Darren Munsell not what I saw. I saw a whiner who was partisan, who lied (and not just that day but in previous hearings), and who can't handle his emotions. He will reap what he sows. He's just a toadie for the corporate elite. Either you're a corporate elite or you don't see the 'men' behind the curtain my friend.
No, I'm a poor person who taught your children. I remember when decorum and integrity was the backbone of our leaders, both in DC and business. Now I see greed, exclusion of the poor and graft. Beware because the French Revolution taught us that the middle class must exist as a buffer between the rich and poor. The US middle class is being squeezed for every dime, with nothing given back in return, and eventually this anger between us will fester on both sides out of fear. You use labels too, don't you bro?
He was there as a son, husband, and, dad, but not a judge? Please, I don't care if they pick another conservative judge, just not him. He is way too controversial.
Let's see .... if I were in a job interview and acted obnoxious, argumentative, belligerent and arrogant but then promised that I wouldn't act that way if I were hired, do you think anyone in their right mind would hire me? Why should a Supreme Court justice be held to a lower standard?
He was pouting like a little kid if he truly didn't do anything he shouldn't have worried about it and kept his composure and answered the questions with no problem. That's his guilty conscious showing

There is not enough evidence in the cases that have not gone past their statutes of limitations. Its possible to do a civil lawsuit, but again 36 years is a long time
i agree, but Trump has just successfully put more conservative judges on the bench across the country than any other president before him. our courts are lost to us. he has stacked the decks while we were looking at the Kavenaugh case, and slid all of those nominees through. many supported by current democratic senators as well. That needs to be brought out more in the coverage. We have been duped over and over and over. Nothing short of the entire country getting into the streets is going to turn this ship around. And making sure every single conservative politician loses their seat in congress and the house between now and 20/20.
We should look into his acts of Perjury during the hearing. He lied about his drinking history etc. There is not enough for the sexual assault/misconduct unfortunately.
If Brat were honorable, he would withdraw his name, and end his pursuit of the SCOTUS, for the sake of institution he admires so much. I don't care to know how many multiple personalities he has.

Her face all throughout the hearing looked like that of a woman who was disgusted. Only time her expression changed was when he mentioned his daughter.
his righteous indignation = entitlement shock! being treated as a subject of scrutiny and not the all powerful, entitled, elite that he truly believes himself and his loved ones to be
so why is he at his job interview as a husband son and father.....instead of displaying the honor, dignity, and integrity that is required of a judge. How can we possibly trust him after that dishonorable display of anger and hate. How can he possibly be bipartisan after this. It's obvious that he has a lot of anger towards dems and is throwing out conspiracy theories as to who was behind the women exposing Kavanaugh. As Fred Rogers would have said..... "Can you say paranoid".
The problem is that the crazy rude disrespectful behavior has worked for his boss Trump since gotten elected so he thought why not give it a try as well..
Kavanaugh is promising to be more judicial in temperament; is that like Trump promising he would be more "presidential" when voted in? We've all seen how that turned out 🤪
I voted for Trump, but I actually agree with your comment. Trump is not always "presidential". Personally, I think it's a good thing. Best economy ever. Trade deals that work for the USA. Minority unemployment at all time low and respect from other world leaders. I'll take a president who speaks his mind over a teleprompter any day.
@@johnroscoe1773 as Barbara has said, you'd have to be joking John. World leaders are laughing at Trump behind and in front of his face. The economy has been on this trajectory for many years and very few real economists can point to anything Trump has done to contribute. In fact job growth has been at a slower rate than when he took office. This claim that minority employment is up because of him is such a joke. He hasn't done a single thing to make that happen. If employment growth happens in any economy it doesn't happen based on race...it's all or nothing. We are yet to see the detrimental effects his trade war will have not only on the US economy but the world. He's had to offer $12billion in handouts to farmers alone to make up for the disastrous impact on US farmers. Republicans would call that welfare and socialism by the way. He is economically illiterate, morally bereft and an inveterate liar. Guaging somebody's suitability for high office based on their ability to shoot their mouth off wildly, belligerantly, irrationally and mendaciously at right wing rallies seems to me to be a very poor standard. I pity his cabinet constantly trying to clean up after his "off teleprompter" brain explosions.
unbelievable they would confirm a 'judge' that threatened the minority party..with vengeful words that can not be ignored. now he is eating those words.. after a useless limited investigation he only has his responses to speak for him lol
I'm studying sexual crime. It's roughly1/3 women who are sexually abused in some way or another. I expect its more than that due to the dark figure of crime. Anyway, more sexual assaults go unreported than are reported. I agree with you but there are many good reasons why a survivor would choose not to report.
