How is someone who lied under oath being nominated

[malaise]

for a Supreme Court position.
This is absolute madness. These people have no decency, practice no ethics and are partisan hacks.
This nominee should be withdrawn. Lying under oath must be a no no for a judge.

1. Yepper, spot on......................

he should be IMPEACHED, and Maddow was talking about this tonight...................he has LIED.......................basically three times...........................

[malaise]

2. This is madness

Fucking farce.

8. Impeaching him is the easy part, especially if we retake the House,

convicting and removing him in the Senate is the problem, as it takes 67 Senators to vote for conviction.

I just don't see that happening any time in the future.

[turbinetree]

14. This lying hypocrite can be stopped and he can be Impeached....................

we can call these senators today and tomorrow, enough of this, his blatant lying and his contempt for we the people was exposed..........................

3. Yes! And so patently having been pre-screened

and pre-certified to be a solid, reliable, far-right, arch-conservative vote on the Court for any case.

4. The Republican party is a criminal mafia

They make their own rules.

9. TRUE

Looking forward to the future, When we control BOTH HOUSES!!!!!

5. Step 1: buddy up to Russia

Step 2: get a clown elected president
Step 3: get control over every branch of government
Step 4: do whatever the fuck you want

Rape, slaughter, eat babies, it doesn't matter now. IOKIYAR.

6. Lying is standard operating procedure for redumbliCONS

both under oath and not. Whether it is a so-called president or a nominee to the SCOTUS, lying is ingrained in their DNA. redumbliCONS just don't give a sh't about truth, specially when truth isn't truth.

7. He not only lied under oath for the SC, he lied under oath for the last two

positions on the bench he held. That makes 3 times he lied under oath..at a minimum. How many other times?

[Garrett78]

11. Yep. As Rachel said, he should be impeached from his current position. Not promoted.

10. The GOP has been ethically bankrupt since Eisenhower left office.

The vast majority of Republicans (be they Congress critters, in the media or members of the base) are, simply put, terrible people. Just terrible, terrible people.

12. Many years ago, my excellent high school US Government teacher, taught us that

the framers of the Constitution had wisely provided for freedom of speech and press and assembly plus the right to petition for redress of grievances for the same reason pressure cookers had safety or "blowout" valves.

Without the small hard rubber plug in the lid designed to pop out in response to very high pressure, pressure cookers could explode like bombs. Without the Constitutional "safety valves" mentioned above, our society may explode. But, something more is needed to prevent the disaster we can all see approaching.

We, the MAJORITY, are voicing our disagreement and displeasure, but NO ONE IN POWER IS LISTENING.

Our press, though late to awaken to the scope of the threat, is exposing the corruption, the hypocrisy and the insanity that has become a "given" in our government. As, a result, this regime slanders individual journalists and threatens to "investigate" or sue news organizations which refuse to praise it.

Our freedom of assembly may not withstand current threats to outlaw protests of the government.

And, our right to petition for redress of grievances seems rather hollow when one pauses to ask: to whom should such petitions be directed? "Who cares?" is no longer just a flippant response but a serious question. Indeed---"Who cares?

If we, THE MAJORITY, are not soon heard---if our valid and serious grievances are not redressed---if this growing miasma of helplessness and hopelessness cannot be dispelled, the explosion will be cataclysmic and, I fear, irreversible.

Just my thoughts before I try to get some rest and try to start fresh tomorrow.

13. I am in a state of stunned incredulity re this one

If he is appointed, it is all farce. Where is M$Greedia on this? Clinton's lie about sex pales in comparison.
How can a Supreme Court nominee who lied under oath to another branch of government be appointed to the court?

15. simple answer

he's a republican

[Captain Stern]

16. Simple answer.

Because the majority of people in our country don't know, and don't care. And, they don't care that they don't know.

They just don't give a single fuck about it.

Those of us that follow these things, and see what's going on, are rightfully alarmed.

But, we're a tiny minority. I'd wager that if you randomly surveyed 1000 people on the street, and asked them who Brett Kavanaugh is, less (far less) than 200 people would know he has been nominated for the Supreme Court. And only a very small percentage of those people would know anything about what' s gone on the hearings.

17. Republicans give zero fucks

They literally don't give a shit & haven't in a long while.
