The Courts under Trump - Mega Thread

Nominate someone without controversy. See Goursich.

 

Let's not forget that this whole thing was shady from the start. Kennedy only stepped down once he knew Trump would nominate Kav, and there are suspicious connection between Trump and Kennedy's son as a banker.

 

Let's put Kavanaugh himself aside for a moment.

 

The fact that Kennedy handpicked two of his former clerks (Gorsuch & Kavanaugh) as a condition of his decision to retire is worrying to me. I already feel like the people at the top are insulated from the rest of us. What message does it send when Justices get to handpick their own replacements? Further concentration of political power in the hands of an ever-shrinking circle.

Then why wasn't that done for Gorsich, professor?

 

Gorsuch was replacing Scalia. The Dems weren’t as desperate to prevent that.

 

Kavanaugh replacing Kennedy is a bigger deal. A squishy moderate, especially on hot button social issues, is replaced with a more principled conservative. They were willing to make up sexual assault allegations to try to stop that.

 

Just wait until they try to replace Ginsburg with Comey Barrett. They’ll probably claim she practices witchcraft. :lol:

Pretty easy to create a controversy. Just find some people with mental issues and get them to make crazy allegations of sexual assault.

 

The precedent has now been set.

 

Yes that is the Left's playbook.  Gorsuch was not the swing vote so this whole notion by the Left that this did not happen with him is irrelevant.  Schumer and the Dems said they would oppose anybody Trump nominated from the outset and they had to fabricate this hoax to try to take down Kavanaugh and delay Kennedy's replacement until 2018 in case they could win the Senate.  This hoax failed big time thanks to having a President and now increasingly confident GOP Senate that is fighting tough and not willing to fall for the Left's games.  The irony in all this is that the left has hijacked and politicized the Me Too movement, and in pushing for these false/uncorroborated allegations they actually have hurt the Me Too movement.  If they were really serious about it they would not have supported Hillary Clinton who spent years smearing and intimidating Bill's victims, and they would not be standing by Cory Booker now who has admitted to assaulting a teen.

Don't you think they would do everything they could to stop both nominations since they know he's getting 2 of them? It doesn't make sense that they all of the sudden decided to go HAM on one of them and not the other. Unless you wear a tinfoil hat.

I keep hearing this claim of fabricating a hoax. So, is it that the Democrats came up with the whole idea and found a random person with a possible past connection to Kavanaugh to be the main actor in it? Or is it that they put out a call to anyone with any dirt to come forward and then they just made it juicier? Or is it that they manipulated Dr. Ford into acting of her own accord in going to her congresswoman and the Washington Post back in July, and then orchestrated all the pieces of a grand yet ultimately unsuccessful conspiracy over the next 3+ months? I'm not sure how exactly it's a 'fabricated' 'hoax.'

Well, they would have had to set up this hoax 6+ years ago when Ford told her therapist about the event.

It makes perfect sense, as I explained.

Allegedly. Interesting that she has refused to turn over those notes. So no one is really sure how she recovered this memory or what it consisted of.

Yes, I pointed out the Kennedy/Trump conflict of interest issue in some other post

 

Regarding controversy - by all accounts Kav seemed to be clean of controversy at the start of the process (outside of the trump/kennedy/banker son/kav  link - which not too many people on the committee seemed concerned about.

Did the FBI interview her therapist?? It seems that would have been the proper thing to do when the FBI did its thing..... unless the admin limited their reach.

The therapist probably can't say anything without violating some ethics code.

 

Also, wasn't there a report that many of her classes new that she had some kind of incident with a high ranking judicial official?
