Kavanaugh was on the legal team that helped stop the 2000 Florida recount

"Kavanaugh has close ties with Former President George W. Bush. In 2000, he was on the legal team that helped to stop the Florida recount and secure Bush the presidency. Three years later, he became White House Staff Secretary. In 2004, he married Ashley Estes, who served as Bush’s personal secretary.

Kavanaugh and Bush were close enough that in his memoir, Bush recalled how Kavanaugh convinced him to nominate John Roberts to the Supreme Court in 2005 over two other contenders. A year later, Kavanaugh was confirmed to his D.C. Circuit seat."

No wonder Bush the dummy congratulated the dump on this appointment

They are all together in this mess to end our voting rights and all other civil rights.

Did Bush the dummy like it when dump dumped on his old man? a thousand points of light, what's that?

Never go soft on any fucking republican - they are snakes in the grass just waiting to strike

They've got the soulless tactics to grab power. We've got to work very hard to wrest Congress away from the fascist grip.
