Mitch McConnell has made it clear: Dr Christine Blasey Ford did not matter. This is about shaping the judiciary for years to come

He would be a rubber stamp for Trump. He would be partisan and not follow rule of law. He showed his true colors during the hearings.

Because Trump wants it and they need RealDonad_Trump POTUS's absence of intelligence in office to get what they want.

Koippari61 R's couldn't let Obama have M. Garland confirmed because of an election year. McConnell and other old timers shouldn't be shaping the judiciary for years to come, because the future belongs to the young ones.

Its what Trump wants

Kavanaugh has the temperament of drunk going after imaginary spooks on the Left of his extremist now admitted conservative "political" Right views. One would almost think he had to have a couple of drinks become the hearing to ending up obnoxious and belligerent !

Why are you doing this to a man whose character has always been above board. That is Godly and impeccable. This is bullshit!

They are not ramming his nomination if they were it would have been voted on today...

Because they can.

Because they hate women, the poor, the vulnerable and the intelligent. They love Trump.

He can be easily blackmailed. Sound familiar? Of all the qualified conservative circuit judges... this is really the “best” nomination?

Because he deserves the seat. Why are Democrats trying everything to prevent him?

Go away. Stick to football. You are pretty good at that and actually know something about it.

Oh it’s Republicans using win-at-all-cost tactics here? I would have thought that description better fits the party holding on to unsubstantiated accusations until the 11th hour in an attempt to discredit a man and sink his nomination.

Dems hijacking Ford, manipulating her and forcing her through this hideous and very public ordeal not for justice but for political gain. Sick

A very scary analysis of what’s going on in American politics. There is no judicial independence. V scary. One of the pillars of democracy gone.

They’re not. The reason there is so much media coverage is because the democrats are pulling out all the stops to keep Kavanaugh from being confirmed. Even to the point of believing a grossly unsubstantiated story. Dishonest intentions are making the Repubs very angry. Finally.

A bit macavillian - he’s been foisted on them, so give him his head and he’ll get carried away with self-importance and screw up.

Overturning Roe v Wade and to protect Trump from indictment and prosecution for his crimes.

But they once again act like, the Democrats getting power and presidency won't pack the court, and do it by changing that stupid law. The turtle isn't that great of a thinker, so he doesn't get once he's gone. The repcons will reap what he sowed.

Three weeks (and counting) isn’t ‘ramming’. It’s disgusting. But not ramming.

to complete the coup

Ramming? I smell fake Meter!!!

What a stupid question.

Since Donald Trump is elected as the president of the United States there are two Americas, getting angrier by the minute, and they are not listening to each other.

There are no boundaries. No treachery is "off-limits" any longer. Anything goes. Presumption of innocence? Gone. Due process? Gone. Burden of proof? Shifted. Rules of evidence? Non-existent. Any pretense of integrity, honesty, or compassion? Zeroed out.

And this is why this all started. A super rich insider clinging to power

Any fair minded person should see a man who has had at least 6 FBI background checks over decades-a man with not a whiff of bad behavior over that same time period. He is being destroyed by the opposition. They are so afraid they will lose in November, they will ruin his life

Because he will destroy it. They want all govt institutions destroyed so they can create a one-party fascist state

Because they hate liberals and democrats. The more you threaten to take him off because of allegations, the more they’ll fight to get him on the SC.

Not biased at all.

Is that rhetorical? The GOP is the religious right & they’ve voted in lockstep for decades & w/ this SCJ the’re in power for another 70yrs

Is it because they are deplorable?

Apparently you've missed the RESIST movement & hadn't noticed the last 5 false sex abuse claims to block his confirmation - they were already against Kav. before he was even named JusticeClarenceThomas

Can we PLEASE stop w the rape innuendo titles? We get it, McConnell said plow through. Not every frigging article needs to be echoing his callous choice of words.

Hey liberals. You tried. You failed! ha ha ha

why this one? he can't be the only fascist in the queue

When you delegitimize our institutions, more and more people stop feeling constrained by them. "Consent of the governed..."

Judge Kavanaugh believes in the Constitution and that it is the foundation of our great nation. Democrats want to tear down the Constitution, thus destroying country. Chaos follows. Which is what Democrats want.

Because Republicans lack morals and integrity. They claim to be moral in order to appeal to a self righteous portion of our society that promotes a sham morality based on cherry picking parts of the Bible and totally ignoring others.

Attempting to ram. ATTEMPTING to ram.

Because they want his religion represented on the court. You do know that this is all about RELIGION (all the rest is a smoke screen), but politically neither party dares to admit it (you British don't understand our preoccupation with Religion).

Because we are a republic, this is how we do things. And in a few months Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg will retire and our beloved President will choose another anti abortion justice. Doesn't that sound great?🇺🇸

Sketchy and questionable evidence....

This is an era that there is no right or wrong, but only left or right.

"[GOP] logic: the end justifies the means." GOPWarOnDemocracy

Choice of words is questionable

This has been great TV and at least they call her a woman and him a man unlike uk this gender rubbish

Because he will serve his country with grace and dignity.

SmithInAmerica ...but they aren't.

US Biennial political circus of outrage & misinformation: The September 2016 Zika microcephalia epidemic No epidemic The September 2018 Kavanaugh SCOTUS scandal No scandal September 2020 ?

Because he should be, you sloths.

This...

It’s the 40 odd Federalist agenda...... to start a civil war.

Because they're good at ramming things where they're not wanted.

Cocaine Mitch doesn't care if there are pedophiles, rapists, sex gang bangers, perverted vile men on the SCOTUS. Just as long as the Koch's and Mercer's get their way on clearning the way to overthrow the United States Government.

Why shouldn't an innocent and qualified person be in the supreme Court? Surely the question should be: why Do Dems oppose am innocent person be on the supreme Court?

That’s why. righttochoose

So 45 will go unpunished

Opinion: By completely ignoring healthcare as a midterm issue, Republicans risk losing crucial votesDespite knowing the harm his Obamacare repeal bill could unleash on those who voted for him and his past insistence that he would never cut Medicaid, Trump attempted to push through the legislation as soon as he took office Crap. TheDemocrats and their RINO co-conspirators were complicit in seeing nothing was done ObamaCare; except use it as an issue to ring around realDonaldTrump 's neck. Your reporting is a bit confused/inaccurate. The SenateGOP, HouseGOP and POTUS aren’t ignoring healthcare. They’re actively lying about it in campaigns ads, debates, and rallies. maddow CapehartJ JRubinBlogger In my country, there is a saying - Oh well..
