Kavenaugh OMG

WheatToast · 09-05-2018, 09:35 PM

Has anyone been watching the confirmation hearings, where the GOP is attempting to affirm Brett Kavenaugh as the next Supreme Court justice?
I have never seen a more blatant attempt by Republicans to force their will on American citizens.
To save time, he is AGAINST everything most women, Democrats and sane people are FOR, and he's FOR issues that would outlaw a woman's right to have an abortion, things that would be bad for the environment, workers, the first amendment, sensible gun laws, and other issues that would allow Trump to further destabilize everything he touches, thinks about, or whatever else Putin tells him to do.
Perhaps his worst position would be to make it illegal to investigate, subpoena, impeach, indict or convict a president of anything while in office.

YES, I've been taping it tho mostly! I LOVED LOVED LOVED how Mazie Hirono handled him!

Of course even tho I extended the recording by an hour and a half it cut off right as Kamala Harris was starting to grill him!

I'm taping off of C-Span to avoid all the needless chatter by commentaries..

Good idea--C-Span is easier to watch.
The latest is, Kavenaugh has referred to birth control pills as "abortion inducing drugs."
It's a stunning new revelation.

I catch bits and pieces. I'd like to sit and watch it but can't. It'll just piss me off.

I wondered WTF was going with the interaction between Fred Guttenberg and Kavanaugh. Here's the deal...

I haven't been watching it, but I been getting all these "donate to me" emails from Kamala and Corey. Kavenaugh is going to be confirmed. The Dems are just posturing for 2020 or for the upcoming midterms. I am disgusted with them. Even so I'd vote for Kamala. Not Corey Booker though. He's owned by big Pharm. I'd vote third party first.

Wheat, didn't you just love it when he was grilled about filling out a two page form ...

Kamala Harris was impressive, as was Maize Hirono. I also thought Booker was legit and brave. I don't agree with everything he's done, (true of everyone in politics), but I think publicly releasing the confidential emails took courage and strong political will. Because of Booker's actions that hypocrite weasel, Grassley, can no longer make bogus national security claims about withholding Kavanaugh's records.

I'm in (political) love with Kamala this week. Damn, she's a tough prosecutor. Sadly, I agree with Martina. Despite how beautiful Kamala is in action, the Republicans are going to get their wish and Trump will have hired his own partisan judge.