@@cyndimoring9389 so you are pretty much saying to let the person that did the sexual assault get away with it because it would create too many court cases?
@Tony Mario When they're lying most of the time either the story doesn't hold up, Or the accused's credibility is the deciding factor. Either way it's a gamble for justice.
remember when neil gorsuch was appointed to the SC? trump tried to hug him and he was very adamant in keeping an arm's length. optics matter. gorsuch was republican's choice yet he had enough integrity to show hes not chum chummy w trump
That sounds like what they were saying about Trump before he was elected. That he is going to change once he is president. The opposite was the case. Believe people once they show you who they are.
You can't freak out like that and then be your own glowing character witness. They have plenty of other judges to choose from who are just as conservative that can demonstrate their legit temperament
If Kavanaugh is confirmed , and he becomes the SUPREME court judge , i will be the next SUPREME court judge. I had my Law degree from Sean Hannity University of idiot's. And i love BEER 🍺 , i drink BEER 🍺 , do you drink BEER ??? 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
So he just realized his behavior NOW?! We've been talking about it for a week...where have YOU been?! Or is that the REASON....because we're talking about it?! Too little..Too late
So true. What the FBI were asked to do in this sham investigation is similar to: looking up into the foliage of a tree 🌲 and report on the existence of fish, based upon what lives in a birds nest. So sad that the senate of the United States 🇺🇸 has sunk to this new low. Don’t blame the criminals of the future when the so many of the republicans 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 in the senate behave as they do. ☘️🙂🌲
@xr7fan the burden of proof is ON BRETT! This isn't a criminal trial, it's a job interview. It's his job to demonstrate that he is qualified for the job. The standard for a supreme court judge is not "the evidence fails to show beyond a reasonable doubt that he sexually assaulted anyone", abiding by the law is the bare minimum standard of the average person. The standard for a judge is much higher! He has to show that, not only did he not assault anyone but he also has a judge's temperament. Which, it seems, he has not. He has been caught lying and has been dismissive and disrespectful of the people he is trying to get confirmed by. If you were rude to someone who was interviewing you for a job, you wouldn't get hired. Simple as that. The bare minimum for a normal job interview is that you must be polite and professional. The standard for judges is HIGHER than that! Again, in a criminal trial, all he'd have to do to escape liability is RAISE A DOUBT that he sexually assaulted Dr Ford. The question in issue HERE is "is this person fit for the extremely prestigious role of supreme court judge?" And I don't know whether he sexually assaulted her or not but having any suspicion or doubt that he may have sexually assaulted anyone suggests that he is not of the type of character that people should want to be associated with the supreme court. Statistically, it is very unlikely that Dr Ford is lying. But it really doesn't matter whether he did it or not now, as far as his confirmation is concerned. He has shown himself to not have a cool enough temperament for the supreme court. Tough. They can just pick the next judge on their list anyway.
Remember how Kavanaugh started going on and on about how he was a virgin (at that time )in the Fox News interview -- even though the interviewer didn't ask? He acted as though he deserved a medal for his virginity -- assuming he told the truth.
Mark Twain said; "Laws control the lesser man...Right conduct controls the greater one". With tomorrows vote I think we will sadly see plenty of the former and not nearly enough of the latter. Vote them out next month.
Twrrence... You know that this is the line he fed his parents and other authority figures for decades, right? The shame is they believed him. "I Promise". SMH
Everyone already saw the real man. Uncontrolled, belligerent, angry, evasive, weepy! He should be able to function under stress to be on the Supreme Court! If Kavanaugh goes through, the American people will no longer believe in the court system and with good reason!.
However NO Where Did He(Kavanaugh) Say, That He Will Also Be Bipartisan,Funny How He Left That Out!!! DENY,DENY,DENY!!! THIS MAN WILL HURT OUR SUPREME COURT AND OUR COUNTRY!!! MARK MY WORDS!!!!
he's not supposed to be "bipartisan". big misunderstanding of what role the SC is suppoeed fill in our country. he's supoosed to be constitutional. bias towards what the constitution dictates. not what he thinks it should dictate or what he hopes it dictates. there's no personal opinion injected into this, despite it being called judicial opinion. it's supposed to be opinion of how the constitution does or does not apply in a given issue.
