    Including the Supreme Court. It should not be a lifetime nomination. I say 10 years max, no second term.

    We find ourselves in a shitty situation. Garland should have been comfirmed. As it stands the republicans used delay tactics for a year to stop it from happening. Perhaps, it is too close to the elections to do this. Perhaps not. If Kavanaugh is guilty he should be stripped of his judgehood, not be allowed to join the supreme court. It will be very hard to prove him guilty. It will be her word vs his. The only witness won't testify. Could he be forced? Maybe? Would he still refuse to say much besides I don't recall? Probably. If Kavanaugh is somehow innocent, (of course he is going to deny such accusations) let him through. It sucks donkey balls in alaska but its the law. That said if this gets pushed to midterms, there is a blue wave, and a liberal judge gets through, then good. Because there should be +1 in the SC now anyway. Also, this shows us the importance of term limits. Not only in congress or senate, but in the supreme court. No one should get a government position for life in this country.

    I couldn't agree more CC!
    They should come up with a way to keep the amount of Justices even?
    They too should have term limits...No gov job should be for life.

    How can he be guilty? There is no trial. There isn't even a charge filed.

    Not the same thing.
    They can withhold consent as well as give it.

    When the numbers are so close and all it takes is a couple of independents and a maybe a moderate republican or 2 to vote no, yes they can

    Let her have her hearing next week. Let Kavanaugh defend himself. Then the vote will take place. It will happen before the elections so don't get your panties in a bunch.

    Just listened to a long winded explanation of what is happening by Judith Miller.

    Kavanaugh is not presumed innocent since this is not a court of law. This is a confirmation and therefore he must prove himself innocent to be worthy of a life time appointment. Lord help us!

    I suppose what was not said, is the most important, Republican appointments need not apply.

    Didn't work so well with Gorsuch. The Dems don't really have a prayer.
