Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said the Democrats could keep Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court seat vacant for two years if need be should the nomination fail and should Democrats take the Senate in November.
Hirono said if a replacement for Kavanaugh needed to be found, President Trump should nominate a less conservative ideologue, or else be ready for Senate Democrats to keep the court seat vacant until after the 2020 presidential election if they win the chamber in November, according to an interview with Politico Magazine.
“I think we’ve had those kinds of vacancies before, and we certainly had over a one-year vacancy with Merrick Garland,” Hirono told Politico. “So the world does not come to an end because we don’t fill all of the nominees.”
Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court was roiled when California professor Christine Blasley Ford on Sunday publicly accused him of sexually assaulting her when the two were students at neighboring D.C.-area high schools in the 1980s. Kavanaugh has strongly denied the allegations.
The Hawaii senator said the new allegation had cast doubts about the nominee's testimony to the Senate two weeks ago.
During the hearing, Hirono asked Kavanaugh if he had ever sexually assaulted or harassed someone as a "legal adult." He responded that he had not.
“It somewhat stretches credulity, let’s put it that way,” Hirono told Politico.. “I think he didn’t want to lie about it, so one way you get through that is saying, ‘I don’t remember.’”
Hirono also called the allegations against Kavanaugh serious, even if was 17 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
“Seventeen is not exactly a baby, either," Hirono said. "These are serious allegations. She has a very credible story. I believe her. And now we have to do more than say, ‘Well, look at the timing!’ and ‘Well, it’s all politically motivated!’"
"This has to be taken seriously," she said.
Kavanaugh and his accuser are set to testify publicly on Monday.
hirono exposes Dim playbook - usual overreach
I’d see it in a more positive light. Dems always fighting. Compare that to the GOPe who are MIA on Kavanaugh and will only fight to keep their perks like Obamacare exemptions.
A bit late for that, doncha think?
Tokyo Rose speaks.
We should have used her name for the “COLB vs Real Birth Cert” and zer0 would have had her killed in a plane crash.
I’m so tired of the same B.S. over and over again from ratland.
The only person on the face of the Earth that could make Patty Murray look smart!
It doesn’t matter, leftists don’t care about laws, just feelings. They will make a law up if they have to. That is not the debate. The debate should be if there ever was such a party in the first place, or is it part of some rabid leftist’s imagination to tarnish a man who is nominated for the supreme court.
What I am trying to say is that, we should not even acknowledge a party took place at this mysterious house, owned by unknown people, where 8 people showed up who were complete strangers of each other and the girl was totally drunk as everyone else at this mysterious party. Sounds like bull sheet rock to me. If we acknowledge the party took place, we are basically calling Kavanaugh a liar. That is not the road we should go down.
That’s a complete load of BS.
Even in the craziest possible scenario, that won’t happen.
Assume that the Democrats win both the House and the Senate. In fact, lets go crazy and assume that the Democrats win every single Senate race.
That would leave them with a 58 - 42 majority in the Senate.
In order to remove an impeached President from office, you need to have 67 votes in the Senate. So even if the Democrats win every single race, they are still 9 votes short of being able to remove Trump.
It is silly fantasy to imagine that is ever going to happen.
Second it.
Justice Brett will make it.
It isn’t true. ANY Republican is better than EVERY Demon.
Illinois’ legislature would clearly appoint patriots as senators. NOT.
But I do agree with you but the fault lies with the voters.
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said the Democrats could keep Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court seat vacant for two years if need be should the nomination fail and should Democrats take the Senate in November.
And mathematically how is that suppose to happen?
We will gain seats and can then easily go nuclear on the next three SCOTUS
Buh bye Felicia
Oh, sure that will happen. Not a chance, there are no uniforms.
We don’t even know WHO the Deep State operatives are. The Secret Team is still secret.
I have heard RUMORS that the DemocRATS have offered to DROP the smear campaign against Justice Kavanaugh IF President Trump HALTS the declassification of the FISA documents. I say NO DEAL! The accuser is nothing but a tawdry, lying slut.
Cha-ching! (No, not the Senator from Hawaii).
Great post. Perfectly stated.
Schumer & DiFi & Pelosi are all literally fighting not just for their jerbs, but their legacy. Why? Because T R U M P will have run them out of their Swamp town. It's **c*ing glorious!
It needs to be looked into if Sen. Keiko ‘Mazie’ Hirono’s father was an Imperial Japanese Army soldier , killing American soldiers , in WW2 . As a so-called ‘veterinarian’, was he stationed in Manchuria ? Look up Unit 731.
Exactly what is Sen. Hirono hiding in her immigration into the United States narrative ?
In other words, all conservatives will receive similar unsubstantiated accusations. The political left disgusts me. They are evil, not just power hungry.
We now you know if you are a man you don’t dare go to Hawaii
