Sounds exactly like something President Trump would do!

"As Sen. Charles E. Schumer pondered the judicial nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, the New York Democrat could barely contain his anger. He viewed the choice as “among the most political in history” and could not think of another nominee “more designed to divide us.”
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."
Eat it Chucky, just eat it. If it gets cold, reheat it..
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it!

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.
Rather than hope RBG retires, or dies, I would rather see Justice Thomas retire, while the Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, to guarantee another Justice that believes in the original meaning of the Constitution can be appointed. That would put three Justices (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and a player to be named later) who believe in the original meaning doctrine would be around for decades. I am a big fan of Thomas, but he's just entered his 70s, and getting someone in their late 40s or early 50s now would be a good move.quote:Originally posted by entropy:
Times are a chaingin’ aint they... It almost seems that Trumps caricature of Ford the other night actually helped the cause, despite the MSM’s immediate pounce on it. Pick up a few more seats in November, then wait for Ruth Buzzy to move along. Then find another Constitutionalist to appoint.
