DogofWar1 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I don't think we can reasonably translate that mess. I don't think that highly of Grassley but damn, that tweet is below even him. Like you can't thread 3 tweets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Giant waste of time. I see full release of records as a legitimate grievance, but if the threat of impeachment was enough to suspend the operations of the executive, nothing would ever get done in this country.

If we establish that every nominee must produce every record for review, we’d have to nominate kids because otherwise it would take years for them to all be reviewed , people would be dead before they could be confirmed.

His WH staff secretary records now go to whether he lied in his previous confirmation hearing. There's no getting around that. Justice Gorsuch was confirmed without a records release brouhaha and he's no kid. If the judiciary committee agreed right away to request all staff secretary record, I doubt there would have been any trouble getting those records in time to confirm before midterm. Certainly before swearing in of new Congress. Confirmation before mid term or even before new Congress is a political desire. If the nominee likely has too much record to make the political timeline work, Trump should've gone with another nominee. I still think they have plenty of time though.

There are no signs the two parties will be able to reach an agreement. Grassley doubled down on refusing to ask for Kavanaugh's staff secretary documents in a letter sent Saturday to Feinstein and Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy (Vt.) and Dick Durbin (Ill.). Grassley said that after initially refusing to negotiate, Feinstein's office pulled a "political stunt" on Friday and sent him a list of potential search terms to look for in Kavanaugh's staff secretary documents. "Unfortunately, it is too late in the process to reopen the possibility of requesting staff secretary documents," he added. "Their actions evidence bad faith and politicized what could have been-and should have been-a bipartisan process." Sounds like one side is still willing.

I'm sure the dems will use this as a justification to further obfuscate for their next nominee. If Grassley doesn't care about whether a nominee perjured himself in a prior confirmation hearing, that's a damn shame. Then again, GOP doesn't seem to give a damn about Trump's illegal activities either, so why should this matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont really think it’s a concern 99% of the time but it’s a little different when the president is under investigation for potential treason and has just been named a co-conspirator in multiple felonies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Kaine was already coting no, Kaine apparently has no reason or place to further speak on the subject, offer his opinions or his interactions with Kavanaugh to the American public.

Jumbo Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 whenever i see him i want to beat him up. not based on any particular position. something about the way he looks, sounds and his body language just makes me want to do that. it's like the bill maher thing only bill has plenty of great comedic moments. cavanuagh has nothing. just a suit. smarmy. that's what is--well, that's one thing. i don't like this guy. pretty short, too. also the hair again. remember what i told you, if you remember nothing else i have ever told you, remember to note the hair from now on. never forget that. should have listened to me way back when there was still time. i think i'm gonna go out with dana loesch. she's crazy. great hair. but i digress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
