Call off the nomination! Laurence Tribe has taken it upon himself to represent the Founding Fathers who can’t be here to speak for themselves, and it’s not good for Brett Kavanaugh:
The Founding Fathers wouldn’t want Kavanaugh’s confirmation to continue. @tribelaw explains why: https://t.co/kNJmsFq60v

Aw shucks!

The Founding Fathers put into place rules so that he would be confirmed upon a Senate vote. Outrage & bitchiness wasn’t considered.

Not according to Laurence Tribe!
Our Founding Fathers wouldn't want liberal statism.
How do I know?

Lawrence Tribe, although maybe once respected, has totally lost his mind over Trump. You can't take him seriously anymore. https://t.co/ZosnQIC34p

The Left: "The founders were racists slaveholders that didn't let non-property owners and women vote!"

Tribe is an insane person who thinks Madison would want a bench full of Sotomayors. I think he was a mentor to Obama which explains a lot. https://t.co/sg927ctliv

Here’s something interesting:
