Judge Brett Kavanaugh was set to be confirmed as a US supreme court justice on Saturday, handing Donald Trump a major victory after weeks of shocking allegations, rage-fuelled hearings and rancorous protests that have further divided America.
The final vote in the Republican-controlled Senate, which was poised to fall almost entirely along party lines in the late afternoon or evening, would confirm Kavanaugh to the lifelong position – and tilt America’s highest court in a conservative direction for decades.
The almost-certain victory will cap a triumphant week for the president. He strong-armed a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, which the markets loved, marked the lowest unemployment rate in the US since 1969, at just 3.7%, and was on the brink of securing the second ultra-conservative supreme court nomination of his administration, after putting Neil Gorsuch on the bench last year.
But to many Kavanaugh will be forever tainted by accusations from Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychiatrist, that he sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers at a high school party, and by doubts over his honesty during intensely emotional and partisan testimony at a Senate judiciary committee hearing, which brought his youthful drinking habits into question....

Do women think cussing like sailors makes them attractive?
A year or so before the time of America's Revolution, Edmund Burke, in 1775, in his Speech on Conciliation to the Parliament, observed that "spirit" among the then-colonists:
"In other countries, the people, more simple, and of a less mercurial cast, judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze." - Edmund Burke, Speech on Conciliation
Is it just possible--even, if almost improbable, that American citizens, once again, have recovered their ability to "judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle" and have "snuff(ed) the approach of tyranny" in the Progressive/Liberal overplay of their hand regarding a potential Supreme Court Justice who, they believe, will adhere to the Constitution's limitation on power lodged in Progressives in government?
I am drinking right now! LOL.
The tone of these articles is all wrong. They want to make nice, not fight, not call a spade an efin footsoldier of satan, and not cause dims in congress handmaidens of the neo Bolsheviks and traitors to their oath to uphold the constitution. And the last thing they want to do is cry for criminal indictments against these people.
They aren't swearing like sailors, who have a certain charm. They are spewing forth venom like souls possessed by the devil.
not if she is prosecuted for perjury by Sessions successor.
He’d have to be impeached and convicted first. I don’t believe a supreme court justice has ever gone through that.
This female despises cussing and evil talk.
No, not tired of....WINNING.
Overcome evil with good.
Has the vote happened yet? Don’t count your chickens....
“But to many Kavanaugh will be forever tainted by accusations from Christine Blasey Ford,”
But to the currently outraged liberal idiots will have been forgotten by Halloween
I was thinking along the lines of perjury charges against Ford.
She would be subject to discovery. Bring in on!
forever tainted by accusations from Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychiatrist
Camera was on Frankenstein sitting behind Chucky. She is on some kind of tranquilizer, or drunken stupor.
Having said that, I have British friends and work colleagues. I know there are enough Brits with the mettle to stand up when the rubber hits the road. The sad thing is they don’t realize the rubber has already hit the road in their country. I’m hoping it’s not too late.
The scratching we hear are the women who look like men in wigs who never were able to get any one to pay any attention to them. Revenge of the man beasts
The left keeps repeating this, but it simply isn't true. Trump's first pick, Gorsuch is less conservative than the justice he replaced, Scalia. Kavanaugh is only a little more conservative than Kennedy (though I hope this process has convinced him of the true evil of modern liberals). The overall impact on the balance of the court is minimal. If Trump is reelected, and gets to replace RBG and/or Breyer, then we will see a significant shift.
Typical of the biased horse chit one can expect from the Manchester Guardian.
