Navarro: For the good of us all, Brett Kavanaugh should step aside

[ffr]

I feel like a unicorn these days, because I did not oppose Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court at first, but I do oppose it now. Why? Entirely because of the character issues raised about him.

Countless times, I heard some fellow Republicans say they found both Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh believable during last Thursday's hearings, and then come up with explanations that strain credulity to avoid taking her side. Maybe she was confused about who the boy was, they offered. They said the burden of proof was on her and since they were both equally credible, she hadn't met it. Give me a damn break. This is like when you get asked at a banquet if you want chicken or fish. It's one or the other, not both.

I now believe Kavanaugh lacks the judicial temperament and character to serve on the Supreme Court.

Not in light of the witness tampering or lying, but just in the regard to his lack of judicial temperament and character, eh? Whatever!

1. She does talk about the lying at the end of the article

And she probably wrote it before the witness tampering information was released.

2. I suppose she wasn't keeping up or privey then.

But the story about the witness tampering text messages has been out for over 6 hours already. Her tweet about stepping aside was 2 hours ago and didn't include any mention of the texts.

3. The news cycle is so fast now, you need a rocket to keep up

4. A Republican. That's interesting. Hmmm. A little crack in the shield. Just a little one.

But a crack is a crack. Then again, she's female, which in the Republican Party counts for less than a white male Senator.

5. She lives in SOFL and voted for Hillary

A Never Trumper. She was going to vote for Johnson until FL came into play, so stepped over to the left for the GE.

6. Oh. Well, so much for that. The Repubs would regard her as a RINO. nt

7. Trump supporters consider most Repubs to be RINOS

8. Ana is a step away from joining us.

Her party haa gone off the rails and she knows it.

[Honeycombe8]

9. Great! She sees the light. nt

[Raine]

10. I wouldn't count on that

I heard her say that Reagan was "a God" she's a Trump hater but at heart she's still a Republican. Once Trump is gone she'll be back to embracing her party and all it stands for.

11. Trump won't go away. The GOP is his party now.

The Bannons, the Millers and the Gorkas of the world own it now.
