Kavanaugh Confirmation

[TheDeeble]

And it set a horrible new standard for behavior during these hearings. If anyone thinks the other side won’t now play just as dirty when the roles are reversed their fooling themselves

It won't just be hearings.

And if you maintain control of the house and senate it will be a moot point! Whoopsi daisey!!!!

Actually you’ve only got a chance at the house anyway Barney. Tell me... how many house members vote on SCOTUS appointments hmmm?

I think the house may have some other powers that may come into play. Plus, not sure the senate is out of play.

Dont get reality mixed up with your wet dreams , you may well get the house so you can clog up everything and make sure nothing gets done in congress but the senate ... you should worry more about defending what seats you have instead of gaining seats .

If those powers are what I think you're referring to I assume you understand the Senate's role in determining if those powers have any meaningful impact.

If I wrote a letter of this magnatude I wouldn’t have gone with the “leave me out of it” approach. She can tell her side all she wants but it’s now irrelevant to the conversation and shouldn’t be considered in the confirmation hearings. If she wanted it as part of the discussion then she should have made an issue long ago instead of playing a game

Agreed with you..and GV. When you write the letter, "leave me out of it" goes out the door. She had to know there was no way that would hold up. So now it's down to how credible you, and the evidence, are under examination.

If this is (yet) another ploy by the Democratic machine and it's minions, then this should serve as final, conclusive evidence that the current leaders and members of the Democratic Party cannot be trusted to act in the best interests of this nation.

Not that I need another nail in that coffin, but it had to be said.

But if there's meat on that bone, then let us see it for ourselves. I have no problem with the truth...provided it's the truth.

Yes the senate is out of play. And on those powers Slick Willy mocks your stupidity.

The give away. Only one side has done anything partisan in this process:

"But partisanship could counteract that phenomenon. Republicans have been banding together at every turn of the already tumultuous Kavanaugh nomination. GOP senators brushed off Democratic complaints about the speed of the hearings and the withholding of documents from the nominee's more than five years in the George W. Bush administration."

No acknowledgment of the attempt to label K. a liar. No critique of any partisanship in how Feinstein handled this. Hell, many of the Dems on this board have been more fair minded on this than this CNN article.

lol.....not comparable.

[ajvol01]

There’s already people convinced she’s telling the truth and they have no idea what she has to say.
Nope. She new the time frame. Everyone did. If she felt it was important she would have pushed the issue weeks ago.

No, at this point it doesn’t matter as her credibility is shot.

Doesn't help matters that she would oppose his nomination strictly based on ideology.

You realize it takes 67 Senate votes to convict in an impeachment right?

Luth just knows his feelz tells him Trump has to go by any constitutional or unconstitutional means possible.

I trust that there are that many willing to do what is right.

As long as a serial killer can be effective with a butter knife anyway.

Think about that. You "trust" politicians? Chances are high that many of those same politicians(on both sides) are guilty of equal or worse offenses.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Rationalized unconstitutional acts are still unconstitutional.

 

[newokie03]

I agree a closed door session should be involved. On both sides of that equation.

But you know as well as I do the problem is the "facts" will get twisted around by both sides in such a thing.

GV I normally agree with the majority of what you say in here. This time I don't and here is why. When she came out publicy, all pretense of her not testifying in public went out the window. she interjected herself into the conversation, so now light should shine on the situation so the American people can here her story. No closed hearings, no twisting of her words by corrupt Congress critters, just her story under oath, in front of the people

True. I'd prefer serial killers not be armed with guns. Cal me crazy. (easy opening for the dim-witted out there)

Butter knife better not have more than 10 teeth per inch.

I don't think there will be anything unconstitutional about his departure.
