Former Ginsburg Clerk Calls Kavanaugh The ‘Best’ Liberals Could Hope For

A self-described Hillary Clinton voter who clerked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg urged Democrats to reconsider their opposition of Brett Kavanaugh.

“If it were up to me, Justice Ginsburg would have all nine votes” on the Supreme Court, private appellate lawyer Lisa Blatt told the Senate Judiciary Committee.  “Judge Kavanaugh is the best choice that liberals can reasonably hope for in the circumstances,” she said, while noting that Republicans won the 2016 election.

Blatt, who was tapped to introduce Kavanaugh, described him as a “mentor.”

Blatt decried the Senate GOP’s treatment of Obama nominee Merrick Garland but urged Democratic senators not to hold that against Kavanaugh

    Sure just let by gones be by gones Thats what Republicans would do
    OH WAIT!!!

  3. I have seen commercials on cable TV, MSNBC, of a liberal female attorney who supports Kavanaugh. Not sure if it is she.

  4. In other words, Kavanaugh is the difference between getting mauled to death by rabid bears as opposed to being torn to shreds by blood-thirsty sharks…

  5. She is a lawyer who works for a firm that represents many republican interests and she will be arguing for those clients so its easy to see why she is full of shit.
