Alaska's governor, lieutenant governor oppose Kavanaugh nomination

[wvit1001]

Alaska’s governor and lieutenant governor have come out against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, a move that could put pressure on Alaska's Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski to oppose him as well.

Gov. Bill Walker and Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott, both independents, said in a joint statement that Kavanaugh's confirmation would pose “risks” to aspects of the country’s healthcare and labor laws given the sexual assault allegation lodged against him.

“Mr. Kavanaugh’s record does not demonstrate a commitment to legal precedent that protects working families,” they said.

The two leaders from Alaska said their administration has made expanding access to affordable healthcare and "protecting the rights of working Alaskans" among their top priorities. Walker and Mallott also warned that if confirmed, Kavanaugh could jeopardize laws including the Indian Child Welfare Act and the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, among others.

The governor and lieutenant governor further called for a review of an allegation of sexual assault leveled against Kavanaugh to occur because the Senate votes on his confirmation.

They are in the opposing party.  They do not represent Alaskan values or views.  That's why they are going to lose big time in their bid for reelection.  Murkowski now knows to vote FOR Kavanaugh.

Funny.  When did Alaskan values veer so far away from American values?

[Dan]

Who says they have?

Apparently you have, Dan.

anchoragedan's opinionated tommyrot: They are from the opposing party. They do not represent Alaskan values. That's why blah blah blah blah....


Yeah...Right.

Sit down and shut the fuck up, anchoragedan!

HAHAHAHA

[wmdn_bs]

They were duly elected.  According to Trump supporters, that is a clear indicator they do represent Alaskan values.

I don’t know if you’ll even hear this over there in the U.S.S.A., so I’m
letting you know what’s being learned.


Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, has a brother who worked in the
law firm that paid Fusion GPS and set up the Trump Tower meeting—Ralph
Blasey III. Don’t know if he was involved directly yet, but what a hell of a
coincidence.


Worse, guess who the judge was that presided over the foreclosure
proceedings of her parents’ home? Judge Martha G. Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh’s
mother.


According to others at the party—kind of like the Duke Lacrosse
boys—Kavanaugh wasn’t even there.

What these Progressives will do to destroy people is scary. Even if the guy had
tried to take off the girl’s bathing suit top—that used to be called a ‘date’—not
rape. And unlike the real pigs on the left—Clinton, Weinstein, Moonves,
Rose, Lauer, and roughly 78 others—instead of busloads of babes grabbing
their pearls screaming ‘Me too” Kavanaugh's ex-girlfriends are screaming,
“Not him.”

Glad to be in Poland. What a mess! Got to get rid of these Progressives before
they kill America.

Apparently you have, Dan.

Nope.  Alaska voted the same way America voted.

[Dan]

anchoragedan's opinion: They are from the opposing party.

Nope.  It is a fact they are not Republicans.

They do not represent Alaskan values.

True.  They confiscated Alaskans' money and they do not approve.

Yeah...Right.

Yep.  Right.

Sit down and shut the fuck up, anchoragedan!

No.

[Dan]

They were duly elected.

And will be duly ousted.

According to Trump supporters, that is a clear indicator they do represent Alaskan values.

Nope.  Alaskans agree with Trump supporters who believe in due process and the validity of elections.  TDS libs do not.

Alaskans elected them Dan, not all of America. They may reject them when it comes time for the next election, just as I predict Trump will be rejected by double digits in 2020, but they were elected because of their values.
