View Full Version : kavanaugh hearings
Jim in CT 09-05-2018, 06:23 AM look at how the republicans in the senate behaved during Sonja Sotomayors hearings. compare that to how the democrats in the senate behaved yesterday.
Make that comparison, and then ask yourself what that says about the two parties.
Trump is exactly like the senate democrats, a crybaby, vindictive spoiled brat who cannot accept when he doesn’t get exactly what he wants, and throws a temper tantrum. i call out trump when he behaves this way, lots of republicans call him out. are liberals criticizing the senate democrats?

"How do you defend Mitch McConnell’s stonewalling an Obama apointee after Scalia’s death ???"
Oh that's easy.
The American people, in open elections, freely chose to give senate control to the GOP. I don't think they did so, because they wanted Obama to shift the court. The people know that the Senate confirms judges, and if they wanted Obama to be able to pick supreme court justices, they would have given senate control to the Democrats. As Obama famously liked to say, elections have consequences. I guess Obama only feels that way, when he wins the elections.
"both parties are broken"
My party has a horse's ass as a POTUS. But we control the oval office, both chambers of Congress, and a large majority of state legislatures and governorships. And I can say with pride, that my side didn't behave this way during the confirmation of Kagan or Sotomayor. Obviously there are plenty of jerks on my side. But with the exception of Trump, we aren't in the habit of throwing a hissy fit every single time we don't get our way. We roll up our sleeves and figure out how to do better.

Can you please specify? When did congressional republicans behave this way?
"4) The consequences of an engineered majority conservative court has significant ramifications for the senators constituents "
Those constituents are the ones who gave control to the Republicans, so I don't think they are concerned with the ramifications of wining the elections.

Videos a plenty can be found with the google. I love the one of Sessions stating they couldn't hear Keagan until every single document she had produced had been provided.
You've got a bad memory.
Pete F. 09-05-2018, 08:57 AM Hopefully they are concerned about this hearing because Congress is not doing it's job with respect to, the Russia investigation, how Trump runs the executive branch, and the extent of his powers.
The only branch of government that is not under Trumplican control is the Judicial and this could change that.

Any comments at all, on the behavior of the Senate Democrats? Did you like it, were you embarrassed by it?
He's going to get confirmed. There is no way he's not going to get confirmed. That's what happens when one party controls the White House and the Senate. Elections have consequences, and that's true when Democrats win, and it's also true when Republicans win.
Kagan and Sotomayor both got confirmed. So will Kavanaugh.
Did you and Spence hear the scandal, that Kavanaugh bought some baseball tickets, put it on his credit card, and then paid the card off?? Of my God, the fiend! He must be stopped!! The liberals salivated over that scandal for a week. If that's the best they have, just shut up and get out of the way, for once. They're probably going to take the House in a few weeks, focus on that.

Have you seen the way he talks about his daughters? They had to be rushed out of the chamber, by the way.

Winning the house won't help them with the Supreme Court. I don't see how they fail to win the house, but I'm only saying that because I keep hearing people say it, and those same exact people said Hilary was going to win in a landslide. But even Foxnews polling has the Democrats up big as far as the House goes.
PaulS 09-05-2018, 10:38 AM True, Trump is a foolish buffoon.
Paul, what do you think about the way the Senate democrats kept interrupting and demanding a halt to the proceedings?
I think it is ridiculous that they were given 15,000? pages of docs. the night before. Why not give them a few days to review what they were given? I also believe they originally requested the same docs. that the Repubs. previously requested for other SCOTUS nominations but they haven't received them.

Four Protesters Arrested During Sotomayor Hearing
By Rollcall Staff
Posted Jul 13, 2009 6:40 AM
Updated 7:30 p.m.Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings began as many historic happenings do in Congress — with protests and arrests.Capitol Police had arrested four protesters by Monday afternoon. Two anti-abortion activists, Robert M. James and Andrew R. Beacham disrupted the hearing with yells of “Abortion is murder!—James, 48, was arrested shortly before 11 a.m. after he interrupted Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) opening statement. Beacham, 27, yelled similar anti-abortion sentiments at about 1 p.m. and was promptly escorted out of the room and arrested.Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Capitol Police later arrested two more protesters at the hearing, 68-year-old Francis Mahoney of Florida and 61-year-old Norma McCorvey of Texas.

Railroad to nominate him? When Trump was still a candidate, he released a list of judges he'd choose from. That was 2 years ago. The nuclear option, shifting the requirement to a simple majority rather than 60, was initiated by Harry Reid, who presumably thought they'd be in power forever. If you don't like it, you should take it up with Harry Reid.
What's the joke of the question and answer process?

Unless they get exactly what they want.
"They would protest Romney if hew was Pres."
There would certainly be some protests. But this is a perfect storm for them. The GOP denied Obama's pick a hearing, Trump is especially despised, and Kavanaugh's selection (unlike Gorsuch) is likely to cause a meaningful shift in the makeup of the court. In all honesty, I'd be furious if I was a liberal. I wouldn't be throwing a temper tantrum in public, but I'd be extremely concerned.

I'm sorry Paul. I didn't mean to imply, that literally zero liberals, are opposed to the nature of these protests. I freely concede that some democrats are opposed to this behavior. But it's not many. This behavior is considered much more tolerable on the left than on the right.

