SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

[Handyman]

And during that investigation she as a prosecutor could give Judge immunity so he could not plead the 5th.

True dat

Kamala Harris didn't even get to speak.

Well, my mind has not changed.

He will be confirmed.

We as a nation said women don't matter again. Thomas has been a shining example of that and when he is gone Kavanaugh will carry the torch alone.

Favorite quotes/quips/one-liners regarding these recent events:

" ... intergalactic freak show ... "

" ... calling it a circus is unfair to clowns ... "

"The sane part of the country has been taken hostage by the insane part."

They're off the clock. Grassley is letting it roll "to the gavel". She could be going for more than five minutes right now. Why she left makes no sense.

Republicans not only gave away the House, but are willing to risk losing the Senate over this guy. Impressively stupid.

At least we know the other SCOTUS members are capable of meting out their own form of punishment. Kav will be assigned to write the least significant opinions, and I'll bet RBG doesn't invite him over for tea.

Those can be won back.
They're getting a guaranteed Branch for 30 years.

Long game.


And if you're wrong about Congress, they'll have all three.

This is pretty accurate. I'm guessing the Dems will do very well at mid terms, but they won't be able to do anything because that's how they roll.

Pretty sure we will see this same theatre when another judge needs to be replaced in the next six years.

Bottom line what this exposes to me is how much better at politics the Republicans are. Trump will love to have a democratic congress to play the foil. The rest of the Republicans after getting everything they needed from Trump the first two years will stand up for him if they maintain control of the senate, but will flip on him if they don't. He is annoying even to them I'm sure.

I know this won't happen, but imagine if Congress flips to the Democrats with a veto-proof majority. Then, theoretically, Congress could pass any bill they want and not worry about what Trump thinks (as long as it's SCOTUS proof).

This guy makes Thomas look like a Puritan.

Re: SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

If that's what's needed then yes. Why is this so difficult for you and the Republicans to understand? The process is truth. And uncovering the truth is what Dr. Ford wants and what most sane minded Americans want. Kavanaugh did the assault. If we need to prosecute him, and Judge to get at the truth then we should do so.

Ok. I don't think any D has suggested this course, but has rather asked for a reopening of the background investigation, which is one in which prosecutors don't run around granting immunity to anyone that can provide dirt on the subject. But setting that aside, we need a federal prosecutor for the Ramirez, claims. We need one for Avenatti's client. We need one for any and all uncorroborated claims against the nominee. In the future, when President Harris nominates a judge, we will need federal prosecutors, not just the FBI, investigating any and all uncorroborated claims, including a guy from Cleveland claiming he saw the nominee shooting heroin and ****ing an owl on the courthouse steps under a full moon.
Give him immunity and Roger Stone will certainly claim he sold coke to the dems next nominee last week. I don't think this is going to go well as a policy.

I'm okay with the owl part... I don't judge.

I don't think so this time...too many non Centrist old Dems. Lots of younger more Progressive people who hate all things Trump. They will fight.

It's actually a reference to a very old Buddy Hackett joke that I can't imagine anyone would know. I like to amuse myself sometimes, though.
