Feinstein’s ‘Temperament’ Gambit: Democrats lobby the ABA to reopen its Kavanaugh evaluation.
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 30, 2018 4:12 p.m. ET

The intervention by American Bar Association President and Hillary Clinton supporter Robert Carlson against Brett Kavanaugh turns out to be even worse than we reported on Saturday. Now, exploiting the latest delay in a Senate confirmation vote, Democrats and liberals like Mr. Carlson are pressuring the ABA’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary to reopen its evaluation of Brett Kavanaugh.

The ABA committee submitted its evaluation to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Aug. 31. Paul Moxley, the Utah lawyer who chairs the ABA committee, wrote that “after an exhaustive evaluation process, the Standing Committee has determined by a unanimous vote that Judge Kavanaugh is ‘Well Qualified.’” That is the ABA’s highest rating.

The excuse now being pushed on the ABA behind the scenes isn’t merely the uncorroborated claims of sexual misconduct, which are being investigated by the FBI. The new claim is that Mr. Kavanaugh’s passionate defense of his reputation before the Senate last week showed that he is too political and lacks the proper judicial temperament.

“Judge Kavanaugh did not reflect an impartial temperament or the fairness and even-handedness one would see in a judge,” Senate Democrat Dianne Feinstein tweeted on Friday. “He was aggressive and belligerent.”

The media have picked up the meme. “The judge who previously served as a top aide to President George W. Bush and worked for independent counsel Ken Starr’s investigation of President Bill Clinton tossed aside his earlier judicious language of neutrality,” opined CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic.

“His declaration was the product of his personal anger, to be sure, and the move of a nominee whose professional and personal fate was on the line.

Like an abusive lover the Democrat attitude is: “If we can’t possess the Republic then we’ll kill the Republic”

The ABA has no credibility. It is propaganda for the Democrats.

If Carlson is the one that wrote that letter on ABA letterhead he should be losing his job on Monday morning.

That wasn’t “temperament”, that was a “reckoning”.

“Temperament?”
What about bloomenthal? calmy, cooly, interrogating Kavanaugh. No show of anger. No emotion. Just profound, inhuman vicious meanness.

So Kavanaugh answered back. I would have answered much more strongly. He tried to respect the dignity of the courtroom.

The f*ckface dems attacked him for weeks. Riped his integrity to shreds. Kept the attacks coming, one after another. Hurt his relationship with his wife and daughters. And they expect him to bow down in abject submission, saying yes maam and yes sir? Bull$hit!

Gee, now just what has that nasty old grandma Ruthie Ginsburg said about Trump WHILE A SITTING USSC JUSTICE?

If ANYONE should be investigated, it should be HER. And she should be RECUSED from any case in the interim, esp those that have to do with the Trump Administration, DOJ, or political hot potatoes

Shouldn’t we be Talking about EXPELLING Her from the Senate???

from Devin Nunes:

“She had a responsibility to share that with Republicans. And second, she should have made sure that the FBI knew about that as they were doing an additional background check,”

considering how many ‘political’ judges we have, including more than a few in Hawaii, California and NY, the ABA may be opening a door they can’t shut

The FBI should re-open investigations into Kagan and Sotomayor.

They know the FBI thing is going to nowhere.

Unfortunately it looks like it worked on Flake.

Step 1) Make baseless and horrible accusations.
Step 2) Wait for target of baseless and horrible accusations to respond.
Step 3) No matter the response, state that the response shows a lack of restraint.
Step 4) PROFIT!

Boy, those Underwear Gnomes sure are experts in Politics!
