Brett Kavanaugh Speaks
Out of Both Sides of His Mouth

By andy J.S. Decepida

Hereโ€™s 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 โcallous and disgusting.โž	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 โsacrificing law and principle.โž	Speaks of liberty and balance while reinforcing concentrated power.

The โno one above the lawโž absolutist of the Clinton years became the โexecutive power deserves deferenceโž 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

{๐—ฎ๐™…๐™Ž๐˜ฟ}: Kavanaughโ€™s 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 Mitchellโ€™s poetry, just judicial hypocrisy in robes. #PartisanInRobes
