Alternate headline: “Woman who uses vast amounts of fossil fuels and hasn’t seemed to make any changes in her own life to reduce her carbon footprint yammers about something”
(Daily Caller) Former Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton wants supporters to tell their senators to vote against Judge Brett Kavanaugh becoming the newest justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Clinton’s main reason for opposing President Donald Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee? Man-made global warming.
“Replacing Kennedy with Kavanaugh would swing the Court to a new, hard-right majority that would rule against curbing greenhouse gases for years—maybe decades—that we can’t afford to waste on inaction,†Clinton wrote in a series of tweets published Friday.
Clinton’s criticism mirrors those of Democratic lawmakers and environmentalists who see Kavanaugh as a roadblock to policies aimed at fighting global warming. One prominent Democratic senator even said Kavanaugh “is the next Scott Pruitt,†referring to the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Clinton and others also worry Kavanaugh’s lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court could frustrate a future Democratic administration’s climate policy goals. The failed presidential candidate cited several examples of Kavanaugh ruling against climate regulations.
Here are a few of her tweets
This year has seen record-high temperatures across the world, the biggest wildfire in California history, and an unprecedented red tide in Florida.
It's urgent that we act to curb climate change—and Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court could make progress virtually impossible.

What she really means is that it would be harder for Democrats to institute middle and lower class harming taxes and fees, along with more control of citizens by the Central Government. But, hey, consider that she did save some fossil fuels and reduced her carbon footprint a bit by failing to visit several states, like Wisconsin, that she needed in order to win the Presidency.
Surprised the Heifer didn’t claim that Kavanaugh would bring back slavery.
