Kavanaugh SCOTUS Senate Judicial Hearing

[jackstar7]

I'm watching on and off here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?44970...ng-supreme-court-nominee-brett-kavanaugh&live

This is decidedly partisan in the worst way possible. Chairman Grassley doesn't even admit to his own request for specific documents that has not been met.

While the in-room protesters aren't helping, I get their frustration.

The circus of Washington D.C. politics just doesn't get any better than this. To see the losers in the Democratic Party snivel and whine is political comedy at it's finest. To hear the well planned and orchestrated professional "protesters" in the gallery attempt to derail the hearings is modern politics at it's best. The Democrats may as well admit they have nothing and no reason to oppose Kavanaugh, but really want to stop his confirmation in the worst possible way.
They started the adversarial confirmation process with Judge Bork and continued it with the high tech lynching of Justice Thomas, it's about time the Republicans give them a taste of their own medicine.

Republicans corrupt everything they touch.

The only issue I can see derailing Kavanaugh is his lying during his earlier confirmation hearings. He'd earlier said he'd had no involvement at all in the 'enhanced interrogation' techniques discussion during his time in the GWB administration. Turns out he was, even to the point of discussing how to position the decision before any potential supreme court cases.

That's where I'd hammer him today. His poll numbers aren't great - at least in comparison to normal nominees - so hammering his earlier lying to get through a confirmation would possibly lower them further. He's a political hack and will vote straight down the line for favored corporations and Republicans

The simple fact is, however, that whether it's Kavanaugh or not, it's going to be Someone Trump nominates. We just have to get used to that.

The medicine like the Republicans did with Garland

Any iota of respect I had for Senator Kennedy from LA just go flushed down the toilet on that idiotic rant about the working poor and then patting himself on the back for the tax cut act.

What a piece of shit (In case it isn't clear, I mean Kavanaugh).

What a piece of shit.

Yes, trying to score political points on the murder of your daughter is as low as it gets. The guy is a fuckwad.

I dont know how to respond to this. I think you're a psychopath.

Because that father predicted Kavanaugh would scoff and turn his back on him? Maybe a decent human would shake his hand and say "I'm sorry for your loss"

You are a moron

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you?

Your brain needs an enema.

Taj has really gone off the deep end. He needs serious help.

Why was that guy there in the first place other than to campaign for gun control which is making a political statement? Being a Judge they should be neutral and present themselves that way. Outside the courthouse in a non-work environment it might have made sense for him to shake his hand or give him a light hug but while interviewing for a job that requires neutrality of thought, he handled it the correct way. There was also security around him and they may have and most likely told him to refrain from engaging with anybody that approaches him.

It is silly how childish the wailing and political grandstanding was at that hearing from the observers and the committee.

He’s in the Mariana Trench on his way to Challenger Deep..

Yeah. It's really gross of a person to want to make a human connection with a potential member of the government whose work can greatly affect the lives of so many other humans. Crass really.

Right, bro?

Yeah, grandstanding. Guy lost his fucking daughter and is trying to do whatever he can so that other parents don't have to go through the same shit.

Snubbing a handshake is now "acting neutral". Do you even believe the bullshit you're typing?

To crawl under a pile of whale shit, if he can find one.

Yeah. Hopefully they can find more angles and zoom in and enhance so we get the final word from the white house press dept, the last bastion of honesty and integrity in this hostile media environment.

Right, bro?

 

[soundforbjt]

Is that Condie Rice behind Kavanaugh, yep it’is.

Bingo. Amazing how this was lost on them.

You mean the guy that gleefully admits to his desire to grenade babies crawling through tunnels? nah....

Sorry, but hitting up a Supreme Court nominee with a political issue at his hearing is pure grandstanding. The guy is an asshole. Fuck him and fuck you.
