Brett Kavanaugh helped Ken Starr cover up the death of Vincent Foster. He’s always been a deep stater; his nomination was just another Trump personnel mistake. There are so many, but we are stuck with this one for many many years.
President Trump’s hands may have been tied. I don’t know whether or not it is true, but I have read that Justice Kennedy agreed to resign only after he was assured that Brett Kavanaugh, his former clerk, would be appointed.
