In 2007, in a class action suit, Kavanaugh wrote an opinion overruling a District Court injunction against Department of Disability Services. The case was brought by a class of individuals in DDS care who had been deemed by DDS to have “always been incapable of making medical decisions.” Essentially, the government argued that DDS had the ability to force medical care on the plaintiffs without consulting them because they were incapable of understanding what was best for them. -489 F3d 376.

He has also found reasonable suspicion existed to pat down a motorist based on the fact that a driver could not provide proof of ownership or the last name of the owner of a car that had never been reported missing or stolen. 510 F3d 342

He upheld (albeit apologetically), a circuit court’s decision to use conduct for which a man was acquitted to enhance the man’s sentence. 530 F3d 920

Some of Kavanaugh’s opinions from the DC circuit.

Not to mention his advocacy that congress immunize the president from investigation and work on the patriot act.

Anybody who thought he was going to be a small government conservative was ill informed. It was never going to happen.

He's not the small government, originalist, bill of rights protecting conservative judge that people were hoping he would be. He wrote the PATRIOT Act, which should have completely disqualified him from SCOTUS.

Since he became an SC judge, he's already had about 4 disappointing rulings (basically, any time he goes against Gorsuch, you can pretty much assume he's screwing up). In this most recent case, he wants to accept a vague definition of crime, which is not good for the rights of the accused. Another example, he just voted in favor of exceptions to double jeopardy prosecutions.

Christine Blasey Ford scrubbed social media profile before sending letter detailing alleged sexual assault: Book

Ford is a Total Fraud as most smart ones already knew.

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, deleted her social media profile weeks before she sent a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein detailing the allegation, according to a new book.


The book, Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court, set for release Tuesday, details how Ford was portrayed as politically moderate. But her acquaintances reported Ford’s profile on social media “had been notable for its extreme antipathy to President Trump,” conservative authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino wrote. Additionally, her political views "ran decidedly to the left and were at variance with most of her family's," and Ford's friends on Facebook said she "regularly expressed hostility" toward the Trump administration, they said.

Ford’s profile, however, was “completely scrubbed” about the time Kavanaugh was tapped for the Supreme Court in early July 2018. Ford informed Feinstein, the California Democrat, of her alleged encounter with Kavanaugh during a small gathering at a suburban Maryland home more than 30 years ago in a letter dated July 30, 2018.

CNN reporter pretended to be on phone call during pro-Kavanaugh gathering, book claims

A new book claims that an unnamed CNN reporter pretended to be on a phone call when a massive gathering of women attempted to lobby swing-vote Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., to support Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The reporter feigned the phone call, authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino said, as hundreds of female Kavanaugh supporters visited Flake's office at the end of 2018. Flake had been the center of controversy during that time, as he was one of the few Republicans hesitating to support Kavanaugh's confirmation.

Severino and Hemingway made that claim in their book "Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court," which they published after interviewing more than 100 sources.

The book is a scathing indictment of media outlets, which the authors claim not only failed to report on Christine Blasey Ford's background but also irresponsibly presented accusations against then-nominee Kavanaugh.

McConnell Challenger Says She’d Have Confirmed Kavanaugh, Flips Within Hours After Backlash

Amy McGrath, a Democrat challenging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.) in Kentucky, quickly reversed herself Wednesday after an interview was published in which she said she'd "probably" have voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Courier-Journal published the story online at 4:02 p.m. and McGrath was widely criticized on the left. By 7:30 p.m., she had reversed her position on Kavanaugh, who was confirmed by the Senate last year but remains a target among the Democratic base.

"Upon further reflection and further understanding of his record, I would have voted no," she tweeted.

I’m loving the fact that the national media thinks McGrath actually has a chance of beating McConnell next November.

I have come to the conclusion after reading a lot of twitter comments included below an original Tweet that instead of Twitter it should be called Putz.

What a bunch of ****. People have lost their minds.
