1. He's like a right-wing Forrest Gump. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. THIS is what's wrong with him. It's not that he espouses a conservative

judicial philosophy; it's that for most of his career he has been a highly partisan political operative, not a judge. He is likely to be worse than Gorsuch, who is essentially a Scalia clone who thinks the Constitution is a dead document that should be interpreted as if it was still 1789. Kavanaugh, on the other hand, is likely to be the worst sort of judicial instrumentalist - someone who will interpret laws and the Constitution to serve a particular political agenda, not a particular constitutional philosophy.

3. Bingo! Collins, Murkowski, Manchin and Heidkamp will enable this evil

[emulatorloo]

20. I think Manchin will come through if Schumer needs him

He wants his constituents to have Obamacare as well.

JMHO

22. I was listening to msnbc today. Might be up to 5 Dems in red states swho will say yes.

[dalton99a]

24. +1. Kavanaugh is a political puppet.

[joshcryer]

29. Indeed, that is precisely why they won't release his documents.

It shows without a doubt years of ideologically motivated bullshit.

[rzemanfl]

4. There are still "Terri was murdered" bumperstickers to be seen here. K&R. n/t

[lostnfound]

17. There are also right wingers who hated Bush's decision on this.

The idea of being incapacitated and on life support is abhorrent and terrifying to some.

[Grasswire2]

5. he has been a real player

Be sure to read David Brock's essay on him.

[Roland99]

6. Yeah saw that. Tells about all one needs to know and...

proves the GOP only cares about power and money

Ethics? Ha
Morality? Pffft
Rule of Law? You’re kidding right?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Might as well appoint Karl Rove or Steve Bannon.

[FakeNoose]

14. Exactly this!

He's a party hack, and now he's getting a cushy payoff for all the years he put in as a toadie.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Rotten bastard.

He can NOT be seated on the Supreme Court. He is not only unqualified, he is highly partisan and a criminal.

[underpants]

9. I didn't think we were supposed to remember Terri Schiavo

or the 2006 midterms

[Igel]

30. He was staff secretary.

It was his job. Now, I know that my boss is fine with me only doing the parts of my job I agree with, on the timeline that I think is best.

Just like yours.

Maybe he was gung-ho for the Schiavo bill, maybe he wasn't. His actions, as far as I know them, are neutral wrt that question.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. didn't know this...that whole episode was a disaster...

That was sick and disgusting what they did to the Schaivo family.

Makes Kavanaugh a twisted ghoul on top of being a christofascist theocrat.

[spanone]

11. K&R...

[bluestarone]

12. wish

This was discussed at the hearings!!!!!!!!! (wonder why it wasn't?)

[mcar]

13. Well that just tears it for me!

This idiot shouldn't be let within a mile of the Supreme Court. I worked for a hospice for many years. What that case did...

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. He is such a nightmare.

[NBachers]

16. Jesus, this guy is a vicious fucking monster

[Roland99]

18. Is it worse? Is he linked to Iraq War justification?

[Quixote1818]

19. God! He is like every worst kind of diarrhea possible all in one! nt

[Delmette2.0]

21. Oh goodie..

Take away our modern health care, medicare and medicaide then keep us on life support indefinitely supplied by modern health care but paid for by individuals. WTF!

[czarjak]

23. But...

His faith?

[They_Live]

25. The more you know...

ugh. what a jerk.

[dalton99a]

26. He fits "Only The Best" in Trumpworld

The best party hack. The most corrupt and dishonest.

[Hekate]

27. Schiavo!? Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch.

Add that to all rhe rest, and what a loathsome cockroach.

[BigmanPigman]

28. Why aren't more people in the streets protesting this?

Hardly anyone came to the protests two weeks ago. I know some people are calling and writing but not enough. Does the US population sleep under a rock? Of course the ones who do nothing will be the first and loudest to complain when the new SCOTUS starts handing down far right wing decisions about abortion, ACA pre-existing conditions, gay marriage, immigration rights, unions, etc.

[bluestarone]

31. Not sure but maybe because

Not ONE MSM has said one dam thing about this? We hear about it HERE but OTHERS do not know this!! The HEARING would have been an excellent place to drop this news?? How can we get the NEWS (CNN,MSNBC) to provide this info?

[BigmanPigman]

33. While walking home with my neighbor

from the RISE FOR CLIMATE rally yesterday she said to me, "Why don't we see any news cameras?". I told her that there were none at the Stop Kavanaugh two weeks ago either. She said CNN is owned by so and so so they are pushing a certain agenda at the top and I told her the same is true for MSNBC. $$$ and ratings are the name of the game. Of all the protests I have been to (about 19) only about 5 in the past 1 1/2 years were covered on the MSM. THAT is what we are up against. If people do not see it they do not know it is going on, and Fux Ruse certainly won't cover it, but when the other media outlets don't we know we do not have their support. When MSNBC and CNN showed a 45 min tRump rally about 6 months ago I blew up and called them a lot. I could see another 2016 all over again when they showed his rallies for 20 min with an empty podium and stage waiting for the orange one to bless us all with an appearance while Hillary couldn't get 5 min air time to discuss issues. Maybe others also called since now they have stopped showing his BS rallies uninterrupted. We need to all call about the other black outs of our protests and demand coverage.

32. I'm utterly confused ProLifeProGunProDeath? for some ?

This is where the so called prolife and progun movement gets very distorted.


A fetus is a baby while still in the womb

But once the baby is born, all concerns for their well being vanishes in thin air

A braindead person is still alive

But keep them hooked up to a machine, even though they are legally dead

AND GUNS

How can they justify the guns aimed at our school kids?

Where's the Prolifers when these kids are gunned down?

Why don't they care about the deaths of these children?

WON'T SOMEONE THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!

I mean seriously WTELF
