@ Boo's butthurt whining about Kavanaugh still. ing hilarious.
Dozens of 'serious' conduct complaints against Justice Brett Kavanaugh are dismissed because he was confirmed to the Supreme Court
- Federal judges reviewing complaints lodged against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Tuesday that
the allegations against the former federal appeals court judge are "serious."
- But they ruled that it must dismiss them without determining their merits because of Kavanaugh's October confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
- Judge Timothy Tymkovich wrote that "the complaints must be dismissed because an intervening event — Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court — has made the complaints no longer appropriate for consideration under the [Judicial Conduct and Disability Act]."
most of the complaints include allegations of
false statements under oath during Kavanaugh's D.C. Circuit confirmation hearings in 2004 and 2006 as well as during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings earlier this year.
Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump's second nominee to the top court, was accused of sexual misconduct before he was confirmed.
Kavanaugh "falsely testified about his personal conduct, behavior, and recollection of events" prior to joining the federal judiciary and thar
he "displayed partisan bias and lack of judicial temperament."
he castigated Democrats for holding up his nomination because they were "fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election" and seeking "revenge on behalf of the Clintons."
"he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land."
Tymkovich, a George W. Bush appointee, declined to recuse himself from the probe into Kavanaugh after a complaint was filed requesting that he do so.

So this binge-drinking, pussy-grabbing, incorrigible SERIOUS-LIAR-UNDER-FEDERAL-OATH PIECE CATHOLIC REPUG is now a crapifying hard-right-asshole in SCOTUS robes.
And remember that equally POS Roberts sat on these complaints until after K was ramrodded onto SCOTUS

You've been whining about Hillary since the mid 1990s.
LOL. Hillary is just a pathetic footnote in history. She just hasn't realized it yet.
neither have any conservatives in government, the media, or on this board
She'll be their go-to *DING* for decades to come.
I filed one of the 83 dismissed misconduct complaints against Brett Kavanaugh. Here’s why.
Larry Behrendt practiced law for more than 30 years in New York and California.
dismissed 83 judicial misconduct complaints filed against Brett M. Kavanaugh in connection with his nomination to the Supreme Court.
The iden ies of the complainers have been kept secret, but nothing prevents them from coming forward.
I am coming forward. I’m one of those 83 complainers.
Kavanaugh alleged (without factual basis) that
he was the victim of a vast, secret, left-wing cabal,
masterminded by senators such as Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)
and
motivated by “revenge on behalf of the Clintons.”
I was shocked to hear a Supreme Court nominee carry on like a crazed conspiracy theorist.
Turns out, there’s a rule against federal judges behaving like this.
Congress passed the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act in 1980, and the rules under that act state that
it’s misconduct for a federal judge to make “inappropriately partisan statements.”
I may be retired, but I think I know an inappropriately partisan statement when I hear one.
dismissal of the 83 complaints on Dec. 18, explaining its decision roughly as follows:
(1) The 1980 act applies to circuit judges but not Supreme Court justices,
(2) Kavanaugh was a D.C. Circuit Court judge during his confirmation hearings and when I filed my complaint, but
(3) he’s a Supreme Court justice now.
Evidently a circuit judge nominated to the Supreme Court can be held responsible for his partisan misconduct before the Senate,
so long as the Senate fails to confirm the nominee.
But if the nominee wins the approval of a partisan Senate, then his inappropriate partisanship is excused.
This reasoning doesn’t make sense to me. It’s like saying we can prosecute a safecracker only if the safe proved to be empty.
the Judicial Council skipped around relevant commentary stating that
“as long as the subject of a complaint performs judicial duties, a complaint alleging judicial conduct must be addressed.”
The 1980 act assigned to the courts a responsibility to address judges who engage in misconduct, and the 10th Circuit Judicial Council read the act looking for a way out.
It appears that federal judges can indeed make inappropriately partisan statements,
so long as they are important judges with powerful partisan friends.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...nl_most&wpmm=1
So in fact, Man IS above the law,
if wealthy enough,
and/or connected enough and/or
in a profession that protects its worst, even criminal members
I expect that Roberts, who had alread sat on the complaints, colluded with the 10th Circuit (making sure Repug-appointed judges included) to excuse bag K from his judicial misconduct on the Federal bench

