You forgot to mention Garland's hearing. How convenient.

He didn’t get a hearing. Is that why you guys are having a snit?

I am not complaining. I enjoy the shit out of it

You could tell that even semi rational Dems like Feinstein were embarrassed by the spectacle.

God I hope Ginsburg dies soon. You guys will be truly unhinged then. I won’t be able to contain my joy

As I am watching the Kavanaugh hearings I am struck by the astro turf protests and lefties being hauled out of the proceedings. Grassley is handling it masterfully.

It made me wonder if our lefty friends can provide examples of similar behavior from the right during the Kagan and Soromayor confirmation hearings.

Thanks for your participation.

When did we still a seat and pack the courts with ideological judges that are hugely and historically unpopular?

We'll see how much you enjoy it when we take back the senate and pack the courts to undo the bestiality of a court you're trying to artificially create.

That's the rules of the game. You chose to break the norms, we have every right to break the norms too to reverse what you're trying to do.

That wasn’t the question.

All you had to say is that there are no such examples of paid and coordinated right wing histrionics

Short answer is NO. Republicans don't act like thuggish whiny little children having temper tantrums.

Most are at work paying the taxes these losers are given so they have time to protest. Lord knows most can't hold down a job.

I mean, the irony of this is completely over-the-top.

When Scalia passed away, MANY prominent Republicans, as well as talk radio, argued endlessly that Obama HAD to nominate a conservative, because Scalia was such a conservative icon and could not be replaced with a liberal.

We live in such a surreal world now. I guess politicians forget that there are cameras and reporters, and that there words are actually recorded and can be referenced when they completely contradict themselves.

With Kagan and Sotomayor, the stakes were relatively low. Kagan was arguably more conservative than the justice she was replacing, which was the best realistic hope for the conservatives, so why would they get upset? Sotomayor was probably more liberal than Souter, but not hugely so. On the most controversial issues, like abortion, they were expected to vote the same way. He'd long been a member of the four-judge minority on most split decisions, so having her replace him mostly just preserved that status quo. By comparison, Kavanaugh is a hard-right judge being offered to replace a center-right judge who provided the swing vote on a number of critical issues, like abortion. When it goes through, it will profoundly alter the balance of the court and result in a long-standing precedents being overturned. Understandably, for people who don't want to see the court turn a drastic rightward turn, this is a big deal. If nothing else, it's widely expected to end Roe v. Wade, leading to a future when women who choose to end unwanted pregnancies are treated like criminals. The stakes are higher for this appointment than for any going back decades.

Since you bring up Roe V Wade do you agree with this?

No, he sure didn't, did he? So where was your concern that a President gets his choice for SCOTUS then? Non-existent.

People are pssed about that obstructionism, and rightfully so.

On Kagan and Sotomayor. Were tens of thousands of relevant documents withheld? Nope.

People are also pissed about that obstructionism, and rightfully so.

And you wonder why they protest.

Stupid fuck.

Satisfactory performance on the grade 11 exit exam in social studies is a prerequisite for high school graduation.

Requirements under the Minimum high school program include: "Social studies--two and one-half credits. The credits must consist of World History Studies (one credit) or World Geography Studies (one credit), United States History Studies Since Reconstruction (one credit), and United States Government (one-half credit)."

Requirements under the Recommended High School Program and the Distinguished Achievement Program include: "Social studies--three and one-half credits. The credits must consist of World History Studies (one credit), World Geography Studies (one credit), United States History Studies Since Reconstruction (one credit), and United States Government (one-half credit)."

How does your state measure up, Texas requires United States Government.

Florida requires "Three credits in social studies.--A student must earn one credit in United States History; one credit in World History; one-half credit in economics, which must include financial literacy; and one-half credit in United States Government. The United States History EOC assessment constitutes 30 percent of the student's final course grade."

I loved that Garland didn’t make it on the court. I would expect no less of Democrats if roles were reversed.

What is hilarious is lefties didn’t really care about Garland until AFTER Trump won.

Lefties were so cock sure that Shrillary would win, they didn’t put up much of a fuss at the time.

I remember lefties saying it would backfire when Shillary nominated a real left winger.

But you lost. So suck it. Say it with me bitch. Justice Kavanaugh

That's inane, easy to ping pong, when was the last time a Democrat interrupted a Republican Presidential State of the Union Address by yelling out personal accusations? Least these people aren't Congressmen.

If you're speaking of Joe Wilson telling the truth about Obama lying, what's the problem? Can't stand your black boy was called out for it?
