Another problem with Kavanaugh

[sathari]

Pursuant to rydra_wong's last post, for anyone who understandably finds it uncomfortable to talk about sexual assault with Republican senators' office staffers (or indeed Republicans and conservatives generally, or anyone in general), former Senator Russ Feingold, who served on the Judiciary Committee during Kavanaugh's confirmation to his present position, has laid out the, AHEM, discrepancies between Kavanaugh's testimony then and information that's come out in the current proceedings and the extent to which that's an issue..

(I suspect I'm not alone in wanting Mr. Feingold to make the rounds of the news shows with this.)

And, yeah, the sheer gall of a Ken Starr associate counsel taking that position after the fact reeks of "we used this weapon on you and now we're going to disarm it before you can return the favor."

With bonus points for his views on US v. Nixon. So he's maintaining that Nixon and Trump should be exempt from investigation and accountability, Bill Clinton not. It's a double switch-back!

... yeah, that is... SPECIAL. Republicans get one set of rules for their conduct, everyone else gets another crueler one. Never mind the whole "created equal and endowed... with certain inalienable rights" business in one of the US's founding documents.
