Brett Kavanaugh Speaks Out of Both Sides of His Mouth By andy J.S. Decepida Hereโs a then-vs-now contrast that makes the double-speak stark: Brett Michael Kavanaugh In the Clinton Era (1990s) In the Trump Era (2018-Now) Role Prosecutor under Kenneth Starr Supreme Court justice Stance Aggressively pursued impeachment over personal misconduct. Repeatedly sided with Trump in emergency appeals. Memo (1998): Urged Starr to grill Clinton with graphic sexual questions, calling his behaviour โcallous and disgusting.โ Key Vote(2024): Helped rule Trump immune from prosecution for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Public Speech(2025): Praised separation of powers, insisted no one should have too much authority. Principle Invoked: No one is above the law. Even a president should be held to account for lying under oath. In Practice: Executive deference. When Trump acts, the Court bends. Public Posture Legal purity over politics; critics were โsacrificing law and principle.โ Speaks of liberty and balance while reinforcing concentrated power. The โno one above the lawโ absolutist of the Clinton years became the โexecutive power deserves deferenceโ jurist of the Trump years. Same man, same voice โ but speaking out of both sides depending on which president (or party) is at stake. #LegalCamouflage
{๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฟ}: Kavanaughโs arc is #BothSidesNow โ once demanding Clinton be nailed for lying under oath, now shielding Trump from accountability while mouthing platitudes about checks on power. Not Joni Mitchellโs poetry, just judicial hypocrisy in robes. #PartisanInRobes
