This press release is practically begging for people to highlight and emphasize Kavanuagh's own repeated and obvious lies even more. #Kavanocchio 🤥

Former @YaleLawSch Dean Robert Post: Kavanaugh's installation into the Supreme Court is an "American tragedy" politi.co/2pGXFx3
"With calculation and skill, Kavanaugh stoked the fires of partisan rage and male entitlement."
"If we expect judges to reach conclusions based solely on reliable evidence, Kavanaugh’s savage and bitter attack demonstrated exactly the opposite sensibility."

This article loses its nerve right from its headline: this debacle is not just a blow to the Supreme Court's "image," but to its *legitimacy*.
A 5-4 right-wing majority—installed mostly by minority popular vote presidents, in the face of solid progressive majorities throttled using illegitimate means—does not "perfectly reflect" anything. To the contrary, it is a starkly imperfect reflection of where we are politically.
Partial credit to @adamliptak for this shade at the end of the piece, but it's far too mild in relation to the actual scale of the Court's legitimacy crisis.

Self-serving talk is cheap. If @JeffFlake uses this nonsense to take cover he deserves all the ridicule that he will inevitably receive.
To quote Brett Kavanaugh himself, “I understand the passions of the moment, but ... your words have meaning.”

Pleased to join so many colleagues in signing this letter.
"We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh. But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that [he] did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court"
Over 900 signatories and counting, from over 150 law schools, as of this morning. lawprofessor.net

He launched into partisan, rage-filled, and wholly injudicious display of elite entitlement. Is that something you would do if you were a sitting federal judge, @JeffFlake?
He rudely interrupted and talked over your Senate colleagues. Is that something you would do, @JeffFlake?
He has repeatedly told obvious lies, about matters big and small—and has done so under oath before your very eyes. Do you casually lie like that, @JeffFlake? washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
