Self inflicted wounds.


They should have picked someone clean like they did with Gorsuch. Because honestly I think they will lose a couple votes, and even after spending all this capital they will have to go back to the drawing board. They would have been better off picking someone else.

Nope, this is politics and winning politics. The false accusations are also political. Kavanaugh will be confirmed and Republicans will be rewarded for doing their job.

I drank heavily in college and cleaned up my act when I grew up. Yep - I still enjoy some adult beverages but guess what -- what I did in college has nothing to do with the person I am in my late 40's. Nothing. Brett Kavanaugh is going to make a fine Supreme Court justice, and I hope he gets in on a 50 to 50 tie with Pence casting the deciding vote. Just to drive the left even more crazy than they already are.

And. Did. You. Lie. About. It?
Cause Kavanaugh did--on Fox...

That is the same thing my friends told me in October 2016 when I was predicting a Trump victory!

Hey--you had a member of GOP leadership--Denny Hastert--who went to prison for an act associated with paying blackmail to boys he abused...

The GOP doesn't have a moral soapbox to preach to anyone on...

Oh, but it does. Take the time to go back to when I addressed the Al Franken business. I'm not going to repeat myself because people are too lazy to read the entire thread.

This is not a jury trial
This is a job interview for a seat on the Supreme Court
Kavanaugh has not more inherent right to that position than any other qualified nominee--

The Senate has the right and obligation to choose the BEST MAN--and a man is a compilation of all his parts--his past, his present, and indeed--his future acts...
Kavanaugh has lied under oath before --
I imagine he will do it again Thursday if he gives his testimony then
Because I guarantee he is going to be asked some very probing and sensitive questions about his behavior as a young man at Georgetown Prep and Yale and maybe even about how he chooses his law clerks...
He opened himself up by his claims of sainthood on the Fox show--
And as a jurist he should know that once the defense broaches new territory, the prosecution can ask questions about it...
He should not have done the show
He didn't really want to from what I heard especially because they wanted his wife there
but he wanted to please the WH that was pushing him to create a pro-Kavanaugh impression to "the base"

And the woman who went to bat for Roger Ailes went to bat for Kavanaugh and served up some nice easy lobs that allowed Kavanaugh to paint himself as like the second coming of Christ
Definitely not the boy he portrayed in his yearbook--definitely not the friend Mark Judge portrayed inn his two books--his "Barf O'Kavanaugh" buddy...
And not the guy that Yale classmates remember...

Who'd have you'd see this from a Fox News poll.

Fox News Poll: Record number of voters oppose Kavanaugh nomination

Voter support for Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court is down in the wake of Christine Ford’s assault allegations, as more believe her than him.

Currently, 40 percent of voters would confirm Kavanaugh, while 50 percent oppose him, according to a Fox News poll.

Why are the Republicans trying to ram this through so fast? Are they trying to kill the party?

U think the GOP has a leg to stand on. To preach moral values when they nominated a man caught on tape describing grabbing women by their private parts as something easy to do and get away with because he had power???

In other words, this doesn't even represent the will of their base. Given that.....why are they pushing it?

What a load. The base approves of this and has been demanding this for days. The NYT is not a credible news source.

Edit: From your own link:

"Eighty-four percent of Republicans back Mr. Kavanaugh. Eighty-one percent of Republican women support Mr. Kavanaugh’s nomination. Support among Republican men was only somewhat higher, at 86 percent."

Has anyone else noticed that the poll numbers for Kavanaugh failing to pass muster have doubled in the last 30 hours??
I chose 49 or fewer and that choice has over 50 votes as of right now...830 CST.
Interesting...

I believe Kavanaugh will not make it.

No big deal, there are 15 other clones of Kavanaugh (including a woman) available for nomination to the Supreme Court.

If Kavanaugh goes down Trump will likely nominate a woman and be done.
