On Thursday, Sen. Kamala Harris posted a fairly long thread on why she believes the Senate should vote against the appointment of Kyle Duncan to the federal bench.
The Senate may soon vote on the nomination of Kyle Duncan for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. This man has spent much of his career advocating against LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, immigrants’ rights, and voting rights.

Remember the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case where corporate bosses argued for the ability to block their employees' access to birth control? The lead lawyer was Kyle Duncan.

We do remember the Hobby Lobby case a lot better than Harris does, as it had nothing to do with Hobby Lobby “blocking access” to employees’ birth control. But we have to remember Harris speaks Democrat: if the government doesn’t pay for it, that means it’s “blocking access.”
No, I dont. I dont remember any Supreme Court case ever with those facts. https://t.co/t0UcJRjVWA

I don't remember that case, because that case, as described here, does not exist. https://t.co/PDj0lHOmjh

Senator Harris, with all due respect you are completely misstating the facts at issue in the Hobby Lobby case. https://t.co/ul8GqDFwTV

Government not buying something means access is blocked. I guess you're consistent. https://t.co/AbgYh2U6Gm

"Block their employees' access to birth control."
An actual lawyer said this. https://t.co/kgfMod8Fm4

? ? ? You are such a sad liar. That is not at all what that case was about. How in the world do you have a law degree? https://t.co/iqUHxJH7Wp

I don't have a law degree and this is a blatantly false characterization of that case https://t.co/cWFzJZTlu8

That's a flat out lie, Senator. What a disgrace you are. https://t.co/4fAvUB1oOJ

Lie much? Or is it just a total lack of ability to grasp reality? https://t.co/SjSsNvSYZS

That isn't even remotely what the suit was about, and wasn't even remotely the holding off the majority opinion.
What sort of lying pile of crap are you??? https://t.co/NCcyWGfgTr

It wasn't blocking them from accessing birth control, they just didn't' want to pay for certain types of it. I can't decide if you deliberately forget or lie about these things. https://t.co/3fiTzOLrUq

No, I remember a Supreme Court case where Hobby Lobby argued that the company shouldn't have to *pay* for *certain kinds* of birth control.
This wouldn't "block employees' access to birth control" any more than my not buying you a drink would block your access to alcohol. https://t.co/U1Yye53jD1

“Block access” = Covered 16 types but asked not to be forced to cover the morning after pill (wh/ employees were free to get on their own).
“Corporate bosses” = family owned company
Oh, and the Supreme Court said he was right.
Other than that, you nailed it, Senator. https://t.co/Zo10Ss8dgt

Wow. That's a deliberate lie. The employees were perfectly free, as adults, to pay for any form of birth control they wanted. This is the sort of "feminism" that would turn adult women into helpless children. https://t.co/aVRdRIj4jt
