It will follow him forever and at the first piece of tangible evidence, Democratic Congress will have him out of there tout suite. He may even end up behind bars if purjury is proven.
The Official Trump U.S Supreme Court Justice Nomination Thread
- Thread starter EagleSmack
- Start date
His whiny, snivelly, "I'm entitled!", ferociously biased, insulting to questioning Senators, extremely anti-Democrat (the party of the majority and the party that will be in power periodically), not-quite-honest-maybe renders him utterly ineligable to sit on the Supreme Court for the rest of his life whatever becomes of his reputation. America has the chance to dodge the bullet now after they've seen the "real" Brett Kavanaugh on display.
Have things deteriorated in the USA so far that he's the best that they can come up with?
Really?

He's got the "wrong stuff". The whole World is watching. He will never shake this off nor will he ever have the "right stuff".

I don't think it matters much, Walter as this is not a trial for a criminal offense. I think the main benefit of this charade is it's brought to light exactly what kind of character Mr. Kavanaugh is and adjustments will be made accordingly.
Rather hard to 'make adjustments to one's character' when one is fifty-something, JLM. Patterns of behavior are pretty well-locked in by then wouldn't you say? Not to say that water-shed moments don't happen and that even someone of that age can't change but .......if he is nominated to the Supremes, he will have no incentive to be other than what he is and will always be.
I actually meant there might be adjustments made by people who have to inter act with him knowing what they know now that they wouldn't have necessarily known. I doubt if he will change.
The pool at a country club with a purely unofficial whites-only policy, and two black or possibly Hispanic families (surgeons, no doubt) to repel charges of racism.
Constitutionally? None at all. They need not even be lawyers.
Practically, the pool is judges from the highest court in each state (e.g., Souter, O'Connor, Holmes), the Federal appellate courts (e.g., Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch), and the professoriate of elite law schools (e.g., Kagan).
The President nominates a candidate, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, usually from a list assembled by his staff.
In this case, the list was assembled by the Federalist Society, a private group of politically conservative judges, lawyers, and law students, Republican almost to a man. Emphasis on "man."
Then the candidate must be approved by the Senate, by a straight vote. All of this hearing stuff is not required, and is of fairly recent origin. The first hearing was Justice Stone in 1925, and it's only since the 40s that every nominee goes through in-person, public hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Used to be a 60-vote supermajority was needed (there are 100 senators), but the Republicans deleted that requirement (the requirement was a rule of the Senate, not the law nor the Constitution). Now it's 51 (in case of a 50-50 tie, the Vice President, in this case Pence, casts the deciding vote).
Thx. That fills in some gaps for YT.
