    I agree the pardons were expected, not sure what the judge said is grounds for impeachment, I guess it depends on his juridictional seat and their rules.

    Because you implied the judges position was purely partisan. I was pointing out that judges are capable of independence when ruling.

    At least TWO OF THEM CONFESSED TO THEIR CRIMES so there was no doubt about their guilt.

    Not at all. Your opinion of government aside. I agree with the judge, which is why I wrote he was correct. That doesn't make me woke, and I doubt it makes the judge woke either.

    That your job has certain requirements seems irrelevant to me.

    That judge should be removed from office for numerous reasons including partisan politics from the bench and for lying, since the President has not only pardoned Republicans. Any Republican has an absolute basis for a motion for recusal. The judge had no problem with Clinton and Obama pardoning cop killers, bombers and terrorists, did he?

    So, is Kavanaugh 'impartial' after he engaged in a petty way-below-scotus-standards rant about how the dems were out to get him during his hearings?

    But it's not, because that is why I replied and commented in the first place...

    I'm sure he has something in his position description that prohibits this type of outburst, as do most government employees.

    So, see, it's very relevant. It's the whole point of me being here...

    Nope. I'm on record saying that was a bad pick.

    He doesn't have the right temperament, IMO.

    It's been clear since early November, though, that McConnell is petrified of Trump, for some reason.

    Doesn't seem impartial to me:

    "“It’s not surprising that a criminal like Trump..."

    It's actually written into the Code of Conduct:

    "An independent and honorable judiciary is indispensable to justice in our society. A judge should maintain and enforce high standards of conduct and should personally observe those standards, so that the integrity and independence of the judiciary may be preserved."

    If he had said Obama was a criminal, and you were a black man on trial, would you feel comfortable with him presiding over your case? Be honest, now.

    For me that should certainly have been disqualifying.

    I hope that Donnie does commit a Trumpocity and pardons himself. It will be good to have the constitutionality of that adjudicated in a judicial review.

    That display of whining by Kavanaugh like a junior high school girl whose boyfriend dumped her is what solidified by belief that the date rapist was guilty as charged by that woman Ms. Ford.

    Why have you not applied the same standards to Barr who was supposed to be the AG of the country not Trump's personal lawyer?

    So when those Trump appointees laughed him out of court on the election, was that because they were liberals ?

    If you dont see the hypocrisy in your own post, your not looking.....

    You also seem to miss that Trump has had 58 indictments of his associates.. But dont let that bias anything ;)

    A Judge who was appointed by Bill Clinton. Where was this hump when Clinton pardoned murderous FALN Terrorists?

    Okay. But that's just speculation.

    Your point is well taken, but this is a unique president. If the black man's name was Nixon, my opinion would be the same.