What goes around comes around, Bart. The truth is a stubborn property: it rises to the surface when those who buried it start to relax in what they imagine to be security.
That’s what I said. Even if he’s completely innocent of these accusations, his attitude and deportment at the hearing was totally unacceptable. He’s not fit to serve in the Supreme Court.
I feel like the accusations are only a small piece of the puzzle of Kavanaugh's incompetence. He is exactly the kind of person republicans are referring to when they talk about draining the swamp. Except that he isn't a democrat...
"The very fact that they did this Wall Street Journal article means that they're nervous, they're not sure they've got the votes, so we'll see what tomorrow brings." Thank you!
My Oh My! Now k's basically repeating what his coach said a few weeks ago, what you are hearing and seeing is not what I'm really saying and doing. Go figure!
Remember how Kavanaugh started going on and on about how he was a virgin (at that time )in the Fox News interview -- even though the interviewer didn't ask? He acted as though he deserved a medal for his virginity -- assuming he told the truth.
In view of all the high toned rhetoric of God and Country, Kavanaugh should withdraw his nomination; then resign his existing judgeship. He won't starve and America will not suffer. If he does not, then we'll all lose. The sanctity of our Supreme Court demands this action and Kavanaugh should know this. Just resign "to protect our Courts". If not, God help you!
Not impartial. His prepared statement, his behavior and obvious partisanship are all the proof we need. Then, instead of simply admitting and apologizing, he goes on to make excuses for himself like any old ego-self defending his ego-stance. Even if he were running for office this would be inelegant and immature, but he is seeking a nomination for the highest court in the land. Sad :(
No, Bret you made the two week inquiry a circus. You given an opportunity to demonstrate the content of your character but no you premeditatedly choose to act out. You choose to act out you political inclination because you are a political operative. FYI, the TV picks up negative auras and records you while you lie to the world.
America “a oligarchy with out Representation of its populace!” High health care costs, school shootings, low wages and part time work! High housing costs, poor public schools, lousy teacher pay! High senators pay, Highest military budget in the world! Poor mental health care! High homeless population and biggest wealth gap compared to other industrialized nations around the world! Ouch
cattigereyes1 Absolutely true! So why wouldn’t they nominated this guy? Who is would have even excepted the nomination from DT? Men with integrity and honor wouldn’t want to be within 50 feet of this circus!!
So, who investigates the F.B.I.? By the way, folks, before you go to vote, find out if your polling place had been moved. Mine was last time, and I had no clue as to where to go.
Brett Whines and cries about his past coming back to haunt him as well as people resisting him/fighting back rather than simply giving him when he feels he is owed.
exactly correct. bingo. Voting in a block is the best and only solution. but are they brave enough, selfless enough to do that? I highly doubt it. Collins will be a yes. As will flake. Murokowski may dissent however i am Pretty sure the independent manuchkin will vote no. just a hunch.
I do not agree with your statements, Kelly Clark. GOP senators have flouted the rules, and I think, have acted with an impoverished sense of duty to the constitution. The Dems have acted with far more sensitivity and honor. Kavanaugh was a poor choice even before Dr. Ford's allegations.
@@garygansbrubaker I looked up jurisprudence and the question is well within context about questioning kavanaugh stance on sitting presidents and if the can be criminally charged with a criminal offense while sitting as the President.Look try to intellectually check someone else.
America,I love you,an I Americans,I love you too,but here in the Caribbean,there is something called tough love,so I will say this in the way it's meant to be said,'' there are many naive and stupid people living among you,have you not recognize that the once great place of opportunity has collapse and what little you have left is slowly being taken away?You have about 50 old dishonest and evil people in that republican senate,that was not please and still is'nt please,that a black man was once the President of the USA,and they are intent to destabilize and destroy the place because of that,but what goes around comes around,and Bret Kavanaugh will cause massive embarrassment to you very soon.
Kavanaugh sounded just like Trump always does. Everyone is out to get him... deflect, defend, deny, and deflect some more. This Judge is a disgrace in his temperament.