Senate Democrats Prove They’re Unfit to Govern
September 6, 2018, 12:05 am
Kavanaugh hearings reveal why their symbol is the jackass.
If the job of the Senate is to advise and consent, and Republicans are obstructing that process...who’s unfit to govern?
Could say the same thing about the house times ten.

Is their protest working? Has Trump rescinded Kavanaugh's nomination, and nominated Barbara Streisand instead?
What is the significance of these people dressing like female firemen from Little House on The Prairie? Can someone explain that, I assume there's some reference to a movie, and they're implying that Kavanaugh hates women?

That's a very interesting way of putting it. They've already decided that there's zero chance they'll support him.
Then Corey Booker had a "Rachael Maddow has the tax returns!" moment of voluntarily hitting himself in the face with a pie, by heroically revealing emails which had already been released, revealing that Kavanaugh was opposed to racial profiling. I can only assume, since Booker adamantly insisted that the emails showed Kavanaugh to actually be a racist, that Booker is so dumb, that he doesn't know what the word "neutral" means. Kavanaugh repeatedly called for race-neutral methods of enforcing law.
The fiend! He MUST be stopped! First he bought baseball tickets on his credit card, THEN he paid off his credit card debt, THEN we find out he's opposed to racial profiling???!!!
Do the liberals hear themselves? In all seriousness, can they not hear and see themselves? Kagan got confirmed without this nonsense, Sotomayor (who, unlike Kavanaugh, actually is a racist) got confirmed without this nonsense, even Gorsuch got confirmed without this nonsense. Kavanaugh is going to get confirmed. Deal with it, and figure out a way to re-take the Senate and the Oval Office. when that happens, watch how the GOP reacts to your SCOTUS nominees, and learn some lessons in civility.
Why should they support him? From what so have read, he has ruled in favor of corperate interests over the common man just about every time. It’s no surprise to me though.

I also read that he purgured himself in front of the senate a few years back so as soon as the Dems take back the house they could just impeach him on that count. :rtfm:

no one is saying they should support him. what i’m saying, is that you can choose
not to support him, without coming unglued. you can do it calmly and reapectfully, you don’t have to foam at the mouth and howl at the moon. you don’t even have to call him a racist, even though liberals play that card constantly. but they don’t have to. do you agree or disagree?

When someone ignores you, don’t you speak louder to be heard? If you are still ignored , wouldn’t you yell? I would.

Who is ignoring the left? I see Kavanaugh trying to answer every question that is asked.
No one is ignoring liberals, they are just choosing not to vote for you. That will likely change in a few weeks.
Just because democrats are in a major slump, doesn't mean they are being ignored. It means people are listening, they just don't like what they are hearing.
I don’t think you grasp the situation in these hearings. Brett K could say he eats baby fetus and he would still be confirmed. Massive amounts of documents showing his past rulings have been bared from being used. You think that’s right? I don’t. And I’d yell like mad.

Show me any evidence, that the GOP is greedier or more hateful? Something more than Trump, I mean. I look at what the liberals have done to people who live in the cities of CT (Hartford, New Haven), and I say, "these people deserve better, we need to do something drastically different". Liberals say, "we need to do more of the same".
You tell me, which is more compassionate? I'm all ears.
Start listening to what people like me are actually saying, rather than letting MSNBC tell you what we are saying. You'll see a big difference between the two.

No, he wouldn't. But you can't derail a nomination because he's conservative and because Trump picked him. You need more than that.
Ask him questions about every ruling he has ever written, give him a chance to explain. That's what the hearings are supposed to be. Not having maniacs in the gallery getting arrested by the hundreds, not having woman dressed in red potato sacks for reasons I still don't understand, not shouting him down, and not Corey Booker grandstanding because he wants to make a run in 2020. Stop calling yourself Spartacus for releasing emails that were already published, that isn't all that heroic.
PaulS 09-07-2018, 09:55 AM No, he wouldn't. But you can't derail a nomination because he's conservative and because Trump picked him. You need more than that.
How about finding emails that the Repubs. originally didn't want to release which directly contradict what he recently has been saying?
Or how about him not being on Trump's (the Fed. society) stated list of judges he would appt. then after the investigation begins his name now magically appears on the list and he moves to the top? Does his views on Pres. power, ect. have anything to do with that?
He will get confirmed regardless.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with that, and you and I both know that, and here's how we know it. People were literally opposed to the pick, even before Trump announced who it was.
The left knows that unlike the Gorsuch selection, this process will shift the court. They can't handle it. Sorry, elections have consequences. You all loved the first guy to say that.
Sen Grassley is saying that the documents were available online, and that none of the senate democrats bothered to look at them. I don't know who is lying on that. I know that Booker lied about "releasing" classified emails, and he lied about the emails showing Kavanaugh to be a racist. So I think I know who I will give the benefit of the doubt too. And I don't always give it to Republicans, but I know enough about Booker and Blumenthal.

No, it has everything to do with that - it looks like might have lied about his view on whether Roe v Wade is "settled law" or not and we don't know why he went from not being on the Federalist list to having Trump picking him.
Of course people were opposed to a pick from the other party. That has always been the way.

I like Sasse - he gets it. Want to know who hopefully will get the torch of integrity in there now? This guy.

I didn't know much about him, except I think he's a never-Trumper? But I think he really presented himself well at this hearing, his stock is on the rise at the moment.

Careful of those. I have had some catastrophic failures iwith UV glues. Unless you use a light rated at correct wavelength, some won’t cure properly.
My fave is a loctite product that has a spray activator.
