Kavanaugh Nailed -- Portland Press Herald editorial

Republicans not caring about incompetent judges, typical. Heck, Kavanaugh has never tried a case, from what I hear.

Hes not an incompetent judge. Thats just stupid.

Fletch said:

Why not be honest for once? You never wanted such a judge in the first place.And what price is that?

Click to expand...

What sort of Judge? That question makes no sense, do mean Conservative Pro-Life? If that is the case you are wrong for several reasons:
I disagreed with the Repubs withholding hearings for Obama's SC candidate, and obvious political move done so without even considering the candidate, just wrong. All Presidential candidates should be at least considered and given a hearing, no matter who selected them.
Secondly all the judges on Trump's list were Pro-Life, so it really did not matter on that point. Plus I do not think the SC, with or without this candidate, will overturn R v W, the Law we have in Texas is as about as far as the SC will ever allow Stares to go and they rarely ever overturn previous SC rulings. So no concern there.
The reason, and main reason for me finding him as unfit for the SC comes down to his opening statement to the Senate Committee. After watch his rant which was very disturbing to say the least, his comments and demeanor were lacking for someone that wants to be appointed to the SC for Life. Pick someone better emotionally suited for the court, they won't.
I will add that I find it disingenuous in the way the Republicans handled this appointment, they and trump proved without a doubt they were never interested in finding the truth if the accusations and were going to confirm him no matter what was found, just more Partisan Politics.
I will let you find out the answer to your last question on your own, believe me you will not miss the impact on your personal life. So when things turn to chite abf you are busy screaming about the evil Libs or other Nations take a moment and ask yourself how we got to this point, you just might have that sweet c#$p moment and realize you got played, it won't change anything but at least you will be seeing the world through open eyes. Good Luck.

Yes it is disgusting, but I am kavanaughs age and that is exactly what be F's stood for, with .minor variations from here to there.

It was common in the military as well...

Kavanaugh can look forward to Demcratic House investigations, an impeachment and if all that fails, his position being minimized by a court stacking.

[emoji38] good luck with that. By all means - launch an effort to impeach every conservative Justice. Count it as an in-kind donation to the effort to reelect Trump in 2020.

Because, I don't know if you've noticed, but y'all are uniting the Right behind him with this idiotic smear campaign.


Hey, maybe you could have Avenetti lead the effort. That seems to going swimmingly thus far.

Republicans will not be rewarded by seating Kavanaugh using this process.

The regular one? :roll:

Though it is interesting; a similar argument (that we cannot teach the Left that unsubstantiated smears are enough to bring down conservative nominees, lest suddenly every one of them be faced with them) is currently prevalent on the right.

Brett Kavanaugh lied to the committee, repeatedly, under oath.

Click to expand...

I would say his behavior was consistent with someone attempting to minimize. However, while I have seen many people claim he lied under oath, I have yet to see anyone able to actually demonstrate it; most of the claims of perjury seem to depend on misquoting him, and then attacking the strawman, or attempts to mind-read the in-house slang of a group of boys from 35 years ago.

How dare a man sit there and defy a panel of crooked and dishonest democrat assholes who used this lady as a 11th hour stall tactic.

Democrats themselves will go to no lengths for power, even when it comes to destroying a man or woman's reputation for political gain.

Ya'll did and said the same thing with Clarence Thomas and almost ruined him.

Meanwhile ya'll praised the likes of the swimmer of Chappaquiddick, and the president who handed out fat lips.

But we have never had a Supreme Court nominee who ripped off the nonpartisan mask the way Kavanaugh did Thursday and identified himself as an enemy of a political party that represents the policy preferences of millions of Americans.

Let me get this: Democrats screwed him in a very partisan way (admitting way before even this whole fiasco came up that they mean to stop his confirmation at all cost, because of his personal opinion and he's an appointee of Trump)......

.........and yet, he can't defend himself by pointing out their partisanship in screwing him????




We're not talking about just merely making him lose money here, you know. We're talking about annihilating his whole life's achievements, and reducing his name and reputation (notwithstanding his own family's too) to ruins - and this author of this editorial that you've found to be the "best" slammed him for that?

Why are some folks on here talking as if he 100% sexually abused this person? The people she named denies it and he denies it yet here we are being 100% sure he is a rapist. The person Ford claimed drove her home even says she didn't. What is this? Oh, that's right. A way for the left to prevent a Republican from being nominated to the Supreme Court.

You are aware this is SUPPOSED to be a nonpartisan post correct?

More bull****. While I find many of Trumps antics objectionable, there isnt a single action or policy that he has put froward that I disagree with. He is the most conservative, pro-American president in recent history. Thats why I support him

OscarLevant said:

1. Her comment was ad hominem, not partisan ( Trump is neither a lib or conservative )
2. She did it with poise.
3. She apologized.

And..

1. She didn't go into a whiney angry snively conspiracy theory rant ( like Kavanaugh )
2. She didn't blame anything on any party ( like Kavanaugh )
3. She has a high approval rate, and was voted in by 93% of the senate ( unlike Kavanaugh ).
4. She demonstrated judicial temperament required of a judge during her hearing for SCOTUS ( unlike Kavanaugh )

Click to expand...

