Kavanaugh’s Confirmation (Opening Arguments podcast OA209)

Today’s Rapid Response Friday is all about the conclusion of the Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. What did we learn? What’s still outstanding? Are liberals really guilty of trying to bribe Susan Collins? And, most importantly: what can we do about any of this?? Listen and find out!

We begin, however, with an important Andrew Was Wrong.

After that, we delve into all the week’s issues surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, including: (1) the status of Kavanaugh’s nomination; (2) whether liberal crowdfunding efforts really count as efforts to “bribe” Republican Sen. Susan Collins; (3) an in-depth look at Kavanaugh’s written answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee; (4) a shockingly misleading question from Opening Arguments’s good friend, Sen. Ted Cruz; and finally (5) a preview of next Tuesday’s discussion of a weird case called Glucksburg. Phew!

After all that, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #93 regarding double jeopardy. Did Thomas learn enough from the Ashley Judd Law’d Awful Movie of the same name?? We’ll find out! And, of course, if you’d like to play along with us, just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag. We’ll release the answer on next Tuesday’s episode along with our favorite entry!
