Hair
on Fire: Who is THE REAL BRETT
KAVANAUGH? Kavanaugh is NOT a mainstream
jurist.
By Carla Feinkind
He
has written that sitting Presidents should not be distracted from their duties
by potential criminal investigations nor be subpoenaed as Nixon was. He thinks Presidents should have absolute
discretion over whether to appoint an independent counsel and to remove him. This would certainly PROTECT Trump from all
efforts to serve justice. How like a
FASCIST state.
Many
fear he will vote to overturn Roe V Wade. In 2006 when Kavanaugh
was up for D.C. Circuit Ct, Senator Schumer questioned if he'd commit to
following the legal precedent. He answered yes, with no farther comment. But, most feel he would not vote that way if
he is appointed to SCOTUS.
Interestingly, in 2018 he voted against the majority of the court that
allowed an undocumented teen to be temporarily released in order to have a
termination "on demand".
He
is on the side of big corporations and opposes the CFPB. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was established
under Dodd Frank. The
purpose of the CFPB is to
promote fairness and transparency for mortgages, credit cards, and other
consumer financial products and services.
Kavanaugh has argued that the $12 Billion returned to consumers
who were cheated was unconstitutional.
He has opposed industry rules on issues as varied as net neutrality and
pollution. He repeatedly states his
distrust of federal consumer protection agencies.
He
has an 'expansive' view on corporate free speech, favoring greater leeway for
corporations to spend on elections. Get
ready for Citizens United on steroids
He
will help to continue dismantling the Affordable Care Act. He is against people with pre-existing
conditions being protected and would rule to allow them to be charged much
higher rates...or be denied coverage because it is unfair to insurers. He could allow for the expansion of Medicaid,
but people with pre-existing conditions could be left out.
In
2011 he filed a 52-page dissent when the appeals court in a 2-1 vote upheld a
DC ordinance that prohibited semiautomatic rifles with magazines of more than
10 rounds. The 2 REPUBLICANS
who were the majority noted such a law worked successfully in larger states
like California and NY. The NRA
lauded Kavanaugh's dissenting opinion and they vow to push their members to
call and support Kavanuagh's appointment.
Notably,
most of his papers are still not public. We know that Kavanaugh signed off on TORTURE
when he worked in GW Bush's administration.
What else did he sign?
(There is also the question of
whether Trump should get another SCOTUS pick before he is cleared of the
suspicions of criminality and WORSE. But, that will seem way too "political.")
Our job is to call Senators Durbin and
Duckworth and ask them to cite these reasons when they OPPOSE Kavanaugh. This is NOT just politics. This radical jurist will be on the court for
a generation....THIS IS NOT POLITICS. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
and PRECEDENT.
Ask your friends and
family to call and cite these reasons Congressional switch board 202
224-3121....This is NOT about politics and getting even. This is NOT about TEAM
. This is about OUR freedoms and rights and opportunities in a land of equality
and justice....This about the America we knew BEFORE 2016 and want to see for
ourselves and our children after 2018.