As European I love this US Soap Opera, featuring a Reality Show TV-Host and especially those 2 century-old, grumpy Republican Senators, who clearly migrated from the Muppet Show to the US Senate. Great Show, I'm really curious about the next episodes. The USA is turning into a Reality TV Show, but what else can you expect, if you elect a Reality Show TV Host.
who are all the net trolls? They seems to hate Dems and support Kavanaugh who is questionable choice for Scotus, and Trump who has been impulsive, erratic and unpredictable. (Not such a good family man at times either). My Grandfather was a small businessman and Republican but the party has changed so much. Now Most of them just want power. Dems and Repubs used to get along well enough to get things done. I wish to all heck and heaven they would do back to governing our country responsibly. This isn't all about THEM. This is about US. The citizens of the United States of America. They need to answer to us.
most people are democrats when they are young, then if they get rich they become republicans, then afterwards when they learn of the human experience, they go back to democrat
The issue is very simple and is derived from this English case: R v Sussex Justices, Ex parte McCarthy ([1924] 1 KB 256, [1923] All ER Rep 233) which gave rise to this oft-quoted aphorism "Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done." Et in Arcadia Ego. Paul
I give kavanaughs very partisan testimony 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺. Imagine what he's like when he's drunk? Now I know why his wife and kid's always look scared. Oh yeah if anyone wants to buy a kavanaugh 📆 I'm your guy. There going fast so hurry while there still 2 months left to record every thing you did each day. My kids look forward the year in review each year more than there bdays and Christmas. We always have a swell time! Gee whiz
Keep talking to us Lawrence. The back stories on these issues need to have your bright light shined into them. Thank you for your continuing effort to make voters a smarter lot. Hope it does some good for many months and years hence.
Surely in a country of 330 million people you could find at lease one other judge, one that has no history of sexual assault, alleged or otherwise???? Why is Kavanaugh so special? It's utterly baffling. Isn't the reputation and integrity of the court of superior importance??
It is disqualifying for a judge to even think what he said.
You can't take it back! You showed your true colors! 😧
Rick Harvey, it’s not just Kavanaugh who is receiving death threats. Where’s your compassion for Ford? You’re being hypocritical.
Brett feels he is entitled to be on the Supreme Court. He is too political and partisan to rule objectively.
Kavanaugh showed us exactly who and what he is. He doesn't get a 'do over'.
Darren Munsell not what I saw. I saw a whiner who was partisan, who lied (and not just that day but in previous hearings), and who can't handle his emotions. He will reap what he sows. He's just a toadie for the corporate elite. Either you're a corporate elite or you don't see the 'men' behind the curtain my friend.

He's a 'keg is half full' kind of guy who doesn't take 'no' for an answer.
what goes around comes around eh kavanaugh?
Iona Nyzr you caught that too huh 🤣 THE IRONY
unbelievable they would confirm a 'judge' that threatened the minority party..with vengeful words that can not be ignored.
now he is eating those words.. after a useless limited investigation he only has his responses to speak for him lol
Threaten a minority party, who said that?
Life tends to smack you on the back of the head sometimes?
Exactly what he said........
Women need to press charges against their abusers, asap.
Angel Light the courts would back up for years if they all pressed charges at once
I'm studying sexual crime. It's roughly1/3 women who are sexually abused in some way or another. I expect its more than that due to the dark figure of crime. Anyway, more sexual assaults go unreported than are reported. I agree with you but there are many good reasons why a survivor would choose not to report.
@@cyndimoring9389 so you are pretty much saying to let the person that did the sexual assault get away with it because it would create too many court cases?
@Tony Mario When they're lying most of the time either the story doesn't hold up, Or the accused's credibility is the deciding factor. Either way it's a gamble for justice.
Angel Light And a lot of men need to stop abusing women
remember when neil gorsuch was appointed to the SC? trump tried to hug him and he was very adamant in keeping an arm's length. optics matter. gorsuch was republican's choice yet he had enough integrity to show hes not chum chummy w trump
That sounds like what they were saying about Trump before he was elected. That he is going to change once he is president. The opposite was the case. Believe people once they show you who they are.
You can't freak out like that and then be your own glowing character witness. They have plenty of other judges to choose from who are just as conservative that can demonstrate their legit temperament
If Kavanaugh is confirmed , and he becomes the SUPREME court judge , i will be the next SUPREME court judge.
