We Still Don’t Like Kavanaugh

In 2016, Brett Kavanaugh told the American Enterprise Institute in an interview that he would like to see Morrison v. Olsen overturned. This  SCOTUS decision affirms that the status of an independent counsel as operating outside the control of the executive branch, is constitutional. The current Department of Justice regulations under which the title Independent Counsel was changed to Special Counsel also relies on the SCOTUS decision as its basis for protection from executive control. Kavanaugh explicitly states that he would like to overturn this decision.


Action:

Contact your Senators and say:

• no Senate business - especially no confirmations, especially no SCOTUS confirmations - until Trump releases his financial statements;
  
• no confirmation of any SCOTUS nominee who is on the record as saying that he does not support the independence of the Special Counsel; i.e.
  
• DO NOT CONFIRM KAVANAUGH!
