FULL TITLE: Brett Kavanaugh stares down his critics as he finally gets his say at chaotic SCOTUS confirmation - as 70 are arrested and howling protesters dressed as Handmaids force his daughters to be escorted out for their own safety
Brett Kavanaugh vows to be an 'umpire - a neutral and impartial arbiter' on the Supreme Court as the first day of his confirmation hearing was disrupted by protesters and Democrats alike.
'A good judge must be an umpirea neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy,' Kavanaugh told senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday afternoon, over two hours after he was originally scheduled to speak.
Day one of his time before the Senate committee was interrupted continuously by protesters expressing concerns about his record on abortion rights and Democratic senators demanding the hearing be postponed so they could have more time to read the documents from his time in the government.
Seventy protesters were arrested, according to a statement from U.S. Capitol Police.
The day grew dragged on and grew so contentious that Kavanaugh's two young daughters were escorted from the room although they returned in the afternoon to hear their father's opening statement.
'My judicial philosophy is straightforward. A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written. A judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent. In deciding cases, a judge must always keep in mind what Alexander Hamilton said in Federalist 83: 'the rules of legal interpretation are rules of common sense,'' Kavanaugh said.

The Umpire needs to call the ‘Rats out....
So the whole McCain-inspired new era of bipartisanship is over on day 1?
That lasted, say, 8 minutes after business hours started on capitol hill.
The Umpire needs to call the Rats out....
The Umpire can do that from the bench, where it matters
This is just a formality, there is nothing he can do or say that would make the left stop, in fact, letting them to continue on their middle school antics just shows the rest of the electorate how petty they are.
The is great theater, let it continue I say, it does not hurt us one bit.
Include Judge Kavanaugh and his family in your prayers tonight. They were attacked by evildoers today and need the strength and assurance that God supplies to His chosen ones.
So that's what those bizarre costumes were. How do you explain this to your children? Hell, how do you explain this to any sensible adult?
Well, you see, long time ago and far away...
Good grief!
He invoked “common sense”!
The left can’t even begin to grasp that concept. It’s utterly alien to them, because they are ruled by their emotions.
nobody has the right to disrupt a senate hearing.
the senate is doing OUR, the voters’, work
disrupting the senate is an attack on our entire representational system of governance
which is, of course, exactly what its intended to be...
imho, the SorozNazi and other seditionists need to be rounded up, tried, and dealt with appropriately
if our nation is to survive with ANY civil liberties left AT ALL
imho
Soroz learned how to overthrow a republic’s elected government from his Nazi managers and pals in WW2...
please note that these are exactly the SAME tactics he learned from his fellow Nazis in Europe, exactly the same
and it worked there ..with far, far less (thought it did have some for sure!) $$$ backing and organizational capacities......so it will work here unless we stop it
while we can
Yes, I think this is going to hurt the Dems. I don’t know about you but I don’t want spoiled children with no courtesy and little self-control representing me.
Gee and just WHO made it chaotic?!
These paid “disrupters” (I refuse to call them protesters) should be jailed and have to admit who paid them...The payer then needs to be arrested and prosecuted...This is NOT the way out government should be administered....
Any sane people who watched the proceedings should be totally disgusted by the way the democrat members acted and the way the proceedings were interrupted by obviously paid disrupters...
So let me get this straight. His daughters had to be escorted off of the senate floor for their own safety? WTF?
McCain would have loved the bedlam of the disruptors today.
we absolutely agree
LOL. Still children, they were suckled on Harry Potter and never grew up. It's Halloween dress-up every day of the year.
Handmaids? Ooooooh! Scary stuff! Ooooh!
“dressed as Handmaids”
That refers to the Margret Atwood (Fiction) book “The Handmaid tail” about a society dominated by what are supposedly fundamentalist Christians but whose theology is actually Islam. The book is simply vile in its misrepresentation of Christianity but is required reading in many undergraduate programs. The fact that there never has been a society in a Christian culture like that but that they do exist in Islamic cultures is lost on the femidiots.
He’s going to be a good one. I can feel it... they are terrified of him.
