But he doesn’t have integrity. You leave that at the door when you give your soul to the devil/gop.

Gorsuch made a mild comment against Trump's attacks on Judge Curiel. He showed some integrity. Kavanaugh has declined to show any integrity through this process.

That is such utter BS.
He and his family have been put through the wringer with false allegations and attacks from the left. His name has been smeared and his reputation damaged. He is defending himself and his family from the mud being slung at him.

If he hadn't lied with a blanket denial when the Ford allegation first surfaced, he would have been sworn in already. He made a grave tactical error and he dug his hole deeper with further lies and obfuscation. It really is his own fault for his own behavior, both in 1982 and 2018.

Exactly. There were a few different ways he could have handled it. “Belligerent BS” was not the best approach.

Was that an act for DT not to withdraw his nomination?

Trump doesn’t care what BK does or says. He just wants him in that seat. For protection. As a notch in his belt. He will do it at any cost.

You are going to have to explain how Kavanaugh on the Court is protection for Trump?

Kavanaugh does not believe a sitting president can be indicted.

He is 1 of 9 judges. Do four other judges believe the same thing? I doubt that is the case. But if they did that would mean his belief is not out of the norm. People are way overplaying the Kav belief that a sitting President cannot be indicted because he will not be ruling on any cases individually. If RBG and/or Breyer passed or retired and DT was trying to fill their seats with someone with the same views, I would be concerned. One guy on the SCOTUS is not a get out of jail free card.

But Trump likes BK because his confirmation would benefit Trump, not our country. He wasn’t looking for the best SCJ for the US, he was looking for the best SCJ for himself.

Hope the price is too high for some of those key senators.

Trump wants him in there because BK is a member of the ultra conservative Federalist Society. Trump is but a mere puppet for the ultra conservatives. Honestly, he doesn’t seem to think for himself at all, he just appoints people who satisfy his followers’ desires.


Betsy Devos was only appointed not because of her fitness for the job but to satisfy his evangelical fan club. Trump obviously doesn’t believe anything that the evangelicals believe but he obviously wants to remain in power (he holds election rally’s every other week, doesn’t he?).
The Devos Foundation made most of its money selling things to evangelicals through their ‘multilevel marketing’ company. They then financially support things like - evangelical churches and schools :

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_and_Helen_DeVos_Foundation

Betsy’s money was made selling snake oil to special needs families (Neurocore) which I find infuriating :

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeVos

Everything that Trump does should be very predictable now. Apparently he has no qualms about 100% being a puppet for others.

Agree. Trump isn't fixated on Kavanaugh's beliefs about presidential power. He just picked him because others told him to. Now he's supporting him because he never backs down from a fight. Ever.

Nah.. You are really just not that bright if you think 1 justice is going to control the Supreme court. Keep slurping the dem scare tactics.

Pelosi has already said she's not going to do that. Which I also agree with.

Stop calling him a drunk! If that were the case, it would have come out in his previous FBI investigations.

No, you are not bright. You almost deserve BK as your nominee. Feel sorry for your family.

I don’t understand how someone can consider themselves an intelligent person and yet be part of a ‘group think’ organization that tells you how to think.
Justice John Roberts , a conservative, specifically has spoken about not limiting your news and life experience to others that effectively tell you how to think and feel.

“But the transcript of a 1999 bar association roundtable discussion shows Kavanaugh repeatedly suggesting that the Nixon case may have been "wrongly decided — heresy though it is to say so."

He argued that the Supreme Court, by enforcing the subpoena, "took away the power of the president to control information in the executive branch."

And he contended that the president's power as chief law enforcement officer "was diminished dramatically" by the ruling. Finally, he asked whether the decision should be overruled because it involved nothing more than an "intra- branch dispute," not subject to review by the courts. Answering his own question, Kavanaugh said, "Maybe so."

That position was directly rejected by the Supreme Court in the Nixon case.””


“In a 2009 University of Minnesota Law Review article, he proposed that Congress should enact laws to immunize presidents from criminal investigation and civil suit during their time in office”

This is the stuff I wish we had been discussing about this candidate. Not sexual encounters 35 years ago. Too late.

I don't think 1 justice is going to control the Supreme Court. It doesn't take 1, just a majority. If you think that there haven't been machinations behind the scenes to get certain conservative judges groomed and appointed to various courts, you're not only naive, but woefully uninformed. It isn't a secret.

IKR. Give us some more recent drunken sexual assaults or go home. Every 17 year old boy does that.
