Dems plan to question Kavanaugh during public hearing about his relationship with Kozinski.

The White House, aware that the issue would likely come up during the confirmation battle, has reportedly said that Kavanaugh had never heard any allegations of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment.
Per Politico, Kozinskis actions over the years include sending out sometimes raunchy and sexually explicit jokes to an email list of law clerks, attorneys and judges called the Easy Rider Gag List, maintaining a publicly-accessible website featuring pornographic material, and, according to multiple women who worked with him, public unwanted groping and kissing.
Democrats will push to discover if Kavanaugh actually was aware of Kozinskis behavior to bring up questions of his complicity.
Lest you think just being a recipient of pornmail isn't a big deal, a similar scandal was uncovered in Pennsylvania involving employees of the state atty general's office, state police and state supreme court.
At least 2 and, iirc, maybe 3 justices had to resign because of it. And this was before #metoo.

(15,347 posts)he could be caught on film raping 12 year olds and as long as he promises to destroy Unions, Suppress Democratic voters, rule in favor of the 1% and ban abortion, Retrumplicans will rubber-stamp his "lifetime-appointment" ass.
They don't give a fuck. I can hear Susan Collins now;
"well...yes, he is on tape raping children, but I don't think we should turn this into a partisan issue...while I don't agree with the raping of children, we have to allow the "process" to work...it just makes me so uncomfortable and concerned...but I'm voting yes"
Elections have consequences...and we are going to be putting up with this fuckstick and that Neil Gorsuch ass pickle for 40-50 fucking years.
All because people stayed home, or thought voting for Jill Stein sent some kind of fucking message.
He's getting his fucking ass confirmed.
It won't matter if the Dems win 100 House seats and 15 Senate seats this November...they're getting this prick on the Supreme Court...it's that fucking important to them
TOO BAD IT'S NOT AS IMPORTANT TO DEMOCRATS!!!
