Alas Poor Larry, he once had SCOTUS dreams.

Let the river of liberal tears flow.

At this point in time invoking the “founding fathers” does not add any credibility to the wapo agenda.

I think we’ll find down the road that Kavanaugh is Kennedy.......

[reasonisfaith]

So he wrote this because he thinks it will fool Senators into voting against Kavanaugh?

I think we’ll find down the road that Kavanaugh is Kennedy.......

I hope not.....

[proud American in Canada]

What impeachable offenses? Can they even be committed before a person is elected?

This is ridiculous. He was duly elected, now time to “move on”

[reasonisfaith]

How can you tell?

[Zeppo]

The last refuge of a scoundrel such as Laurence H. Tribe is putting false words into the mouths of the founding fathers...

[bagster]

had barely won the presidential election.

Lie #1

(Hillary took a sizable ass-whoopin'.)

committed impeachable offenses during his campaign

Lie #2

(high crimes and misdemeanors were not committed while seated President. Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice and perjury while in office. )

as impeachment clouds were gathering

Lie #3

(impeachment "clouds" are only in the fever dreams of the derp state media. Even in those dreams, no crimes are alleged or were committed BEFORE Trump was elected).

Three blatant lies before the click. Go to link to discover many more lies the Washington Post can pack into one article.

I bet it's a lot.

It's funny when the Derp State leftards pretend to respect the founding fathers.

“At this point in time invoking the “founding fathers” does not add any credibility to the wapo agenda.”

Actually the founders, unlike today’s Democrats, would believe in the rule of law. President Trump took office after receiving the requisite number of electoral votes (i.e. according to the Constitution which is the law of the land). There is no evidence any popular or electoral vote was changed by any alleged “illegal” action by Trump. Therefore he is the legitimate president according to the law of the land and his nomination of Kavanaugh is valid.

The founders would perceive the nomination as valid and would carefully review Judge Kavanaugh’s qualifications for office. If the judge demonstrated a respect for the law, as written, his public and private life indicated he was a person of high integrity (the word they used was virtuous), and there was no indication his opinions were swayed by outside influences, they would confirm him. Most of the founders abhorred sharply partisan ideological politics as practiced today.

Professor Tribe is an advocate of the “living Constitution”, not the written Constitution. He favors the Supreme Court “interpreting” whatever a majority of the Court wishes as the law of the land instead of using the Amendment process to change the document. In essence Tribe is an advocate of the judicial tyranny of today’s federal courts where individual district judges nullify acts of the president or Congress based on opinion, not the letter of the Constitution or letter of laws enacted by Congress.

There is a reason Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did not nominate Professor Tribe to the Supreme Court. His nomination would not have been approved by the Senate.

[mindburglar]

Yeah. I agree. This guy is no Alito or Thomas. If Kavanaugh turns out to be a strict constuctionist then look for Roberts to be the new Kennedy. We need one more.

This guy Kavanaugh drips of deep state. Siding with the NSA against Americans, working for Bush. No bid.

[backwoods-engineer]

They seek to stop Kavenaugh by any means necessary. Which means we need him on SCOTUS.

[wastoute]

I am actually quite surprised. Considering the lifestyle Trump bragged about living for decades I am quite astonished to discover the Rats have only been able to ferret out TWO women that make these allegations. TWO? That’s it? Trump isn’t even coming close to BJ numbers. TWO? Trump must have been living like a monk for the last two decades if they can only find two bimbos in the last 20 years. He isn’t even close to racking up BJ type numbers.

[Peeps47]

Hey Larry, our founding fathers would have rose up and waged war against the democrats. Who does this clown think he's kidding?

[Skywise]

The founding fathers would’ve taken up arms against the Democrats at this point.
