The Kavanaugh Confirmation Charade Thread

@SFLUFAN On second thought, is it a particularly impressive hustle given how fucking gullible the press is?

 

 

 

It isn't. The press barely does any real critical thinking here. They'll just regurgitate anything they're fed. They have this wavering fear of ever losing their access and refuse to call anyone out on the BS or straight up label someone a liar. Trump lies all the time and we still see most media outlets refusing to just straight up admit that much. Instead, they'll dance around it with wording like "Trump appears to have contradicted himself".

Any Democratic Senators who vote to confirm Kavanaugh should be disowned by the national party and booted from caucus. I know why red-state Dems want to vote for him and for other situations like this - they want to keep their position. But what is the point of the position if you don't use it to affect public policy in cases like this?

I get the "a Democrat who votes with you 80% of the time is better than a Republican who votes with you 0% of the time" argument, but not in the context of them installing a SCOTUS Justice who'll overturn the good 80% of their votes.

Flake is feeling the heat, especially after his cowardly performance in the elevator...but he’s gonna vote yes. He needs to look like he’s really deliberating because the GOP has looked very unserious in regards to any of the questions about Kavanaugh. It’s just a show.
