Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings

[OakRiver]

My 2nd favorite Clancy book, after the oh so underrated Red Storm Rising.

Red Storm Rising was such a great book. One of the few books that moved here with me.

A "profitable personality", I'm going to remember that one.

Always follow the money

Yeah not sure he fits the classical definition of a journalist but I’m sure he fits the current corrupted meaning to a “T”

There is a very small percentage of the general population who have any idea who any of those people are. It's like talking about hockey players.

Hockey is a great sport. I look forward to the Olympics every 4 years so I can watch it.

Kavanaugh has the votes as of the moment... Dems will play their last card tonight.

Interested to see what it will be.

Acosta continues:

With a single speech, Sen. Collins, announcing her support for Kavanaugh, has paved the way for a much more conservative Supreme Court for the next generation. Abortion rights, gay rights, climate change, and health care reform could well be impacted for decades to come.

Acosta continues:

what a Moron. Man they are really trying hard arent they

 

[foszoe]

He’s also a behavioral psychologist. So there’s that.

Does that make him a doctor? Is he licensed in the state of California?

And Mike Edwards had evidence about what happened to Vigdis Augustdottir.

Not really, that is what they have been saying since before Trump... They just have nothing else left than so return to stoking the fears of the "protected".

Acosta continues:

This should be an epiphiny for Acosta. The court was never intended to be the means for advancing agendas. If you can't win the electorate and you lose the court, you're screwed.

(Not that I'm convinced the court will roll back much, if any of his sacred cows once Kavanaugh gets the nod).

I pray to God he is right.

Murkowski isn't coming across as the sharpest tool in the shed.

Kavanaugh is hardly a "conservative" as Collins noted he was almost lock step with Garland (93% consensus). Kavanaugh should have sailed through confirmation.

Are you kidding? If Kavanaugh gets the nod everyone knows that he will take over the court and roll back everything all by himself in the first week that he takes his seat. Then he'll sit back and drink beer until he blacks out.

I agree.

Kavanaugh will be Chief Justice by the end of the term.

I still have room in my heart for Mama Pitbull.

SHHHHHHHHHH!

They need it... recent attacks on Republican lawmakers including beatings and shootings prove the left has no issue with violence.

They need to CC like the rest of us.

How long before he is trying to get in RBG’s knickers?

The left has been reading its own press release.

Kavanaugh will not wholesale do away with cases that have been aroun for decades. Roe is here to stay. Even the very recent Obergefell isn’t going anywhere.

What he will likely be is a key vote on allowing more rational abortion regulation and restrictions by states. He will also be important when cases like the inevitable Masterpiece Cake and its like wind their way back to court. Live and let live will be the order of the day on gay rights. He will be good on gun rights because that is already a matter of positive precedent for our side. Also, government overreach on healthcare may have a harder time.