"It hit me like a ton of bricks
when I saw this week that Susan Collins received $1.8 million in donations
after voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court—
by far the most she's ever raised in a quarter."
... from Robert Reich/MoveOn email
and remember how Paul Ryan or his PAC received $500K after passing the Oligarchy's Tax Cut?
Brett Kavanaugh Shows How Eager He Is to Tear Down the Wall Between Church and State
in 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court
flipped the First Amendment on its head by ruling, for the first time ever, that
the Cons ution sometimes requires the government to provide public funds directly to a church.
Its decision in Trinity Lutheran v. Comer blew a chunk out of the wall between church and state.
And on Monday, Justice Brett
Kavanaugh announced his intention to demolish the remainder of that wall by invalidating laws that bar government subsidization of religion.
On Monday, Kavanaugh vindicated Sotomayor’s fears by seizing upon a case called
Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders v. Freedom From Religion Foundation.
In Morris County, 12 churches sought to help restore their facilities with historic preservation funds provided by the county.
But the New Jersey Cons ution, like the Missouri Cons ution, bars direct aid to religion, and a taxpayer, represented by FFRF, sued to enforce this provision.
“the public funds awarded in this case” would go toward “religious uses.”
Indeed,
the funds in question would help the church “conduct worship services” and
“repair religious imagery.”
New Jersey taxpayers, the court held, cannot possibly be obligated to subsidize the literal exercise of religion.
Kavanaugh wrote separately to condemn New Jersey’s “pure discrimination against religion.”
In his view,
“prohibiting historic preservation grants to religious organizations simply because the organizations are religious would raise serious questions under this Court’s precedents and the Cons ution’s fundamental guarantee of equality.”
Eventually, Kavanaugh wrote,
the court should affirm the “bedrock principle of religious equality” "
by striking down laws that restrict states’ ability to preserve houses of worship with taxpayer dollars. Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch joined his opinion.

America is CLEARLY not now, or ever was, a democracy, is tending towards authoritarianism and Christian theocracy.
The oligarchy buys whatever it wants, and America is for sale, has been for decades, and is extremely cheap with a unimaginable ROI.
$22 Million In Dark Money Behind Kavanaugh Nomination
the Judicial Crisis Network, a conservative secretive dark money group received $22 million from anonymous donors in the year leading up to the Tump administration and conservatives’ push to place Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Supreme Court.
A full $17 million of that $22 million came from one anonymous donor.
“The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, pledged to spend as much as $10 million to ensure Kavanaugh’s confirmation — the same amount that it spent to help confirm Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017,”
“JCN has close ties to Trump’s judicial adviser Leonard Leo, a longtime executive at the Federalist Society, the influential conservative and libertarian lawyers network based in Washington, D.C.”
“Wellspring has continued to send massive annual endowments to JCN since the group launched in 2005.
JCN, in turn, has continued to pour tens of millions of dollars into every subsequent Supreme Court nomination fight and working to reshape the judiciary.
Wellspring reported donating almost $15 million to JCN in 2017, on top of $23.5 million in 2016.
Neither organization discloses the sources of its funds.”

House Democrats seek Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh's records
Two Democrats on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, including the panel’s chairman, asked the National Archives on Tuesday for records from Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s service in the White House under former President George W. Bush.
they were seeking records from 2001 to 2006 that include
do ents unavailable during Kavanaugh’s 2018 Senate confirmation,
which was dominated by allegations of sexual misconduct.
Nadler and Johnson said the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to recommend Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the full Senate after reviewing only a fraction of his White House records.
Nadler and Johnson said they wanted records from Kavanaugh’s service in the White House counsel’s office from 2001 to 2003 and as White House staff secretary from 2003 to 2006. The list includes Kavanaugh’s emails and office file textual records from his stint as staff secretary.

House Dems should impeach K and then vote to find him guilty, eg, of lying to Congress during confirmation to his earlier Federal judgeship. They may even find that he lied to the Senate for his SCOTUS confirmation.
Wimpy, creepy little privileged off loser
You need to be investigated you ing idiot.
another djohn special
Board conservatives ostensibly still thirsty for HRC. Does not cease from their mouths years after she became a political dead duck.
Her folklorical significance has survived her political career, for better and for worse.
Those crazy Conservatives still want justice 3 years later. What a fiasco.
Is Kavanaugh the Merritt Garland Justice, or, is Such the Merritt Garland Justice?
LMFAO! & people say, I say, people say we don't do wet work. tee, hee.
Justice for what/whom?
Isn't it enough to have hastened her retirement from politics?
Why House Democrats Are Demanding Brett Kavanaugh’s Records
What do we expect to get from these do ents? First and foremost, Kavanaugh’s full views on abortion, which remain hidden as long as his records do.
these are not normal times.
So instead of allowing for, or insisting upon, a thorough vetting of Kavanaugh prior to his confirmation,
Senate Republicans conducted a sham process that deprived the American people of 92 percent of Kavanaugh’s records
—and of answers to still-burning
questions about whether he is ultimately fit to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
a mere fraction of Kavanaugh’s records—just 415,084of the estimated 3.85 million total pages of do ents—from the George W. Bush administration.
The do ents it was able to review were
provided by Bush’s personal lawyer
instead of by the nonpartisan professionals at the National Archives and Records Administration.
As a result, the only records seen by the Senate Judiciary Committee were
hand-picked and screened by the same lawyer who represents the likes of Don McGahn, Reince Priebus, and Steve Bannon
—and only a subset of that limited, partisan production was made available to the public.
The National Archives itself did not provide a single page of records from Kavanaugh’s service in the White House.
a majority of the American public is still acutely skeptical of Kavanaugh and is eager for such review.
A recent poll found that 58 percent of respondents think the National Archives should release the hidden Kavanaugh do ents.
President Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail that Roe would be overturned “automatically” once he had his choice of justices on the Court.
The public’s faith in the independence of the judiciary depends on the impartiality of judges and justices.
the public deserves an opportunity to review Kavanaugh’s full record to determine when his impartiality should be questioned and
when he should be expected to recuse himself.
to get answers about whether
Kavanaugh lied under oath when he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2004, 2006, and 2018.
During all three hearings, Kavanaugh seemed to lie about issues large and small,
from whether he was involved in the confirmation of controversial judges
to whether he knew he was using do ents that had been stolen from a Democratic staffer’s computer.
The complete set of records from his time in the George W. Bush White House should shed light on these issues and settle, once and for all,
whether the most junior justice of the United States Supreme Court perjured himself in the process of achieving that position.
There is no way to fully undo the damage that has been done to the legitimacy of the Supreme Court,
but House Democrats have an opportunity to expose the true Kavanaugh to the U.S. public.
It’s a great first step, and we’re glad they’re taking it.

