Hawaii U.S. Senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono voted against Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday.

Sen. Hirono is displeased with the confirmation vote.

“Today was a historic vote, and not in a good way because we’re sending another person to the supreme court with this huge cloud over his head,” Sen. Hirono said.

“He showed us he is a believer in conspiracy theories,” Sen. Hirono said. “He accused all the Democrats of lying in wait to do him in. Is that the kind of clear thinking we expect of a justice in the Supreme Court? I think not.”

She says many of the protestors in the Senate Chamber today were sexual assault survivors and she’s encouraging people to vote.

“They are very angry, and they’re going to be very determined,” she said.

“The Democrats have tried everything we can to create a much better bipartisan approach to how we’re going to deal with these Supreme Court nominees,” she said. “But this is yet another nominee who has been groomed by the federalist society and the heritage foundation who, over decades, have groomed these very conservative, ideologically, outcome-driven judges to sit on the federal courts at all levels.”

“What’s going to happen in this country, is that people are connecting those dots that these judges are going to be making decisions that will impact our healthcare, our environmental protections, LBGT protections, voting rights, civil rights, not to mention in Hawaii issues relating to native Hawaiians, Alaska natives and American Indians,” Sen. Hirono said.

Sen. Hirono adding the FBI investigation and report was a sham.

“If you’re going to have an FBI investigation, it should be complete, it should be thorough, and that was not it with this so-called investigation. It was a sham,” she said.

Former Republican lieutenant governor and Judge Duke Aiona says he’s happy Kavanaugh was confirmed, and believes he’ll do a good job.

“I know some Native Hawaiians have some concerns, but when you talk about a judicial nominee, if you want someone to be exactly how you want them to rule, then you’re not looking for justice,” he said.

He says he was disappointed with Hirono throughout the hearings.

“I think Mazie doesn’t have much room to talk if she thinks it’s a scam,” Aiona said.

“The FBI involvement in this was simply to get statements, not to draw any conclusions.”

He says being a judge is transformational.

“Justice Roberts, for example, he was supposed to be that conservative nominee. Well he ended up writing some decisions that I wouldn’t say were in-line with what conservatives thought they were in regards to the Affordable Care Act,” he said.

“He was confirmed, let’s move forward,” he continued.
