Manchin says he trusted Gorsuch and Kavanaugh....and is disappointed

[SouthernCal_Dem]

Manchin said he's "deeply disappointed" in the justices.

"I trusted Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh when they testified under oath that they also believed Roe v. Wade was settled legal precedent and I am alarmed they chose to reject the stability the ruling has provided for two generations of Americans," he said.

Kavanaugh and Gorsuch provided critical votes to assemble a Supreme Court majority to eliminate Roe v. Wade.

Critics of Manchin and Collins described them as naive, if not willfully ignorant of what some said at the time was the likely endgame if the two conservatives were added to the court.

1. And the fact that the opinion is not scholarly

and makes shallow and specious arguments makes it even worse.

I think not so willful ignorance is more accurate.

5. What bullshit

[RockRaven]

6. Manchin is a fucking liar and everyone his statement is aimed at should be offended he holds

them in such contempt that he would utter it in their direction (on top of every other reason to be offended by him, that is).

[PoliticAverse]

7. Disappointed enough to override the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade? n/t

11. Manchin is a fraud,

Always has been, and always has excuses to vote against issues with the Democrat, and is the one who can never be trusted.

[Act_of_Reparation]

12. Naive? Willfully ignorant?

Nope. Sorry. Not buying it.

I don't think for a second either of these United States Senators were so gullible they actually believed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. They are talking out both sides of their mouths, plain and simple.

13. Fuck Manchin. Joe Biden trusted him too get his agenda passed.

He back stabbed at every turn.

[Lancero]

14. Funny, according to his supporters some months back...

We should be thanking god that he's a Democrat, and that he alone was preventing Republicans from ripping away womens rights.

Joe Manchin is no differient that Jill Stein. And nether, for that matter, are their supporters.

[alwaysinasnit]

15. FWIW, the implication of that statement is that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh perjured themselves.

[arthritisR_US]

16. They wee neither naive or willfully ignorant they were

cowards looking for political payback from their RW feck wads

[DFW]

18. Only disappointed?

What about concerned? Isn't he at least concerned as well? Hasn't Susan Collins taught him anything?

[CentralMass]

19. Well Joe, you deal in dissapointment.

[Emile]

20. What has him disappointed? They did exactly what he wanted. If

he is so disappointed he would support doing away with the filibuster.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

21. Could someone put some pearls around his neck

Disappointed huh?

Is that what one says when democracy has lost?

[tanyev]

22. Gosh, maybe Kavanaugh lied about Christine Blasey Ford, too.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

24. That's swell, Manchin...

Ironically enough, many of us trusted you and have been nothing but disappointed.
