@JeffFlake

#TBT to this past Tuesday's version of @JeffFlake, who said, "It does no good to have an [FBI] investigation that just gives us more cover, for example. We actually need to find out what we can find out." Will he reappear tomorrow? on.mktw.net/2Rj9O8n

"[A] lot of new reporting has now emerged that starkly illustrates just how much about the new allegations was not investigated by the FBI [as a] result of restrictions the White House placed on the probe."

Former @YaleLawSch Dean Robert Post: Kavanaugh's installation into the Supreme Court is an "American tragedy" politi.co/2pGXFx3

https://twitter.com/kalhan/status/1048965961062260736?s=19

"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*.

https://twitter.com/adamliptak/status/1048666070289145857

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.

@adamliptak

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.

@JeffFlake

Self-serving talk is cheap. If @JeffFlake uses this nonsense to take cover he deserves all the ridicule that he will inevitably receive.

Judicial gaslighting.

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"
