    Kavanaugh will be assigned to over see the off shore oil drilling in Bandon Oregon.

    Dog, you have a lot of nonsensical arguments and you don't listen to common sense.

    THAT is Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    Except maybe perjury. If the FBI investigation finds compelling evidence that he lied under oath, I wonder if he will actually be charged with a crime and tried, or if losing the nomination will be considered sufficient punishment.

    Dun no! A pardon wipes it clean anyway.

    So, breaking the law only matters when it's someone on the other side of the aisle. Nice. So much for the rule of law.

    Actually, in my view, a couple of those Senators running their mouth off, got off easy. Booker and Blumenthal actually deserved a punch in the mouth for their part.

    This isn't about someone deserving to be punched, it's about breaking the law. Of course, we don't know what will be in the FBI's report, or even what they are actually investigating, which is why I asked it as a question: if there is compelling evidence in the report that Kavanaugh lied under oath, should he be charged with, and tried for, committing perjury? If not, why not?

    He's not qualified. You only think that because Republicans said it. He's a partisan hack who should've never been awarded his current job key alone the SCOTUS.

    He lied in his 2006 confirmation hearing too!

    He's never been fit.

    This is pretty interesting - it suggests that the previous background checks on Kavanaugh DID turn up something about either sex abuse or drinking.

    aww, so you condone the ability for the president to pardon anyone regardless of the circumstances? Sounds like an ability to abuse the power. Oh wait, he already did this with the crooked sheriff from Arizona. He really deserved a pardon right?

    I said it because he's been a Circuit Court judge on what is colloquially called the "second highest court in the country" for over a decade, and when he's had his decision appealed to the SC he's got a better record than Dame's FT%. (13/14)
    The American Bar Association called him "well-qualified". He's qualified enough that he's been teaching law at Harvard for a decade after being hired by Elena Kagan, who knows a bit about the law. Don't take my word for it:
    Other political analysts have said similar things.
    Then again, (D) senators, including Durbin, torpedoed Estrada's placement (also, truth be told, confirmed as "well-qualified" by the ABA and later by Justice Kagan) because he was a conservative Latino that D's would probably vote for. Kavanaugh is nothing new in the (D) bag of tricks.

    We can discuss topics all day long, but your projection of how I think what I think is consistently wrong.

    You certainly do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    You literally think facts can be made up? That's not possible because a fact is just that...

    No, I got something wrong. There's a difference.

    There's also a difference between you and I. I'll admit when I'm wrong.

    So the FBI interviewed her, and Kavanaugh lied about WHEN he knew. There are texts confirming he knew BEFORE the date testified to. He lied about THAT in his hearing too. Now, back to you.

    Why lie about it at all?

    I don't know how you could have gotten that wrong. There was literally nothing out there that came to that conclusion.

    I'll wait to see these texts and the context. Like you, the Media often invents things like this and jumps to conclusions.

    Deflect much? Answer the question! Why did he lie about when he knew??

    He lied about when he knew in the hearing... WHY?

    First, the ABA called for the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh, second,
    Nixon was apparently "qualified" to be the president. How'd that work out for the country?

    Like I said, I haven't seen these texts. They haven't been published. Its an NBC Report that didn't print anything out other than they claim to exist. I'll see when the information is all out and make an informed decision.

    I know its a new concept for you.
