Kavanaugh confirmation hearings set for Sept. 4

There have been many members that have brought up a DC Vote bill., which would allow for the district’s elected congressperson to receive voting privileges. If you’re truly a conservative you’d support a bill like this, which puts the power back in the hands of the people rather than taxation without representation. My guess is you don’t, just like McConnell, because the district votes blue. Like I said, it’s all a game to him.

They aren’t your party, but I’m willing to guess with some certainty that you consistently pull the lever for the GOP. For a guy who doesn’t support trump , you sure are an ardent defender.

In 2013, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was much closer to being correct when he said, “In the history of the United States, 168 presidential nominees have been filibustered, 82 blocked under President Obama, 86 blocked under all the other presidents.” His figure included non-judicial nominees.

@politifact

PolitiFact - Did Senate Republicans filibuster Obama court nominees more than...

Republicans changed Senate rules to break a Democratic filibuster and confirm Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, an

This is from Washington Compose no less.

even thou it’s opinion piece it’s accurate assessment.

Democrats have only themselves to blame for their judicial predicament

And you would be completely wrong.

I do not defend Trump. You are confused.

Oh but I’m not…that’s all that is needed to draw articles of impeachment

Plasmaball · 2018-08-12T00:16:39.383Z

Why not? After mitches stunt everything is game now…Reid was bad enough but that was still within bounds of government…with holding because mitch is an ■■■■■■■ and gambled is not.

The actual FALSE statement:

"Pubs were blocking every single executive and judicial nominees in the lower courts, just to muck with the system…:

Not members of the Supreme Court. That’s what we are talking about, not Congress.

Then why hasn’t Ginsberg been impeached? She is about as overtly partisan as any Justice in recent history.

No need to answer that. The reason is that being partisan is not on its own, sufficient grounds for impeachment of a judge.

Neither Reid nor McConnel are Supreme Court Justices. Their rules of ethics are very different.

That’s cool…and not even what inwas talking about…good for you samm

Plasmaball · 2018-08-12T05:52:53.170Z

She has? Hmm…dont know about that…but there is nothing stopping Congress from drawing up articles…

Write your congressman if you want.

Snow96 · 2018-08-12T12:59:29.332Z

No, you still have to meet the constitutional requirment of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Exactaly what high crimes and misdemeanors has Kavanaugh committed?

Constitution specifically says the house and senate can set their own rules.

See the difference there plasma?

I hope McConnell rots in hell.

I think we have a sore loser here.

I think you are right.

I stand corrected.

Thank you.

it is not what I want, but apparently it is what you want … selective to your particular political persuasion.

No Justice is going to be impeached based upon the bent of their politics unless they show favoritism to defendants based on their politics. Your wet dream is a fantasy.

You are right Plasma, that was not what you were talking about, but it was what everyone else was talking about.
