Just Found Out That If Kav Is Confirmed The Dems Can Impeach Him and Remove Him From The Bench

[friendly fred]

I think the whole thing will backfire on the Democrats like it did on Clarence Thomas. Had he not been so mistreated by the liberals, he might have moved left during his term on the court. Now, he gets revenge everyday against the assholes who shit all over him.

Might have the same affect on Kavanaugh. Several Republican appointments over the years turned out to be liberals, so it is no slam dunk that anyone they put on the bench will roll back all the liberal programs the court has approved.

So the message to Democrats here is: Take your chances, maybe he’ll change his philosophy? Trust us?

You and the dims have said almost nothing about the guy's judicial "philosophy". What do you even know about it, let alone find reason to object to? Talking about the finer points of the law and the Constitution is hard. Smearing and character assassination are easier, more fun and generate better TV ratings.

Just for the record, SCOTUS justices are sworn to follow the Constitution, not whatever the progressive agenda of the day happens to be.

That point seems to be lost on most government officials who have to take the oath

This is what happens when your political philosophy is......"party first, country second".

And what gets ME, is name me ANY OTHER INSTANCE in which an accuser, gets to dictate to a court, HOW THE INVESTIGATION or testimony will be given???

Start with Ruth Ginsburg. Sleeping in court shows incompetence. Add to that both her and Kagen FAILED to recuse themselves from the gay marriage debate that made it legal, because BOTH have precided over gay marriages..

Nor have they given even 1/100th the air time to the ACTUAL EVIDENCE back uped claims of domestic violence towards that A&&HAT, Keith Ellison..

lets see... you do realize that the democrats bottled up Bush 41 & Bush 42 nominees during an election year. tit for tat as you will since the dems used the Biden rule against a republicans. Republicans returned the favor with merick garland. Turnabout is fair play.


there are consequence for that and the democrats are infamously shortsighted on the consequences of their acts.

sleeping in court is not incompetence. (not defending ginsburg) give her a break she's 85.


ginsburg & kagan should definitely should have recused themselves from the gay marriage fiasco. who is the authority to tell them they need to recuse themselves? there isn't one. usually, its the lawyers that ask nicely about it. therein lies a flaw in the judicial system. there are no real authority to enforce recusal and there are no back up/reserve judges to be had in case of recusal, death, resignation and impeachment.

IF her age is causing her to sleep during court hearings, how is that NOT incompetence?

Hmmm... maybe we should expand the 25th Amendment so it applies to SCOTUS justices?

falling asleep is not incompetence.



Incompetence are things you repeatedly make mistakes, snafus on a regular basis causing problems for everyone. you're told do certain things but you go off and do something else and that work doesn't get done. that's incompetence.

dilbert, you're trying to split hairs. If you fall asleep on the job, you can't perform. If you can't perform, you are by definition incompetent.

but don't insult my intelligence with this nonsense. show up Monday, or get lost. fuck you for the bullshit story that is 36 years old.


thinking like a Democratic Strategist: here is one way to save this off-the-rails story, that is embarrassing the Democratic party. act like you will not testify, then show up secretly and unannounced Monday morning.. the reporters will flock to you, when you tell them "this is too important for women and the country, I couldn't sleep, I have to testify today"! catch the Committee off-guard, and steer the press in your favor. ignore this advice at your peril

I believe Congress has agreed to "guarantee her safety" so I would assume Federal Agents (FBI?) have to go out to California to get her. So the Feds would know. If she just showed up then her "safety guarantee" would just be another "blow smoke up your ass" claim.

falling asleep on the job is a different behavior issue, not necessarily related to incompetency. (there are some issues that may arise out of that).


In this case, it depends on the type of job you're doing.

I have to agree with lustylad on this one dilbert. She's a judge. If she's consistently sleeping during hearings, deliberations, etc then she's incompetent. If a McDonald's employee is sleeping on the job then it's just fraud.
