Judge Kavanaugh
I wanted Barrett.
I'll take a guy educated at Yale who teaches law at Yale, Harvard (hired by Elana Kagan) and Georgetown. I like how he horsed around with his daughters during his speech. And I like his Catholicism. And I like the normalcy of a guy who finds time to coach his daughter's basketball team, where he is known as Coach K. Let the war begin. Saw Corey Boker on MSNBC claiming that there was a 99% chance that we're all going to die if he gets confirmed. That's a slight exaggeration. |

Well if it was Joe Biden announcing the pick, Kavanaugh's his wife would at least get a back rub from "Uncle Joe". |
Judge Kavanaugh Congress should pass a law giving presidents immunity from civil suits and criminal investigations and prosecutions until they leave office.
Interesting his reasoning POTUS is a hard job .. |

That has the appearance of being self-serving from Trump's point of view, but we're a million miles away from Trump being indicted and the question going to SCOTUS. But it's a good point. From what I can tell, people are upset because Kafanaugh thiks that judges should adhere to the rulebook (the Constitution), and not invent law or invent rights that aren't enumerated in that document. To the left, that is controversial. My senator, Richard Blumenthal, is afraid women will lose their rights. An overturn of Roe V Wade (we're also a million miles away from that) doesn't outlaw abortion. It sends the question to the states. Very., very few states would outlaw abortion. |

Hard tellin, not knowin
Brett Kavanaugh, who President Donald Trump nominated to replace the retiring Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy, previously contributed to a 1998 report that made a case for President Bill Clinton's impeachment. This experience has shaped Kavanaugh's belief that presidents should not be indicted or distracted by investigations while in office. "Whether the Constitution allows indictment of a sitting President is debatable," he has said. Kavanaugh instead believes impeachment is the proper way to deal with a president's serious and "dastardly" misbehavior. Donald Trump's pick for a seat on the Supreme Court is Brett Kavanaugh, a man who holds strong opinions on whether a president should be indicted or impeached. A Yale Law graduate, Kavanaugh started his career as an associate counsel with special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, where he helped draft the report that recommended Clinton should be impeached for having an extramarital affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The report laid out 11 possible grounds for impeachment, including how misleading the public and lying to staff amounted to obstruction of justice. These findings have become particularly relevant as special counsel Robert Mueller, who is heading the Russia investigation, considers actions Trump has taken that could possibly be considered obstruction of justice. But despite his experience co-authoring the report, or rather because of it, Kavanaugh has become an ardent supporter of a president's power. |

As for a million miles from Trump being indicted, I think we're a few months away from several very high profile indictments, maybe even family. Unless Mueller has something just blatantly criminal against Trump I doubt he'll try and indict a sitting President...let Congress impeach him. |

Which doesn't contradict what I said... "let Congress impeach him" If there's an impeachable offense, sure. As to Kavanaugh. He said last night that Elana Kagan hired him to teach law at Harvard. Isn't that interesting... You said you expected it to be civil. We shall soon see. The protesters were out in force immediately, and I saw Princess Liz Warren, raising her fist at their podium, showing her solidarity. It appears that Princess Lie-awatha wants the scalp of the Great White Chief, and that her ultimate goal, is his tee-pee. All the women will either be dead or in internment camps, if you listen to Sen Blumenthal or Sen Corey Booker, who apparently get their tin foil hats at the same store. Trump publicly offered to donate $1 million to Warren's favorite charity, if she'd take a DNA test. She hasn't taken him up on it yet, I can't imagine why. |
No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination. Mr. President,
from last night doesn't sound very independent He learns quick you must Praise the Donald |

In his 1987 autobiography "The Art of the Deal," Donald Trump repeated the lie that his family was from Sweden. He later admitted that was untrue, and claimed German heritage in later books. |

And you can only fault the person calling her out for her lies? She isn't culpable at all? She didn't do anything wrong in your eyes? |
Quote:
Trump is a scumbag. So is Warren. See? I can criticize a liar on my side, and my head didn't explode. Can you do it? Can you call Warren what she is? |

The only evidence is that she misrepresented herself for to get a leg up on a potential job. Not the worst person but certainly a lack of character.

Why would I equate Warren with Trump?
While I don’t agree with her on many political issues I think she has far more integrity than Donnie Bonespur http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...-native-ameri/ Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Harvard, in some kind of professor profile, made mention of it. |

But you can't., You can't bring yourself to say "she lied to get a job she wanted". everyone in the world knows that's exactly what happened. |

Harvard Law School professor Charles Fried, who served as U.S. Solicitor General under President Ronald Reagan and was part of the committee that put Warren in a tenure position, said in a written statement that her ethnicity never came up during the process.
Fried, who donated $250 to Warren's campaign, told the Republican, a Springfield, Mass., newspaper, in 2012, "This stuff I hear that she was an affirmative action hire, got some kind of a boost, it is so ludicrous and so desperately stupid and ignorant, it just boggles the mind."

If you don't agree with Kavanaugh's nomination at the very least pick another name off the list of 25 that you would support and say why.

I think she genuinely believes she has some ancestry. This is just a political hit job to smear a woman with a pretty impressive resume. |
