The Kavanaugh hearings are a mockery of a show trial. This type of hearing serves no legitimate purpose and makes future qualified candidates LESS likely to accept nominations. It is counterproductive in a big way. As Rush stated today, hearings are not required, and historically, affidavits were sufficient instead of hearings. Trump may have to fill two to four more vacancies, and he will seek to avoid the current farce.
Who needs hearings when you have a kangaroo court...?
Hold a fargin vote...The repubs are supposedly in charge of the Senate. They let the dems do all of these dog and pony sh!tshows on their watch. They let them slander Kavanaugh because they didn’t hold the vote.
They don’t call it kabuki theater for nothing.
Imagine the public spectacle that will occur when the semi-comatose Ginsburg doesn’t wake up from one of her naps.
Actually if they cave on Kavanaugh the process will be broken beyond repair. Future Majority Leaders may have no option than to take all nominees directly to the floor.
Mind you Kavanaugh was THOROUGHLY vetted by the current process in a way that would no longer take place if this occurs.
Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature.
Keep in mind the current nonsense all began happening in the press AFTER the hearings were over.
The grandstanding during the actual legitimate hearings will still go on because it's party of our democratic process.
And everyone will know that the Dems are likely to pull more dirty tricks. It's now their trademark, and Trump is doing his best to make sure that label sticks.
On today's Scott Adams podcast he explained that Trump didn't bother to inject other big stories in the last week. And that's because Trump believes (Adams' guess) that the Kavanaugh shenanigans actually helps the GOP in the mid-terms.
Do you buy that argument?
“put Kanye West on the Supreme Court as a temporary recess appointment.”
Make it James Woods and we got a deal. :)
i see.
well, replacing RBG with a used dog food can...
would be a HUGE improvement for the court!
The process should start out with the statement that they will hold the hearing BUT nothing afterwards
There’s those that say that if the current course is kept, it’ll eventually turn to bloodshed.
Simple fools, those.
It has ALREADY turned to bloodshed. Non leftists bloodied in the streets by Antifa, Repubs hunted and shot at a baseball field, hunted and assaulted in own front yard...
Buttercups need to suck it up because...
It is war.
It will be war to the knife and knife to the hilt.
We’re not losing. Dem’s are.
We haven’t lost the Kavanaugh vote. It’s not been held.
We didn’t lose the Presidential election. We won, and we didn’t stoop to false allegations. All the allegations against Hillary were true.
There is as point where Dem’s wake up and realize that their party slings false allegations all the time.

The Demonut party has become nothing but a Sideshow filled with Freaks and Perverts
I looked at the Washington Post and NY Times websites today.
They each have a picture from Kavanaugh’s 1982 datebook.
He kept the datebook for 35 years.
The handwriting is neat.
Kavanaugh was highly organized and goal directed even back then in high school.
I’m sure he knew he was going to be a target for sex smears and could withstand them.
The Democrats will be far more careful in the future, so the sex smear tool can remain in their political toolbox.
Feinstein had fully justified doubts about using the sex smear tool.
“Trump believes (Adams’ guess) that the Kavanaugh shenanigans actually helps the GOP in the mid-terms. Do you buy that argument?”
It just might help because most people don’t really know that the repubikans have allowed all of this...
It definitely wasn’t a premeditated strategy to get out the vote. Funding-building the wall and hanging deepstate conspirators on the national mall would get the base out in droves.
They will be more politicized..and more unruly.
It would be glorious to see the snowflakes on full melt down.
It would be worse than a meltdown. They would most likely spark the next full civil war in their violent barbarism.
Nope. They’ll only get worse. The parties are both addicted to grandstanding for their base at this point. Especially when it’s near election time. Expect future nominees to require months of “vetting” and probably 2 or 3 rejections before they finally let one through. American politics is theater, badly written melodrama theater no less.
