Trump announces Brett Kavanaugh as his 2nd SCOTUS nominee.

[AZGrizFan]

I don't understand the hysteria on either side of the aisle on these newly released e-mails. On the racial profiling e-mail, the then Kavanaugh (back in 2001) seems to be on the side of race-neutral profiling. Is that a bad thing? And then on the abortion one, he seems to be making an editorial correction by saying that not all legal scholars believe in the settled nature of Roe v Wade (not interjecting his own view on the case, just that there isn't unanimity by "all" legal scholars on this).

I understand that politicians need and want drama, but my two questions are 1) why were any of these e-mails listed as committee confidential - there doesn't appear to be anything controversial in them and 2) why were the Dems, especially Booker, so incensed to get these seemingly innocuous e-mails out in the open? Are details so unimportant anymore and it's just about the emotion?

Da!

Totally agree with both of these. I also miss Native, Captain, 86hen, Hank Scorpio, Brock Landers, GATW, and WTAG.

Trip, '88 is spot on and you're making way more solid and intriguing points in this thread than you are being given credit for. Christ, you're approaching a Kap level of quality triggering.

Seriously though, I enjoy reading your posts. Keep it up.

I need to refine how I'm arguing my beliefs though, and the fundamental reasons behind them.

Don't worry 93 - I'm not going through any phase. I'll probably be more progressive and liberal in the future.

An old saying

If you are young and a conservative you have no heart.
If you are old and liberal you have no brain.

In the early 70s I worked on the Frank Church campaign for President. Don’t get more lib than him

So much fail on the left. We have the craziest, most egotistical, unstable president in my lifetime, yet it's the left that is coming off looking even worse.

I can't wait for the Dem primary season

Its going to make the 2016 GOP field look like a small group of elder statesmen

And then do away with confirmation hearings

Or the cameras in them

Great timing: Corey Bookers says he will release confidential Congressional information on Kavanaugh to the general public. Democrats: bringing you the nuclear option and violating security procedures for political gain at any cost.

Clear the galleys- don't let random members of the public in. Didn't see yesterday's shitshow, but only the 1st hour or 2 of Wed. Every minute some dipshit libtard would interrupt the process with the screeching until they were escorted out by the Capital police.

Those people aren't just random folks off the street. They have tickets from their Senators who intended for them to do exactly what they were doing.

Uh. Link? The hearings are open to the public. They're sitting in the area reserved for the public.

I'm not going to post a link. Instead, I'm going to ask you to use your brain

and remind you that I've been involved in the confirmation process for asst secretaries in the Rayburn - hearings that attract heavy interest are not just "walk in"

You can't just show up - seating is limited. Those people got in because they got passes

Let's not go down that "foreign service is unionized" path again, K?
