I am cognizant of the fact that when I post something relating to Kavanaugh's opinions it doesn't get much play here, but man it really feels to me like it just keeps going up a level.

This time: Kavanaugh questions the decision in United States v Nixon. You know, the case that ruled Nixon had to turn over his tapes in a unanimous decision. One of the key moments in Watergate.

/2018/07/21/c48e7316-8cfc-11e8-a345-a1bf7847b375_story.html

man i wonder why kavanaugh was nominated. (Heck, IIRC, it was reported that McConnell even cautioned beforehand that this would be a more difficult nomination than the other options)

I'm assuming that's the other example the article mentions the WH noted when responding? The article only details the 2016 speech he gave.

I mean, I'm pretty sure literally everybody here with a brain has long since acknowledged that his opinions on matters like this should be disqualifying regardless of his other positions and opinions.

Well I think he should be able to, given:

1) This isn't the spot the GOP stole, this one is rightfully his
2) Vacancies on the court should be filled
3) Tit for tat is probably not going to lead to good governance outcomes, even if the GOP fucking deserves it and Trump should be impeached

Although:

1) I think something is fishy about the timing of Kennedy's retirement
2) Kavanaugh sucks and should not be confirmed

I don't think anybody disputes that Trump legally has the right to nominate somebody

But Kavanaugh is 100% absolutely a pick he made to try to stack the court in his favor for his inevitable legal battle to not be subpoenaed/indicted/etc, and that is absolutely not ok.

Florida's stand your ground law is really disturbing.

I mean the law is the law. While it is super sad for those kids and that family, and I mean utterly tragic, it is a shame he just couldn't refrain from physically attacking him.

It is an open and closed case as far as the law is concerned in that state. I feel like the guy may have been a bit eager to shoot there, but I mean, legally, he had the right to.

So President Obama knew about Russia before the Election. Why didnt he do something about it? Why didnt he tell our campaign? Because it is all a big hoax, thats why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!


Its all a big hoax? Wow he really must have misspoke a lot of words in Helsinki

Here's everybody's regularly scheduled reminder that the reason Obama did very little about Russia pre-election is because A) He recognized it would mean very little coming from just one side of the aisle and B) Mitch McConnel both refused to make it bipartisan and threatened to politicise the hell out of it if Obama made it public anyways.

tl;dr fuck Mitch, he's just as complicit as Trump.
