Brett Kavanaugh now under FBI investigation

[cd98]

gorsuch was pre me too

What's amazing is that the Me Too started with Republicans like Charlie Rose, Weinstein, Russell Simmons, Tavis Smiley, and Matt Lauer.

[baseline bum]

Gorsuch was not a painful change for the left. He was replacing Scalia, and so that kept status quo. But Kavanaugh is another matter to them because he is replacing Kennedy, the swing vote of the group. Not only is there more urgency to stop him, but there is more urgency to de-legitimize him if he gets on the bench. Moreover, their base demands that they get in the mud and do whatever is necessary to stop this nomination from happening. If the Dems don't, they will hear it from their base.

That's why the Dems are scouring Yale and asking for people to come forward. That's also why they are helping people remember important facts that they forgot, like that Kavanaugh did it and not someone else.

You're such a ing partisan hack. The Gorsuch nomination was the one stolen from the Democrats that would have given them a 5-4 advantage in the Supreme Court if McConnell and the GOP didn't all of a sudden pretend the president didn't have any authority to nominate people to the Supreme Court. A Kavanaugh nomination just moves the Supreme Court from pretty hard right to very hard right.

this guy about to cry on fox? jesus, what a milk toast snowflake.

[cd98]

Gorsuch was replacing Merrick Garland, really. If we're talking about Democrats inventing a narrative out of thin air, there's no reason to believe they wouldn't have targeted Gorsuch as retaliation. Yet several Democrats voted to confirm him.

They also took heat for not fighting more. But the balance of the court didn't shift when Gorsuch was confirmed.

... is why Dems are so ing weak, get bullied around by Repugs

[baseline bum]

Also, if for some reason Kavanaugh is not confirmed and Dems retake the Senate, don't think for a second that the Dems will confirm any Trump nomination until after the 2020 election. They will stall for two years (unless he nominates Garland).

Why should they?

[baseline bum]

I think they'll go along with a candidate similar to Garland even if it's not Garland. They'll approve a moderate. Trump may have to find a nominee somewhere outside of the Heritage/Federalist Society litmus. That's not a bad thing.

Honestly the whole President-nominates-Senate-approves process needs to be re-examined.

I hope not. Republicans can't just decide to have a functioning government only when their guy has the presidency.

Partisan hack? I'm glad that you can see straight and that you have no partisan bias. And it wasn't stolen from them. You want to control the confirmation process, don't blow the Senate, like the Dems did. I do remember Harry Reid changing the rules to his favor when it suited him. Maybe you guys could be filibustering right now instead of trying to find people to make false accusations to stop the nomination.

[cd98]

Why should they?

I thought it was wrong to do, in your opinion. But maybe it's only wrong when it happens to your guys.

Harry Reid was forced to do that because republicans struck or oposed every single thing obama tried to do in there. It's sad that you cannot admit your bias since it's just so obvious. Have some self awareness.

That seatw as 100% certifiably stolen. Guy didn't even get a single meeting really? you're bordering on stupid now.

Oh and nice, you support a would-be rapist. Cherry on top.

Both sides have used the filibuster. It's pretty stupid to think that only one party used it. Using the filibuster means you have to compromise. But Harry Reid didn't want to compromise, so he got rid of the filibuster, despite being warned of the consequences.

Says a guy that is lock stop with the Clinton/Kennedy people. Your issue isn't with rape, it's with the political party.

Don't forget that the Me Too movement started with party toting Democrats (Weinstein et al). Those are the rapists. The ones that were funding Hillary's presidential campaign.

when have the Dems ever pulled a Gorsuch trick on the Dems?

After obstructing Obama/Dems for 8 years, McC then broke every rule, protocol, agreement in the Senate book to spite their hated knitter, deny him his rightful SCOTUS appointment, and reserve Scalia's seat for another hard right extremist like Gorsuch and K.

Obama had the power to appoint an interim judge to serve until 20 Jan 18, but he wimped out. That's the problem with the Dems, ing wimps, and as corrupt as the Repugs.

What the Party of Harry Reid doesn’t like changing the Senate rules?

Mitch goes in

damn, I've never seen Mitch so ing butthurt... of course the whole indignant play is all a show, he's one of the most cut throat politicians in DC

McConnell had been out of the news, but if he is going to resurface this reminded me to add him to the Most Punchable Faces list.

McC and the Repugs didn't actually filibuster.

Repugs just told the Dems were going filibuster every damn thing Dems wanted, and the Dems folded. 100% obstruction.

THAT's why Reid dropped the filibuster, but only in a limited fashion.

False Equivalence that Dems are just as bad as Repugs. G F Y

Mitch goes in

they did the same to Obama.

cd98 is seething mad because it has been pointed out that he's just ducks with better english.

I have no problem admitting I'm a democrat and most of the time I'll side with them but I'm also not a blind follower. I call a square a square no matter the politics.

Dont blame me for your shortcomings, guy. I get that republicans are more deviant and depraved so you are often hesitant to call them your own but you are them and you own them, pal.

But there was no rule for the timing of the confirmation of Garland. So Mitch didn’t break a rule, he just didn’t follow the norm. Harry Reid changed an actual rule. Point is you are ok with it, if done by Dems. Your stance isn’t on principle, it’s on party.

He's a seether, not a pleaser.

I have no problem admitting that I'm a democrat either and I'll side with them but I'm a seeing follower. I pound that square peg into the round hole too, man.

I blame people for their shortcomings, too. ing republicans are so ing evil and worthless. If they had their way, guys like us couldn't pretend to be girly, pal.

[Pavlov]

GODDAMMIT WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THIS NOMINATION THROUGH EVEN IF HE IS AN ABUSIVE INCEL PERV.

ESPECIALLY IF HE'S AN ABUSIVE INCEL PERV!

You think you aren’t biased. But bc I disagree with the smears I’m somehow defending the Republican Party on everything? I don’t even post in the other political threads. I only post on this one bc it’s interesting to me from a legal perspective. Every once in a while I get tired of the blind partisanship here and I throw a few punches just to show some hypocrisy that I see in the posts.
