Live: Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing

Philadelphia isn't the whole state. What they stated was untrue though.
Sorry I assumed everyone would get that I was being sarcastic to make fun of the other guy.
Is Grassley saying that the restricted documents could be harmful to Trump? As in, he might have tried to ascertain just how forcefully Kavanaugh would protect him from impeachment?
They're "sensitive" and "harmful" to the executive branch.

Oh boy. At dinner with the in-laws and good conversation suddenly turns into how McCain may not have been an actual hero and how Hilary may be involved in a pedophile ring. I wish we just move the hell on from Hilary.
Obviously, but do they have actual documentation that supports our widely held suspicions?
Hence the "hold your nose" part. They knew what they had to do. Now we have two young right-learners on the bench because swing states didn't get told they were pretty often enough.
I know we're all here at this moment in part because of the 2016 election, but let's end the back and forth on Clinton and focus on this hearing. Thank you.
- Cornyn says Dems are making a mob rule out of the hearing session
- Much later Grassley complains about being accused of holding a mob rule hearing, seemingly forgetting the accusation was from his own side directed towards dems
Christ
Yep, this is all theater. From the moment Kavanaugh was nominated, there was never any serious doubt that he would be confirmed.
"McCain is dead! Why do you still want to pretend the rules matter?"
No, it's just the general "executive privilege" defense, that the president needs to be able to keep certain things secret from the public record because revealing them would damage national security, foreign relations, etc.
If the Dems get enough control to impeach and remove Trump they also need to impeach and remove every appointment he had made, including his SCOTUS justices.
The Legislative branch needs to take back some power here.

They... can't force this to stop in any way? Pointing out how fucked up this entire process has been is what they can do, and hope that two Republicans find their sense of shame (lol).
Its incredible how much damage they have been able to do in such a short time
just awful
Cant bring myself to watch this last blow they deal before being ousted

Yup. Here's hoping enough people get fucked over Kavanaugh that they decide that maybe not voting is actually hazardous to their personal health as well as the health of our democracy.
Right. There should be nothing to hide, and no problem answering any question.
These hearings should be ceremonial in some aspect that the judiciary committee should be reiterating their role, and the role and importance of justices. You should just be able to read a standard statement that can be used for every single nomination, as an opening statement.
Grassley is doing a terrible job of this so far, and now he's bringing up Robert Bork, and op-eds from newspapers. This is bizarre.
What do you want them to do? This is how Congressional majorities work.
My guess is his hard lean on repealing Roe v Wade. There are a few GOP senators that would vote against it if Kavanaugh said flat out he wants to repeal abortion rights. His "correct" statements seemed to have swayed those needed to confirm him, even though everyone knows Kavanaugh would repeal it in a heart beat.
Yeah that makes sense. It's very troubling to me that republicans are acting like this is normal.
What do you want them to do, shoot kavanaugh? Poison a few republicans that the GOP no longer has a majority? Because realistically those are the only paths to stopping this sham, legal or otherwise.
This both sides crap rises out of posts like yours, and it's BS
Loool so dumb. I needed a laugh given how depressing this all is.
This is unreal. Feinstein dispensing with an opening statement to go directly to Roe V. Wade, where she admits she prosecuted women to prison for having abortions, and seeing the resulting horrendous statistics. Then goes on to establish that based on Kavanaugh's writings, he is willing to set aside precedent. Whew.
He was a part of the Bush administration when they decided on their torture policy. He lied about this under oath when he was confirmed for the Circuit Court in 2006. He's a partisan hack who is 100% going to do whatever he can to gut Roe. Oh, and he was suddenly able to pay off thousands and thousands of dollars for debt mysteriously before being nominated.
This is making me fucking sick.
What is the matter with you? Yeesh. Transparent as fuck trying to pin the blame for this atrocity on anyone but the monsters ramrodding this piece of shit through.