I had my Law degree from Sean Hannity University of idiot's. And i love BEER 🍺 , i drink BEER 🍺 , do you drink BEER ??? 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
His Temper was on Full Display.
So he just realized his behavior NOW?! We've been talking about it for a week...where have YOU been?! Or is that the REASON....because we're talking about it?! Too little..Too late
Hear, hear Justice Stevens!!!
"There are no whales in the ocean!"
"We gave the FBI a cup of sea water and they investigated and couldn't find any whales!"
Richard Owens LOL 😆 love the metaphor.
@xr7fan are you purposely stupid or kidding? 40+people contacted the FBI and weren't interviewed? SMDH
I chuckled way more than I should have.
So true. What the FBI were asked to do in this sham investigation is similar to: looking up into the foliage of a tree 🌲 and report on the existence of fish, based upon what lives in a birds nest.
So sad that the senate of the United States 🇺🇸 has sunk to this new low.
Don’t blame the criminals of the future when the so many of the republicans 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 in the senate behave as they do.
☘️🙂🌲
@xr7fan the burden of proof is ON BRETT! This isn't a criminal trial, it's a job interview. It's his job to demonstrate that he is qualified for the job. The standard for a supreme court judge is not "the evidence fails to show beyond a reasonable doubt that he sexually assaulted anyone", abiding by the law is the bare minimum standard of the average person. The standard for a judge is much higher! He has to show that, not only did he not assault anyone but he also has a judge's temperament. Which, it seems, he has not. He has been caught lying and has been dismissive and disrespectful of the people he is trying to get confirmed by. If you were rude to someone who was interviewing you for a job, you wouldn't get hired. Simple as that. The bare minimum for a normal job interview is that you must be polite and professional. The standard for judges is HIGHER than that! Again, in a criminal trial, all he'd have to do to escape liability is RAISE A DOUBT that he sexually assaulted Dr Ford. The question in issue HERE is "is this person fit for the extremely prestigious role of supreme court judge?" And I don't know whether he sexually assaulted her or not but having any suspicion or doubt that he may have sexually assaulted anyone suggests that he is not of the type of character that people should want to be associated with the supreme court. Statistically, it is very unlikely that Dr Ford is lying. But it really doesn't matter whether he did it or not now, as far as his confirmation is concerned. He has shown himself to not have a cool enough temperament for the supreme court. Tough. They can just pick the next judge on their list anyway.
Confirmation of a Judge should be done by other qualified Judges, not the Senate, nor the Congress.
+Ronnie James The Electoral College should also be abolished, but that is the Law of the Land...for now.
why is noone looking at the text and investigating kavanaugh contacting witnesses
Remember how Kavanaugh started going on and on about how he was a virgin (at that time )in the Fox News interview -- even though the interviewer didn't ask? He acted as though he deserved a medal for his virginity -- assuming he told the truth.
Mark Twain said; "Laws control the lesser man...Right conduct controls the greater one". With tomorrows vote I think we will sadly see plenty of the former and not nearly enough of the latter. Vote them out next month.
Aww little Bretty promises to be a good boy...let's give him a suckers...good boy
Cruel!.... But fair!
Twrrence... You know that this is the line he fed his parents and other authority figures for decades, right? The shame is they believed him. "I Promise". SMH
Everyone already saw the real man. Uncontrolled, belligerent, angry, evasive, weepy! He should be able to function under stress to be on the Supreme Court! If Kavanaugh goes through, the American people will no longer believe in the court system and with good reason!.
However NO Where Did He(Kavanaugh) Say, That He Will Also Be Bipartisan,Funny How He Left That Out!!! DENY,DENY,DENY!!! THIS MAN WILL HURT OUR SUPREME COURT AND OUR COUNTRY!!! MARK MY WORDS!!!!
he's not supposed to be "bipartisan". big misunderstanding of what role the SC is suppoeed fill in our country. he's supoosed to be constitutional. bias towards what the constitution dictates. not what he thinks it should dictate or what he hopes it dictates. there's no personal opinion injected into this, despite it being called judicial opinion. it's supposed to be opinion of how the constitution does or does not apply in a given issue.
What goes around comes around, Bart. The truth is a stubborn property: it rises to the surface when those who buried it start to relax in what they imagine to be security.
your wife looks so proud brett, just beaming with pride. NAUGHT!
He said a bunch of lies.
