Kavanaugh looks like he's asleep with his eyes open.

McCains replacement is former minority Whip Jon Kyl (Flakes predecessor), though apparently he has currently only agreed to serve through the end of the year

From what I've been reading from Senate reporters, it seems that the Dems have likely decided that stopping Kavanaugh is hopeless and seem to be more focused on base signaling.

If that's the case, I really wish they would focus their efforts on trying to box him into committing to recusal from all Trump-related matters (which in a saner time should have been a slam dunk case to make).

The dems have made a very fair argument in delaying todays hearing.

Grassely is just an old man that does not care to listen to reason.

I don't see any reason to delay the confirmation. That would put it closer to the election and give more credence to the theory that we should wait until after the election.

Here's what I don't get about people saying the Dems should fight harder against Kavanaugh: there's no real plan for if they did somehow stop his appointment. Presumably Trump would just pick another judge with similar views. The only unusual thing about Kavanaugh is how his views on prosecuting the president could make the administration effectively above the law, but that's only an issue if the other four right wing judges would agree (and if that's the case, I'd expect the same from any Trump appointee). Is the idea that the Democrats should stall in case they win the Senate so they can hold the seat open indefinitely?

I guess the idea would be to hold it open until after the midterms where there's a possibility that the Dems hold the Senate and Trump might be forced to pick someone more moderate (though that's quite unlikely to happen).

As I have seen it formulated, the idea seems to be "delay for Mueller" , the underlying idea being that Trumps presidency is illegitimate and he therefore shouldn't be allowed to shape the court.

It's an application of the Biden Rule, but the Dems forgot that actually, the McConnell Rule was applied in 2016 - do whatever is best for Republicans.

my favorite thing is when a writer gets a big scoop, like "President asks Pentagon to assassinate a foreign head of state," and then they save that scoop *FOR A GODDAMN BOOK A YEAR LATER*

And you doubted me for supporting Trump. Told you his SCOTUS picks were good.

I'll give you that. His policies have been far more conservative than I thought they'd be too.

Is it pedophilia if you earmark a child for sex after she passes the age of consent? Asking for a friend

I just dont understand how conservatives can hate their fellow Americans so much that they think corruption and criminal activity is better than liberal ideas that might not 100% work to their benefit.

And then they laugh at how liberals are panicking. Last I checked, when Hillary Clinton had the mere PERCEPTION of being corrupt, liberal voters didnt turn out to vote for her. Yet Trump wreaks untold havoc on the country from a position of criminal activity, and entitled trolls whove never felt a day of hardship in their life CHEER, because liberals actually give a shit about America.
