I THINK THIS is good, no?

Anything without the name “McCain” is good, I guess.

Just read on twitter how the commie Dems in the Senate were planning this over the weekend, getting their paid protestors ready to go for today..I hope sane people see what the commie party is ALL about..the Commies are TERRIFIED that once Kavanaugh gets in, their commie utopia is FINISHED, they know they will NEVER get the Supreme Court again

So many replies thus far....So I didn’t read them all.

Did anyone ask those Democrats arguing for more documents if they had ever read any of the documents already accessible??

I still get mad at the Obamacare B.S. “We’ll have to read the bill before we can know what’s in it.” And none of them had read it before passing that law.

So I don’t think the Democrats have done much reading since, nor have their assistants or committees. They are so full of it!

I wonder if Kavanaugh just tunes all of this ridiculous stuff out and just thinks about something else. It's unwatchable. All that he needs to worry about is answering the questions. All this grandstanding is just stupid and shouldn't be allowed.

I disagree. It’s their standard operating procedure to have a mole (or two, or three). Can anyone say “Roberts”?

Now, when Ruth assumes room temperature they’re really going to freak out. I also think people on OUR side who are getting old - like Clarence Thomas, should retire and open up a spot for younger people who will carry on the fight for generations. DON’T give the RATS an opening if / when they re-take the Presidency.

The Supreme Court has more power than the other branches because their justices turned the process of judicial review into...

Nonsense. Power abhors a vacuum.

Congress is, by design, the most powerful of the three branches. They declare war. They coin money and regulate its value. They make uniform rules for citizenship. They enforce Articles XIII-XVII by appropriate legislation. They create and abolish Federal courts, except the Supreme Court, but they control absolutely what cases the Supreme Court can hear on appeal. They exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over DC. They issue letters of marque and reprisal. They suppress insurrections and repel invasions. They make the rules for elections to the House and Senate.

The Supreme Court (and the President) are powerful because Congress has chosen to be weak. And they've chosen to be weak for the worst of reasons - vanity and greed.

Getting elected, even to the House but especially to the Senate is like winning Powerball (except it's a lot easier). Even if the voters kick them out, they keep their salaries and benefits FOR LIFE. That's just if they are not corrupt. The fact that most of them become multimillionaires on $174 000/year while maintaining two residences is the result of gross and odious corruption.

But why then are they weak?

They are weak by choice, because once they ascend to this gold mountain, the very, very worst thing they can imagine is getting kicked out. The bribes, the broads, and the booze all stop and they have to go back home, only have sex with their wives, and maybe even work.

And how do they get kicked out? That's simple, and it's mostly our fault.

The only way, as a practical matter, to get kicked out by the voters is to make a small group of them mad - very mad, in fact. Most voters who vote for Congressmen and Senators have no idea who they are or what they are doing. To turn one of America's zombie voters against their representative or Senator takes a small group of people willing to work tirelessly to propagandize against them.

And how to avoid that horrible fate?

Simple. Don't do anything. Write vague laws that allow nothing and prohibit nothing. Make the Executive Branch create the actual laws through regulation, and make the Courts punish malefactors through expansive construction.

Then, when some farmer loses his land or some Moms are upset abut transgender story hour at the library, you can blame someone else and promise to "fight hard for them" if only you return them to the swamp.

Blah, blah, blah... Just get to asking questions, then vote. Personally, I don’t see why the committee can vote later today. Then, the Senate to discuss and vote tomorrow.

Actually, this is kinda cool. The more the deranged RATS show off their mental deficiencies, the more they encourage

#WALKAWAY

Maybe folks are finally waking up.

Yes, the Leftists are showing their true, ugly colors and normal, reasonable and decent people see it and don’t like what they’re seeing.

indeed, Karoo! but the fat and ugly men consider themselves “hawt” and we are lucky to be able to gaze upon them.

Yep. Spot on. And it is true that Justice Ginsberg is likely going to hold on like an old cat that just will not die, even if her mental faculties desert her, she will stay on the court even if they have to put her up there on a respirator.

Kind of the same ilk as John McCain. It isn’t about the good of the country, it is about the “good of the Left”...of which there isn’t any.

I don’t wish ill on Ginsberg in the same fashion I didn’t wish ill on McCain...I just wanted him to leave office behind.

Biggest conclusion this morning is that Grassley needs to retire as chair, maybe from Senate as well. Can’t control his own committee room, sounds and looks old and infirmed, confused and mixes up names. Embarrassing.