That’s what I said. Even if he’s completely innocent of these accusations, his attitude and deportment at the hearing was totally unacceptable. He’s not fit to serve in the Supreme Court.
I feel like the accusations are only a small piece of the puzzle of Kavanaugh's incompetence. He is exactly the kind of person republicans are referring to when they talk about draining the swamp. Except that he isn't a democrat...
Why would they think they NEEDED "a desperate, last-minute explanation" if they thought this was in the bag?
"The very fact that they did this Wall Street Journal article means that they're nervous, they're not sure they've got the votes, so we'll see what tomorrow brings." Thank you!
My Oh My! Now k's basically repeating what his coach said a few weeks ago, what you are hearing and seeing is not what I'm really saying and doing. Go figure!
I was a virgin when I was 17 too. Where is my Supreme Court seat?
Remember how Kavanaugh started going on and on about how he was a virgin (at that time )in the Fox News interview -- even though the interviewer didn't ask? He acted as though he deserved a medal for his virginity -- assuming he told the truth.
The point is, he thinks he is entitled.
Brat pretending now that he is an independent, not partial judge... well, another lie.
Oldest Justice , Justice Stevens in his 90s he serve like 35 years on the court
"My past misbehavior shouldn't count because I'm such a good boy" is kind of a theme with Brett K
Big little lies of Brett
A promise by kavanaugh means what???
In view of all the high toned rhetoric of God and Country, Kavanaugh should withdraw his nomination; then resign his existing judgeship. He won't starve and America will not suffer. If he does not, then we'll all lose. The sanctity of our Supreme Court demands this action and Kavanaugh should know this. Just resign "to protect our Courts". If not, God help you!
Not impartial. His prepared statement, his behavior and obvious partisanship are all the proof we need. Then, instead of simply admitting and apologizing, he goes on to make excuses for himself like any old ego-self defending his ego-stance. Even if he were running for office this would be inelegant and immature, but he is seeking a nomination for the highest court in the land. Sad :(
KENNEDY'S retirement and BANK ACCOUNTS NEED 2 B INVESTIGATED.
Now that is what I've been talking about! Great point!!
Yes, indeed. He retired under dubious circumstances.
So he was a partisan maniac last week but now he's cured?
No, Bret you made the two week inquiry a circus. You given an opportunity to demonstrate the content of your character but no you premeditatedly choose to act out. You choose to act out you political inclination because you are a political operative. FYI, the TV picks up negative auras and records you while you lie to the world.
He couldn’t even answer simple questions without delaying, deflecting, and stalling.
America “a oligarchy with out Representation of its populace!” High health care costs, school shootings, low wages and part time work! High housing costs, poor public schools, lousy teacher pay! High senators pay, Highest military budget in the world! Poor mental health care! High homeless population and biggest wealth gap compared to other industrialized nations around the world! Ouch
cattigereyes1 Absolutely true! So why wouldn’t they nominated this guy? Who is would have even excepted the nomination from DT? Men with integrity and honor wouldn’t want to be within 50 feet of
this circus!!
A Supreme Court Nominee shouldnt be writing Op-Eds before being voted on. This is disqualifying. He is gaslighting us.
So, who investigates the F.B.I.? By the way, folks, before you go to vote, find out if your polling place had been moved. Mine was last time, and I had no clue as to where to go.
Brett Whines and cries about his past coming back to haunt him as well as people resisting him/fighting back rather than simply giving him when he feels he is owed.
Collins, Murkowski and Flake should be a united front in a NO vote. They know this is a sham.
exactly correct. bingo. Voting in a block is the best and only solution. but are they brave enough, selfless enough to do that? I highly doubt it. Collins will be a yes. As will flake. Murokowski may dissent however i am Pretty sure the independent manuchkin will vote no. just a hunch.
I do not agree with your statements, Kelly Clark. GOP senators have flouted the rules, and I think, have acted with an impoverished sense of duty to the constitution. The Dems have acted with far more sensitivity and honor. Kavanaugh was a poor choice even before Dr. Ford's allegations.
Senator Heitkamp for Supreme Justice! She is courageous!
We can count on Kavanaugh "boofing" on the Constitution every day in the Supreme Court.
Too partisan for Supreme Court.
"I am an independent, impartial judge" if you have to say it aloud, you are not. Just like "I am a genius", no true genius would say that,
Ignore Kelly, she is an it (program) at best or a he, and Russian at worst.
