Thomas keeps his mouth clamped shut; I doubt Kavanaugh’s capable of doing that.

Any moderate Republicans truly in play are probably already captured. The anti-Trump crowd will vote against Trump. That’s the trick here. There’s never that many independents in play, and with how polarizing Trump is it’s even smaller than usual. Anyone who will vote for Democrats against Trump isn’t going to go back…
Jack, I think you’re forgetting about civility! And that if the Democrats keep playing fair and polite and continue to throw out olive branches then eventually the Republicans will come around! Sure, it may happen at the exact moment the earth gets too hot and burns away everything, including the Neo-Republican led…
The potential upside, gaining votes among moderate Republicans and conservative Independents, is minimal. The downside, angering your base in an election where your base is highly energized and turnout is your best path to victory, is massive.
There is also the downside of actually getting the gang rapist they vote to get onto the Supreme Court onto the Supreme Court, which seems rather more important than whatever electoral politics they stand to fuck up.
When you combine his volcanic rage against the Dems yesterday, with the implications of the Gamble case and Trump, there seems a very high risk of his impartiality being compromised.
This is so stupid. The potential upside, gaining votes among moderate Republicans and conservative Independents, is minimal. The downside, angering your base in an election where your base is highly energized and turnout is your best path to victory, is massive. This is politically stupid, morally stupid, ethically…
This is why Democrats keep losing elections and keep losing in politics.
Perez and the whole lot of backstabbing DNC “centrists” should’ve been torpedo’d out of their leaderships positions the minute they handed the WH to Trump.
Tom Perez and the rest of the old guard Democrats need to step the fuck aside.
And considering how uber-partisan crybaby Kavanaugh has been caught cold lying under oath, it ought to be a slam-dunk.
You must be new here. You have to press Alt+F4 to see the life hacks.
He went too far when he said the investigation was revenge on behalf of the Clintons.
Look, impeachment of a justice isn’t gonna happen. It would actually be easier to just increase the size of the bench (e.g. to 11 or 13 justices) and then fill the bench with justices who aren’t creeps (like Thomas and Kavaaugh) or thieves (like Gorsuch). That’s as easy as passing a bill. The Constitution doesn’t…
If they can actually block Kavanaugh and keep the seat open until January, what I would do just to troll Trump, McConnell, and the right-wing intelligentsia is declare that, the Senate never having acted on it, the Garland nomination is still live and proceed with confirmation hearings. Then confirm him and dare Trump…
Let’s say the Democrats win the White House, Senate, and House in 2020. If they had any backbone, they should impeach Kavanaugh for perjury, and replace him with Merrick Garland.
“favoritism toward litigants”
No. But hopefully there will be an impeachment for liking beer too much, raping someone and lying to Congress about it.
