The Independent State Legislature Doctrine

[jhu72]

Kavanaugh really blew it just before the break. When asked if he would like an independent investigation, his response was not "YES", it was "whatever the committee want's to do". This is really really weak sauce if you are so concerned about your reputation, etc. He is always the politician! His side doesn't want an independent investigation, so he is not going to cross his side.

In light of this, his testimony rings totally hollow! Great act!

KAVANAUGH IS AN ACT!!

He's really having trouble with Durbin. An investigation means Mark Judge.

Going down the partisan drain now.

Presumably the base likes Kav and the non-base does not.

So the question is...how is this playing with Corker, Flake, Collins, Murkowski?

[ggait]

Hard for me to believe is a very polite way of saying he's full of turd and is lying.
I never blacked out....an outright lie.

Just curious. You ever blacked out from drinking too much?

[seacoaster]

Pretty ragged and truculent now. Not sure how it plays.

I think Corker is a Yes. Graham may be the single most politically expedient person I have ever seen.

Interesting that Mike Judge has addiction issues....thus making the only other person not very credible.

Why did Feinstein not ask him (BK) about it when they met 1v1 in her office then sit on it. Seems Durbin should have been asking her that question and not BK.

Looks like the AZ lady lawyer is done for the day.

The GOP senators are now talking for themselves since this is now all just Cracker Barrel vs. Whole Foods.

And Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV), a Holton-Arms alumna.

"I don't mean to interrupt, but Mark Judge has provided sworn testimony in this." Subject to cross? Not so much.

Prepare to wonder about this question as each D gets the mic? I would imagine each D was made aware many, many weeks ago about the accusation made by Ford.

What do folks think about Kavanaugh asking the Senators questions: "Do you like a beer Senator?"

What little I have seen proves the point of something I learned many years ago. It takes a long time to build something, but it takes a very short time to tear it down, no matter how strongly built it was. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, but then they wouldn't be very good politicians if they had consciences, would they.

She was about as useful as udders on a bull.

At the end of the day, all the republicans have got is their charge - "its all just a dirty trick on the part of the democrats". There is plenty of information that the FBI could come up with -

1) a much clearer picture of Kavanaugh's relationship with booze and drugs
2) Mark Judge would be seriously questioned
3) they could possibly identify the location of the alleged Ford assault
4) they could possibly identify the date of the alleged Ford assault
5) they could possibly identify the unknown individual at the alleged Ford assault
6) they would put more flesh on the bones of the other three allegations -- enough perhaps to judge their reality

this is my short list.

Those who want to see the truth come out and "liberal liars and other scum" prosecuted -- the FBI investigation is the way to make it happen.

Boofing is now farting and ralphing is because he had a weak stomach. But please, Brett, keep crying and yelling at us.

[DMac]

By the same token, frman I'd bet you also learned there are consequences for your actions.

Here you go TLD: boofing
The act of inserting drugs into the anus for a longer trip. Most often occurs at Disco Biscuits shows by spun-out kids on ketamine.

Doesn't everyone drink?

[DMac]

Sounds to me as if ol' Brett chose the wrong poison, should've hung out with the pot heads. Wouldn't have been blacking out and acting like an aggressive maniac. Just sayin'.
