Kavanaugh SCOTUS Senate Judicial Hearing

[zinfamous]

So, since we now have some absurd precedent of a president being stripped of his constitutional powers to nominate a justice to SCOTUS because he is "black and will gone in 11 months anyway," is it at all reasonable to look skeptically at the decisions of man that had already been usurped in his powers as president?

We now know that Trump is, actually, no longer president. His own appointed ball-lickers have been presidenting behind his back. Seems to me that this is a rather dire situation to be in, and no hearings for something important like a SCOTUS justice should be held when the nominating POTUS has been stripped of his powers.

What say the constitution?

Legitimate viewpoint but GOP and their supporters care more about Russia than this so called "constitution".

Sadly, he's not the only one. There are a few posters here (who aren't trump supporters), that want a dog and pony show even though they already know the outcome. Apparently they are cool with fake wrestling so long as the story is good.

It hits them in the feels. Feeling like something is actually happening is enough.

This man for effing President. Folks we have reached DEFCON 1

Here's Booker's link to the 4 emails he was talking about. Looks like he didn't read them because they show Kavanaugh is exactly the opposite of a racist.

What is in the material that justifies it being hidden?


Edit- then there's the 102K that Trump had declared privilege to where no such privilege exists. Saying "make it so" isn't one of them.

Can you show me where you thought booker was implying kavanaugh was racist?

This is all a show. Booker had approval early this morning to release these emails. Risking his seat in the Senate? 'I am Spartacus'? What a fucking clown!

Not much...just the list of lynchings that Kavanaugh personally attended.

Indeed. The point was that the hiding of material was capricious, arbitrary and that the Republicans supported it anyway.

I don't know, bit that wasn't the point of Booker bringing them up; they were 'damning'.

The Senator from Texas is keen on going after a non violation quite eagerly, but I agree, this is a show but not a hearing.

It would appear you have access to information no one else has. Trump might consider that treason.

 

[The_Maestro]

Can you show me where you thought booker was implying kavanaugh was racist?

The fact that the theme of the emails was racial profiling. Unless you see something 'damning' in any of them?

 

[Viper1j]

Are you likewise impressed by the passion of pro wrestlers?

I don't watch wrestling.

I haven't had a chance to read through and think about them so I can't render a fair determination either way. I were asked to vote I wouldn't be able to as there would be no time consider the candidate for good or ill. Of course I can make some determinations based on reversals which give the appearance of currying favor for the appointment, but I'd rather see what there is to see and let Americans do so for all non-classified material, of which there is none according to Trump's attorney. Appropriate redactions are and always have been a given regarding personal information.

Assuming, of course, that Trump wasn't in attendance as well.

What about gladiator movies?

So no, you don't have anything to back up your claim, other than your feels.

The point is that there is a huge stash of information that is/was being blocked from being released from which would be good to have to judge the character and the record of a person who will hold a position in government, for life, that has the capability to consequentially impact this country in ways you can't even imagine.

I would hope that any non partisan hack would approve of releasing such documents, especially when it's clear that there is zero reason they should be classified in the first place.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

He doesn't have to be anywhere or in the possession of facts. All he needs is to be pissed off.

 

[ivwshane]

I'll help you out then. Wrestling is fake and scripted with a pre determined outcome.

Do you get the analogy now?

You're no fun, you fell right over.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

You're no fun, you fell right over.

I admit to being purposefully frustrating at times. One of my many failings

BTW, I believe that Corwyn isn't going to have any fun. The emails were cleared, but right after Booker said he was going to release them. Naturally, no Democrat had the power to change that. Regardless of my opinion of Grassley, he did not want to take on not only Booker but Feinstein and several other minority members. That is not the battle he was prepared to fight, rather he wants to shove this through with a minimum of distraction.

Well, it was meant to be a light jab at you.

What's happening is almost 100% theater. To treat Kavanaugh's performance as worthy of a SCOTUS position implies that a judge from Law and Order would likewise be qualified.

 

[jackstar7]

Cruz finished. And we're back with Klobuchar.
