Democrats have such petty little souls... they’re never gracious... always mean spirited.

I hope Kavanaugh remains on the side if 2A. But I am also concerned about Klayman v. Obama and the NSA. He was for the deep state.

You’re a true statesman, Mitch.


Would that he were.

I was wrong about Trump.

I wouldn't sign up for Trump University either, but he has done a lot of good things since the election.

Yep. We want the leftists screaming, wearing their pink hats, harassing people and protesting. So many moderates are moving away from that kind of junk. I’ve tried to explain this process to a few very liberal relatives but they can’t grasp it. They live in such a strange bubble that they actually think that attacking people in restaurants gains them votes. fools

I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m sick of all the complaining too.

Could Kavanaugh become a turncoat? Sure. People get into the wrong DC crowd and parties and they change.

Mark Levin had a hand in choosing Souter, but it turned out to be a disaster.

I trust Trump, the Heritage Foundation and the others who like Kavanaugh over some whiny-ass FReepers.

“one source” = one rumor

and now that the one fact of the whole SCOTUS brouhaha has been published, namely that Brett Kavanaugh is the nominee, the entire fake stream media has reverted back to publishing rumors again.

this article is particularly ridiculous and nothing but clickbait ... McConnell has already stated that Kavanaugh is a superb pick, and regardless of who was nominated, the Dems would pitch a loud and vicious (but useless) bit of Kabuki theater, so it’s total nonsense that McConnell wants to avoid a SCOTUS battle ...

it really seems like FR has been overrun with hysterical fools and/or trolls lately ...

this whole article is bullshit based on “one source”, i.e., a rumor. it’s total clickbait.

McConnell has already announced that he thinks Kavanaugh is a superb pick, and no one in their right minds would expect that ANY Trump nominee wouldn’t provoke a bitter Senate fight by the Dems ...

and yet here we are with dozens of idiot FReepers carrying on like this article is a stone tablet carried down from the mountain ...

“Perhaps the REAL goal here is to maybe LOSE this fight, knowing that LOTS of conservatives will then come out in November...certainly worked 2 years ago.”

Trump doesn’t play to lose.

“One source”, “consistent conservative” = #neverTrump Hussein Head.

How is Mitch a true statesman, or was the /s omitted?

Looking forward to the Fun. Still the best election ever!

“The real fun - the real game changer - is going to be when Trump gets to replace one of the Gang of Four. Hopefully it’s several of them and soon.”

“there will be a conservative judge to replace Kavanaugh’s current seat on the Appeals Court.”

More winning for our side!

Democrats are really being disengenious when they say Kavanaugh wants to overturn Roe v Wade. He has said the opposite many times and has called it the law of the land and has said its established precedent. They just hate him cause they hate Trump. I don’t like his views on abortion and that’s why Barrett was my favorite. But it is what it is and Kavanaugh is 1000 times better than anybody HRC would have selected.

"....... Kavanaugh is an establishment judicial pick with a lengthy track record."

Yeh, if Kavanaugh can come forward to do the dirty work with Ken Starr for the Bushes and the Clintons, he's great.

Brett Kavanaugh

The Intimidation of Patrick Knowlton

“ As a last resort, Knowlton prepared a "Report of Witness Tampering" and took it personally to the Office of the Independent Counsel. "It was their responsibility, at the very least, to find out who leaked word of his subpoena," notes Evans-Pritchard. According to Evans-Pritchard, John Bates responded by calling security and having Knowlton removed from the building.

***** Perhaps the most telling indication of Starr's attitude toward Knowlton is the humiliating cross-examination to which this brave man was subjected before the grand jury. Knowlton says that he was "treated like a suspect." Prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh appeared to be trying to imply that Knowlton was a homosexual who was cruising Fort Marcy Park for sex. Regarding the suspicious Hispanic-looking man he had seen guarding the park entrance, Kavanaugh asked, Did he "pass you a note?" Did he "touch your genitals?"******

Knowlton flew into a rage at Kavanaugh's insinuations. Evans-Pritchard writes that several African American jurors burst into laughter at the spectacle, rocking "back and forth as if they were at a Baptist revival meeting. Kavanaugh was unable to reassert his authority. The grand jury was laughing at him. The proceedings were out of control."

It was at that point, reports Evans-Pritchard, that Patrick Knowlton was finally compelled to confront the obvious: "the Office of the Independent Counsel was itself corrupt." (pp. 106-107)”

I don’t buy this for a second. For crying out loud Mitch McConnell managed to keep Merrick garland off the court and thankfully gave us Gorsuch.

I don’t believe he’s afraid of anything.
