Even Kavanaugh took a moment to stroke Trump's ego.

“No president has ever consulted more widely or talked to more people from more backgrounds to seek input for a Supreme Court nomination.”

— Judge Brett Kavanaugh, quoted by Axios, after being nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice by President Trump.

No president has ever done that. No president has been so utterly ignorant as to have needed to do that. He just told them he needed a Justice that will keep him out of jail, otherwise they could pick whoever they want. And so yes, a LOT of people were involved in your nomination: the entire Federalist Society, lobbyists and every right wing business interest who wanted to make sure they will win in front of SCOTUS next time they get sued for pollution, labor abuses, fraud, etc. Yep, you're a real group decision all right.

Not surprising. Kavanaugh's allegation that no other President sought as much input is a bald-face republican lie.

republicans have MAJOR ISSUES with telling the truth. They are the party of lies.
