There was nothing unconstitutional about what happened. To quote Barack Obama “elections have consequences”.

McConnell, He’s majority leader. He can call some shots therefore. Hasn’t Nancy Pelosi been the majority in the House before and she would help shepherd legislation through the House.
Governors are the leader of their states BUT… they have to get their legislatures to pass bills. Their power is limited within a framework.

Yes, I think so. The Republicans blocked a Supreme Court nomination and now the Democrats are blocking the nomination of Kavanaugh by demanding that the FBI open a full investigation into the allegations of Ford before she will testify. All kinds of allegations are being brought forward about excessive underage drinking at a Catholic high school and their parties. And someone is not telling the truth. Why is that? That is because American politics is dirty.

I don’t think either is ok. I’m still allowed to like one result and dislike the other.

Why is it? One of the Democrat party’s masters and Sacred Cows, Planned Parenthood feels threatened. Their half a billion, 350 million whatever is the current budget, a year might not come through.
Big difference, if one talks about delaying and doing it legally and BTW, as shown above, some Democratic nominees, received plenty of support.
Yeah, something is dirty alright.
Brother of Woman Accusing Kavanaugh of Harassment Worked for Planned Parenthood “Dirty Tricks” Group
Politics, elections, primaries, yes, I agree, those are dirty on both sides. A lot of times, I think things are totally created out of whole cloth to discredit someone.
Harry Reid saying about Mitt Romney that someone told Reid that Romney hadn’t paid income taxes in 10 years on the Senate floor?

Kavanaugh has a good record as long as you do not include illegal underage drinking. Anyway, it looks like Ford or her lawyer say she will not testify until the FBI conducts a full investigation into her allegations. Of course, this is going to take months, so the Democrats are hoping to extend this beyond the november elections, and even further if necessary to defeat Kavanaugh.

Actually it never came before the Senate. McConnell shut it down. Send me the link where it was the Senate. No hearings - it was the guy who said his goal was to make Obama a one term president in the midst of a financial crisis. Republican or Democrat cannot understand how anybody can support this person

what exactly are you afraid of from him?

They voted him down. Republicans were literally too afraid to bring Garland’s nomination up for a vote.
Don’t get too worked up about it. It’s just as constitutional to impeach justices and pack the court as it is to be too cowardly to vote on a nomination. Let them have their fun with their (alleged) rapist reality show president and their (alleged) sexual predator justices and their 6 highest-ranking judiciary committee Republicans who voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (am I starting to notice a pattern here?) while they can.

Seems no one understand anything… Republicans in the US Senate hold all the cards & they can vote right now.
They don’t get my vote

If you have a link that shows wher the majority leader acted outside the rules of the senate, or contrary to the wishes of the majority, I would like to see it. Otherwise, the Senate chose not to hold hearings.
Not nearly as afraid as the Democrats are of Kavanaugh. They fear him so much that they’ve determined to destroy him,just like they tried to destroy Thomas

On another similar topic, now closed, a poster mentioned that this same letter was used during the Gorsuch nomination, but not disclosed. I would like to know more about that. Does anyone have any more info on this?
Yes, progressives believe so strongly they should hold power they are willing to happily blow up the constitutional system in order to have it.
They tried to pack the Court once before, so trying again wouldn’t surprise, just like smearing the reputation of a good man isn’t new for them. Of course, with Thomas, what they really hated was he dared to be conservative while black.
So, stop being vague. Are you saying here that Republicans are okay with violence against women? That’s a yes or no question.
I’m willing to talk about the bigotry of progressive identity politics if you wish.
Not me. This kind of nonsense needs to stop. Senator Brown in Ohio is facing accusations of domestic violence, with far greater evidence than the Kavanaugh case where there is no evidence. Now, I agree with Brown on virtually nothing. I find his politics detestable, but I’m very uncomfortable with the way the accusations are being used.

That seemed to be a rumor out there but as we speak, it is looking like Christine Blasey Ford will not even testify as of now. I think this is why some Republican Senators said let her speak because their seems to be some question as to the merits of her case. It looks like it is falling apart, hence, ask the FBI to investigate something, waste more time, it may not even be the FBI’s jurisdiction, a teen get together?

Really? under age drinking means you don’t have a good record? We have had a president who admitted to using cocaine in his youth and it really seemed to be no issue but under age drinking is a problem???

Yes, the pattern is very noticeable (Bork, Thomas, Kavanaugh…)

It would involve the FBI because it concerns the nomination of a federal judge. Not in sense that the FBI is coming in to break up a party when some high school kids parents are out of town.
