I probably don't agree with Brett Kavanaugh but I do certainly believe he was subjected to an extended and transparent political smear campaign. I don't think it is a good picture for an organisation for civil liberties to partake here and if they are connected to that it is a bit worse than a bad look.
- arrosenberg 5y agoSo its a bad look for a special interest group to pursue that interest when a Republican operative is involved? I don’t understand how the two are related. Are you saying Brett Kavanaugh was wrongly construed, that he will support civil liberties? Seems like money well spent by the ACLU.
- raxxorraxor 5y agoI don't see any possibility how the media campaign against him can be construed as a gain for civil liberties. Especially like you almost admit that it wasn't about his failures as a person and just politically motivated. This is independent from how well Brett Kavanaugh will later defend civil liberties or not.
- arrosenberg 5y agoHow is it independent? The reader can decide if he's morally qualified or not, but he had a long judicial record to rely upon for the ACLU to decide that he wasn't a friend of civil liberties.
