Poor Kavanaugh wants to run for SC judge

What part of the Constitution would be violated by giving Kavanaugh the same pass that the Democrats gave to Bill Clinton?

My prediction is that Kavanaugh's already history.

Trump selected Kavanaugh because his anti-Roe v Wade views are a payoff to the evengelicals to forget Trump's scandalous sexual romps in the past and because Kavanaugh believes that Presidents shouldn't have to be bothered with prosecutions while in office. However, the more emerges about the 80s frat boy in high school and college the more women will be energized to turn out and vote. Kavanaugh's reached the point that his confirmation might be worse for Trump than better.

Jeff Flake said he was concerned about Brett Kavanaugh after hearing the judge address members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in a “sharp and partisan” manner during his testimony last week.

“I was very troubled by the tone of the remarks,” Flake said Tuesday in a panel discussion along with Democratic Senator Chris Coons at the Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C.

“The initial defense that Judge Kavanaugh gave was something like I told my wife: ‘I hope that I sound that indignant if I was unjustly maligned,’” Flake added. “But then it went on, and the interaction with the members was sharp and partisan, and that concerns me."

The senator added that he wanted to give Kavanaugh “a little leeway because of what he has been through.”

Kavanaugh noted during his testimony Thursday that he and his family have been the subject of death threats and constant harassment since the allegations came to light. As a result of the ongoing controversy, he will not be teaching law at Harvard this winter.

“In these 10 long days, as was predictable, and as I predicted, my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed by vicious and false additional accusations,” Kavanaugh said in his opening statement.

But later on, he switched gears and raged against the Democrats for seizing on the allegations to postpone his ascension to the Supreme Court.

“This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons," Kavanaugh said.

He went on to call Democratic members of the committee an “embarrassment.” In one exchange, when asked if he ever drank alcohol to the point of blacking out, Kavanaugh responded: “I don’t know. Have you?”

“We just can’t have that on the court,” Flake said about Kavanaugh’s attacks on the senators. “We simply can’t.”

Flake persuaded the Republicans to agree to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation and ask the White House to initiate the FBI investigation. During Friday’s pivotal vote on whether to move Kavanaugh’s confirmation forward, Flake supported the nominee but demanded a probe be done before he votes on the Senate floor.

“We simply have to elevate people to leadership positions and elect people who see it differently and understand the value and purpose of the Supreme Court,” Flake said on Tuesday.

If Susan Collins is worried about the pressure from the right as a Republican, how did she get a 70% Lifetime approval rating from Planned Parenthood in the first place?

Collins, in particular, seems to have become the focus of the stop-Kavanaugh movement. ...

[Susan] Collins told The Wall Street Journal that she finds "the out-of-state voicemails being left on the answering machines of my state offices" to be "incredibly offensive."

"In one case – and we are going to turn this over to the police, but unfortunately, of course, the person didn’t leave a name or number – but they actually threatened to rape one of my young female staffers," Collins told the Journal.

One incensed voter left a voicemail for Collins, which her office shared with USA TODAY, in which he repeatedly screamed insults while wondering how Collins could accept Kavanaugh's statement that he considers Roe v. Wade to be "settled law" when he was "handpicked by the Federalist Society specifically to overturn" that decision.

"You will go down in history as the most naive person ever to be in Congress you (expletive), (expletive), feckless, naive woman!" the caller yelled.

"If you care at all about women's choice, vote no Kavanaugh. Don't be a dumb b---h," another male caller said.

A letter sent to Collins' office warned that if she votes to confirm Kavanaugh "EVERY waitress who serves you is going to spit in your food, and that's if you're lucky you (expletive)."

Kavanaugh is looking more and more like the type of person parents have nightmares about with their daughter. Getting harder and harder to see him making it.

It looks like Collins is probably a yes vote.

This is the problem... people outside the liberal bubble don't see it this way.
