Amnesty International Calls for Halt to Kavanaugh Nomination

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

"Amnesty International is deeply concerned about Brett Kavanaugh’s record on a range of other human rights issues, including sexual and reproductive rights.”

Yes they are
Or maybe and this may be a difficult concept for you to grasp Amnesty International are a human rights organisation and believe that Kavanaugh's record shows that he doesn't share that regard.
You mean like how the ACLU is "non-partisan"? Don't make me laugh.

I know you don't like conservatism, but "______ is literally killing women" is a meme not real life.
We're talking about Amnesty International not the ACLU.

According to Amnesty International's OWN website, there priority campaigns are banning guns and opening the boarder. They use more flowery language, but that's there goals. It sure is coincidental that Amnesty International's Issues, movements, and talking points are 99% similar to the Democratic Party's.

By banning guns you mean preventing unfettered access to firearms and by opening border you mean treating refugees like human beings rather than scum.

Destroying a real enumerated human right to protect a recently made up one is not something I can get behind. Sure does sound like a Democrat platform tho.

As I have been told in this forum already, the situation in South Africa does not warrant refugee status for South Africans in general or White South Africans in particular, so the same applies to Mexicans. No war, no natural disaster, no genocide, No refugees. Just because your country sucks, doesn't mean you get to pile into America.

''Just because your country sucks, doesn't mean you get to pile into America.''

As a European who has to deal with this on a day to day basis, I couldn't put it better myself.

Try to learn some critical thinking skills here is what Amnesty actually say
Across the United States, gunshots are fired every day. Lives are lost or forever changed in a matter of moments. Over 106 people die a day from gun violence. In 2016, more than 38,000 people were killed by a firearm.

Simply put, insufficient laws and unfettered access to guns are jeopardizing our right to live and to feel safe.

You have the right to go about your daily life in security, free from fear. You have the right to be free from discrimination, including from disproportionate rates of violence. And most fundamentally: You have the right to live.

No one’s rights can be considered secure as long as our leaders fail to do anything about gun violence. That’s where we come in.

With this report and campaign, we aim to offer steps that can be taken to fulfill human rights obligations and prevent violations, support life-saving solutions, amplify the voices of impacted communities who have been doing this work for decades, and drive a national dialogue using the framework of universally recognized human rights.
So asking for proper gun control you know like most countries have isn't a terrible thing. Nor is it a sign that Amnesty International US are under the control of the Democrats.

In the face of this humanitarian crisis, governments around the world are not doing enough to help. In the U.S., the Trump administration has implemented successive refugee bans and various administrative policies that are shutting the door on refugees. Layers of additional security screening measures and onerous new biographical data collection have severely restricted refugee admissions: a death by a thousand cuts. These bans and policies disproportionately affect Muslim refugees and are effectively dismantling the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

But the U.S. is also restricting the number of refugees who can resettle here. Every year, the president determines the number of refugees that can be admitted for the coming fiscal year. In 2018, President Trump set that number at 45,000 — the lowest ceiling since the U.S. refugee program was established in 1980. At the current rate, the U.S. will admit fewer than 25,000 refugees in 2018, another new record — the lowest number of refuges resettled since the modern U.S. refugee program began. This is after the Trump administration slashed the number of refugees allowed into the country by nearly half in 2017.

This is a political crisis created by bad policies, and the attacks on resettlement harm all refugees.

The U.S. is turning its back on some of the world’s most vulnerable, setting an example for other nations to follow.
At no point do they say let in let in all the Mexicans, what they are calling for is for refugees (people felling war and disaster) to be treated fairly.

Now getting back to the main point of this thread, Amnesty's call which is actually very rare should be taken as yet another sign of Kavanaugh's unsuitability.

Guys, why are you arguing with antiboyscout? Facts don't matter to alt-right guys, only how loudly and bullheadedly you can proclaim your baseless claims.

"The U.S. has not been living up to this commitment. Every year, tens of thousands of people come to the U.S. and ask for asylum. They are refugees in search of protection. Many come to the U.S. southern border."
It is about opening the boarder with Mexico.

Rare huh?
