Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh

[suchmoon]

....the right doesn't care as long as they get the 5th seat....

5th seat? You mean, the 6th, right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_leanings_of_United_States_Supreme_Court_justices

7th seat here we come...

That's not what that wikipedia page says:

Roberts
Thomas
Alito
Gorsuch
Kavanaugh

who's 6th?

[Quickseller]

Susan Collins should speak on the Senate floor shortly, and is expected to announce her intentions on how she will vote on the Kavanaugh nomination.

Edit: just as she started to speak, protestors from the Senate gallery overlooking the senate floor. She is now starting her speech.

She is now condemning the fake new being spread about Kavanaugh, and is condemning the special interest groups opposition before the identity of the nominee was known.

She is talking about how the assertions that Kavanaugh will strike down "pre-existing conditions" provisions in Obama care if/when Obama care is struck down as unconstitutional, and is countering that with several examples in which Kavanaugh argued to "surgically" remove unconstitutional provisions of laws, and uphold the remainder of said laws.

Now she is talking about how it is ridiculous that Trump should not be able to nominate anyone to the SC because of the meuller investigation, and says this is wrong because Clinton nominated Ginsberg and was approved 96-3
e
She appears to be laying the groundwork to supporting what seems likely to Vote 'yes' to the nomination.

Senator Collins is slamming those who say that Kavanaugh does not deserve the presumption of innocence, and other presumptions of fairness. She is defending these principals and giving the example of the Creepy Porn Lawyer's clients allegations as to why Kavanaugh needs to the presumption of innocence.

Senator Collins pointed out many inconsistencies in Professor Ford's story and testimony. One example she gave was that her lifelong friend who was allegedly at the party did not follow up with Ford after she stormed out of the party.  

Senator Collins just strongly condemned the person(s) who leaked Ford's letter to Senator Feinstein.

With Senator Collins' announcement that she will vote to confirm Kavanaugh, along with Senator Flake's yes vote, it sounds like Kavanaugh will have sufficient votes to get confirmed.

I was thinking of Kennedy, but maybe he's considered middle of the road.

That's great news.  I don't know why she voted "no" for the confirmations to move to debate, and then plans to vote "yes" to confirm Kavanaugh.  Weird.  None the less I'm glad she's voting to confirm.

This is a huge day for all Americans.  It means our constitution lives on.  Imagine if Hitlery had been elected and picked the nominees for these two seats now filled by Trump.  We would have 6 justices hellbent on dismantling the constitution, starting (of course) with our right to defend ourselves.  Activists professing "living document" drivel as an excuse to destroy this country.

Now, can we impeach RBG for sleeping on the job?  I don't wish any ill will towards anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, but damn it would be nice if she kicked the bucket before Trumps term is up...  













In 2025

....

No, she's not Republican. Always first ask that before saying something bad about any of these people.

Do you need any additional lessons in correct-think?



What's scary is not that Hillary might have gotten a couple drone-puppets in these jobs but that ordinary people fall for it so quickly and easily.

[allahabadi]

I can't believe a possible rapist will become supreme justice. It is scary as hell.

A possible rapist has been the POTUS in past.

So why wouldn't you believe this ?

[suchmoon]

We're talking about Kavanaugh because Kennedy retired.

I don't know why she voted "no" for the confirmations to move to debate, and then plans to vote "yes" to confirm Kavanaugh.

Collins voted "yes" for the debate.

You guys really need to get that fake news shit sorted out LOL.

You are thinking of Senator Murkowski from Alaska. She still plans on voting 'no' however Republicans can afford to lose one Senator with no Democrat votes, and Senator Manchin from West Virginia announced he will cross party lines and vote yes.

Thanks for the correction.  You're right, I confused the two.

I was in a Webex meeting and trying to listen to the votes at the same time.  That's why I wasn't able to separate fact from fiction.

Fun fact: You are a possible rapist.

What I can't believe, and find scary as hell is how people can be so gullible.

Bill Cosby was also a possible rapist for many years before he was a convicted rapist.

Playing with words is fun if you're purposely being decisive in the argument here.

In reality, there's testimony against him. The investigation into that testimony was fairly limited and therefore found no evidence. However, it's absolutely known that he's a liar, by hearsay (and absolutely refusal to take sworn testimony).

Let's get serious for a  few minutes here. Let's think of this from a technocrat's stance. Where do law professionals stand on this issue? Should he be appointed, what does the public think.

Last count was 2200 voting "absolutely not".

Like actually use that same logic with TPPA and Economics: http://ccsi.columbia.edu/2016/10/03/220-law-and-economics-professors-sign-letter-opposing-isds-in-the-tpp/

220 vs 2200? that's an insane amount of technocratic leaders weighing in on the issue.

I got news for you.  Almost everyone in power (politicians , film directors, CEOs) they are part of child sex trafficking and occult sex rituals. This whole thing runs really deep and most don't really understand how widespread it is.

1 - FIFY

2 - Why do you think anyone would care what a bunch of law professors think?

[Megaquake]

Brett Kavanaugh=the defender of our constitution, hopefully bring down the corruption of the US senate/congress.

It has already shed some light on the shady practice of some.

[Spendulus]

.....that's an insane amount of technocratic leaders weighing in on the issue.

Apparently they're not with the program.

them....

"Technocratic leaders..."

Interesting details about Dr. Ford

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4815494.msg46559764#msg46559764

apparently she's behind some mind-control op masquerading as "psychiatry"

Why CNN is showing how crazy feminists interrupt the congressional hearing? Do they think it's kinda cool? Looks extremely ugly from the outside.

[BitPotus]

What should actually scare you is that a certain section of society is saying that any female can now accuse a male of sexual assault without a shred of

evidence and that this is ok.

Wow, this whole time I thought I was responding to a very vague, general, and practically universally applicable designation, effectively making it senseless, but apparently I am "playing with words". Thanks for educating me. BTW the word is divisive, unless you are telling me I have resolved this conflict.
