That applies to both sides. We couldn't have impeached Obama for his pro-terrorist actions before the election. They cannot impeach President Trump (or Justice Kavanaugh) for any indiscretions from prior to the election/confirmation, even if one of the thousands of completely arbitrary allegations happens to be true.
New York Times writers ought to be strangled with their own intestines.
If Kavanaugh withdraws, they win.
Not that I’d really blame him.
My grandfather was a well-connected Democrat back in the 60’s and 70’s. The party tried to get him to run for elective office. He would never agree because of precisely THIS....the grief that his wife and family would go through thanks to the mudslinging tactics of OTHER DEMOCRATS.
If Kavanaough is confirmed and the republicans do ok in the upcoming election, and the likely corruption of Hillary, and company is exposed, Democratic party as we know it today will be toast. They’re throwing hail marys all over the place and it’s easy to see why.
He looks like someone you couldn’t pass in the hall without wiping a bugger on.
This is something I had not thought of. Should the Democrats get control of both House and Senate look for wholesale conveyor belt impeachment of conservative judges, maybe batch impeachments, even, from the Supreme Court to District Courts.
Can you imagine how it must GALL him to be stuck teaching in ALABAMA? But NOW to be published in the NEW YORK SLIMES!!!!! He and his boyfriend must be ecstatic . . .
But, in the meantime, the Republicans hold power in the White House, the Senate, and the House and they can hold a vote on the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh at their time of choosing. Should the Democrats take control of the House, do they really intend to bring impeachment charges against Justice Kavanaugh on the grounds that his good behavior extends to his high school years and rests on a specious allegation that could never be argued in any Court in this country. The trial in the Senate could be conducted over lunch with the obvious result.
Which constitution are they reading? There is another clause. It reads:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
You are never going to get 2/3 of the Senate and you cannot move the Senate that fast to remove any significant number of judges - when was the last time the Senate actually convicted anyone?
If what I have seen so far of Kavanaugh is real, no way he drops out. Doing so is tantamount to an admission of guilt. Since it is impossible to prove a negative and there is no hint of evidence proving this allegation Kavanaugh’s dropping out would mean in the future the loony libs would do this exact same thing to literally every Conservative Judge ever nominated and they would get away with it.
Do you really think that I was suggesting otherwise?
I actually would support expanding SCOTUS to 11 Justices, by constitutional amendment:Note that if the number stayed at 9, a two-term POTUS would carry with him 4/9, only one less than a majority, of the court - and each justice would serve for a maximum of 18 years. Fixing the number of justices at 11 changes that to 4/11 of the court named by an individual POTUS - and sets the term of each such justice at 22 years.
- Every presidential candidate should name two potential SCOTUS justices on a date certain before his election.
- Upon election, the two potential justices named by the winning candidate are installed in SCOTUS. Thus, the justices of SCOTUS are elected by the people (via the Electoral College) and need no Senate confirmation.
- After said installation, the most senior justices on SCOTUS retire automatically to hold the number of justices on SCOTUS down to 11.
They are because this clymer Krotoszynski also argued in the article that the House should go beyond this high school crap and go after Kavanaugh for perjury concerning his role in the nomination of Charles Pickering to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. So what you have is the left telling us that they intend to use the House, if they regain it, as a weapon to settle old scores through the impeachment process and all they need is a charge, no matter how frivolous or late, to proceed.
1) Because it never happened.
2) Because there's no chance it would ever make it to court.
3) Because if it did, there's no way the state could ever get a conviction.
But in court of public opinion, with the support of Hollywood airheads, press whores, man-hating government witches, and complicit Republican lackeys, no evidence is necessary, and a fair judgment is a luxury.
It is their old playbook.
Any ruling by a Supreme Court with Justice Kavanaugh would be a ruling by an invalid justice.
Trump should not be president because of Russia, and by the way do away with the Electoral College.
Bush 43 was an invalid president. They were denied Al Gore
They need to be stomped. The turn-around under President Trump will ring in the history books for decades to come.
The relative ease of computers has made people think that if they can type, they can write; and if they can write, any of their ridiculous, execrable opinions are valid. This pompous piece of crap is a prime illustration of such opinion inflation.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat
