1. LOL!

He's going straight to the Supreme Court for the next 40 years.

[Sanity Claws]

2. That's funny?

If you think that Shred is Quixotic, keep in mind that only two Republicans need to be convinced in order to defeat Kavanaugh's nomination.
I think this can be done. Remember the effect that massive protests against the repeal of ACA had.

[Kablooie]

5. And two democrats.

2 have said they will probably vote for him.

[Sanity Claws]

6. Let's keep the pressure on them.

Let's keep talking about perjury.
No one should be made a Supreme Court Justice if they committed perjury and this guy did it several times.

9. Republicans Don't Care About Perjury

The so-called Pro-Choice repub Senators don't even believe in Abortion Rights.

He's going to get confirmed with around 54 votes. Sorry. I wish it were otherwise, believe me.

12. If everyone was like you, I'd bet my house on it.

Everyone's not.

Our senators, and others, are battling to defeat this nomination with all the power the people, in our wisdom, cared to give them. They're not totally without weapons, though, and are deploying them according to their strategy. That includes trying to motivate the population to resist.

Seems the least those who don't have that in them could do would be to go barhop, play video games, or whatever until this is settled by others one way or the other.

18. Just burns me....I wonder what they have on them?

Obviously it is one of two:

They have been promised a nice chunk of pork for their districts,

Or the GOP/Putin has some kompromat on them they are threatened with.

or a combination of the two.


But...the DNC in all its wisdom, continues with funding and fighting for the blue dogs over actual FDR Democrat primary contenders....because....er....at least those two voters were OURS and not theirs!, so you know......er.....some of us were on the winning vote side?...I guess?

[SHRED]

4. Not sure what's so funny?

[LandOfHopeAndDreams]

10. Trying To Reason And Explain Perjury To Repubs

That is what is funny. In case you haven't noticed yet, THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Party over everything else.

[humbled_opinion]

21. Not so fast

Peel off 2 repubs and tell every Red State Dem Senator that a vote to support him will end with them guaranteed to lose their seat in Nov.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. This is not going away, not if he's defeated, not if he's confirmed

Perjurer at the Supreme Court will not be forgotten or swept under the rug. There would be no greater way to undermine the rule of law, or citizens' compliance with it, or to undermine the authority of the Court.

11. Whatever Happened To Clarence Thomas?

Those lifetime appointments work out quite well.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Red-handed, I tell ya. Red-handed

in a different political time. This will not go under the rug forever.

[First Speaker]

19. That was then, this is now...and it's possible we're reaching a breaking point...

...in which all the lies, the endless lies and perjury, simply reach a critical mass and the "liberals"--by which I mean anyone who believes in liberal democracy, not necessarily Dems--simply quit recognizing the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. What happens then, I don't know. But the increasing polarization of the country, and the sheer gangsterism of the GOP and the "conservative" movement, reminds me more and more of the 1850s...

[trof]

7. OK, I'll get right on it.

[BlueJac]

8. No Shit Shred...

he is a law breaker, but that surprise anyone? Sessions lies to Congress...nothing happens.

[dlk]

13. Why Would Anyone Think Having a Perjurer on SCOTUS is a Good Idea?

Kavanaugh Should not only be impeached from the Appeals Court, he should be disbarred & prosecuted. Some time behind bars might do him some actual good. His actions make a mockery of our justice system despite the glowing recommendations from his elitist peers. Only the criminals in the GOP would ever attempt to put someone so seriously tainted on the bench.

15. Here is co tact I do to call the Senate.

The DC Offices operator for all numbers is [phone].
There is more info to call the 4 Dem "fence sitters" and the 4 GOP "possibles". The contact info for their local offices is also in the thread thanks to DUers who give a damn! Call more if you can.

RESISTANCE WORKS...look at the ADA efforts. CALL and keep calling...JUST DO IT!

*You don't have to be a constituent, but if they ask this is what you can do. I have done it literally hundreds of times and others on this site have as well. Google "Zillow Homes for Sale, so and so city, so and so state" it takes THREE min. Make the call with a cell phone since area codes do not matter. Calling takes 2 min...that is 5 only min to call ANY senator. PLEASE JOIN DEMS WHO CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
Here is contact info.

16. Conservatives had Bill Clinton summarily disbarred for lying to Ken Starr.

After spending $60M on a conservative witch hunt to corner the president into lying about something that was sexually embarrassing. That investigation began in January, 1994 and lasted until March, 2002.

Money well spent and punishment that wasn't harsh enough if you ask any Russpublican conservatard. However, I don't believe I've ever heard any conservative who's had any problem with the verbal lying diarrhea coming from tRump's mouth. That's okay in their minds.

[duforsure]

17. He fits right in with the KGOP

He's a fraud and corrupt, and a liar , and his past will be exposed, and the KGOP now know it too. The KGOP will really be screwed if they allow him onto the bench now.

20. A judge with no regard for the truth.

Or the rule of law. I can hear our foundations crumble when this happens.

Shameful.
