      Judge Kavanaugh refused to say whether or not he agreed Roe v Wade & Planned Parenthood v Casey were correctly decided or assure me he believed these cases should be left alone That should send shivers down the spine of any American who believes in reproductive freedom for women

      Judge Kavanaugh had a special obligation to make his views on this topic clear, given the president’s litmus test that he would only appoint justices who would overturn Roe. On that obligation, Judge Kavanaugh failed spectacularly.

      A similar pattern played out on other key issues. I repeatedly asked him to reassure me that he believes the Affordable Care Act and the vital protections for pre-existing conditions to be constitutional. He refused to do so.

      And on the issue of executive power, Judge Kavanaugh would not say that the President must comply with a subpoena or provide records.

      The next SCOTUS Justice will have immense influence over the lives of Americans for generations to come. Unfortunately, Kavanaugh was either unwilling or unable to state that he wouldn't upend centuries of precedent & disturb well-established rights of the American people.
