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.

Yeah. Because a “fair-minded” judge, would be someone who announced he was gunning for Trump, right Senator?
It’s not as if she was going to vote for him, anyway; she’s just using this opportunity to make a dig.
Took her 6 weeks to read “the relatively few documents...we were allowed to see”. Slow reader? Or just slow?
This woman is a complete idiot. They accuse others of judging a book by its cover and then do it themselves. What an ugly dunce.
She is just using the hurricane as an excuse not to meet him and thought she might get the formalities out of the way and declare up front she won’t support him.
Mazie is one of the most stupid people in the Senate
Now that the dog has barked, let the caravan move on
No big deal! You know she was going to oppose kavanaugh anyway.
Wow, a demonrat going against Trump.
Typical liberal! Dont confuse me with facts. My mind is already made up!
