Kavanaugh calls confirmation process a 'national disgrace'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh blasted the Senate’s confirmation process as "a national disgrace" in an emotional opening statement Thursday defending himself from allegations of sexual assault.

Kavanaugh told senators on the Judiciary Committee in his fiery opening address that the Senate’s constitutional role of “advice and consent” had been twisted into “search and destroy.”

“Since my nomination in July, there has been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything to block my confirmation,” he said.

Kavanaugh noted that Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) vowed to fight his nomination with “with everything I’ve got.”

He also singled out Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, for saying that colleagues who don’t oppose Kavanaugh are “complicit in the evil.”

1. The nation WAS disgraced by what happened in the hearing today...

2. It WAS a disgrace.

It was a disgrace that a Supreme Court nominee, accused of improper conduct, refused to answer so many questions AND got so belligerent. If anyone let it get to this point, it was Kavanaugh.

3. why did repugs make it so?

Where are the hidden documents?
Why are so many documents redacted or "committee only"?
Where is the investigation?
Why the artificial deadline?
Why the artificial time constraints on Senators?
What are they hiding?

4. Merrick Garland agrees.

Fuck you Brett. Class of '83 sucks.

5. I agree. But, not for the same reason he does.

The fact that this perverted liar has even been considered for this job, let alone nominated for it is a complete and utter disgrace.

6. Rapist Kavanaugh is a national disgrace.

7. Yes it IS a disgrace!

1. That ANYONE would consider nominating this ass-hat for ANY position that requires sane, rational judgment in a court proceeding.
2. That the person who DID nominate him has ANY voice in deciding who is worthy of making a sane, rational judgment in a court proceeding.

YES - IQ45 and Kavanaugh are a NATIONAL DISGRACE and we must begin the "cleanup in ALL AISLES!" come November!

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!
