U.S. Sen. Mazie K. Hirono announced today that she will oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Donald Trump long ago announced his intention to nominate a judge off of a list prepared by the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation,” said Hirono in a news release. “When it became clear he chose the one person from that list who believes presidents should not be subject to criminal investigations or civil suits, I knew that nominee would have a very heavy burden of proof. Given his lengthy record of partisan political activity, I could not give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Hirono said she spent the last six weeks reading Kavanaugh’s opinions and dissents from his time on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, along with his law reviews, speeches and the “relatively few documents” from his federal service that Judiciary Committee Senators have been allowed to see.
“It is clear to me that he is not a fair-minded judge and would not be a fair-minded justice,” she said.

I suppose the least she could have done is shown the courtesy due to a Supreme County nominee by at least holding her appointment with him.
Comments, opinions, snarky statements, etc - anyone?
How much do taxpayers pay these people to spend their lives pompously signaling their virtue?
Why I’m shocked I tell ya...
/s
They just make stuff up.
They send it out as memes and fake news on Face Book. Senators will then regurgitate it.
If it were 1941 she’d be radioing Tokyo about the big, fat, helpless battleships sitting at anchor at Pearl Harbor.
She sounds like she’s not a fair-minded Senator ,LOL
Meanwhile a freakin hurricane is going to hit Hawaii, not like that idiot gives a rats behind, but she will still beg President Trump for money after wards
Hawaii is going to fill up and sink
Big news. Like, she would have voted to confirm Kav anyway.
Who, outside of Hawaiians, has even heard of this person prior to her earth-shattering announcement? She must be running in November.
She read none of it. She knows what opinion of Kavanaugh is required of her - she doesn't need to think for herself.
I hope Hurricane Lane completely washed Keiko Hirono away . May she never be seen again . She’s an embarrassment .
The unknown , untold ,story is that her father , the supposedly abusive father , was a very likely an Imperial Japanese Army soldier , out t here killing Americans in WW2 . Possibly even as a ‘vet’ , a member of the demonic Unit 731 . If only the truth were known about Hirono’s ancestral past . And now this nitwit is a U.S. Senator , telling us all how it’s going to be ? Pee on that!
The main reason being I'm a Democrat and hope the midterm elections give us a bigger voice in the House so we can get OUR way.
This idiot was in the news recently for some comments she regarding Kavanaugh in which she was schooled. Think it had to do with her lack of constitutional knowledge. Just don’t remember who was responsible for the beat down.
Dis kaikamahine, she be okole puka.
Keiko is running this year . Despite her supposed cancer . May it greatly metastasize !
LOL, if I could give a thumbs up to a post...
Inquiring minds want to know : What was Hirono’s father’s role in WW2 ???? hmmm?
“Cancels meeting”
She never intended to meet him anyway.
