Leid Stories--U.S. Senator: 'Kavanaugh Appointment Proves Unprecedented Levels of Corruption at Highest Levels of Our Government'--10.10.18

Kavanaugh's appointment, the senator said, shows that even once-revered institutions like the U.S. Supreme Court and the presidency are more than comfortable with corruption.
