Senator Ben Cardin

Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States. I appreciate your input on this important issue.

I take seriously the Senate’s Constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on Presidential judicial nominations. Every decision should be accompanied by a thorough consideration of the nominee’s qualifications, record, and history. Based on what I have seen and unfortunately still have been prevented from seeing on Judge Kavanaugh, I decided to oppose his nomination to the Supreme Court.

I joined many of my colleagues in asking that the confirmation hearings be postponed until the Senate could have adequate time to review all the crucial pieces of Judge Kavanaugh’s record, as is the norm for all other Supreme Court nominees. Unfortunately, we were not given all the information, nor the adequate time necessary for such an important decision.

Our Constitution created the Supreme Court as an independent check and balance against both the executive and legislative branches of government. It has always been my intention to maintain this critical independence and ensure that the highest court in our nation is able to work in the best interests of the Constitution and the American people. This nomination is certain to leave behind an impact on our society that will be felt for decades. I was concerned as to whether Judge Kavanaugh would be an independent voice on the Supreme Court defending individual Constitutional rights against special interests.

Thank you again for contacting me and sharing your concerns regarding the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Hearing from constituents such as you helps me understand the issues that affect Marylanders.

Judge Maciarello Clears The Air On Daily Times Mistake

Matt Maciarello

Good evening friends. Today the Daily Times published a story about President Trump and Attorney General Brian Frosh. In the story the paper used my picture which was placed next to a large print, anti-Trump quote from former Attorney General Doug Gansler. As I have received numerous calls and texts about the confusion this caused, I am hoping my friends will spread the word that I did not make any such comment about President Trump and would never comment publicly about individuals running for office or those holding office. (To do so would be a breach of judicial ethics and protocol.) The Daily Times has apologized for their error and the confusion this caused and I accept it—mistakes happen and to err is human!

Publishers Notes: Don't sweat it Matt, barely anyone gets that paper any more.

At 1.14pm on October 2, Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi walked into theSaudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul and off the face of this Earth. He vanished as if he had never existed. But the fallout from his disappearance grows by the day.

It is now widely believed that Mr Khashoggi was killed in the building by members of a 15-strong Saudi regime hit squad that had flown into the city earlier the same day.

On Monday, police and prosecutors inspected the consulate building in Istanbul for more than eight hours.

Now Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said they found fresh paint in the building where Mr Khashoggi vanished.
