Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, from left, Brett Kavanaugh, U.S. Supreme Court associate justice nominee for U.S. President Donald Trump, and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, stand during a meeting at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. Senate Republicans are pledging a swift confirmation process that would put Kavanaugh on the bench before the new term opens Oct. 1, and there is little Democrats can do to stop them.

Oh dear:

On the left, sworn testimony in which Brett Kavanaugh tells Ted Kennedy he was "not involved in handling" Bill Pryor's nomination.
On the right, Brett Kavanaugh is invited to an "emergency umbrella meeting" at a private law firm "to discuss nominee Bill Pryor's hearing." pic.twitter.com/IDff00xEwm

Oh, and there’s this. But there’s nothing to see here I’m sure!

All of this lying under oath would be particular embarrassing had Kavanaugh been, say, a particularly aggressive lawyer in the Ken Starr Gang.

In related news, remember when Kavanaugh spent $2 million to investigate whether Hillary Clinton killed Vince Foster, years after the question had been dispositively settled? Just don’t call him partisan!

by next month, 4 of 9 seats on the SCOTUS may be occupied by justices nominated by presidents who received fewer votes than their opponents. one of those justices will have attained his seat after an unprecedented blockade of the court. the other, after he perjured himself.
