Sen. Ron Wyden said Thursday that it appears Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lied to Congress in 2006 when he testified about when he learned of a post-9/11 surveillance program.

The Oregon Democrat said in an emailed statement to the Washington Examiner that documents published by the New York Times appear to contradict Kavanaugh’s testimony.

“Yes, the documents made public this week strongly suggest Brett Kavanaugh was involved in discussions about the Bush administration’s illegal warrantless wiretapping programs, and that he misled the American people in his 2006 testimony,” Wyden said.

1. So? He Fits Right In With repub Party

It's going to take much more than lying to keep him off the Court.

Actually, there probably is nothing that will keep him off, since the gutless repubs will all vote the same.

6. Lying under oath to Congress is a crime.

How can they confirm him when he's a criminal? Oh right, I forgot, these are Russian Repugs with no morals or caring about America, the constitution or justice.

7. Of course he did! He is a republican.

We are currently witnessing just how low they will stoop to maintain absolute power. Nominating this shitbag is just another item on the list.
