				 | TERM LIMITS!  This circus wouldn’t exist if we had term limits and then maybe just maybe in the words of JFK; they wouldn’t be seeking a democratic or republican answer but the right answer.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I guess I missed the part where Merrick Garland’s integrity and reputation were destroyed on national TV.
 
Other than that, it’s still not really the same thing

 Thank you for keeping Rhode Island the laughing stock of the United States.

 |  Like TDF said 
Blocking tactics of Garland were not even close to the last 2 weeks of character assasination I have witnessed by the Left and you are OK with that because Trump.

 |  Gotta agree w/wdmso on this one.  
 
Doesn't have anything to do w/Trump.
 
K sounds like he had a drinking problem back in HS and college (as many of us did) and kept bobbing and weaving when he was asked about it. 
 
When asked about a 5 day delay to let the FBI open back up the background checks he looked like a deer in the headlights and refused to answer and kept stumbling around before saying "I'll do whatever the committee decides" when he knew Trump would never open up the investigation.  To clear my name I'd want the FBI to take statements and if anyone lies let them go to jail (like Papadopolus and Flynn).  W/o that there will always be talk about his assault. 
 
His crying about Clinton and conspiracy theories was a joke and anyone with these crazy thoughts shouldn't on the court.  How can he even pretend to rule fairly on a Dem now?
 
Too bad there aren't SCOTUS term limits.

Tactics are just that. bullets or bombs one is not more honorable than the other  
 
not sure how the right can even complain about character assassination it's been in their play book for decades  and used committed daily by Trump  from an article 
 
Trump has insulted over the last few years. He has insulted former President Obama with his birtherism charge. He has insulted Gold Star families. He has insulted the late honorable U.S. Sen. John McCain. He has insulted Bill and Hillary Clinton. He has insulted his fellow party members who sought the GOP nomination for President — Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. He has insulted Mexicans, Muslims and women. He even insults and attacks his own Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. He has insulted both GOP leaders, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, and Democratic members of Congress.
 
He even at one point insulted his Ambassador to the United Nations back when she stood up to remove Confederate statues, when he said, “The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley.” He has attacked U.S. companies and corporation. He has insulted the leaders of our our allied countries. And, of course he has consistently attacked the “fake media.”   none of based on truth  if this isn't a form  character assassination  not sure what is
 
Again the right assumes those women are liars in a grand conspiracy 
 
Do I think what happened in Highschool should have any bearing on his life's work..  no I do not   
 
But  please his party sowed the seeds and  they served him up as a sacrificial lamb ..  they though the Dem were going to lay down as always and they did not 
 
and nationally 43 percent oppose, 38 percent support  this was before all this drama .. hence the rush to push him thru before the midterms the GOP can't have both ways |

I was astonished with his partisan attacks and claiming conspiracy theories. As I said weeks ago, he's a plant. The Republicans refusal to investigate a credible accusation is quite telling. |

				 | Most people react with emotion when falsely accused of a serious crime. 
Not all accusers are correct in the recollection of who it was that harmed them.
 
case in point  https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/the...homas-webb-iii 
Term limits would be great Bob, get your Rep and Senators to back a bill to get this rolling, I fully support that and don't understand why it was not implemented when the term limits for POTUS was put in place. |

Paul, none of us have any control of this sad situation but if this charade can be allowed it sets a bad precedent moving forward. |

I don't know but he did seem to have a drinking problem back in hs and college.  Reports of passing out and not remembering things. 
And I suppose if you were in his shoes, you could perform much better in that job interview from hell.If I was in his shoes I would be screaming holy he=ll to have the FBI investigate and put everyone under oath.  - Yet he refused to say he would do that when given numerous opportunities. 
Paul, none of us have any control of this sad situation but if this charade can be allowed it sets a bad precedent moving forward. |  So why was it a charade other than the committee refusing to call people to testify that could answer the various unanswered questions people have? |

				 | I don't think it is up to him to have the FBI get involved so why should he ask for more delays
 the piling on with accusations is farcicle
 
 
 His qualifications are more than adequate, I am sick of our government arguing among themselves and not getting work done to appoint people to jobs.
