He was following process Kamala, but way to pander to your base with futility that this is an outrage.

And a little hypocritical. She didn’t vote for Gorsuch and wasn’t going to vote for BK for one reason -  Trump nominated them.

Notice I said politically. As for the Court, we move from swing vote as Kennedy to Roberts as the swing vote. Hoping Dems can take the Senate and can force someone reasonable to replace Thomas and if not, hold the seat open for 2 years.

Ginsburg better keep at her exercise routine for the time being.

No kidding.  Lest we recall passed out Ruth’s comments on Trump during the campaign.

Me of 2-3 years ago would wonder if the tradcons will finally see the scam once this solid conservative court declined to overturn Roe, but gives the middle class a smooth buttfucking on every economic and civil libertarian issue.

Now I know it isn’t really any issue that drives the simple people of th 38%. Their team made the other team cry. Won’t matter that their living standard goes down, or the cops can harass them without cause or recourse. 

This despicable stunt by the Democrats will be a boon for the GOP at the midterms. As Laura Ingraham said last night, conservatives haven’t been this united since possibly 9/11. The 10% advantage in the enthusiasm gap that the Dems had going into the mid terms has evaporated. I have never voted straight ticket Republican before because I think it’s lazy and uninformed. I’m making exception this November. The entire Democratic brand needs a serious rebuke from the silent majority. I hope we further consolidate power.

Let's look on the bright side fellas. Abortion being outlawed in Texas will be a boon to Nuevo Laredo. This could be the catalyst we needed to revive the Cadillac, El Dorado and Papagayos. I'll see y'all at the La Posada. 

When Republicans do way better in the midterms than anyone expected just two weeks ago, I hope President Trump and Cocaine Mitch send Dianne Feinstein a fruit basket.

You quoting Laura Ingraham as an authoritative voice on anything demonstrates why your opinion should never be taken seriously on anything.

Because Beto would have voted no on Gorsuch and BK.  He’s a far left Democrat who will rubber stamp every initiative of Cryin’ Chuck.

It's not an investigation, it never was, and there is no way it ever could be.  They do not have investigative power over what would be a state case.  All this is is another background check on Kavanaugh.

Negged for lying and obfuscation.

How does one carry out a background check? One investigates someone's background.

To investigate one's background, does the FBI need to base their efforts on legal jurisdiction? No they don't. 

You know these things but choose to lie about them.

You're dishonest and particularly inept at sophistry.

@Brisketexan, pour me a scotch, i'm coming out on the ledge.

Ledge seems to be getting crowded these days.  But there's still room, pull up a chair.

And yes, you get it, that's the point. The entire system, and all of our institutions, are being irrevocably broken.  A trustworthy representative democracy, with the buy-in of the people, is an incredibly fragile thing. It always is.  But it still amazes me how many people don't realize that until a bumbling autocrat wannabe like DOTUS and his spineless minions gleefully smash it on the floor, and dance on the pieces.

This is EXACTLY how a representative republic dies.  Every single thing this regime is doing is following the playbook.  It's a playbook that's existed for centuries, and it's being followed to the letter.

Congress is a non-functional entity to protect the people.

The executive branch is actively conspiring against the people.

And the SCOTUS will be a broken body with limited credibility and a newly installed toadie to do the bidding of the admin and its minions, protecting them from all legal consequences.

 

There are only two ways for power to be exercised in any human society: the rule of law, or the rule of the fist/gun.  When the rule of law is neutered so as to become ineffective, society naturally transitions to other means of asserting its interests -- all factions, those in power, those out of power.  Our society is only as stable as people's belief in its functionality.  That's being killed.  By a large segment of our society.  With glee.

 

More scotch is needed.

They interviewed Judge, Keyser and 8 others.  Ford’s allegations aren’t corroborated by her own witnesses.  One who is her friend.

I think it's more likely SCOTUS goes with the death by a thousand cuts route than overturning Roe, which would lead to some serious blowback.  Instead, they'll just simply never come across a state restriction on abortion that they find problematic, no matter how absurd.

But what changed? Did you ever think Beto would break with his party? And honestly, he'd probably be reasonably likely to support a qualified conservative justice since he believes in bipartisanship and rearoring our institutions.

No.  He’s not a moderate.  I don’t want him elected for the same reason the lefties on here do — he will be a solid yes for every liberal policy Schumer has.

This is hyperbole but not entirely wrong.  Power accretion in the Executive and Judicial branches (at the expense of the Congress) predates Trump by many years.  I had hoped that the Republicans and Democrats unhappy with Trump would work together to defang the Executive branch and devolve power to the states.  But that’s not going to happen.

Do you want a Senator from Texas supporting (((Soros))) policies?  Cus that's what voting for Beto will get you.
