why would he have a list ready to go from women dating back to HS if he had never heard of the accusations before?

him being bffs with a sexual predator judge doesn't make it look too great either


dont need to be 4d chess grandmaster to predict which way democrats will go in 2018

Looks like his confirmation will probably be delayed. I'm glad to get another conservative on the court... but this is hilarious.

What is funny about it? GOP nominated a candidate who is sketch at best and we no longer have the filbuster. Compromise is dead.

To answer your question: The 60 vote threshold SCOTUS Justices used to have to meet to be confirmed.

The GOP has held the Senate for what, 25-33% of the past 80 years? Nuking the filibuster will hurt them in the long-run.

Oh. Then you're saying that because the GOP has held the Senate for 30% of the last 80 years, that the Dems are now allowed to break any law, do any dirty deed, because life's not fair?

You repeat yourself.

The Kavanaugh issue came to be because IF the Dems can control the senate they can change things back to needing 60 votes to setting a supreme court justice.
So...they cheat, and try to delay Kavanaugh appointment till after the Nov elections in the HOPE that they can undo the simple majority for appointing a SC judge that is all that's necessary now.

I really have nothing against democrats, when they play by the rules. If the republicans were breaking the rules like the Dems are, I'd be upset with them too.

Right now, the democratic politicians, disgust me. Hell, even organized crime follows it's own rules.

You have been asked to say literally anything good about Democrats and refused.

You have everything against Democrats all the time.
