This, by itself, disqualifies Boofer Brett

1. Disqualifies him for an American court, this is Russia.

And will remain so especially if what I just read is true that it is likely the GOP will GAIN senate seats.

Yep

Russia

[PaulX2]

2. Republicans Get Away With Lying

Always.

Yeeeesh.

[Larrybanal]

23. get away with?????

it is all they do

[issuesDemocrats]

3. Can we expel Orrin Hatch from the Senate too? While we're at it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Under what grounds, as it is now openly committing treason is acceptable in the GOP

perjury is good, obstruction of justice, ok, etc.

We are at war with nazis.

Soon they will start shooting, then everyone will know it is a war.

[George II]

8. He's retiring at the end of the year.

[issuesDemocrats]

9. OK, what about all the other Republican clowns?

10. Welcome to DU. You're posting fast. n/t

11. Sorry, I am not a spammer or troll. I don't intend to be, at least.

[rzemanfl]

12. No apologies in order. I see I need to go back and correct my spelling. n/t

[George Eliot]

26. Irony - it was Hatch's own town paper that told him time to retire. He was an embarrassment.

He's been an embarrassment for a decade or more. Such a slimy, whining smarmy suit.

[fierywoman]

4. He also lied about defining boofing...

21. Exactly. He just matter-of-fact lied, and very easily.

[George Eliot]

27. Now if we can only find the evidence...

you nailed it.

[JHB]

5. This is not brought up nearly enough.

It is cause all by itself, and it certainly impacts on the sexual assault allegations, since it is further evidence that he just isn't the fine, upstanding guy his promoters like to paint him as.

[DemocracyMouse]

29. IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP EVERY TIME...

Every govt. official, every joirnalist, indeed every concerned citizen should point to Kavenaugh's lies about Leahy's emails as a FOUNDATION to the argument that he is capable of lying about sexual abuse and the many other allegations of abusive behavior.

[dchill]

7. That has never been not true.

It's the original sin.

[Hassler]

13. He also lied about Maryland's drinking age.

What teen doesn't know the state drinking age? And he's not just a lawyer, he's a judge, and his mom was Mongomery County attorney.

[Saviolo]

14. Can we talk about Kavanaugh's naked partisan comments?

I mean, lying about a sexual assault that he may have been too black-out drunk to remember, and then lying about ever getting black-out drunk is bad enough, but we can just talk about how nakedly partisan the words he used LAST WEEK were? How much they disqualify him from what is supposed to be a highly deliberative and impartial position?

[Samspadesnark]

15. This tweet is incomplete

He lied under oath about it. Twice – in his former confirmation hearing and in his recent confirmation hearing. There's a legal term for that: perjury. And lying to Congress is a felony. I doubt the FBI has ever questioned him on this point.

[Scurrilous]

16. K&R

[Cosmocat]

17. I have been screaming about this all along

Until republicans foisted Trump on this country, this ALONE would have blown up his nomination, and he would be battling to keep his current spot on the bench ...

[Perseus]

18. There should be consequences for Hatch as well

Why? why do they get away with murder? Why?

[edhopper]

19. From 60 Minutes

Q: If Judge Kavanaugh is shown to have lied to the Committee, nomination's over?

FLAKE: Oh yes.

And....?

[shadowmayor]

22. From the Republican Senate chambers

Hang in there Brett. Trump will change the focus in another day or two. Who's talking about kidnapped kids on the border now - Nobody - see how it works?! Ever heard of Yemen? Me neither. Hell, America didn't turn on Bill Cosby until 30 or 40 women came out with their whiny stories about rape. You've gotta long way to go kid, you're gonna be just fine. The seat is all yours.

[warmfeet]

24. Never ending bait and switch. NT

[Danascot]

25. Boofus

I prefer Boofus Kavanaugh

30. I remain optimistic that more evidence will be revealed, as already seems to be happening

I am hoping that the news dump on Friday night will include this headline:

"Brett Kavanaugh withdraws his nomination for SCOTUS"

something which should have happened last week, but the Repubs are
hell-bent on getting their political-partisan shill on the bench and turn the Supreme
Court into a permanent, right-wing, third chamber of the Congress. Their rallying
cry against "advocate judges" is pure bullshit. Advocate judges are exactly whom
they want stuffed into that court.

This is why they gave Merrick Garland the shaft.
This is why they are trying so hard to shove Kavanaugh down our throats.
This is why they have remained silent on Trump: the "useful idiot".
This is why they tolerated Russian meddling in the election.
This is why they have been suppressing voter rights.
This is why they blocked Obama's court nominees.

31. So why can't they call Kennedy to the stand and ask him?

Surely there is a way to uncover the truth in court?

[BlueJac]

32. Stop the fucking madness NOW!
