Then when he answers it, circle back and point out that if he can answer one hypothetical he can answer as to whether or not the pResident has to respond to a subpoena. Don’t let him get away with this shit.

For high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States. Democrats running for the Senate and defending their seats were given a GIFT to use against Senate Republicans . Republicans support a nominee who would rule to protect a criminal president from justice, even with solid evidence against him.

Use this gift, Democrats!

His 9-11 excuse is complete bullshit. If our government can’t walk and chew gum at the same time we’re fucked anyway. Dump does not read anything or direct any kind of rationale response to anything that Mattis actually pays attention to.

By president Obama. They have broken their own rules. Kavanaugh did NOT answer direct question only requiring a yes or no response. The republicans are hiding thousand and thousand of pages of his opinions. This is not a transparent process and republicans make it up as they go to cheat their way into whatever they want. They are lawless and without morals. THOSE ARE FACTS.

There was no subpoena. That was the fact. Everything you said has nothing to do with what I was posted no matter how MUCH YOU SHOUT.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
-- Leonard Cohen


These truly are dark and dangerous times.

Anyone who refuses to answer questions regarding their beliefs on Constitutional questions should not be allowed to serve on the Supreme Court. The idea that the opposition will not vote for you is not a good enough reason to refuse to answer questions.
