I posted this yesterday. GOP is ignoring this. I want the Democratic Leaders to promise to impeach this guy if he is confirmed.

Impeach him on what grounds? Not liking someone is not grounds for impeachment.

Lying under oath is.

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?

https://www.npr.org/2018/08/09/636102541/what-a-justice-kavanaugh-could-mean-for-the-mueller-investigation-and-trump


“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.

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

Sarcastic, right? Sometimes it's hard to tell.

FFS. How many freaking times have people posted summaries and links to the lies? Pretending they don't exist doesn't make them go away!

You should testify before the Judiciary Committee, obviously you are already practicing to be dishonest and evasive.

Ah, another liberal with the personal insults and accusations.

And reading biased sources that cast his the testimony as lies doesn't make it so! What about HER lies?

Of course the memo was a sham -- like others have said, she didn't even make any effort to gather extra facts besides what "he said" and what "she said."

But it's enough for conservatives to lap it up.. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/rachel-mitchell-expertly-eviscerates-the-case-against-kavanaugh/2018/10/02/ec1ff7c4-c66d-11e8-9b1c-a90f1daae309_story.html?utm_term=.a6ef981d1238

She was hired by and paid by her client, the Republicans. Of course her report is in the best interests of her client.

Please post a link to the summary(ies) of HER lies. Not the things she readily admitted she can't recall, but her LIES.

One of the two came out of that hearing with strained credibility and it was not her.

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.

You are really naive.

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.

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.

That is the cost of losing the election. Trump made a list of potential nominees public before the election to drive conservative turn out for him. Republicans have been nominating Federalist approved judges since 1985. BKs views on sitting Presidents is not a federalist view but a Kavanaugh view from his days in the Bush administration. BK is not a get out of jail free card for DT. He is a whip up the conservative vote pick. I get that Libs don't want federalist judges because of their opinions but the protection of sitting presidents is not a federalist view. Gorsuch was a federalist society approved judge and there was not one issue with his view presidential power.

I don't think BK belongs on the court and I prefer conservative judges. But I also don't agree that he is a get out of jail free card. IF he gets on the court he will have zero impact on whether Trump is charged with a crime or not.

I hate that Trump has no filter, and I hate that he stepped into this trap. So Kavanaugh should take the fall for Trump being an A$$, as well as take all the penalties for all women who were assaulted but never given justice.

That is a perfect translation for the post above.
Forget that there is no corroborating evidence on Ford’s part. Forget that her story has huge holes and that her testimony was inconsistent. Forget that Kavanaugh has an impeccable record of not only hiring women, but treating them with respect and encouraging them to take positions of authority. Forget that nothing has been produced that verify Ford’s claim.

Kavanaugh absolutely must be ruined and his name damaged because of everybody’s MeToo moments. That is the message here.

You are lying! AGAIN!
