The Democrats have released their attack plan for Kavanaugh. They will make the hearings about Trump's impeachment and argue that Kavanaugh should use the same standards in the Starr Report to impeach Trump.

But Judge Kavanaugh’s role in the investigation of Mr. Clinton’s affair with a White House intern, which resulted in his impeachment in 1998

Uh, no. It was Slick lying under oath that led to his impeachment, you MSN liars.

Kavanaugh strikes me as a Deep Stater.

I think Kethridge from Michigan is a better choice.

The Ginsberg seat is going to expected to be filled by a woman.

Arguably it’s easier to avoid this trap by nominating someone else.

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, the front-runner to replace Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on the Supreme Court, once argued that President Bill Clinton could be impeached for lying to his staff and misleading the public, a broad definition of obstruction of justice that would be damaging if applied to President Trump in the Russia investigation.

Over and over and over and over and over and over...

If the NYT wants to compare levels of crimes Bill to Trump, or even Hillary to Trump, I think Trump will come off favorably.

By now the Russian collusion case has been revealed to be a complete fabrication, and the investigation based on falsified subpoenas.

So yes NYTs, let's talk about this. It needs to get out in the open.

Those of us who support Trump are sick of your baseless smears.

The same could’ve been done with _bama. Hell, 99% of communists could’ve been removed.

Kavanaugh is the one possible nominee who is on record for opposing an assault weapons ban. He is the only one of the bunch known to be most supportive of our Second Amendment. Now, you know the reason for all of the conspiracy theories and slander coming from the lurking left.

Empirical SCOTUS blog sees Brett Kavanaugh as likely SCOTUS nominee

Kavanaugh would be attractive to conservatives because of positions he took on two hot-button issues: gun rights and abortion. Kavanaugh dissented when the appeals court rejected a challenge to a Washington, D.C., ban on assault weapons enacted after the Supreme Court found an individual right to own guns under the Second Amendment. Kavanaugh also dissented when the full D.C. Circuit required the U.S. government to allow an abortion for a 17-year-old immigrant who was being held in a shelter because she is in the country illegally.

I don’t trust Kavanaugh any further than I can throw him. He is a hardcore Bush family acolyte, and has lived far too long amongst the swamp creatures in Wash. D.C.

Brett Kavanaugh 4 #SCOTUS unless something shifts significantly in the next 24 hours. I cannot get excited about someone who recommended Roberts to Bush, wrote an opinion upholding Obamacare, and has hired throngs of liberal law clerks and fed them to liberal justices.

BANG!

To comment #8 for critical Second Amendment info on Kavanaugh.

Hey, 1_Inch_Group! I found out that PROCON still has an RKBA (right to bear arms) ping list! Ask him to add you to it.

Hey, PROCON, please add me to the list, too!

Why do you think that dissenting from a vote is better than a vote against (no/yes) the majority that are on the wrong side of the issue?

Trump’s top 3 picks, in order of my preference: Barrett, Kethledge, Kavanaugh. I still say the best and most obvious pick is Mike Lee.

Notice, the Democrats have mostly left Bret Kavanaugh alone but trash other potential nominees, while the beltway Republicans & their media surrogates are in a frenzy for Kavanaugh & trash those who dare to inquire about his originalist credentials.

Kavanaugh headed the investigation into the Vince Foster murder. Found it was suicide.

Kavanaugh is a bad bet in multiple respects.

"Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in the running to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, appears to share President Trump’s views on immigration and protecting the American worker."

A dissent is a vote against the majority. Judges write dissents. They don't write noes.
