Schumer: Kavanaugh Doesn’t Belong on SCOTUS Because He’s Skeptical of Eco Regs, Workers Rights, Civil Rights, LGBT Rights

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SCHUMER: “Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he obscured his views, shrouding his juries jurisprudence in spoke so thick the American people would never know what he really believed. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he was chosen by a president and a far right organization, both dedicated to overturning and undermining Roe v Wade and he did not a thing to refute the presumption that he would want to overturn it too. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he was chosen by far right organizations that are bent on repealing health care protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions and he did nothing to refute the presumption that he would too. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he believes that presidents should not be subject to investigations of any kind while in office, a distortion of our founding principle. That no person is above the law. Judge Kavanaugh does not belong on the bench because his jurisprudence is deeply skeptical of environmental protections, consumer protections, workers' rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, and rights of treaties and agreements with native Americans and a host of other hard-earned rights. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he has repeatedly misled the Senate, putting into serious doubt his credibility and a judge must be credible, believable, and honest, above all. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because he is an extreme partisan, something we have seen from his earliest days in his career and reconfirmed when he gave one of the bitterest, most partisan testimonies ever presented by a nominee. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't belong on the bench because of his injudicious demeanor, his partscreed will go down in history. Judges must be temperate, judicious, even-handed. Judge Kavanaugh is anything but.