‘Barr politicizes everything’: Ex prosecutors rip Trump’s AG for honoring Brett Kavanaugh lawyers
Attorney General William Barr was blasted by former DOJ prosecutors after announcing a controversial choice of recipients of the Department of Justice’s distinguished service award.
“The Justice Department will present one of its
most prestigious awards to the lawyers who worked on the highly contentious Supreme Court nomination process of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh,”
“Next month, Attorney General William P. Barr will present the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service to those who worked ‘to support the nomination’ of the judge,
Typically, the distinguished service honor, the department’s second-highest,
is given to employees who worked on significant prosecutions, rather than on judicial nomination processes,”
“This prestigious award typically goes to prosecutors who
make the biggest cases against
terrorists,
corrupt politicians,
drug cartels,
organized crime enterprises, etc.”
“And now AG Barr is using it to honor… Team Kavanaugh.”

'I’m glad Brett was confirmed': Blasey Ford's father supported Kavanaugh confirmation
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...h-confirmation
Brett Kavanaugh Fit In With the Privileged Kids. She Did Not.
she says, a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and thrust his penis at her, prompting her to swat it away and inadvertently touch it.
It was the nadir of her first year, when she often felt insufficiently rich, experienced or savvy to mingle with her more privileged classmates.
“I had gone through high school, I’m the good girl, and now, in one evening, it was all ripped away,”
By preying upon her in this way, she added, Mr. Kavanaugh and his friends “make it clear I’m not smart.”
Ms. Ramirez’s story could be more fully corroborated. During his Senate testimony,
Mr. Kavanaugh said that if the incident Ms. Ramirez described had occurred, it would have been “the talk of campus.”
Our reporting suggests that it was.
At least seven people, including Ms. Ramirez’s mother, heard about the Yale incident long before Mr. Kavanaugh was a federal judge.
Two of those people were classmates who learned of it just days after the party occurred,
suggesting that it was discussed among students at the time.
We also uncovered a previously unreported story about Mr. Kavanaugh in his freshman year that echoes Ms. Ramirez’s allegation.
A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student.
Mr. Stier, who runs a nonprofit organization in Washington, notified senators and the F.B.I. about this account, but
the F.B.I. did not investigate and Mr. Stier has declined to discuss it publicly.
(We corroborated the story with two officials who have communicated with Mr. Stier.)
Mr. Kavanaugh did not speak to us because we could not agree on terms for an interview. But he has denied Dr. Ford’s and Ms. Ramirez’s allegations, and declined to answer our questions about Mr. Stier’s account.
People called her Debbie Cheerleader or Debbie Dining Hall or would start to say
“Debbie does … ” playing on the 1978 porn movie “Debbie Does Dallas.” But Ms. Ramirez didn’t understand the reference.
It wasn’t until she got a call from a reporter and saw her account of Mr. Kavanaugh described as “sexual misconduct” in The New Yorker that Ms. Ramirez understood it as anything more than one of many painful encounters at Yale.
Ms. Ramirez’s legal team gave the F.B.I. a list of at least 25 individuals who may have had corroborating evidence.
But the bureau — in its supplemental background investigation —
interviewed none of them,
though we learned many of these potential witnesses tried in vain to reach the F.B.I. on their own.
Two F.B.I. agents interviewed Ms. Ramirez, telling her that they found her “credible.” But the
Republican-controlled Senate had imposed strict limits on the investigation. “‘We have to wait to get authorization to do anything else,’”
“I would view the Ramirez allegations as not having been even remotely investigated.” Other Democrats agreed.
Senator Charles E. Grassley,
concluded, “There is no corroboration of the allegations made by Dr. Ford or Ms. Ramirez.”
Ms. Ramirez came to feel supported by the very Yale community from which she had once felt so alienated.
More than 3,000 Yale women signed an open letter commending her “courage in coming forward.”
More than 1,500 Yale men issued a similar letter two days later.
