appointee, and over 90 percent of the time deliver huge wins for Republican and corporate interests
That pattern leaves Americans to wonder which of their rights, freedoms, and protections the Roberts Court may sign away next.
During his hearings, #Kavanaugh could have pledged to help buck that trend, and reassured those with pre-existing conditions, women, consumers, workers, vulnerable communities, or victims of pollution.

Rights violated by #SupremeCourt judge Pablo #LIarena over the past 9 months:

💥 1. Cuixart and Sànchez should have been processed by ordinary courts in Barcelona as they are civilians, not politicians

I’m spending a lot of time reviewing Judge Kavanaugh’s rulings to see if he has the temperament and wisdom—and whether he has shown the independence needed of our next #SupremeCourt Justice. Very disappointed by what I’m seeing:
He disagreed with, and wrote a dissent against, a court ruling that the punishment for entering this country illegally cannot be “forcing a child to have a baby”
His opinion would have allowed the government to use delay tactics to prevent women and girls from controlling what happens to their own body. Or, in other words, he drafted a (losing) legal argument that would have forced a child to have a baby acludc.org/sites/default/…

The stakes for this #SupremeCourt nomination could not be any higher. Whoever replaces Justice Kennedy will play a critical role in the lives of workers, Americans with pre-existing conditions & all Americans for generations to come #WhatsAtStake
If #RoevWade is overturned, the protections it provides to women who use assistive reproductive technologies like IVF to start and grow their families--women like me--could disappear #WhatsAtStake
We cannot allow President Trump to pursue his goal of, in his own words, overturning #RoevWade. We need to make sure that the next #SCOTUS Justice will protect the Constitutional rights of all women & protect the ability of families like mine to have children

Judge #Kavanaugh has been on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for over 10 years. He's a member of the Federalist Society. (@FedSoc) (yikes!)
Let's take a look at his record! 🧐 #WhatsAtStake #SaveSCOTUS

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4314: Donald Trump, The Supreme Court, Abortion, and Punishment - #Nonverbal & #EmotionalIntelligence#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #AbortionRights #Abortion #Punishment #SupremeCourt #RoevWade
1/ In the light of Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy's announcement of his retirement from the Supreme Court, the interview included here is profoundly important. In March 2016, Chris Matthews spoke with then-candidate Trump in a town hall type setting.
2/ One of the questions Mr. Matthews pressed Mr. Trump on was that of abortion - and specifically, because Trump believes abortions should be illegal - what was his view on the issue of punishment for women who undergo abortions?

Unknown author - if you can help give credit, please do:
Justice Kennedy was not planning to resign next term. We know, because he had already appointed his clerks for that term. He suddenly resigned BECAUSE his son, worked for Deutsche Bank... /1
...indicted in the EU for being a conduit for money laundering for Russian Oligarchs. He resigned because his son's client - had been Donald Trump, for whom, he had arranged up to $1 billion in Deutsche Bank "loans." These funds likely, were monies originating from... /2
...Russian oligarchs connected to Putin - being laundered through the bank, with the knowledge of #Kennedy's son. In other words - Kennedy's son could be esnared in the #Mueller investigation - perhaps, vulnerable to indictment himself. In this eventuality, you can be certain- /3

The Trump travel ban is a gross violation of our American values, and the Supreme Court's ruling along partisan lines does nothing to change that.

This bigoted policy is a thinly veiled attempt to govern by hate and continue the federal government's assault on immigrants.
Just because the Supreme Court says it is legal does not mean it is right.

In New York, we believe our diversity is our greatest strength. We will continue to uphold the values embodied by the Lady in our Harbor and welcome all who seek to become a part of the New York family.
My full statement on the shameful #SupremeCourt decision:

The #SupremeCourt has rejected Pimlico Plumbers' appeal. Significant #gigeconomy case on whether person is a 'worker' (entitled to holiday, discrim protection, etc) or a mere contractor (entitled only to the terms of their contract). supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-201… #ukemplaw (1/10)
Having said it’s significant, there’s not an awful lot of new law in there. It’s largely significant because this is (I think?) the first time in the recent spate of gig economy cases that the Supreme Court has got involved. (2/10)
There is, however, one nugget of note. There seems to now be a ‘dominant feature’ test when considering whether someone is a ‘worker’. (3/10)

BREAKING NEWS: The @UKSupremeCourt has ruled the time is #NowForNI: Northern Ireland abortion ban breaches UK human rights law & UK Parliament must act #NowForNI humanism.org.uk/?p=65504
We intervened in the case, offering expert philosophical evidence at the intersection of human rights, medical ethics, and the law, helping the @UKSupremeCourt reach today’s historic conclusion. #NowForNI humanism.org.uk/?p=65504
Specifically, this judgment finds that Northern Ireland breaches women’s Article 8 rights in respect of the ban on abortion in the cases of fatal foetal abnormality, rape, and incest. #NowForNI
