Bork tried to stay calm and classy and he failed. Kavanaugh needed to show emotion, and to be unafraid to tell the truth. 

 

 

Agreed....emotion from women politicians and feminists (like Justin Trudeau) is suppose to be a good thing.....except for Brett Kavanaugh when under attack ?

[bush_cheney2004]

Looks like the full Senate vote is only one hour away....NCAA football and a close vote all in the same day...what a country !

Canadian media will cover the vote in the USA....LIVE !

The Dems lost all their credibility when they chose Hillary as their presidential candidate.  The same Hillary Clinton who stood in lock-step with her serial philandering husband when he was embroiled in the Lewinsky affair.

As opposed to the 'credibility' of the party of God, the party of the moral majority, the party of Christian morality when they chose a foul mouthed serial adulterer, gambler and liar who liked to brag about how he groped girls and seduced other mens wives?

The Senate vote is going down now....the triggered "feminists" in the gallery seem quite emotional...lots of CRYING, shouting and screaming....much more than Brett Kavanaugh.

"Neither his career nor his family seems to have been ruined at all.". Unbelievable - can't think of a response for that one.

His 'career' is as a federal judge. Please inform me of how it's been ruined? His wife was behind him in the hearing and I haven't heard a word of doubt expresed by her about the wonderfulness of her husband. Please tell me how either his career or family are ruined.

Gorsuch was not the swing judge

No, he was a stolen appointment, which is worse. Garland was supposed to be on the supreme court, nominated by Obama. The Republicans refused to even offer him a hearing, and the spot remained vacant for a year. If I was a Democrat I'd be furious and have done my level best to destroy Gorusch and anyone else the Republicans tried to appoint.

Quote

 Do not forget that the Democrats said they would do anything and everything to prevent Kavanuagh's confirmation.

You mean like the letter all Republican members of the committee signed promising they would not give Garland a hearing?

Quote

Kavanaugh was not evasive about his drinking -

 he said he drank beer and there were times that he had too many.

A lot of American lawyers seem to feel otherwise, including some who had previously applauded his nomination. Judges have said they'd have thrown him out of their court room if he acted like that under cross-examination. Do you imagine cross-examinations are polite and mannerly and never impute a person's reputation? Kavanaugh's meltdown demonstrated a man lacking in self-control. Again, not something you want in a judge.

And frankly, the indignation of the republicans is pathetic and laughable. This is the party which stalled or filibustered every one of Obama's judicial nominees who they perceived as being at all liberal. Garland wasn't even a liberal but a moderate centrist. And some prominent Republicans vowed, before the election, when they were sure Clinton was going to become President, to not process a single one of her nominations for any judicial position for the entirety of her term in office.

But not for the presumption of judicial independence from political parties. For whatever existed of that, this appointment does away with it.

People will stop calling the judges "liberal' and 'conservative' and start calling them "Republican" and "Democrat" and calling their rulings politically motivated. Thus the only branch of the US government still held in some respect sees its downfall. Good job, Trumpites.

Well you do need to add it, given what you wrote is not the least out of line with something the Trump enthusiasts we see here might have easily posted.

My sarcasm is rooted in the fact I'm glad it's over. I didn't contribute to the discussion on this thread until today. Couldn't stand the never-ending media coverage of it on CBC. It's one thing to mention it, but they couldn't stop talking about it. More than half the show was about Kavanaugh. Meanwhile our PM pulls stunts in the HOC, and we hear practically nothing. So you tell me, you want to get all excited about this here shit? Fill your boots, fella.

But Kavanaugh too partisan ?

Was anything she said incorrect? Besides, she didn't condemn any sitting Republican or Republicans in general. She condemned a candidate seen as unlikely to win. And she admitted she was wrong to do even that. This vs Kavanaugh's sputtering raging insistence there was a conspiracy by Democrats against him.

Some more interesting info about the baseless allegations of Blasey Ford.

Could the Kavanaugh confirmation be stopped by the Women US Senators banding together?  There are currently 23 women senators.  Below is a video with a list and how they voted. https://youtu.be/NWOEacjt9EM

Why should they?  Female politicians are no different from male politicians.

I don't have the numbers, but I'm almost certain more men than women voted against Kavanaugh.

The weird thing is that I tend to agree with Argus.

Kavanaugh is like a Kennedy. Rich, American Catholic. Protected if Democrat.

=====

For the record, for English-Canadians in particular, I have often stated that Canada is a Catholic country but the US is a Protestant country.

Kennedy was the only Catholic president.

In Canada, we've had many Catholic PMs: Joe Clark, Mulroney, Turner, Thompson (my favourite) - all Roman Catholics.

Agreed...if Kavanaugh was a Democrat, he could have driven a car into a lake while drunk with Ford drowning in the passenger seat....no big deal.

[-TSS-]

My guess is that Kavanaugh doesn't even know himself is he guilty of what he is being accused of. After all, it has been 36 years.

He may well be guilty of what he is being accused of but if he had been brought down on bare hearsay and unsubstantiated evidence it would have opened the Pandora's box for the future events.

I'm sure he knows he lied through his teeth to the committee about his drinking and partying, though.

Hey, I wonder if the CBC will cover President Trump's victory lap tonight with Justice Kavanaugh ?    LIVE !
