THIS privileged white male has never been qualified to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. Please sign this petition from UltraViolet to the U.S. Senate telling them to reject brett kavanaugh, and feel free to add your own comments, here are mine...
"Being a horny, privileged, wealthy white male may be enough to qualify someone for the Supreme Court for this administration but the rest of the country doesn't want a sexual predator on the bench. I am proud my two Virginia Senators, Mark Warner D and Tim Kaine D have already decided to vote against brett kavanaugh. I expect a majority of the U.S. Senate to reject kavanaugh for the Supreme Court."
This is huge news. Yesterday (16 SEP 18), Christine Blasey Ford came forward publicly about her experience of being sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Thanks to her bravery, we now know that Kavanaugh, in addition to being a political danger to women, is a sexual predator.1
Ford’s story is horrifying. During a party in high school, she described how Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, tried to pull off her clothing, and covered her mouth as she tried to scream.2 
Kavanaugh's nomination was already on the rocks before Ford came forward with her story. But now, the outcry over Ford's allegations is putting pressure on every senator to come out against Kavanaugh. In just 24 hours following the release of Ford's story, Republican Senators Jeff Flake and Bob Corker have joined Democrats in calling for Kavanaugh's nomination to be delayed.3
If every Democrat and just a few Republicans come out against Kavanaugh's nomination, we have a real chance to stop this man from a lifetime nomination to the Supreme Court. Send the Senate a clear message: Brett Kavanaugh has no place on the Supreme Court of the United States. We only have a few days to stop him.
Tell the Senate: "A sexual predator does not belong on the Supreme Court. Publicly oppose Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and stop the vote on his confirmation."

Rumors first arose of Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct last week when a letter Ford sent to her members of Congress, Senator Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), was brought to the Senate Judiciary Committee and leaked to the press. In the letter, which detailed Kavanaugh’s attempt to violently assault her while they were both high school students, she requested to remain anonymous, but after a Republican-led effort to smear her and discredit her allegations, she is now speaking publicly.4
It is crucial that we have Christine Blasey Ford’s back. It is crucial that we believe women when they speak out about sexual assault. Let’s be blunt--the Senate failed to listen carefully to Anita Hill in 1991, and as a result, at least one accused sexual predator already has a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court.5 It’s no surprise that the predator-in-chief Trump has nominated an abuser. Now, it's up to the Senate to stop them.
Thank you for speaking out!
