Was Levin AWAKE or among the living during Bork, or even better Clarence Thomas????
Levin is talking about the effort to get him nominated, not confirmed. Two different worlds.
Hi TGKC!
Levin worked in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and was a chief of staff for Attorney General Edwin Meese.
Edwin Meese was at the announcement speech, last night. POTUS honored him, and Meese (barely) stood up.
You’re thinking of the campaigns AGAINST Bork and Thomas. Levin is talking about the campaign FOR Kavanaugh. There was a lot of editorial lobbying for him in the media, including both an editorial and a Karl Rove op ed in the Wall Street Journal. I think he’s going to be another Roberts: unreliable and cares too much about getting invited to all the right Washington parties.
I believe Levin is referring to a campaign that we didn’t see, but apparently Levin knows all about. The swamp wanted Kavanaugh and used aggressive and nasty tactics to get him nominated. He’s saying don’t trust Kavanaugh.
I am not excited about Kavanaugh either because it seems like a wrong note in the Trump song, but I am not an expert on music.