It seems to me a display of the same kind of behaviour I was pointing out
Kavanaugh has amazing stress-related "tongue-in- cheek " behaviour..combined with snorting...that distracts us from his testimony?
Old Kav, turned 17 in Feb of 1982.
I have seen enough of Brett Kavanaugh as well. #BeGone
The real question everyone should ask .If kavanaug believes a a sitting President can be charged and convicted of a crime.
+Darren Munsell You're not familiar with Jurisprudence, are you? You should stop commenting, as you're digging a very deep hole for yourself.
@@garygansbrubaker I looked up jurisprudence and the question is well within context about questioning kavanaugh stance on sitting presidents and if the can be criminally charged with a criminal offense while sitting as the President.Look try to intellectually check someone else.
I learn so much about Congress and how it works from Lawrence. Thank you!
America,I love you,an I Americans,I love you too,but here in the Caribbean,there is something called tough love,so I will say this in the way it's meant to be said,'' there are many naive and stupid people living among you,have you not recognize that the once great place of opportunity has collapse and what little you have left is slowly being taken away?You have about 50 old dishonest and evil people in that republican senate,that was not please and still is'nt please,that a black man was once the President of the USA,and they are intent to destabilize and destroy the place because of that,but what goes around comes around,and Bret Kavanaugh will cause massive embarrassment to you very soon.
Kavanaugh sounded just like Trump always does. Everyone is out to get him... deflect, defend, deny, and deflect some more. This Judge is a disgrace in his temperament.
As European I love this US Soap Opera, featuring a Reality Show TV-Host and especially those 2 century-old, grumpy Republican Senators, who clearly migrated from the Muppet Show to the US Senate. Great Show, I'm really curious about the next episodes. The USA is turning into a Reality TV Show, but what else can you expect, if you elect a Reality Show TV Host.
We actually hate it. We do not agree with any of this and most of us are sick of living in Trumps reality tv show. Just so you know.
Those who vote for Brett will have to live with that for the rest of their life.
who are all the net trolls? They seems to hate Dems and support Kavanaugh who is questionable choice for Scotus, and Trump who has been impulsive, erratic and unpredictable. (Not such a good family man at times either). My Grandfather was a small businessman and Republican but the party has changed so much. Now Most of them just want power. Dems and Repubs used to get along well enough to get things done. I wish to all heck and heaven they would do back to governing our country responsibly. This isn't all about THEM. This is about US. The citizens of the United States of America. They need to answer to us.
Trump got desperate and begged for Putin to use the (really, actual) Russian army's trolls against the US.
Imagine that, a man who made a career of judging other people doesn't like to be judged him self.
Jeff Flake is the definition of "Two Faced".
Thank you Lawrence!
But it took him to today for the apology lol ok right
He is clearly incompetent & unable to conduct himself like an adult.
most people are democrats when they are young, then if they get rich they become republicans, then afterwards when they learn of the human experience, they go back to democrat
He sure is fighting for it. Makes me believe that he is more and more guilty. Nothing he is doing passes the smell test
The issue is very simple and is derived from this English case: R v Sussex Justices, Ex parte McCarthy ([1924] 1 KB 256, [1923] All ER Rep 233) which gave rise to this oft-quoted aphorism "Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done." Et in Arcadia Ego. Paul
What do you expect from BK. He is a liar like his boss, 45.
I give kavanaughs very partisan testimony 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺. Imagine what he's like when he's drunk? Now I know why his wife and kid's always look scared. Oh yeah if anyone wants to buy a kavanaugh 📆 I'm your guy. There going fast so hurry while there still 2 months left to record every thing you did each day. My kids look forward the year in review each year more than there bdays and Christmas. We always have a swell time! Gee whiz
Keep talking to us Lawrence. The back stories on these issues need to have your bright light shined into them. Thank you for your continuing effort to make voters a smarter lot. Hope it does some good for many months and years hence.
Mask off....
Why does KAVANAUGH GET TO SPEAK WHEN EVERYONE ELSE can’t...more hinkyness
Surely in a country of 330 million people you could find at lease one other judge, one that has no history of sexual assault, alleged or otherwise???? Why is Kavanaugh so special? It's utterly baffling. Isn't the reputation and integrity of the court of superior importance??
It simply is not up to an applicant for a job to reprimand his potential employers.
