Kavanaugh confirmation hearing

[Charlie]

Probably trying to extort something from the Rep leadership for her state and/or personal benefit.

I'd bet on this as 100% accurate!

The Republicans stalled to keep Garland from coming up for a vote. Always thought that was a mistake, they should have held the vote and rejected him. But at least the R's were honest about it. They did not try to smear Garland or play 11th hour gotcha games as the Dems have with Kavanaugh.

Liberals - the ends justifies any means. No morals, no values.

Before the election I thought he was a clown but I voted for him because I was very much against Hillary. I like what he's done since the election and what he's tried to do. Mostly I like that he doesn't give in to the PC BS and that he doesn't give into pressure from the media. I chortle every time he gives the media a poke in the eye.

Aahh, a common tale but true laddie.

I'm really curious what game Collins is playing here.

Whatever her game is, give it to her. If confirmed, it will be the first time the court has been conservative in 50 years.

Hey if they want Garland, lets do a swap - he goes in, Sotomayor comes out.

I think they have really screwed the pooch here. Kavanaugh was probably the most centered nominee on the list.

Yeah, I think Kavanaugh is more of a Roberts than a Scalia, but at this point he must be confirmed if the Senate wants to maintain any semblance of legitimacy.

If you like liberal tears, this is delicious.

If the 17th Amendment were repealed this would be a non-issue. The Senate would lean much more heavily towards the Right.

I suspect that the Leftist Liberals have stepped on their dicks. Their antics have stirred up the Conservative base. I'm hoping the blue wave turns into a Red Tide. If President Trump gains more seats in both houses it's going to be funny to see the complete meltdown on the left.

If that happens and one of the libs on the court dies it's going to be something to watch when President Trump nominates another Constitutional judge.

I believe all minds are made up. Still, the dems will use up every bit of the 30 hours they have gnashing and screaming.

I think they have really screwed the pooch here. Kavanaugh was probably the most centered nominee on the list. He should have sailed through nomination without issue.

Instead, the Dems saw the projected mid term numbers and decided they could sink this nominee and hold the courts open for a couple more years. In their attempt to do so they have gone insane and shown their true colors. The middle Americans are being turned off and becoming fearful. Graham summed it up well in his rant.

Now they have K going to the final vote. His confirmation is a toss up. They may very well stop him after using everything they have to destroy the man. I’m doing g so, they may well have cost themselves the ability to gain any majorities in the house or senate. And what happens next?

Trump will go back to his list of potentials and choose someone even further to the right. The Rs may very well have gained seats by that point paving the way for an even more conservative, pro gun, pro life nominee to sale through confirmation with any outcry at all from the left getting little more than a head shake as most of America still has a fresh memory of this tragedy of American politics.

It’s not just the weekend that will be interesting, but the next couple months.

I actually believe that many of those that were sitting on the fence are pissed at the Dems and they may well lose some of the races that they thought they could win. Just by the poll numbers lately you can see a shift. The democrats have shot themselves in the foot.

Yep. If people are serious about fixing the republic, the 17th definitely needs to go; among others.

I have to disagree. I think he will be closer to Thomas (the best of the bunch) than Roberts.

Wow I didn't understand that people actually understood the constitution besides me.. Yes Senators were never meant to be elected by the citizens, but rather by the state legislatures. It was a balance of state power in the federal government.. Of course.. the whole 1861 thing happened and that really damaged the 10th amendment.

I dunno... He seems to pick and choose what he's an originalist on. Looks good on 1 and 2; not so much on 4.

Of course there's no perfect candidate. Even Roberts is better than anyone Barry or Willy nominated.

So when is he getting confirmed?? is it actually today?

She kinda looks like the prophet truth from the video game halo 2

 

[Darqhelmet]

Her own party left her in CA. They have gone with a lunatic that hates guns and flaunts that his family is illegal. This was her only hope. Mind you this is the women that disarms people, but well her life was in danger back in the day had her personal police force.

Collins now enjoying her 15 minutes in the spotlight.

Sounds like she will be a yes, but she is still grandstanding so we don't know for sure.
