Hirono: Kavanaugh Will Always Have An Asterisk Over His Name (So they've given up?)

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said Tuesday that the upcoming hearing with a sexual assault accuser will determine "whether or not Judge Kavanaugh has the credibility and character to serve on the Supreme Court."

Hirono also warned that there will always be an "asterisk" by Kavanaugh's name in an interview Tuesday morning on CNN.

ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN HOST: Senator, are there plans to hear from Debbie Ramirez on Thursday?

SEN. MAZIE HIRONO (D-HI): I don't know, but what I really want to hear from this administration, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders is, there will be an FBI investigation. That is what we need. And I think most people who look at this process, and want some monochrome (ph) of fairness, would agree that we should have an FBI investigation.

But they continue to stonewall. And I think that they're doing a tremendous disservice to the public - American people, as well as, should he get on the court, there will always be an asterisk, and a cloud, over his name, and on his name. And I think that is not what we want to do to the Supreme Court....

[right way right]

I like that.
I hope you are a Prophet.

The demonrats are realizing (too late) that they have again awoken the sleeping republican party to get energized for the midterms.

I first heard that out of the potty mouth of Silvia Sydney, circa 1980. It was going to be Teddy’s campaign slogan.

For 45 years, Sylvia Sidney (1930-1998) applied lipstick, butterfly lashes, a cascading hairpiece, stepped into a flaming sequined gown and flounced into the spotlight. Born to Jewish immigrants during the Great Depression, at sixteen years Sidney Sushman declared himself Sylvia Sidney. “Her” story spans a 50 year history of gay life in post World War II Boston. Sylvia is a survivor, someone who has lived through the repression of the ‘50s, the euphoria of the ‘60s, the bacchanalia of the ‘70s, and the tragedies of the ‘80s and ‘90s. A self-proclaimed raconteur, Sylvia kept an active schedule performing in gay bars throughout New England.

Hawaii needs an asterisk next to it whenever someone refers to it as a state.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I remember when we didn't know which person Trump was going to choose next. There were some doubts by some that Kavanaugh might be squishy on a few issues.

I'm hoping this entire experience will squeeze any amount of squishiness he might have had and turn him into a Natural Law theorist like Thomas.

How wonderful if the replacement for Kennedy is right of Scalia!

Here's hoping Roberts doesn't decide he needs to move to the left for "balance".

Likely she is “intellectually challenged”. What a back-bench loser. Maybe she didn’t get enough Spam in her early development...or was hit on the head with a coconut falling out of a tree at 6 months old. Something is VERY wrong with her.

😀👍🏻👊🏻

I don’t know about Kavanaugh but my reaction would be along the lines of, “I take delight in your disapproval”

[Okeydoker]

Crazy Hirohito belongs in jail

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Hirano will always have an asterisk beside her name...like this

Senator Hirano*

*Fascist Bitch

[GnuThere]

I saw another headline that Willie Geist used that same line, so I guess that’s the day’s talking point pushed out by their masters.

[neverevergiveup]

Dear Senator Hirono,
It doesn't matter, as long as he is confirmed, and that this is followed up by the appointment of at least two more strict Constitutionalists to the SC.

[cuban leaf]

Meh. Thomas has an “asterisk” over his name in their book. Kavanaugh is an adult. He understands you can’t please all the people all the time.

[CarolinaPeach]

Hirono can just kiss our collective asterisks.

Peach

[Songcraft]

That too.

My first (admittedly crude & obnoxious) thought was that those parenthetical symbols represented two "cheeks", with the asterisk between them representing a descriptive term for Mazie that starts with "A" (in a figurative manner of speaking).

(     )*(     )

(Once again, I apologize for my inexcusably crude but sincere pictographic reference for Mazie.)

[gov_bean_ counter]

And there will always be as ass associated with hers.

[EnquiringMind]

I believe it was you, little lady, who famously said, “ I believe her because she is telling the truth”. LOL. That stupid statement is worthy of a lifelong asterisk next to yours.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Hopefully, she’s squeaky clean. I do believe all these RATs should be investigated as thoroughly as they expect Judge Kavanaugh to be investigated. I wonder how many Marxist RATs would pass their indepth investigations? The FBI can start a detailed investigation into DiFi, Schumer, Durbin, Waters and go on down the list.

[Signalman]

Mazie is a cipher.

When Brett Kavanaugh was nominated a large part of conservatives were leery of the pick.. thinking he was going to eventually mold into a centrist or a Kennedy clone. The Left came out and hammered the guy.. murdering his character and reputation. The way they’ve acted the last few weeks leaves little doubt in Brett Kavanaugh’s mind in who he should align himself with. Conservatives have rallied around Kavanaugh and fought back against the madness of the Left. He’s not going to want to give a shred of effort to ever help the causes of the Left. Instead of trying to sway him the Left went full on meltdown mode to try to destroy him. It’s all for nothing because Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed anyways.

Thanks for the rock sold 5-4 Supreme Court, stupid.

On TOP of that it woke up the conservative Supreme Court voting sleeping giant for the midterms. Conservatives are going to come out and vote now because they see the games the Left will play to block nominees from the Court.
