Rep. Liz Cheney said in a tweet Saturday morning that she shares a “fear” that due process may be dead if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is not confirmed.
The comment from the Wyoming Republican follows Thursday’s hearing involving Kavanaugh and the woman who accused him of sexual misconduct more than 30 years ago, Christine Blasey Ford.
Cheney, responding to a tweet from Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, said she shares MacCallum’s fear that if Kavanaugh “goes down” that it would set an “unfair precedent where evidence is unnecessary.”

As a mom of daughters and sons, I fear this, too. https://t.co/HMOZdCQuig

Cheney, the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is seeking reelection in Wyoming’s “at-large” district and has a projected 99 percent chance of winning, according to FiveThirtyEight.
This is not the first time Cheney has weighed in on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Earlier this week, she tweeted her support under the #ConfirmKavanaughNow hashtag and criticized the Judicial Committee Democrats for the way they handled the hearing.
Judge Kavanaugh ferociously defended his innocence, his family and our constitutional system. He was absolutely right to call the Dems out for their disgraceful behavior. @SenFeinstein and the other committee Dems should be ashamed. #ConfirmKavanaughNow
