19. He only exhibiting what he is: A racist, white supremacist, privileged class Republican a-hole.

[uponit7771]

25. WTF ?!?! Any confirmation that this is his opinion?

[yardwork]

40. It says that Kavanaugh wrote this in the Wall Street Journal.

Do we have the original publication?

[Cha]

32. What a brainwashed idiot who should get

nowhere near the SCOTUS.

Of course, Fraud nominated him.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

35. How can ANYONE say that Hawaiians are NOT indigenous to HI ??

This is just flat out wrong. And racist.

I fear for Alaska Natives and all First Nations.

Just when I thought this guy could not be any more unqualified for the position . . .

[Cha]

38. I know.. That's pure Gaslighting Evil like snubbing Fred

Guttenberg only on a more massive scale.. and not as heartbreaking.

[FBaggins]

42. Where does he say that?

I don’t see it

Never mind... I was looking at the first document

[SharonClark]

2. Bravo!!!

Confidential only because they don't want the public to know how awful Kavanaugh is.

[Fred Sanders]

14. But, but, national security!......how? Someone should ask The Secret Society of Republicans why

they suppressed this on....national security??

Fuck, the wheels really are coming off everywhere Shitler rolls these days!

[Freethinker65]

3. Exactly. Nothing confidential. They just don't want Kavanaugh to have to defend his writings

[lapfog_1]

4. confidential or classified

they are simply embarrassing and show this political hack as too prejudiced to ever render a fair judgement.

Release ALL the materials and let the public decide.

[Wednesdays]

16. Silly, the public doesn't get to decide anything!

[Cosmocat]

20. Political Hack

What I have been saying from the moment he was announced as the nominee.

It is out there, too, in the open.

[unblock]

5. showing not only the kavanaugh is unfit, but also that republicans abuse their powers

[brush]

6. That's just one doc out of tens of thousands the repugs are hiding.

[elleng]

7. Good to see Dems playing hardball!

[Blue_playwright]

9. This does seem to be a planned effort. Nt

[erronis]

13. Yes - you're absolutely right. This is a planned effort by the repuglicons and other forces

to subvert democracy.

I hope this is what you were implying....

[ancianita]

24. I am SO happy to see it too, the young ones leading the charge and the old ones backing them.

It does my political heart a lot of good.

[uponit7771]

26. +1, they're doing a couple things that seemed coordinated

[Sneederbunk]

8. Senator, we have a bad pineapple on our hands.

[JuJuYoshida]

10. Go Mazie Go!

[MuseRider]

11. Anyone have an email for her?

Either I am in too big a rush to see it on her website or it is not there. I wrote to Senator Booker already. Although I do have a Twitter account I rarely have ever used it and am not too terribly interested in doing so now.

[steve2470]

[MuseRider]

31. Thank you so much! n/t

36. my pleasure nt

[watoos]

15. Well said

These documents aren't being "leaked" they were being covered up, hidden, by Republicans. Shame on Republicans for concealing information about Kavanaugh's record.

[madaboutharry]

17. The republicans wanted to hide this from the public.

They wanted to hide this because it demonstrates that Kavanaugh is a privileged white man who doesn't care about the lives of other people unless they look like him.

[watoos]

18. Unless they are in the 1% and look like him.

Kavanaugh will shit all over the working men and women of this country no matter their color.

21. '...a prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.'--Senator Hirono

‘I am Spartacus.’ —Senator Booker
‘Bogus’, ‘Sham’ —Senator Blumenthal

[Hekate]

22. I have been so benumbed since the election, BUT Maizie Hirono just gave me goosebumps

Goosebumps. Hawai'i should be so proud.

[Cha]

33. I know! Aloha, Hekate!

Senator Mazie Hirono

[dalton99a]

23. Kick

[bettyellen]

28. Was so proud of her yesterday. She really nailed him to the wall- he was speechless.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. might be crazy

I've probably caught some insanity, but...

Is the shit getting deep enough for -some- republicans to start calling their senators, demanding truth and justice? Surely they're not all deplorable trumpers.

[stuffmatters]

30. I thought Hirono's Kav ?ing was one of the most effective & impressive yesterday

No nonsense Hirono filled her time with a flood of facts and BS piercing, proving Kavanaugh is a zealot level partisan, His ignorant racism re:indigenous Hawaiians was powerful not only because it showed his direct harm to the state She represents; Hirono also sent Murkowski and her voters a bulletin that he would extend the same anti historical prejudice to Alaska's indigenous population.
After her questioning of Kav on his unconstitutional judical assault upon a raped teenager seeking an abortion, one could only
describe Kavanaugh as not only a judicial paternalist/misogynist but as a flat out judicial sadist.

[Cha]

34. Good Points!

[Scurrilous]

39. K&R

[oasis]

41. I love Hirono's grit and determination. Solid Dmocratic values.

[calimary]

44. Senator Mazie the Hero.

She was rather heroic on Kavanaugh yesterday, along with Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, and Dick Durbin, among other marvelous Dems in the “Backbone Brigade”.
