george brett kavanaugh seems well-adjusted.'s a difference between judicial temperament when you've been accused of gang rape and all the rest of it versus 12 years on the bench and glowing reviews. i've seen him how he's acted in person and no complaints in that regard. i think you'll be just fine being on the bench and settling in the first year on the supreme court it's always an adjustment process being among the nine. but as far as temperament, i don't see that being a problem of him quickly settling in.>> the supreme court justices i've talked to says every time a new justice arrives, the dynamics within the court changed somehow. sometimes in unpredictable ways. how do you think brett kavanaugh will change this court? >> i think that's right. even if his vote on a given case would be exactly the same as justice kennedy, the seat he's filling, would have done. in terms of which area of law he's most interested or expert in like administrative law. pushing back on the executive state or constitutional structure. kennedy wa

i have known brett and his wife ashley for more than 15 years, since we worked together in the george w. bush white house. i have seen them in tough situations. i have seen them tested. i have seen their character. i have known brett not so much as a legal scholar or a judge or a professor, but as a colleague and a friend and a father and a husband, and i have known him as someone who is smart, thoughtful, and compassionate. among white house colleagues, i know that he is universally viewed that way. he was at the time and he still is today, as we have seen from the testimony of so many men and women who have worked with him. i also know that brett kavanaugh has been a widely respected public servant for nearly three decades, including the last 12 years as a judge on the d.c. circuit court. what most view as the second highest court in the land. i know that he has received praise from his fellow judges, his many law clerks, the majority of whom have been women. the students in his classes at harvard, yale, and georgetown law schools. students from across the political spectrum. also t

he was tweaking a couple of weeks ago during the protest about brett kavanaugh being confirmed for the supreme court about georgeng for the placards being made. that is very thinly veiled and has been regarded as anti—semitic. there was no evidence whatsoever. it is something people seems to do. this guy has been, he is only a suspect at the moment, but he has been linked to these kind of tweets on social media and the things anyone was on twitter for five minutes can be lots of people who may qualify as being slightly crazy and talking about conspiracies and saying things that are anti—semitic. in this country and most countries, they don't have and most countries, they don't have an opportunity to go out and buy a fa st an opportunity to go out and buy a fast acting gun to go and kill lots of people. in america, it is easy if you are slightly crazy to manifest ina varied you are slightly crazy to manifest in a varied and, dramatic way. but you are not going to get rid of the guns, you are not going to get rid of the u you are not going to get rid of the guns, so there will be people who argued donald trump is

one last thing that is important, brett kavanaugh is -- a nominee from central casting for an establishment republican. you can see george guy like brett kavanaugh. my question is whether one of those more established g.o.p. presidents would have stuck with the nominee, as ardently as president trump data. i don't know that they would have because what we have seen for the last couple weeks, it has been the nastiest i've ever seen up here. >> i want to pick up on that with you, molly. because some democrats say if they pick the house or the senate, they will continue to investigate this. they will investigate the fbi investigation, what the limits where that were placed on it. they will in place, could replace kavanaugh who would then be justice cavanaugh, they talk about bringing him up to the senate or the house and talking to him. with clarence thomas as bad as it was when he was elected, it was done. the suggestion is, this won't be over regardless of what happens. >> i realize they are saying that and the base is encouraging them to take that kind of posture but it's worth remembering that there have been weeks now

because of executive privilege because these were not documents that brett kavanaugh owned but either by the national archives or the george w. bush library. it's important to note that more documents about judge kavanaugh have been produced for him than all other supreme court justices passed n mbined. more paper on judge kavanaugh than all other supreme court justices combined. so once again that argument ran out of gas. danforth was the normally scheduled confirmation hearings which judge kavanaugh sat through with flying colors. but then things began to take a darker turn. and i'm talking about the accusations that the democratic colleague sat on for a month. before seeing them leaked into thee press contrary to doctor ford's wishes and her consent. these allegations alleged high school misconduct on the part of judge kavanaugh that the ranking member of the judiciary committee did not share that with the fbi for six weeks or more, did not share it with bipartisan senate judiciary committee investigators who are responsible to supplement the investigation the background investigation the ranking member did not share it

he has known brett kavanaugh for many years and brett kavanaugh even had a hand in george w. bush choosing john roberts for the supreme court, but he is also very concerned about the reputation of the court. wondering how this will all shake out. bottom line, wolf, brett kavanaugh would give him a solid fifth vote for his side of the court. then we go to clarence thomas. we have invoked so many times during this ordeal because back in 1991, he face said sexual allegations in his case. it was sexual harassment alleged bee anita hill, a former colleague of his. he has been feeling some sympathy for what brett kavanaugh is going through and if brett kavanaugh joins, he would be with clarence thomas on the right of the court. then we move over to the left and we have the leader of the left wing, ruth bader ginsburg who is notable for two reasons. you know she is a leading feminist and made her name in the 1970s as a women's rights advocate and has spoken publicly about the me too movement. the thing that is most important for her is she is about to be only in dissent. the main guy

there are thousands, if not millions of documents related to brett kavanaugh's time in the george w. bush white house that the senate and the public never got to see. more of those documents will be released and even more will be foia'ed over time and even more evidence may emerge that kavanaugh lied under oath about his activities during that time. we've also learned that chief justice john roberts has received more than a dozen judicial misconduct complaints against kavanaugh, passed along by a judge on the d.c. court of appeals, where kavanaugh was a judge until this weekend. we don't know what, if anything, will become of those complaints now that kavanaugh is the chief justice's colleague. "the new yorker's" ronan farrow who broke the story of kavanaugh accuser deborah ramirez hinted there might be more accusers to share their stories of sexual misconduct against kavanaugh. we don't have a roadmap to handle the prospect of a supreme court justice with so many outstanding complaints or potential complaints against him. how will such complaints be adjudicated if and when they come

george w. bush. he appointed four judges to the d.c. circuit, john roberts, janice rogers, janice rogers brown, tom griffith, and brett kavanaugh. there confirmation experiences were rather different from president clinton's nominees. look how long president clinton's nominees had to wait. george rogers waita four months. judge totale also waited four months. judge garland had 18-months while the argument over the caseload laid out. here is how long george w. bush's nominees had to wait. judge roberts, two years. , nearly two years. these are george w. bush's nominees. judge griffith, comparatively breakneck 13 months. and the winner of the democratic obstruction crowd, judge and 10gh, two years months. judge kavanaugh waited longer between nomination and confirmation that all 12 carter and reagan d.c. nominees combined. this leaves out an important .ame, miguel estrada that is because he was never confirmed. he withdrew his nomination after two years and four months in limbo after senate democrats filibustered his nomination seven times. for the first time by the way. word, i used the f filibuster. which is just as bad as the ot
