Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to Retire

[Zombie]

Are you speaking English?

If Trump withdraws this nomination (and I think he should, not because of the allegations but because I believe Kavenaugh's temperament has been exposed and it is not what it should be) then I am confident that the left is going to do this same thing to his next appointee. And they're not going to handle it privately like they ought to. They are going to orchestrate their attack for their maximum political advantage, regardless of the human damage that might cause. Just exactly like they have this time.

I don't understand why anyone thinks this when they didn't do this with the Scalia vacancy which was stolen from them outright. Makes no sense.

I re-read this and figured out what you are saying. I agree with you that it's too bad Feinstein choose to use this info for her maximum political advantage rather than handling it professionally as she should have.

I've yet to hear a good answer for this, tell me, what advantage did Feinstein gain by NOT bringing this allegation to light during the initial confirmation hearings? Kavanagh would have been caught unawares and the Democrats would have had more time to question him. The FBI investigation is going to be wrapped up with plenty of time before the midterms anyway so what gives?

Srsly this story line is insane

Diane Feinstein forced a soft spoken and respected middle aged professional woman to accuse Bart O of attempted rape? She must have forced the other women too? She didn't to Gorsuch because she didn't have her psychic hypnotic powers a year ago?

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Why didn't they do that to Gorsuch?

The Republicans were in control and pulled a dirty trick, though not one designed to destroy people's lives like what we have just seen. They had no need to blindside anyone at the eleventh hour because they were in a position to make sure that no eleventh hour ever came. I would like to think they wouldn't have handled it in the way the Dems just did had they been forced to move forward, but politicians never cease to disappoint, so they probably would.

If the Dems get control of the Senate in the mid-terms will you be surprised if they employ the same strategy that the Republicans pulled on Gorsuch?

The only reason this story line even exists is so Republicans can feel better about their party nominating such a terrible candidate because, look the other side is bad too!

That didn't answer his question.

You clearly didn't figure it out

This ain't about Feinstein

Maximum chaos and delay is the only explanation I can come up with because I agree with you that it could of and should have been dealt with when it was initially presented to Feinstein. I doubt that many Republicans would have objected to an FBI investigation had it been handled that way. The reason they objected the way it was handled is that they perceived it as a last minute dirty trick (which is exactly what it was).

I know that you believe that the terrible way this has played out is entirely due to Republicans. I was pointing out that Feinstein is the one who turned it into a last minute, high-pressure, politicized, blown-anonymity situation.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

That didn't answer his question.

It did too.

It's not insane if you believe that there's a Deep State directed by the all knowing Clinton Crime Cartel that's funded by George Soros and hates blue collar worker Donald Trump.

The poor Kochs, Mercers, Adelsons, Murdocks, and Don Sixpack Plumber just can't compete with the Deep State. Pretty sure Feinstein, Ford, and the Clintons have been planning this since 2012. All to ruin poor Don and Brett K. They hate Christians and want to abort all babies (except for the muslim and gay ones).
