If many actually followed Jesus maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

I find it hilarious that the evangelical base supports Trump. The biggest con man known to man who is as religious as a tree stump.

they didn’t support trump when there were better alternatives. Once he won the primary, it was him or hilary. No evangelical will support her. you know this, come on.

Do they typically bring them to confirmation hearings?
How do you think he explained Trump’s actions and political speech to his children?

His young daughters were rushed out of the room, and you can't condemn it. Amazing.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is very strong in you.
He doesn't have to explain Trump's actions to his children. Are you responsible for what your CEO does? Put down the Kool Aid, take a breath, and think for a moment. The liberal agitators forced this man's young children to be rushed out of the room.
How many arrests were made at the confirmation hearings of racist maniac Sotomayor? Or Kagan?

It's UNBELIEVABLE. They can never, ever criticize their own side. It's Kavanaugh's fault for bringing his kids to the biggest event of his life, a place where obviously kids should feel safe.

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.

Oddly enough they later returned to the hearing as usual Faux has turned it into something it’s not
There’s an amendment that came before the one you so staunchly defend that gives us the right to political speech. Sometimes it’s not pretty

I didn’t make a judgment, I asked a question
Who was the lunatic right wing person escorted out of the Twitter hearing, but Faux didn’t cover that

4 arrests. compared to what, 80 atbthe kavanaugh hearings? at sotomayors and kagans hearings, how many times did delicratsbget rushed out of the room for safety reasons?
it’s not isolated pete. look at what happened at tea party rallies during the early days, compared to occupy wall street, black lives matter, and now antifa. look at what happens when conservatives get invited to speak at colleges, compared to what happens when liberals try to speak. my side doesn’t riot like your side does, when we don’t get what we want. not everyone in my side is good, not everyone in your side is bad. but in terms of tactics used, and who resorts to mayhem and feral rioting? no comparison. none. and you know it.

Pisses off the old white men, doesn't it?
Maybe far more people care about this
Better go burn your sneakers and smash your coffeemaker
I was going to post a youtube video of Baby Donnie Bonespur aka John Baron leading one of his "rallies" , calling his justice department fake, the media liars, calling for the arrest of political rivals, not prosecuting his cohorts and all the believers chanting.
But that is all fine with you as long as you get what you want, you can't believe that anyone who is not on that wagon is not liberal.
They have the right to do it just like McConnell had the right to not hold hearings for Merrick Garland.

Question his judgement bringing his children, he certainly must have known how rough the initial hearing was going to be.

Trump is not Kavanaugh's would be boss. If I was going to Congress for something as rare and fantastic as that I would bring my kid too.
But maybe we need to look at it now as the default state of Dems is protesting.
As bad as Trump has been at many things (and it is bad) I don't really believe that if anyone else had been there the protests would be the same. They would protest Romney if hew was Pres.

I think you are failing to grasp that the protests are not so much about the nominee but for the railroading to nominate him, the block in of records and the joke of the question and answer process in th confirmation process.

That may be true of the democrats seated for the hearing, but those in the gallery are protesting the nominee. And some of those are actually protesting the guy who nominated him, and the nominee is just collateral damage.

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?

Aren't you the one who constantly compares something Clinton or Obama said once to what Trump says hundreds of times as if they are the same yet this is somehow different?
