Final Senate Vote on Judge Kavanaugh Underway (Saturday 3:30PM EST) [Update: Confirmed] (Read OP)
- Thread starter Etrian Oddity
- Start date
Useful idiots parroting Russian bot propaganda are a better way to achieve that.
Owning arms doesn't actually make you safer and it exacerbates different problems.
Okay so, Kavanaugh is our new scotus judge? Anyone know how he has ruled? From Collin's speech it seemed like he has been an okay judge.
It's a disgrace that he was elected to the court as a rapist, but now that it's done we need to start preparing for how he might vote on things.

And yet you still felt the need to slam him and claim he was bought. Or would you just prefer he was replaced with a Republican since he's not a super progressive liberal in West Virginia?
Didn't more Bernie voters support Hillary in the general election than Hillary voters supported Obama in the general election. I've been very clear that people who didn't vote are a major reason this happened. But let's be real: we wouldn't be having this conversation if Hillary ran a decent campaign instead of running one of the most condescending and downright lazy campaigns in modern history. She's not a hero or a victim. She's a trash candidate who never won a single contested political campaign in her life, was politically elevated (NY senate seat, for starters) solely due to her husband, and took victory for granted while ignoring the warnings from politicians who actually won things (Bill Clinton, Obama). And speaking of Obama, for all the people crying about Bernie fans...let us not forget she ran a far uglier, far more pathetic campaign against Obama than Bernie did against her. Yet Obama still won.
There is never any personal responsibility for her. Everything is other people's fault. Getting outworked by an obese old man is on her, period.

It's safe to assume that he'll vote straight down the party line.
No it didn't, it was an assertion backed by nothing. The fact that you happen to agree with your own assertion doesn't mean you made an argument for it.
You literally vjust made a claim, that's it. You said A is true, he basically said A is not true in a rude way. That was the sum total of the exchange.
In the event Roe v Wads is overturned ( and it's not certain this will happen at all with this new Court) it would only be banned in State's that write a law explicitly outlawing it. Which would probably be a large number of Red states. Those that don't will remain legal. Roe v Wade was made to overturn/thwart laws banning it.
He tried to deny an abortion to an undocumented woman. He doesn't believe that a President can be indicted or even subpoenaed while in office. He thinks that a President can have full discretion over the firing of special counsel/prosecutors without repercussion. He has a general hostile attitude toward Roe vs Wade. He openly threatened Democratic Senators during his hearing. He spouted conspiracy theories in the same hearing.
He is a disaster.
Also forgets that Roe v Wade only prevented states from outlawing abortion. If its overturned it'll be up to the individual states to actually outlaw it.
Voting is necessary, but if you think this country gets fixed by people caring for maybe a couple of hours on one day per year, you have no clue how big a mess we're in.
It's going to take a massive coordinated effort by organizers, activists, and engaged citizens to start setting things right.

Too bad you need 67 votes in the senate to be removed through impeachment. He's literally already running for 2020.
I think that 11 states still have anti-abortion laws in the books
He's a partisan, republican operative who said as much when he was ranting and raving in the Senate. We know exactly how he is going to vote, and it's probably going to undo progressive policies that will set this nation back for generations.
Might set the record for most justices impeached at one time too.
This should be repeated a million times, the stupid inner fighting from the left needs to stop or else things will just be the same.
Futhermore, my wife and all of her family are white and none of them wanted this, please stop generalising blame on white americans.
IIRC someone looked at the data and it's about the same cause they're within the margin of error of each other w/ the voters, it's a bad claim to make based off only one poll for each cycle.
You're on the internet, Duke. The time it took you to post this question you could have instead googled his judicial history. You should, at the very least, not be forming opinions of him based off of Susan Collins.

Not voting democrat is extremely stupid. That's just an indirect republican vote, regardless of whatever justification you come up for it.
they'll react similar to the 2016 election.. they'll step out of the bubble and wonder how they got it so so wrong and what they need to do next time to get it right.
He is partisan. He will rule in favor of republicans or what they expect of him.
A co-worker and I were talking about that. Might even be more.
*But if they are black, brown or poor, we won't give a shit about them once they come out.
Okay, we lost this round. And we got hit pretty hard. We can bitch and cry and point fingers, or we can stand up, use our voices, and fight. Fortunately, there's an event coming up November 6th that will allow us to do just that.
It's not over yet.

I think you think I'm the original person. I replied to someone else's conversation. I never shit on anyone. Have fun living in Gilead. I'm from a sane country.
Considering we are in the darkest timeline, yeah he's gonna get a third pick.
Exactly. It won't be easy, but the first step to real change is just around the corner.
User gets a warning but if any other race was used in this sentence it would have been a permaban?
Ok.
Stuck with this fuckface for decades.
Great. Thanks Rs. Only the best most qualified people will do.

Choosing a candidate who was actively being investigated by the FBI and who couldn't be arsed to campaign in the Rust Belt states also turned out to be extremely stupid.
Disclaimer: I voted for Clinton as did the overwhelming majority of Sanders supporters.

Breyer's 5 years younger than RBG. It's absolutely possible, and in hellworld the worst option usually ends up the option that happens
No, they can be impeached similar to a president. As late as I think the 70s it about happened, but the dude ended up resigning to save himself and the court the shame of it.
Voooooooooote. Vote vote vote.
This doesn't apply to only this November or only state/federal elections. Get off your ass and vote, and volunteer, and tell others to vote, and get others to vote.
Yall have a lot of work to do and are just waking up to the importance of elections. 2016 is over -- you have bigger fish to fry now.
Even kids cartoons and dragon ball understand that you won't ever have perfect teammates so get tf over it, band together and VOTE. Unless you like the current situation.
If you're deflated, take some time to heal up, but don't stay down forever. Gotta get up and keep going. And definitely don't stream defeatism because it literally helps nothing. Just take your time and when you're ready, vote. From now on.
There's more of the good than there are of the bad. Just have to activate them all and not be lazy about it. That corny ass ad with the old people is corny, but it's on the money.
