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 Kavanaughs 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.

She’s just hoping the hurricane will put the volcano out. But, if it doesn’t, that’s Trump’s fault.
Oh, please...grow up. Every judge who is confirmed for the SCOTUS is there because the President in power at least hopes he rules along the ideological lines of the party in power. Oh...I fixed your quote to make it at least be honest.
mazie hirono, histrionic theatric virtue signaler supreme.
This is all BS, she was never going to vote for him anyway — like most of the other dishonest and unethical democrats.
Just once, I’d like to see an example of what the Senator feels isn’t fair minded. She already showed us how fair minded she isn’t
Hawaii is “paradise” only if your visiting and not living in that Dem run state.
Oh yeah. Within the “tear kids away from their parents” fracas of maybe 3-4 weeks ago, her claim was that whatever was being done to illegals caught trying to cross the border was strictly as a result of Trump & his policies. That it had never been done before. This was in Cong testimony to (I suspect) the head of ICE, and her vision, if you can call it that, was that there was no law (only improvised Trump policy) prohibiting these folks from crossing the border and so anything that happened to them was entirely discretionary and thus cruel.
What will this airhead do tomorrow to seem relevant? She has shot her only bullet.
Didn’t she spout off yesterday saying President Trump was Cohen’s un-indicted co-conspirator?
Oops, it was another ditz from Hawaii.
Color me stunned!
Great! Gives Kavanaugh some free time in his schedule to pack or whatever he needs to do in prepping for moving into the supreme court chambers :)
It was nice...I'm glad I did it.But I'll never do it again.Florida and the Caribbean are much closer,much cheaper and at least as nice.
And I have no use for macadamia nuts.Hawaii is on my official boycott list.
Not only does Hirano not matter, she just doesn’t matter.
Only a few Democrat votes are needed. They are already in the bag.
So, all she can really do is pretend to be relevant
In other truly surprising news, the Sun came up in the East this morning. Once upon a time, people would fall for these magic tricks, but Dan Rather has been retired for years and CNN now has lower ratings than “Pawn Stars”.
Maybe she thinks Hawaii could tip over like Guam.
Nah, she be lolo.
