Trump supporters need to stop whining, considering that Republicans would not even have a hearing for Merrick Garland. After that, these Supreme Court Justice appointments will forever be a polluted nasty mess because Democrats will never not be angry over what the GOP did, even after we pay them back ten times over.
They were merely following the Joe Biden rule. No confirmation until after the election.
He set the precedent.
I generally vote Democrat. I'm disappointed in the Democratic Senators on the committee. Look, I get it. You got burned by McConnell on Gorsuch. It stinks. But, from the answers I'm seeing Kavanaugh give - he's likely going to get confirmed. He hasn't fumbled any of the questions so far. It is common to use that "I'd rather not pass judgment on hypothetical scenarios."
If anything, he should check some boxes with Democrats. He did reiterate that he doesn't believe in overturning past judgments. He also said that one of the finest moments of the Judiciary was when the SCOTUS forced Nixon to turn over some documents during the Watergate investigation.
Listen my fellow Democrats. We aren't going to get a liberal justice. Not going to happen, not while the Presidency and Senate are Republican. It is unfortunate that confirmations are a majority vote now. Otherwise, it would moderate the justices appointed just a little bit.
But that's simply not how it is. The best thing Democrats could do is focus on 2018-2022. Win back the Senate and the Presidency and then decide if they should do the right thing and re-establish 60/40 confirmation votes. That's a tough call though. If someone asked me today, I'd say that even if Trump loses in 2020, if the Democrats don't hold the Senate by then, a replacement for Ginsburg would just be held up by Republicans indefinitely. What's 4 years when you already did it 1 year?
Dude is scum. His support is flashing white supremacist signals, and he disrespected the father of a murdered child by not shaking his hand. You want to talk about not having any amount of decency! If he gets on the Supreme Court, kiss labor unions and Affirmative Action goodbye.
LOL this post is deranged. The LATINA woman is flashing White power signs. LMAO!
KAV IS KILLING IT!
I can't wait to see the uber-lib meltdown when old Ruthie is carried out of the courthouse on a slab under a sheet and Roberts retires and the AlFather Trump names TWO MORE MODERATE CONSERVATIVES TO THE BENCH! Trump is knocking down liberal fascism like our Grandfathers snuffed out the Nazis.
He should get a lot more than that but given the fact that Democrats are treating this hearing as their competition for who wants to run for President the most, he'll likely only got ~60.
