If somebody brings a case then they have to decide whether address it. I can see them being petitioned by people who think there's a chance to overturn it. Then they have to make a decision.
If this investigation uncovers something substantial which leads to the non-confirmation of Kavanaugh (and Flake votes no) , I'd praise him as well.
Basically, Kavanaugh isn't SCOTUS today because Flake and Coons are pals who got into a phone booth to ask Rosenstein if he could do an investigation in 7 days.
Any other Dem President I'd agree, but I'm not convinced the Clinton clan actually wants it overturned (of course they will say anything to get elected). People have to realize that some of us, our families and our communities were directly ravaged by Clintonian policies in the 90s - particularly all the superpredator tough on crime, 3 strikes crap but also DOMA, the dismantling of welfare safety nets and then FSMA and CFMA.
Fool me once shame on you, but fool me two, three, four times? Not happening.
Well and also because Murky and Collins don't want the exposure of a yes vote if they can get away with it.
So your default compromise option is Trump then?
jesus christPraise him if Kavanaugh's voted down, if you really want to. Just after he's actually voted Kavanaugh through committee (despite the guy having lied through his hearing) and done a slight backtrack to save himself face after being publicly shamed, though?
That's a bizarre red herring to make
It’s either one or the other isn’t it. If there’s another option than the two major party nominees then I’m all ears.
I mean, there's some fairly decent evidence that Hillary Clinton wasn't a fan of the Citizens United ruling.
If he voted no in committee that would end the nomination though. The other option would be to delay that proceeding but I am not sure if it would be possible.
I dont believe that people must vote for one of the two big parties.
If neither party has an attractive candidate then its the fault of the party not the voters who choose not to support a candidate that has already done a lot of damage to communities
Even if it might save the country from all the shit happening like right now?
This thread is in danger of a HRC vs. Bernie derailment
Blame Frosty
Indeed. Its way too early to praise Flake for anything.
Isn't that what a Democrat tried to pressure Kavanaugh to agree to in the hearing?
You're not going to get any Republicans to be harder on a Republican's nominee than the most 'reasonable' Democrat.
Yep...to which he tap danced around the question.
Well said that man. It's down to how how individuals live with their conscience and rationalise their choice. I don't blame those who didn't vote for Hillary for reasons like you stated. I blame the apathetic voters who couldn't be arsed to vote and I blame those that voted for Trump.
This shit is getting boring though. It's over 2 years in now and people are still banging on about Hillary and you are having to defend and explain your position at least once a week.
It's done now. Can't we move on from this shit?
Yep. I've had to take steps re my sister and the whole Brexit fiasco.
Wheat from the chaff time.
Spondulicks, as in Benjamin Franklin
My guess would be $100
Nah, the usual suspects must always respond to any slight against Bernie, or something about Hillary, or yadda yadda.
Under normal circumstances, that alone should be enough to see him dropped. Unfortunately, very little is normal about the current circumstances.
Anyone see Sasse's spiel? I've seen a few FB posts praising it. I found it good at some points but lost in the entire spiel is that he's still nominating a partisan hack to serve on the SCOTUS. Which goes against the entire premise of his spiel about the people.
What has any of that got to do with anything? Dr. Ford partied in college, so that means... I don't know, that she's as bad as the man who tried to rape her?
Then again, it was posted by a Federalist contributor who frequently retweets Cernovich, so it might as well be the ramblings of an insane person.
Also, the right-wingers are right now busy painting Ford as a teenage alcoholic who slept around.
that's a fact.
Just saw the clip of Durbin questioning Kavanaugh about resisting an FBI investigation. It does say a lot about the latter.
I still think so called FBI background checks will prove that that guy drank a lot and probably even had an issue with alcohol back then. And Republicans will say so there was no evidence for sexual assaults. We confirm him and That's it.
They would not give a dam about his other lies.
Bill Clinton's SC nominations are pretty safe left.
Obama's were to the right of those. I'm certain Hillary's would have been to the right of Sotomayor and Kagen.

Probably.
But his resistance and the resistance to an investigation in general is interesting to say the least.
Had Hilary won, they'd have forced a vote on Merrick Garland.
Who is centrist by all account and liked by the GOP.
That is an odd thing to post. Many young sexual assault victims go off the rails as teens. Besides, her conduct after the event isn't an issue here. She's not the one being nominated.