RBG is an all in liberal. A PROUD leftist. Anyone stupid enough to claim otherwise isnt worthy of the time of day.

As for Kavanaughs response...its hillarious watching the idiot leftists trying to squeeze mielage out of his comments. He wasnt 'applying for a job'...what a stupid comment. He wasnt acting as a judge or officer of the court...again...what a stupid comment. He was responding to the incessant attacks by a bunch of mindless partisan twats that have labelled hima rapist based on the accusation of one person from an alleged incident 4 decades ago...allegations from a woman that cant remember the YEAR, let alone month or day...which is so OBVIOUSLY bull**** that you would HAVE to be a mindless leftist twat to swallow the lie. That accuser cant remember where the party was...how she got TO the gathering, has changed her story numerous times regarding who was there, the layout of the home, who allegedly witnessed the alleged assault, how she got home, and how none of the other 6 people have ANY recollection of such a gathering in the first place...which you would think ODD if one of the 7 people in that gathering...one of only 2 girls in that alleged gathering...just up and vanished and no one missed her, no one noticed she was gone, no one though it noteworthy or warranted even a call to the girl to see if she was OK. But based on THAT claim, mindless leftist twats have attacked the man, his wife, his children. You want decorum after months of personal attacks? He should have told them all to **** off. He should have nailed Corey Booker publicly for his own ADMITTED sexual assault,. He shoudl have drilled that piece of **** Blumenthal for his lies and stolen valor. He was forceful in his own defense...but was no where NEAR as brutal as what he should have been.

If Kavanaugh were to be on the bench he would have to recuse himself everytime a Democrat is involved.

Move along Trump. Nominate someone else.

Ginsberg made anti-Trump statements during the campaign. Nobody has suggested that she needs to recuse herself whenever a case involving the USA government shows up.

There is your Opinion, and it is your right to be Wrong. But thanks for clearing up my original thought when claimed you open minded, so thanks for clearing up that thought.
Have a Great Day

OscarLevant said:

Her comments were ad hominem, to the man, NOT partisan, as Trump is neither a conservative nor a liberal.

She didn't accuse him of some conspiracy theory, there was no mention of party or anything partisan, she didn't blow off the handle in a sniveling whiney entitled rage, she wasn't accused of attempted rape or sexual misconduct, like Kavanaugh, and she sure as hell didn't do it during her senate hearing.

Moreover, she apologized for the comments. With a guy like Trump, I'll cut her some slack.

Click to expand...

Kavanaugh was being asked if he was a gang rapist. A little more harsher than who would be elected president.
Cut Kavanaugh the same slack.

OscarLevant said:

Very few people possess the caliber required in the Supreme Court. the average man could never do it but whoever planson applying for that job must be up to the task I'm sorry but Kavanaugh blew it he failed miserably

If you don't want your name dragged in the mud then don't swim in it and revel in it when you do as evidenced by his letter to his buds signed FFFFF Bart

FYI FFFFF = find 'em, feel 'em, finger 'em, **** 'em and forget 'em.

12 years of work on the DC Bench, highly respected and well thought of, "WRECKED by a Televised appearance where he was strongly defending himself. Yep, that sounds about right for highly emotional and unthinking people.

trixare4kids said:

Your op-ed author certainly has a right to their opinion, but should not the FBI investigation that the left begged for be the deciding opinion?

I dare anyone to sit in front of the entire nation and act as reserved as Kavanaugh after having their good name dragged through the mud. Only if one thinks the next SC justice should be an emotionless robot does the author of your smear piece have a justifiable point.

the OP is simply posting what we call confirmation bias.
that is all that matters to him.

he doesn't care about facts.

it isn't worth responding to him.

It reminds me of one of my kids tattling on the other for hitting him back. And yet, if you read the transcript, Kavanaugh didn't even do that.

Democrats' anger over this incident is going to be pervasive. How long do you think Republicans can sustain their sugar high after he's confirmed? Four weeks is a long way away. In any case, the midterms don't hinge on Republicans not showing up, but left-of-center voters showing up.

They already had that, and will likely maintain that as the Trump administration's daily existence is an offense to then. What they are doing now is ensuring Republicans get energized as well.

Mid terms (and, I think, a case can now be made, Presidential years as well) are about Base Turnout. Democrats are currently helping Republicans with theirs, just as Trump helps Democrats every time he does something stupid and offensive.

The Republican base was always going to turn out (I've argued this multiple times before). But come the midterm, any increased energy from the Kavanaugh issue will be ancient history. Pure anger doesn't extinguish so quickly.

So your argument is that Republicans are more emotionally stable, mature, and less hate-filled than Democrats?


The Democrats in this case managed something Trump never did, and that Hillary never did, and that the controversy over Moore never did; they united the Right in an energized manner. They will do less well this midterm election than they would have done had they not decided to go full-crazy.

I would say that I hope they learn from that... But I think their base will punish them if they try.
