THINK HE’LL MAKE IT?
HOW COULD ADULT REPRESENTATIVES OF ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE ACTED SO BADLY YESTERDAY? I do understand their frustrations, they’re upset that their ideology might be damaged with a court which leans more Right than Left. We’d feel just the same were it the other way around. I even understand that they’re angry about Neil Gorsuch. I get that.
BUT ACT LIKE THEY DID? HAVE WE COME TO THIS? I’m so embarrassed every time Kamala Harris opens her mouth I want to cringe as badly as when Barbara Boxer stood up on the Senate floor to make a point holding a big chart with misspellings on it……or worse, because Kamala Harris is posturing for her political career, not for Americans, and she is so nasty and insulting. Not senatorial at all.
SO……..DO YOU THINK, AFTER ALL THIS, KAVANAUGH WILL GET A SEAT ON THE BENCH? Most experts say “no doubt about it.” I hope so.
DO you think they the Republicans should have given thousands of pages of his past decisions, etc? I remember when they passed Obama Care, only having given the TONS of information the Republicans wanted to see first, the night before, like the Reps just did about Kavanaugh’s information. I’d say the Obama Care vote was bigger than this justice……so……..why the outrage?
WILL IT BE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH? After his children had to be expelled for the nastiness of what their parents didn’t want them to see (after preparing them to come and be proud of their dad in this momentous and historic time in his life), why would Kavanaugh even want to?

Kavanaugh has been a popular jurist in all corners, widely respected by peers and repeatedly endorsed by politicians . . . UNTIL, of course, he became associated with DJT, at which time he suddenly transformed into an ogre and very possibly a vampire.
It’s not about what’s good or just or right or best for the nation — it’s all about WINNING for the sake of the party and getting on with Her Rotten Heinous’s long-overdue apotheosis.

Few thousand people without power this mornin ’cause a few guys didn’t trim their pine limbs which came down on the power lines. Everybody should be gettin lights back by early afternoon, local guessers say. Happens every few years. But no major flooding this time.
Take my word for it — you don’t want 12 inches of dirty water in your house for 12 hours. Total losses were around $50K and FEMA gave us $18.5 to fix it . . . make it livable, but not replace the ruined stuff, such as shoes, bedding, drapes, particle-board furniture, etc. . . . just flooring, sheetrock, cleanup, disinfectant, paint, that kinda stuff.

Kid, I hope so…….I am listening now and thinking “what the HECK is he saying?” Dayum if I didn’t know Dianne Feinstein was quite as sharp as she shows today. Hatch is coming off as a hack, disappointing ..”Gee, THIS lib judge says he’s good, and THAT lib judge says he’s good!”.. Which is all fine, but say something substantive. Feinstein did…..Kavanaugh said in a decision that semi-automatics were in “common use” and she nailed him with “they are NOT in common use” and he kind of weedled out of that badly…..
Anyway, he’s verbose, that’s for sure…and does seem bright.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Kavanaugh’s … particularly when they reiterated something today that I heard a few times in the last few weeks that bothered me BIG TIME, and that is “When I rule I take into consideration the problems of the person on trial (Z: I paraphrase largely to make the point) ”

They don’t need to do ANY research because they already packaged their revolt before the nomination.

One more: I AGREE with you about not taking the problems of the person involved into consideration in a general sense. That’s how juries award millions of dollars to people who completely created their own problem (like the frat boy who used a trampoline at the frat house in the dark of night while dead drunk and broke his neck and the university was held liable because they had the big $$$ to pay for his support for life).
Dennis Prager once was in a seminar with a California supreme court justice who said “I think my role as a judge is to fight for the disadvantaged” – I’m paraphrasing. Really? I hope our courts don’t run roughshod over the ‘little guy’ because a big corporate interest is on the stand if they are in the wrong. But when they’re in the right they deserve the same justice in court we all expect.
This is one of the things that MADE ENGLAD GREAT. For all its faults, it attracted tons of immigrants and refugees from the mess in Europe over the centuries. Italians from the Vatican ran the counting houses. Miners from Germany. Dike builders from Holland. Huguenots from France who made London the clock capital of the earth. One thing they ALL knew is regardless of how they were looked upon as outsiders, kept outside the margins of the the upper social structure, etc., they could expect a fair day in court in business disputes and have their contracts upheld. That
made England very attractive as a stable place to ply your business!

We cannot compare Trump to any president in modern times, say post Civil War. None of them either had such challenges or if they did, did not go into offensive mode against them. FDR – nightmare communist, Truman – left us with N Korea, Eisenhower built the national freeway system. JFK – got us to the moon, LBJ- disaster, Nixon/Ford – worthless, Carter -disaster, Reagan stood out – won the cold war, GHWBush, clinton, GWBush – worthless to disasters – clinton shipped all the mfg jobs out of country, Trump is fighting against countries who have been eating our lunch for decades and massive corruption in any significant agency in DC, people in the WH, the media, the hollywood crowd and the indoctrinated fascists running around showing up at Kavanaugh hearings cheered on by democrats and even democrat congress people begging the tards to do violence on fellow Americans if they look like they might be a republican supporter.

Here are the opening paragraphs of today’s blurb:
As I’ve said a brazillian times in the past few months, I just don’t get the intense and relentless opposition to a PotUS who’s makin things work right for a change. Can’t see the Hitler similarities, the dictator indicators, the “not presidential” animus. Can’t figure out what exactly the leftards WANT . . . a truly criminal female Fredo PotUS in the form of a greedy, selfish, bitter, hypocritical what’s-in-it-for-me loser?
Los Resisteros were promised repeatedly that the 2016 election would witness the Second Coming of Lucretia Borgia, and when it didn’t happen they flew into a nuclear tantrum which hasn’t yet run out of plutonium, OR venom, or absurdum.
Seems to me that they should be angry with the left-leaning mainstream media for lying to them so that they’d think that Hilarious Felonious’s apotheosis was a fait accompli. But instead of directing their anger at the source, they went for the ever-popular Judas goat gambit: blame the system, or go Muslimy – blame the Jews — or blame the Russians, or blame the deplorables, or blame the women.

All the Dems got was a primer in Constitutional law from a true originalist in the mold of Clarence Thomas and Antonio Scalia. Kavanaugh schooled one Dem after another. Whatever you think of Trump, he’s hit two grand slams with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. If he gets to put a third on the court he’ll change it for the better for at least a generation.
