Kavanaugh is the only judge I've ever wanted on the Supreme Court.

That's OK. He'll be on SCOTUS for the next 30 years just like Kagan. You can call him all the names you want.

It is impossible to impeach Kavanaugh, because you need 67 votes in the Senate.
Kavanaugh will be Supreme for 25+ years.
I might get a Kavanaugh tattoo.

Don't the Dems realize how bad they look during this whole Kavanaugh nomination? They'll find out in November.

A sham report done only for political cover. I hope witnesses continue to come forward and speak to the media.

A judge that will have to recuse himself on so many issues because he has displayed his extreme partisanship for entire country to see.

The Republican leadership have all but conceded the House to the Democrats.
I wonder what President Hillary Clinton has to say about those polls....

I like ice cream a lot. That is not the same as saying I eat a lot of ice cream. I like some beers, although I don't drink much because of the headaches it gives me. I know a lot of people who do like beer a lot more than I do. They aren't alcoholics. Cruzincat Jr makes his own beer in fact. He is a Fireman/Paramedic, and he does not drink when or just before he goes to work.

Because he got drunk in High School and College? Because he likes beer as an adult? Guy give me a break. That describes nearly everyone I know, myself included. This was a despicable attempt by Democrats, the left and yes, the Clintons to smear and slander a man who has been in high profile positions of power in DC that never had a bad word said about him let alone an accusation of misconduct as an adult. Now that all the other "theories" have been debunked we are left with he has a drinking problem. Pathetic.
