    Wrong.

    The percentage of minority candidates that get elected far outweighs the percentage of Caucasian Male candidates that get elected.

    The same biased leanings have also existed in all Federal Employment opportunities and most college admissions opportunities since the racist and sexist Affirmative Action Program was implemented decades ago.

    Oh, ok.

    Assuming that's a true statement, I'd guess that a big reason why is that most races are one white male vs. another, so one of them has to lose.

    I don't see the connection myself. You think the federal government mandates how voters vote? Is that what you think?

    Irony: A judicial ethics complaint will be filed against Kavanaugh Monday. The judge who will oversee the complaint is Merrick Garland.

    More childish Dem obstruction wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.

    Garland, of course, will have to immediately recuse himself.

    Both Cory Booker and Kamala Harris have been publicly exposed for blatantly lying about Judge Kavanaugh in their grandstanding attacks in the hearings. Anyone watching these hearings can only cringe as they watch the Dems step up one by one and commit political suicide with childish antics and obvious obstruction of the hearings.

    Booker is also likely facing an ethics complaint for his antics.

    Apparently not, as a private citizen cannot file one legally.

    They can ask the DOJ to file one, but have no basis to do so.

    Desperate fake news. The confirmation is imminent.

    I don't know. What do you have in your hand? No, the other hand. Open both hands at once.

    That is likely true. Corruption doesn't dissuade Republicans.

    Imminent? So when is this going to happen seeing as you think you have all the answers. Monday? Tuesday? Next week?

    and what if Kavanaugh is caught lying? Should he still be confirmed?

    I agree with that, but it doe's'nt dissuade any party. Wherever there is politics you will find corruption if you look hard enough.

    Well, if when corruption is uncovered, the response of voters is to shrug and say all politics is corrupt, that paves the way for more of the same. Get pissed and vote the corrupt, and the enablers of the corrupt, out of office, that's the only way.

    So what do you call it when the Republicans sat on Merrick Garland’s nomination for a year??? I eagerly await your anticipated rationalization.....because how can it be called anything but obstruction? Though I’m sure you’ll find a way........
