should be disqualifications for the Supreme Court.

Democrats should DEMAND a delay in these hearings until ALL documents have been read and studied before proceeding further.

the gop cowards know the voters won't/can't punish them. So they will confirm.

Then they will be shocked and outraged that he lied to them, but it will be too late.

a basis to impeach Kavanaugh when the Democrats regain at least one house of the congress. Two houses would be even better!

convict in the Senate. Maybe in 10-15 years when demographics overtake the Republican party, but not now, not while almost 80% of Republicans support that orange traitor infesting the White House. I fervently hope I'm wrong, though.

When the Dems have power again, we can change the number of justices on the SC - make it 13 justices instead of 9 and wipe these assholes out. It can be done so there’s no reason not to do it. I’m thinking it’s the only way...

The Thugs stole 2 SC seats because that’s what they do, we need to undo it. It’s our last hope, And it’s legal. Unlike the criminal Thugs who just go with what they’ve got. These MFers have to be stopped!

Then no impeachment/removal votes would be required. Though depending on when the perjury occurred and whether statute of limitations applies, that route may or may not be viable.

When the Democrats have control of Congress and the White House

It’s a radical move, but we would be cleaning up after a radical, discredited GOP criminal regime

We can’t remove Trump’s justices, but we can dilute their power

To expand the court. All it will take is control of all 3 branches (of course, the r's could simply beat us to it).

5-4 becomes 5-6. EZ, Peazy, get your trump-aid squeezie.

Now that you mention it I'm kind of shocked the cheatin' R's haven't done this already. I don't think it's a good idea regardless of who is in charge.

The fifth or sixth response was a gif of IT in a tank trying to run over HRC on a tricycle. So, yeah, that is all these assholes have: picking on HRC. You would think they would be tired of that. Even the most obsessive dog eventually gets tired of his new bone. It may take weeks or even months, but two years?!
