Sure Looks Like Kavanaugh Told A Whopper Of A Lie During Confirmation

Conover Kennard

We're witnessing the most corrupt Supreme Court in our lives, and it's unsurprising that they can now accept gratuities. Clarence Thomas might need a new RV soon, so pay up if you need a favor. If you want democracy demolished and the presidency turned into a monarchy, they are there for you. And, of course, it's not surprising that Justices like Brett Kavanaugh lied during his confirmation. Either that, or he's been having lunch with the likes of Nick Fuentes and did an about-face.

Look how principled he was just a few years ago:

(snip) Even in the national security context, where the Constitution gives the commander-in-chief power to the president, the president remains subject to the law.(snip)


He also said, "No one is above the law in our constitutional system," adding that the presidency is not a monarchy.

Now, it's 2024, and Kavanaugh is complicit in tilting the United States toward a monarchy. We fought this once many years ago and can do it again; we just shouldn't have to.

and none of us imagined we'd have to be fighting them again in our 60s, 70s, and 80s.
