{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: Kavanaugh’s arc is #BothSidesNow — once demanding Clinton be nailed for lying under oath, now shielding Trump from accountability while mouthing platitudes about checks on power. Not Joni Mitchell’s poetry, just judicial hypocrisy in robes. #PartisanInRobes
Brett Kavanaugh Speaks Out of Both Sides of His Mouth By andy J.S. Decepida Here’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 ❝callous and disgusting.❞ 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 ❝sacrificing law and principle.❞ Speaks of liberty and balance while reinforcing concentrated power. The ❝no one above the law❞ absolutist of the Clinton years became the ❝executive power deserves deference❞ jurist of the Trump years. Same man, same voice — but speaking out of both sides depending on which president (or party) is at stake. #LegalCamouflage
