Kavanaugh Confirmation

[Orange_Crush]

Sure.

Like I said, no problem if they want to vote for him.

Just spare us the "but we really wanted to give her a fair shake" no sense, especially combined with "but the Dems set it all up!"

Just absurd. And fooling no one.

You reek of prep-H.

[Orangeslice13]

Agreed. She didn’t want it public. But, DiFi, nahhhh
I haven’t heard that much stumbling over words since obama.
She leaked the ****.

You and I both know it.

It could have been confidential and handled in July. But that’s not what the Dems wanted. The Dems don’t give 2 ***** about the truth.

 

[golfballs]

Manchin supposedly is going for vote for K

 

[TheDeeble]

So then basically all anyone has to do to stop a nominee is accuse them of something that can't be proved?

 

[NorthDallas40]

Ford believes this happened. I'm pretty sure about that.

She contacted Dems and that's where the Dem plot comes in. They saw a golden ticket and since Ford contacted them the strategy has been how to maximumly use this rather than get to the truth of the matter. It's rotten as hell.

Ford is an unwitting useful idiot. I think she believes what she says, regardless of her political beliefs she is sure she was attacked. Ok I’ll accept that.

But that doesn’t make me reject the refuttal of everybody else she named that was there. I’ll accept that also.

Thus to me the whole body of first hand knowledge of this event, or non-event, tells me K didn’t do this. I don’t know why that’s that hard to accept.

Very simple argument for withdrawing the Kavanaugh nomination:

(1) The integrity and legitimacy of the SCOTUS is tantamount. "Clearing" Kavanaugh's name is not.
(2) Kavanaugh's name, rightly or wrongly, is tarnished.
(3) Confirming him is not going to clear his name.
(4) However, confirming him will harm the integrity and legitimacy of the SCOTUS in the eyes of many, especially after his conspiratorial tirade today.
(5) Because the integrity and legitimacy of the SCOTUS is more important than clearing Kavanaugh's name (and confirming him will not clear his name), he should be withdrawn.

By that logic, all anyone ever has to do to block an appointment of any kind is to make a baseless accusation and then deny them without due process, citing the the integrity of the office. As a matter of fact, it's exactly what you sore losers are trying to do with Trump.

Sit in some prep-H and deal wit the losses.

She testified, credibly, that she did not want to be public until things advanced so far. Feinstein says she respected that request.

You may not like it.

You may want to say its proof of a Dem plot.

But dont then get high and mighty about how you believe her but just thinks she's mistaken. That makes no sense.

Credible.
“I hate flying. My anxiety kicks in and it’s terrifying for me to fly.”
“Ms. Ford, how did you arrive in dc?”
“I flew.”

Then to Hawaii, Haiti, Costs rica. And she want to Japan, and other islands and all the way to Washington DC to testify...............YAAAAHAHAAAA!

Exactly. And it's been their strategy against our duly elected President Donald Trump as well.

STFU hack troll.

Has it been discussed that one of the Dems asked if K believed Anita Hill as their time ran out? Talk about some bs, thats some bs

Dems didn't do it with Gorsuch and he had almost the exact same resume (even same HS). You're assuming that Dems can just pull false allegations out of a hat. That's not the case.

 

[volinbham]

Evil is waiting for the new WaPo article talking to someone who "saw Kavanaugh really drunk one night; I mean REALLY drunk".

 

[Orangeburst]

I'll bet tomorrow morning, half the Democrats on that committee won't be able to remember her entire name. And for some reason it was important to use all three.

That is the thing...Nobody will GAF in the future,,,,,,,Branded.....Branded and socially prosecuted in hyper politicization.

 

[BeecherVol]

Then she is just mistaken, right?
By definition then she is not part of a conspiracy with the Dems.

Her being mistaken on who assaulted her is irrelevant to the idea that she was used by the Ds for a political play.

Was she willingly and knowingly part of the plan? I have no idea and really dont care.

They didn't pull Ford of a hat. But they sure knew what to do with her once she was in their clutches. The lawyers trying to stop questioning about why she made so many of the decisions she made in the last 3 weeks was quite telling.

 

[tim]

The stakes are not the same.. are you a real lawyer?

Gorsuch didn’t swing the balance of the court. Kavanaugh by all accounts makes that vote a solid conservative and does at least affect the balance.

Don’t act like that isn’t the fundamental issue.

 

[InVOLuntary]

This was a good day for Republicans. Although I believe Graham did a good job with his outrage stunt, I think after the sound bites grow tired, people will just remember that he is sometimes a hothead. Kavanaugh did a good job, was totally believable with his emotional roller coaster ride. He'll come out looking worse for the wear, I believe, but will get the confirmation too, IMO.

The Dems didn't have much to be proud of other than Ford, who was also totally believable even with her story being so thin. With Kavanaugh, they didn't have much of an angle other than to try to pin him down on a drinking problem, which didn't get any traction. Trying to get him to agree that an FBI investigation would be good for everyone got no bites, obviously.

I don't think much will change over this other than the probable confirmation. Maybe a few more people declaring themselves Independents. That's where I am, will never register as an R or D.

TERM LIMITS!!!

 

[BeecherVol]

OK, one more go on this, why not..

I didn't think there was any corroborating evidence with Ford, only compelling testimony. Any potentially worthy investigation I can imagine, at this point, would be Ramirez s claim.

The corroborating evidence is actually in the negative column for Ford.

Basically there's nothing to move the needle and time to reach on another.

Going in Ford was your best shot.

Ah shucks. I give Dems credit where it's due. They're REALLY good at what they do, and they do dirt.

You guys got exposed today. By Lindsey Graham of all people. lol

But nonetheless. Thankfully, your ridiculous proposal for denying appointments can live here forever while not threatening to do damage in the real world.

Another lawyer not interested in oath he is sworn in to uphold.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of (enter state here) and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity, as well to the court as to the client, that I will use no falsehood, nor delay the cause of any person for lucre or malice."

If you think this unfounded allegation should warrant an exclusion from nomination then you are opening a very scary precedent.
