Mitch McConnell: Brett Kavanaugh will be on the Supreme Court by October start date
The Washington Times ^ | September 7, 2018 | Gabriella Munoz

Posted on 09/07/2018 7:49:55 AM PDT by jazusamo

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he expects Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh will be on the bench by the court’s first day in October.

Mr. McConnell sang Judge Kavanaugh’s praises during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, and said he expects him to be confirmed before September ends.

“I think any doubts anybody might have had have been dispelled by his virtuoso performance before the Judiciary Committee,” he said. “I mean, it’s stunning. He’s just a stellar nomination in every respect.”

Mr. McConnell did weigh in on the dramatic show made by Sen. Cory Booker, New Jersey Democrat, during the hearing on Thursday.

If Bork had just shaved off that goatee, he would have been confirmed

Plus the 15 other judges confirmed, from last week and this week. I believe it was a back room trade so he (Schumer) could let the RATS have their sh*tshow this week during confirmation, as way to keep the focus off himself.

I heard Elaine Chao speak at CPAC years ago and she gave a stemwinding pure conservative speech that had the audience roaring in agreement.

Your antichinese racism is unjustified

Plausible. Nice theory.

This is an area where McConnell has done great, and I give him credit.

The Dems do seem to have exhausted every last bit of Mitch’s patience on judicial nominations.

I don’t often give him credit but he sure knows his way around Court Justices.

Yeah, I guess he's OK. Probably I shouldn't call him turtle.

Their behavior on this nomination has been so extreme- what more can they do?

They could jump up screaming and shouting incoherently, strip naked, and commit nuisance on the floor.

For example.

“He said the Ethics Committee will ultimately decide if Mr. Booker should be reprimanded.”

If Booker was a man, or a Republican, I would say he should be punished for his wrongdoing.

But because Booker is who he is, and what he is, it would probably be unfair - and send the wrong message - to hold him to the highest standards.

Your vote counts! Don’t believe the main stream media, don’t believe their contrived poles!

The main fear the left has is that Trump will receive a mandate in the midterms with continued control of both houses and SCOTUS!

If you are better off than you were 2 years ago, and want to be even more better off in 2 years, go out and vote for a mandate to make the tax cuts permanent!

If you feel safer than you did 2 years ago, want the wall built, want open boarders ended, go out and vote for a mandate to build that wall and enforce the law!

If you want lower health care costs via competition and a complete end to Obama Care, go out and vote for a mandate to end Obama Care and get the government out of healt care!

If you believe in the 2nd Amendment and want to continue your right to bear arms, go out and vote for a mandate for unrestricted open carry!

If you believe in the right of the unborn to live, go out and vote for a mandate to impeach RBG! (For all of the talk about removing Trump, the same and more could be said about RBG!) Also, the 25 amendment for balance of power should have included provisions for removing SCOTUS!

You make a valid point, like Ann Coulter said:

Ann Coulter: Booker and Harris 'competing for Most Hysterical Woman' at Kavanaugh hearing :^)

There is still time for them to pay one of the girls he has coached to accuse him of something untoward . . .

If he gets things done to quickly the GOP will loose the "democrats are obstructionist". Meme. Unfortunately for the Rats they are playing right into our hands. They should be the ones speeding up the confirmations so the tag doesn't fit. 🤓 MM Passes just enough to keep (usually when the Rats don't have a "full house" on the floor!

McConnell does not want a wall.

His real constituency, the GOP donor class, prefers an uninterrupted flow of cheap labor.

Crime, chaos and a disintegrating culture (and an eventual Democrat lock on the electoral college) are all prices they are willing to pay for this labor flow.

The only that will bring about a wall is Trump shutting down the government until we get one. Unfortunately, he has repeatedly chosen not to do so.
