Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 5

[Anonymous]

So this is only livable if the Senate turns blue like the House.



You know what you have to do, people.

West Virginia disagrees He is very useful. I hope your Senator is as effective.

I agree. Manchin is a good, decent man. He represents the interests of his constituency. This is what Senators are elected to do.

Guess he did a good job of representing his deplorables.

He’s in a weird spot. I don’t think another Dem could sit in his seat. As a Dem, I think he was smart to shore up his win this way. His no vote would have netted us nothing.

And a long list of terms that I guess we need to learn the "real" meaning of because, gee-wiz, after all Kavanagh was telling us the truth about their definitions:

Sniff, sniff - come on out to the kegger at PJ's tonight and we can talk about it.

Susan Collins states on the Senate floor that "over the past week, many women have shared their stories of sexual assault"...

and then she said VERBATIM:

"I will do everything in my power to ensure that their daughters and granddaughters never share the same stories."

Well, she's certainly doing that. After today, no woman will come forward and share her story of sexual assault unless it was videotaped in front of a a couple hundred witnesses and happened while she was stone cold sober and screaming for dear life.

Although, even then, we can never be truly sure...

Except there are credible corroborating witnesses, none of whom were interviewed by the Senate staff or the FBI.

What Jennifer Rubin says...BOOM:

"Republicans, too, could win this fight for the swing Supreme Court seat, but they cannot bestow legitimacy upon Kavanaugh or erase their record of weaponized misogyny. Progressives will seek his recusal in every case of political significance. Every 5-4 decision in which Kavanaugh is the deciding vote will be denounced as illegitimate, the work of a partisan judge elevated to the court by nefarious means. The decision will be respected legally in the short term, but in the future, it will be argued, the decision should carry zero precedential weight. Those he once accused of participating in a left-wing cabal will seek to vacate cases they lose in which Kavanaugh was the deciding vote. In future cases, they will urge justices and lower court judges to downgrade the importance of these decisions, in effect treating them as unpublished opinions that should not impact future cases.

Democrats will ferret out the witnesses whom the FBI ignored and subpoena FBI officials to testify. They will leak the full FBI report at some point and disclose any communications between the FBI and White House that reveal efforts to curb the FBI investigation. They will seek Kavanaugh’s removal, and maybe even his disbarment.

When a Democratic president eventually wins the White House with a Democratic Senate majority, you can count on a court-packing scheme. Most critically, any decision Kavanaugh renders in Trump’s favor on the Russia probe might ignite a constitutional conflagration in which the majority of the country sees an illegitimate justice protect a president illegitimately elected with the assistance of the United States’ foe, Russia.

None of this is desirable, nor would it have been conceivable had Trump picked another justice."

That’s just not a nice thing to say at all.

Ding ding ding ding ding
And if the sham FBI report were anything other than excoriating of Brett, it would have been released. I wonder what they found: proof that he’s still a drunk? That he participated in multiple gang rapes?

Can't wait to run into Brett Kavanaugh at a girls' high school basketball game.

You do know that he cruises HS girls basketball games because he "likes to see what strategies the coaches use"?

You really believe that?

Absolutely. He just slapped the face of every Democrat woman working the phone banks and volunteering on his campaign. He just sapped his own energy.
It literally makes zero sense, given that Kavanaugh lied and showed extremely poor judicial temperament in his confirmation hearing. Manchin had plenty of good reasons to not vote for Kavanaugh.

Manchin is dirty and the GOP knows it.

Cool story bro but none of it will actually happen. Enjoy it while you can.

Yes, this was the part of her speech that was weird to me. Why would you say you wouldn't want women to share their stories of sexual assault? This was an oversight by her speechwriter for sure. I'm sure that isn't what Collins was trying to say, but man, it could have been written much more elegantly. Really shows lack of sensitivity. Speaking up and sharing stories by women who have suffered assault is the whole fricken point of the MeToo movement, right. Or am I just in a twilight zone here?

I teach kids, and I’m considering changing my approach. I’ve tried teaching kindness, empathy, honesty, and understanding. I’ve actually told kids that these skills will help them navigate their world in the future.

But I think I’m going to start teaching that what really matters is always winning and always being right. Be the best, best everyone else, you’re always right and never wrong. Hold her down, she doesn’t matter, forget it ever happened, grow up and compete and be better than everyone, so you alone can win. I mean, right?
