SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

Re: SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

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."

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.

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.

People want the truth, yet in the same post you declare that Kavanaugh did the assault. How do you know, without an investigation?
 
Re: SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

The GOP has never had a problem with endless investigations and federal prosecutors until just recently. How much time and money did Ken Start waste? How about the endless Benghazi hearings? How about how they are still looking into emails and the Trump Dossier? If the truth matters there it matters here too.

But again I am still not seeing where the problem is reopening the investigation and letting the FBI see what they can find? Why all of a sudden does everything need to be rushed? He can be confirmed in two weeks and nothing changes.

He has his opinion that he believes her that Kavanaugh did it. How is that different than anyone else. She met Scooby's burden of proof. Mine too if asked to decide I believe he did what she said he did.

He also wants to know more. Unlike most Scooby will say he was wrong if proven so. I want to know hence I want it looked into more.

Then clarify that, is all I'm saying. "I think Kavanaugh did it."

FTR, this goes the same for those who don't think Kavanaugh did it. Don't present it as fact; present it as an opinion. :)

We'd just end up disappointed with the Dems. We might get a federal law allowing some short term weak ineffective gun control ban. At best.
