Kavanaugh Stop

When ICE agents (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) violently harass or detain US citizens on the basis of racial profiling, particularly if they have a Latino appearance.

Named after Justice Brett Kavanaugh due to his comments in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo that immigration stops are a brief, minor inconvenience for US citizens. His assertion was ridiculous even under the facts of the case in question, and were repeatedly proven wrong in the aftermath.

I got two broken ribs in a Kavanaugh Stop, even after I showed ICE my ID

kavanaughing

To sneer angrily and bluster as a defense to an accusation for which you are guilty. To raise your voice, contort your face, and feign indignation as a tactic to scare an accuser in hopes to distract the truth. Usually enacted by privileged white men.

Upon realizing that he was about to lose his clients case, the lawyer tried kavanaughing his way through his final argument.

The Kavanaugh Standard

This refers to the fact that most U.S. citizens who vote for judges do not do research the candidates and instead choose based on superficial criteria. E.g. can they boof?

How did you pick judges when you voted yesterday?
I kinda just picked names that didnt sound like a lady or a foreigner.
Ahh...the Kavanaugh standard

Kavanaugh

A Kavanaugh is a person lying to get out of a bad situation.

Brett : I did not rubb my di*k against her !

Random dude in the jury : Wow , he's such a Kavanaugh, ya know!?

Kavanaugh

When someone on a video chat flushes the toilet but doesn't own up to it. He does like his beer...

"He totally Kavanaughed on the Zoom call the other day and the boss was NOT happy."

"Sorry I didn't flush, but you were on that FaceTime with your mom and I didn't want to Kavanaugh you."
