Keeping with the no personal appearance rule, first thing in my mind was "Instagram Influencer" I'm getting sick of that term. Like it's in league with Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs. Damn. Flash your dirty pillows on Robin Thicke's video, "influence" a few horny geeks. Now youre a voice in politics "And I think about my loves,well I've had a few. Well,I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too" I Was Wrong--Social D. | |||

Umm, I thought Senators were supposed to represent their constituents and not be slaves to their party “leader”. That mentality seems to be a big part of the problem. Dems have always liked their slaves haven’t they? What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? | |||

It's over for the left, Kavanaugh will be confirmed, and these past few weeks have been their broadside, their banzai, their best shot. And guess what? They don't have a Petersburg Square, a Kristallnacht, they don't have a knock out punch. They have some sleazy political hacks, some Antifa unicorns who break windows, loud mouthed "feminists" who make a fuss in the halls, but, when you get down to it-- they got nuthin'. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Chad Pergram By rule, the procedural vote would happen one hr after the Senate meets Procedural vote on Kavanaugh locked in at 10:30 am et Friday. Senate meets at 9:30 am et Friday. By rule, cloture "ripens" 1 hr after the Senate meets. If cloture is invoked (around 11 am et), 30 hr clock begins. Confirmation vote around 5 pm et Saturday GOP MT Sen Steve Daines will not be available on Saturday for Kavanaugh confirmation vote. Will be at his daughter's wedding. This means McConnell needs all 50 GOPers present to vote yes unless he gets help from Dem Manchin. Pence would not be able to break tie w/99 sens voting Under Nuclear Option II for cloture for SCOTUS nominees, a simple majority of senators voting is all that's required. In other words, 51 is NOT the magic number. They need 50 of 99 to successfully invoke cloture | |||

No, we're just taking it back from where the Left has hijacked it for the past 30 years. And, FWIW, our system IS a Democracy--it's just a "representative Democracy" instead of a "pure Democracy" (where all decisions are made by votes of the entire electorate). The only part of the original "Republic" that remains is the Senate, which has equal representation from every State (and it has been weakened by the 17th Amendment). (Well, I guess the Electoral College could be seen as a remnant of the Republic, but also somewhat weakened.) flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I cannot fault the Senator for going to his daughter's wedding. Can they delay the vote until Sunday for him to be there? | |||

I believe in the principle of Due Process |
WSJ Hon. Brett Kavanaugh I was deeply honored to stand at the White House July 9 with my wife, Ashley, and my daughters, Margaret and Liza, to accept President Trump’s nomination to succeed my former boss and mentor, Justice Anthony Kennedy, on the Supreme Court. My mom, Martha—one of the first women to serve as a Maryland prosecutor and trial judge, and my inspiration to become a lawyer—sat in the audience with my dad, Ed. That night, I told the American people who I am and what I believe. I talked about my 28-year career as a lawyer, almost all of which has been in public service. I talked about my 12 years as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the second most important court in the country, and my five years of service in the White House for President George W. Bush. I talked about my long record of advancing and promoting women, including as a judge—a majority of my 48 law clerks have been women—and as a longtime coach of girls’ basketball teams. As I explained that night, a good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no political party, litigant or policy. As Justice Kennedy has stated, judges do not make decisions to reach a preferred result. Judges make decisions because the law and the Constitution compel the result. Over the past 12 years, I have ruled sometimes for the prosecution and sometimes for criminal defendants, sometimes for workers and sometimes for businesses, sometimes for environmentalists and sometimes for coal miners. In each case, I have followed the law. I do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge. As Justice Kennedy showed us, a judge must be independent, not swayed by public pressure. Our independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. The Supreme Court is the last line of defense for the separation of powers, and for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. The Supreme Court must never be viewed as a partisan institution. The justices do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. They do not caucus in separate rooms. As I have said repeatedly, if confirmed to the court, I would be part of a team of nine, committed to deciding cases according to the Constitution and laws of the United States. I would always strive to be a team player. During the confirmation process, I met with 65 senators and explained my approach to the law. I participated in more than 30 hours of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I submitted written answers to nearly 1,300 additional questions. I was grateful for the opportunity. After all those meetings and after my initial hearing concluded, I was subjected to wrongful and sometimes vicious allegations. My time in high school and college, more than 30 years ago, has been ridiculously distorted. My wife and daughters have faced vile and violent threats. Against that backdrop, I testified before the Judiciary Committee last Thursday to defend my family, my good name and my lifetime of public service. My hearing testimony was forceful and passionate. That is because I forcefully and passionately denied the allegation against me. At times, my testimony—both in my opening statement and in response to questions—reflected my overwhelming frustration at being wrongly accused, without corroboration, of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character. My statement and answers also reflected my deep distress at the unfairness of how this allegation has been handled. I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters. Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career: hardworking, even-keeled, open-minded, independent and dedicated to the Constitution and the public good. As a judge, I have always treated colleagues and litigants with the utmost respect. I have been known for my courtesy on and off the bench. I have not changed. I will continue to be the same kind of judge I have been for the last 12 years. And I will continue to contribute to our country as a coach, volunteer, and teacher. Every day I will try to be the best husband, dad, and friend I can be. I will remain optimistic, on the sunrise side of the mountain. I will continue to see the day that is coming, not the day that is gone. I revere the Constitution. I believe that an independent and impartial judiciary is essential to our constitutional republic. If confirmed by the Senate to serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep an open mind in every case and always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American rule of law. Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Limbaugh was saying today that Trump's caricature of Ford the other night was entirely intentional and by genius design. Trump knew the msm would pick up on that part of the rally when he did that and put the video on loop on all the networks condemning him for attacking Ford. He also knew many of the viewers would be hearing for the first time that Ford did not remember any of these details because their favorite fake media station wasn't about to tell them. If that's how Trump actually played it and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out he did that is genius! "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

It seems to me that the Dems are trapped in a nightmare they made for themselves. To them, Judges are partisan super-legislators who stick it to opponents and use the bench to make up new laws. Now that they have pissed off Kavanaugh, they see a judge who will use the bench to exact revenge and make partisan decisions. Why? Because that is how they see judges - a wrongheaded hell of their own making. I see in Kavanaugh a person who puts aside such foolishness when he goes about the job of constituional interpretation. When the Dems started, it was payback for Garland. Then it was, "Gosh we're not gonna get someone to enact our agenda." Now that they have tried to destroy a man, they are afraid he will act just the way they think judges ought to do things. They deserve their fears and I hope they torture themselves until they choke. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||
