    Well, my post history has been pretty clear on my Authoritarian view on politics. While I denounce WW2, I do believe the Fascists had it right.

    Yeah, so what. He's Rightist Dork among Rightist Dorks on the SC!

    You forget that the Rightist Dorks on the SC stonewalled Obama's replacement proposed for the SC. I suppose you think that too was the God Given right to do so.

    PS: extra-constitutional, me arse!

    Democratically the confirmation should be smooth and agreed by the entire American people,
    but that didn't happen, there's a very big question unanswered about his dignity as an associate judge.
    The electorate is still intact no need for further alarms.

    Calling Kavanaugh's APPOINTMENT an ELECTION kills any credibility you had. He was not elected and the SCOTUS is not supposed to be political. If congress did its job the SCOTUS would not be political.

    There was a Senate vote that officiated his position as SC-judge.

    I call that an "election". Call it what you may.

    People like you always scrummage in the nitty-gritty and ignore the BigPicture, which is why the US is in such deep, deep sneakers as a Functional Democracy.

    So understand THIS BIG PICTURE:
    *The EC is a sham because it manipulates the popular-vote for the electoral-purpose of winning. (First past the post gets all the votes? What sort of malarkey is that?)
    *Gerrymandering is a bogus manipulation of voting districts to favor political objectives and should be done away with. But the Replicants have managed to pack-the-SC, which is why it is unwilling to declare illegal a device that is clearly illegitimate in both nature and purpose.


    But, I doubt seriously you are able to comprehend the substance of what is written above ...

    What you are talking about is advise and consent. A President can make a recess appointment which does not require a Senate to confirm. You are confused aboit how the government works.

    "This Space" is not a dump for the hair-brained ideas of liberal children, who have neither the capacity to lead or the good sense to follow those who can.
    Our system IS working as it is supposed to work, and protecting the stability of the judiciary as it designed to do. The fact that people armed with big mouths, rude attitudes, ugly minds and no moral character at all failed to overturn that process does not question the legitimacy of our system, it confirms it.

    OF COURSE those who don't get their way will claim everything is foul- they think like spoiled brat children think; that you throw a tantrum to get your way; bully and misbehave until someone pays you to shut up. Reason, fact, right and wrong have nothing to do with it. They lack the ability to comprehend the role of those things.
    If they had the mentality of mature adults, this circus would never have happened in the first place.

    So you think the cost of Kavanaugh is about who Trump admires. Well then.....you should know that I have this bridge I am selling. Its a deal made for leftists. Which means includes savings and a coupon.

    They were both life long RINOs (Republican in name only), but they both long ago politically allied themselves with the Left.

    The true cost of the Kavanaugh reputation rape by crazy hypno-therapy regression Ford and her Dem Party leadership handlers is that the politically stupid and insanely radicalized Left managed to energize the nation's conservative base for the upcoming mid-term elections. Ooops!

    The cost of Kavanaugh's victory?


    That cost is.....People are innocent until proven guilty. You know.....what would be known as, The Right thing to be about.


    Not the left's version of Believe the Victim movement.

    The cost of the Kavanaugh story is the total lack of respect for democrats in Congress.

    LOL

    The Dictatorship was avoided. The Constitution prevailed. I can understand why some people are upset about that, especially the ubber socialists at The Guardian.

    American presidents tend to envy dictators given they are free of political encumbrances. IIRC it was George W. Bush who mused about how much easier it would be to lead a dictatorship.

    Another cost.....they woke up not only Republican women. But women who are Mothers.


    Women to Crazed Feminists: We Will Fight You to Defend Our Men.....


    Fallout from the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the now-debunked allegations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford has expanded the divide not only between Republicans and Democrats, but among women -- the very group Democrats hoped to motivate for this year’s midterms.


    As I’ve covered the hearings and the circus surrounding them, I’ve heard a constant refrain -- conservative women are furious about the false allegations leveled against Kavanaugh. They resent the feminist call to believe the woman and thereby assume the man’s guilt simply because he is a member of the male collective.


    Feminists have made a mistake assuming that they speak for all women. They don’t.


    Many of us are mothers. We have sons whom we love and would defend to our last drop of blood.


    We have husbands, fathers, brothers, and male friends we hold in high esteem.....snip~

    Its all backfiring on the Demos and their Activists. All going into the Election. The Demos continue to drop in their Generic Poll for the House.

    Every president has applied a political litmus test to the judges they nominated. At least since Abortion became legal. Republican presidents trying to appoint anti abortion judges, Democrats pro abortion judges. Same goes for conservative vs. liberal political slants. To think politics didn't enter into whom any president nominated until Kavanaugh is naive. Even FDR tried to stack the SCOTUS way back when.

    The huge difference between yesteryear and today is until ex-senate majority Reid used the nuclear option setting the precedence for future nominations, it took 60 votes for cloture. Until Reid most presidents needs a few votes from the opposing party to get their nominee confirmed. That today is no longer the case. That brought moderation and saner nominees. With Reid setting the precedence, now any president as long as his party controls the senate also, can nominate and get approved any wacko far extremist left or right judge to the SCOTUS. Moderation and sanity has been removed.

    Prior to Reid and his first use of the nuclear option, someone like Kavanaugh wouldn't have come close to being confirmed. It's Reid's action that lead to Kavanaugh as without him doing what he did, Kavanaugh wouldn't have happened and would be just a pipe dream or someone no one would have ever heard of. The nomination and confirmation of Kavanaugh is as much Reid's as it is Trump's. It's Reid's actions that lead to Kavanaugh. Just the first in a long line of unintended consequences caused by Reid or that Reid set into motion.

    Written with such breathless certainty. This reads eerily like a declaration. I find it interesting that our liberal posters, like the above, have gone from obsequious smug to saber rattling revolutionaries in just a weekend. Just to be clear here, this seems to put the above poster on the record.

    Besides dems, you've embarrassed yourself, too. It really isn't rational to think unfounded accusations are all it takes, while ignoring Kavanaugh's 30 years of perfect judicial service.

    If we all allowed unfounded accusations to rule our lives, THAT'S WHEN the country is ruled like a dictatorship.

    Oh, please. CorrObama apologized to all dictators for the US, but he had more "flexibility" for Putin and he loved the Ayatollah, to name 2.
    They may have called themselves Republicans, but we all know they are really Democrats. Nothing Republican about either.
