Official Brett Kavanaugh confirmation thread

The one thing that will motivate them is the undeniably sleazy tactics used against Kavanaugh. You can see it right here in this thread - few new comments about believing Ford, it's moved on to talk of perjury about drinking and the meaning of dirty words and phrases. That's what witch hunts are about - get your target under the spotlight using whatever pretext, and then jump on whatever they say. It was never about Ford.

The GOP has spent the past two years watching its people led into perjury traps, and will get a huge morale boost if their party stands up to this one, and take their anger to the polls to punish the Dems. If it capitulates, the opposite will happen, they'll view it as spineless and turn against it.

You said it yourself, "perjury trap."

You know who doesn't get caught in a perjury trap? People who don't lie under oath.

No one cares Kav drank. They care he lied under oath to the senate.

And there's few comments about beleiving Ford because there's not much to say. Her testimony has proved to be completely consistent with all available facts and not full of lies. So there it sits. Not much to say about it.

Trump should withdraw Kavanaugh and, in turn, nominate each democrat senator for SCOTUS and subject each to the same vile vetting as is ongoing

That would be risky. Believe it or not, but not all people drank so much in high school or college that they were stumbling drunk ever let alone frequently, and the vast majority of people never sexually assaulted anyone, never wrote "inside jokes" in their yearbook about boofing and real or fake sexual conquests or devil's triangle and then lied about those things under oath.

Democrats didn't cause a stink about Gorsuch, because there were no such accusations against him.

Kavanaugh was a drunk. I would be interested to know if he still is. Being a drunk isn't necessarily disqualifying, but lying about it under oath should be.

No risk at all. Nothing needs to be substantiated.

Kavanaugh is being characterized as a drunk. All that’s been established is that he likes beer.

The fact that Democrats hate him so much delights Trump even further. Nothing would make him happier than "triggering a bunch of libs" by getting Kavanaugh on the court.

That is the motivation. That is the kind of president we have.

CORRECT!

He was very careful not to lie under oath. Unlike Blasey who we are certain lied about at least some things (the fear of flying). He never once said he didn't drink a lot, in fact he said he drank a lot of beer. Please provide evidence where he lied.

So you believe:

Devil's Triangle refers to a drinking game

Beach Week Ralph Club refers to Brett's sensitivity to spicy food

He has great respect and admiration for Renate Shroeder.

OK. I guess you will also have no issues with your daughter playing a friendly game of Devil's Triangle with Mr. Kavanaugh.

And you can play a friendly game of Devil’s Triangle with your lovers Blumenthal and Feinstein. Ain’t that something you will never forget even if you are drunk and abused. Seered into your memory. Squeel like a pig.

Then you don't understand traditional conservatives, who are not Trump's base. They like Kavanaugh, but not Trump.

The timing of this will help the GOP in the upcoming midterms. The dem base was energized to begin with, and trumpians were going to show up and vote. I wasn’t so sure the GOP base was as fired up but they sure as heck will be now

Nothing like pissing off the women.

Fever dream.

That said, there is evidence that Kavanaugh’s public support declined this week, with recent polls showing his net approval rating anywhere between -3 and -6 points. Kavanaugh is a historically unpopular Supreme Court nominee, but if we go back to the beginning of July when polls first started asking about his confirmation, we can see that his net approval rating became increasingly negative in the days after the first allegations of sexual misconduct became public.

From the same article you cite - 2 out of 3 polls indicate improvement in support of Kavanaugh

GOP women may — or may not — be abandoning Kavanaugh

It depends on which poll you’re looking at

Wonder if these are some of the beach friends she is referring to?

Imagine almost making it to the supreme court and then having it all come undone because you're too embarrassed to admit you can't hold your liquor with the bros

Trolling Kav defenders is more fun than anything rn. Imagine thinking an esteemed lawyer needs a bunch of internet white knights to help him.

My comments to this thread have been sincere and serious.

Here’s another one:

TRUMP SHOULD WITHDRAW KAVANAUGH ‘S NOMINATION AND IMMEDIATELY NOMINATE TED CRUZ, AND THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND THE FULL SENATE SHOULD VOTE IMMEDIATELY TO CONFIRM.

BAM

No I want Kavanaugh on there, have Ted Cruz take Satomayer's seat to keep a Hispanic on the court. Ginsberg, Breyer and Satomoyer should retire, Ginberg falls asleep at meetings and is in her mid-late 80's, Breyer is 80 and Satomayer has diabetes.

After this debacle, who is his or her right mind would want to be nominated to the Supreme Court? No one is ever going to accept a nomination. Seats are going to remain unfilled until every one of the current justices die off

RBG has incredible problems and should already have left. Breyer is very close and should also step down soon. Sotomayor is a misandrist racist who should never have been on the bench in the first place. Thomas’ mind seems to have been inactive for some years and should also step down. Clerks and only a few justices doing all of the real work, and the court, and the country, have suffered.

RBG is the big one. Will she continue from a hospital bed?

Ted Cruz wants it.

Dems need to beware one of my life maxims: No matter how bad you think something is, it can always get worse.

Uhhh... wrong.

Just don't be a bad person with skeletons in the closet. Not that hard boy-os.
