Disgusting

On Tuesday night, Donald Trump sunk to one of his lowest levels yet, demeaning himself and the presidency in the process. At one of his ego-fluffing rallies, he mocked the woman who has accused his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual misconduct (details here).

On the heels of that outrage, word came yesterday that the supposed week-long FBI review of the accusations against Kavanaugh lasted only three days. The final vote process begins Friday. More than forty witnesses were not contacted. Neither Kavanaugh nor his accuser who testified were questioned by the FBI.

All but three Republican senators have announced they plan to vote to confirm Kavanaugh without even bothering to look at the cursory FBI review.

Setting the sexual misconduct matters aside for a moment, Kavanaugh's behavior during his last day of public appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He clearly has an anti-Democrat, anti-progressive bias. A biased person like that should not be the judge of any court, let alone a sitting Justice on the Supreme Court.

The five senators to call and urge to vote "no" on Kavanaugh are:

Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, (202) 224-2523.

Jeff Flake, a Republican from Arizona, (202) 224-4521.

Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota, (202) 224-2043.

Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, (202) 224-3954.

Lisa Murkowski, a Republican from Alaska (202) 224-6665.

When you call, say you're from their state and tell them you won't vote for them again if they vote to confirm Kavanaugh. Yes, it may be a white lie to pretend you're from their state if you're not, but the Trump supporters are already doing this, urging "yes" votes.
