On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a court could uphold a life-without-parole sentence that a Mississippi court imposed on Brett Jones, a then 15-year-old who stabbed his grandfather to death. Bess Levin, writing for Vanity Fair, notes the hypocrisy of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who wrote the opinion but during his confirmation hearings said it was absurd to judge him on who he was in high school.
Kavanaugh, who said it was absurd to judge him based on who he was in high school, thinks children convicted of crimes should die in prison. https://t.co/YnMdeCKgkM

Kalb embedded these tweets in her piece as backup:
Brett Kavanaugh thinking youthful transgressions should follow you until you die in prison. I would laugh but it's not even a little bit funny https://t.co/2kWyyZJr3W

BRETT KAVANAUGH: I made mistakes in my youth but I've changed since then
ALSO BRETT KAVANAUGH: Lock these kids up forever, bad people never change. https://t.co/CGsTJy9iWo

Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh just voted to reinstate life without parole for children, but this man was CONFIRMED as a Supreme Court justice largely based on conservatives excusing him for his âyouthful errorsâ and âyouthful mistakes.â Absolutely ridiculous.

Not lost on me that Brett Kavanaugh is treating a 15yo as an adult by punishing him to life in prison while simultaneously holding his own teenage behavior to a totally different standard of like, juvenile piggishness. Ok.

âThe Trump-appointee who asked not to be judged by his high school yearbook has a different point of view for kids who arenât Tobin, Squi, and PJ,â writes Kalb. Remind us who Kavanaugh murdered in high school?
lol you can't even make fun of this. it makes fun of itself. https://t.co/WGWWSrLNZN

Brett Kavanaugh did not say that it was absurd to judge him based on who he was in high school.
He said that he didn't do it.
Bess Levin is begging for karma's judgment on this one. https://t.co/ger6CDKzzz

Maybe, just maybe, thereâs an important difference between yearbook writings and stabbing your grandfather to death. https://t.co/CjLW7vQ74h

It was a 6-3 ruling. The first two trash sentences of your article laid the groundwork for the rest of this trash article. What a joke of âjournalismâ you are. Please.

Progressivism is a mental disorder. Why? Because it takes someone with one to type the above with a straight face and think they are making a good point.

Kavanaugh said it was absurd to judge him based on *patently false accusations of what he did NOT do in high school*

This headline implies not only that he made this statement, but that he admitted to being a rapist as a minor, neither of which is true. pic.twitter.com/KX6v8G8Rsb

No. He said he didn't do was he was accused of doing. There was no evidence to contradict him.

Nothing about this tweet is accurate. Nothing.
It's so unbelievably dishonest.
— Pounce de LeĂłn (@RightAllTheTime) April 24, 2021
Hey @VanityFair , he never said that. When will we see a correction?

Who did Kavanaugh murder in high school?

Stupid article

I'm not clicking on this. There's no way it's any less ridiculous inside.

This a dumb tweet written by a dumb, dishonest person.
Ruling that the Constitution doesn't prohibit a life sentence doesn't mean he's in favor of imposing said sentence.

Ridiculous.
