New SCOTUS Judge II: The Wrath of Kavanaugh

The Big Dog said:
The Latest: The chairman of the Senate Judiciary says the FBI found "no hint of misconduct" in its background investigation of sexual misconduct claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Gasp! Well, I'm sold. The REPUBLICAN chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said the REPUBLICAN nominee (and REPUBLICAN OPERATIVE), found "no hint of misconduct" in its REPUBLICAN ordered and REPUBLICAN controlled and REPUBLICAN limited investigation (sic) into REPUBLICAN selected charges.

Drink the swamp! Drink the swamp! Drink the swamp!
 
Democrats in the Senate should have made it more clear that they have no faith in the rushed mini-Investigation regardless of the outcome at the beginning of the week.

Now, it is feels like a shifting of goalposts to demand another, broader investigation.
On the other hand, if there is evidence that Republicans or the White House did limit the scope of the FBI's investigation, that would be a big scandal IMO and severely taint everyone involved.
 
OK, I think (hope?) this will appeal to both sides of the aisle.

YES, its video, but its only one minute-twenty long so it won't steal much of your precious download data, and unless you have the attention span of a retarded flea, it shouldn't be too long for you.

Just enjoy

I get it. But maybe Kavanaugh could be watered down some by other appointees. I keep thinking the GOP is going to realize, soon, that the only demographic they appeal to is shrinking. ..

We all hope the demographic shrinks or we could end up in a pretty nasty fascist state.

But as for Kavanaugh not mattering, I give you Clarence Thomas, making money from lobbyists who launder it through his wife all the while influencing decisions like Citizens United and Anita Hill who endured vile victim blaming and never did get mainstream recognition. Though there was backlash it didn't stop Thomas one bit.

You can safely bet, regardless of overturning Roe, Kavahaugh and Thomas will team up trashing women's rights wherever they can.

"No hint?" Guess they didn't look at all the evidence out here in the public sphere.

That has been the planned talking point all along.

Of course they did. That evidence is out in the public sphere already doing little good. It's a scandal the GOP has already nipped in the bud.

They have my full support.

I guess the Resistance is talking about 96 year old Stevens rather than the actual results of the actual FBI investigation they demanded.

The FBI investigation was a complete disaster for the the leftists

You can paint up a sheet and put a piece of firehose on the front and try to tell the zoo that "the elephant you requested has arrived", but that doesn't make it an actual elephant.

From the outset the Dems have been protesting that this was a sham investigation that the White House (via their council and via the Orange Buffoon's instructions to "get it done how the Senators want") was putting on a dog-and-pony show.

This was not an investigation. The investigation demanded would've covered his entire testimony, including his partisanship and his lying about his drinking history. The question, narrowly-focused by the GOP was limited to "are we nominating a rapist to the Suprfeme Court". The hearings (and thus the investigations were to determine "whether or not Brett Kavanaugh is a suitable nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

That question has been answered. He. Is. Not.
 
Does anyone think that op-ed (in another Murdoch/Trump mouthpiece) is going to help him? I keep thinking a guy who has to keep walking back his behavior in high-stakes vetting is not really a very strong candidate for Supreme Court. It's a mystery to me why Trump wants that guy so much unless it really is as simple as protecting himself from investigation. I feel like there's something bigger going on, but maybe that's unnecessary.

I'm sure it's a large part of it. I'm also quite sure that a larger part is the MUST BE A WINNER syndrome. It runs rife through the entire GOP, now. Admitting a mistake is tantamount to wearing a sign saying "I'm a loser" and because it's election season and they are desperate, they feel that they cannot be seen to be on the back foot even if it amounts to appointing this partisan liar to the Supreme Court for life.
 
The miniature FBI investigation was the figleaf to cover the sexual assault allegations.
The op-ed is meant to provide cover for this disgraceful performance at the testimony.

neither can be taken seriously, but they are sufficient to let those who have already made up their mind sleep at night.
 
You Americans are screwed if you can't even get right selecting someone to the highest court that is beyond reproach.

Take a look at how other Western democracies selects their highest courts and have a do-over. It's either that or be locked in endless partisan bickering while the fates of your citizens are being decided by partisanship rather than law.

Speaking from New Zealand, the process is pretty abysmal because there are sitting judges complicit in miscarriages of justice.
Andrew Tipping.
Susan Glazebrooke are two.

The NZ supreme court is a collective disgrace for failing to correct police and judicial tragedies. Scalia was probably a poster boy for our miscreants.

I tend to agree. I think he's definitely going to be confirmed as McConnell, Grassley have turned it into a purity test. Approve or suffer the wrath of your colleagues. I can imagine Collins voting no and even possibly Flake since he's out the door. But not MURKOWSKI. This is sad as it will be a pyhric victory.

Flake said before the report came out that he would vote to confirm if there was no new corroborative evidence. After the report came out he said that there was no new corroborative evidence. I don't expect him to vote no. I forget exactly what she said, but Collins seemed to indicate she'd be a yes, too.
 
The world is run by the Irish and the Jews. The people involved, like the judge involved, mostly seem to have Irish names and they are helping each other out with this Supreme Court appointment.

From an old law book published in 1932 called English Justice which is relevant:

There are, I fear, a very much larger number of sexual offences against women and children than is known. For various reasons, most of them are not reported. The only redeeming feature of the position is that the offenders are comparatively few, though the offences are numerous. Whether there is an increase or decrease of this kind of crime it is hard to say. It is obvious that magistrates are not fit to try cases of this sort, but then, unfortunately, there are not too many judges who can be trusted when any question involving sexual irregularity comes up for trial.

Brett Kavanaugh WSJ Op-ed Oct 4, 2018:

Trust me, how I behaved during that testimony is not who I am, and I would not be that way on the Supreme Court.

President Donald J. Trump, Sept 27, 2018:

"Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him."

The irony of #Kavanaugh's tirade about a "political hit", and his apology in the WSJ for losing his temper, is that Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours straight during what was clearly a political smear campaign, and never broke a sweat.

He's unfit.
