Vote him out.
No he didn’t. He was elected by the people of Kentucky, who overwhelmingly support the nomination of Kavanaugh. They are the ones capable of voting him out and he is doing what the constituents who elected him expected him to do.

They fully intend for all this to end in violence, they are just hoping they can troll someone from the right in to striking the first blow so they can take the moral high ground.

Concur. I've noticed several Democrats on here who are fully in support of what was done to Kavanaugh and cite Garland as if there is an equivalency. I think, to some, they truly believe it is no different which is pretty disturbing as one was political gamesmanship and the other actually personally injured and hurt people. I simply could never be the kind of person who supports the kind of actions the Democrats engaged in this last week just to win a political battle.

The American public can plainly see now that Democrats play without rules and without morals. I do believe Dems have committed political suicide here and it will be reflected in the midterms.

You are 100% correct. Garland was MUCH WORSE than Brett. Brett had to answer questions. Garland spent his entire life preparing for a Job, was selected for it and was shunned.....

I'd say 99 out of 100 people would rather be questioned than shunned. As to our Republic, Garland was also a first in history - the questioning of a SCOTUS nominee was certainly nothing new.

It's interesting how world shaking events.....like the SCOTUS appointing a POTUS....are "yawned at" by the very same people who tell us a drunk is melting before some old men and women questioning him before a lifetime job offer. You couldn't make this stuff up......

Just coincidence also that the last two GOP POTUS were losers of the popular vote. Any reasonable POTUS who gained office in such a way would try to represent ALL of the people as opposed to claiming his 40% approval rating means he can do exactly as he pleases.

That should trouble you. But it doesn't seem to. I imagine you would have been OK with a liberal SCOTUS appointing Al Gore too.

The fact you can say the bolded (my emphasis), shows you to either be in complete denial as to what Kavanaugh and most especially his family has suffered from these unsubstantiated accusations or you see nothing wrong with unsubstantiated accusations in an effort to ruin a man's life. Neither of those are a good look on anyone.

Do you really support absolutely ruining a person by bringing forth damning accusations with no proof, no corroboration, and not even a whiff of evidence? Because I could never do so as it's against my moral code. One would hope it would be against anyone's moral code but I'm beginning to see that isn't the case with some people.

Christ, if I were Merrick Garland I’d be thanking whatever deity I believed in on an hourly basis for sparing me and my family from the experience of Kavanaugh.

For the record, I think they should have gone through the process Garland, but they didn’t and, sorry, it is no justification at all for the circus our nation is currently going through.

And the Democrat clown parade continues, now that the FBI investigation has proved useless to them-- because it was all about delaying, delaying, delaying.

The biggest clown is Corey Booker who, at least, is clear about what the Dems were after all along: Haven't enough issues been raised for us to move on to a new nominee?

Yup. That has been their goal all along. And we know it.

Dozens of people who reached out to the FBI with potential information were ignored.

Quote:
"Hours earlier, NBC News reported that more than 40 people “with potential information into the sexual misconduct allegations” against Kavanaugh, including multiple high school and college classmates of the judge, had tried to contact the FBI to no avail."

Of course there were no bombshells. They didn't talk to anyone who had real information.

This was a sham investigation. It was to provide cover for Senators to vote for Kavanaugh, not to uncover the truth.
