Schumer was not talking about President Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh to be a Supreme Court justice. It was 2004, and Schumer helped lead the Democrats’ questioning of Kavanaugh to move from the George W. Bush White House to a federal circuit judgeship. Schumer and his Democratic colleagues cast him as an extreme conservative and were so effective that they blocked Kavanaugh’s nomination for three years.
Now, however, as Kavanaugh prepares for his Tuesday confirmation hearing, Democrats are still searching for a strategy that could stop his ascension to the highest court. Schumer said in an interview that his concerns from 2004 “are still the case” and have only grown as a result of Kavanaugh’s judicial rulings for 12 years.


“He has a very nice smile, but an inch below the surface, he is a hard-right warrior,” Schumer said in an interview.
Then, as now, Kavanaugh symbolizes to Democrats how partisanship has overwhelmed the process for judicial nominations. Trump’s selection of him to fill the seat vacated by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, for whom Kavanaugh once served as a clerk, underscores a long-standing Republican goal to infuse the federal courts with judges who will strictly interpret the Constitution and seal the high court’s conservative direction on issues such as abortion and regulations."

I find this most interesting - probably telling from a psychological perspective of dementia as well but does Schumer realize that what he just described was himself in a mirror?

he is one of the most partisan, hypocritical hacks ever to walk the face of the planet, and he has the balls to call Kavanaugh a right-wing warrior

what a delusional twunt

Now, the rampant cynicism that's seized upon us dictates someone will say that that's completely wrong, but I don't think so. I think they're gonna be shy about sticking their tit back in the wringer next time.

Should President Trump nominate a woman next time? Sure, if the most qualified candidate happens to be a woman. Otherwise, no.

Charge Ford with perjury. Under oath, she said that she hadn’t coached anyone about polygraph tests. Her ex B.F. said that she’d coached Monica McLean.
