Judge Brett Kavanaugh testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on his nomination to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh serves on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
That is why the DEMS are going ALL OUT to keep him from being confirmed. They do not want anyone who cannot be compromised and controlled.
Thank you for posting!
Anybody listening to his swampy answers on abortion??
Watching on OAN
What did he say about abortion?
I saw Leaky Leahy and turned it off. Is Rush back today?
Thanks for the thread!
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker injected chaos into Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing Thursday by releasing confidential Kavanaugh emails with the backing of fellow Democrats in violation of Senate rules, calling it an act of “civil disobedience” and drawing condemnation from the Republicans on the committee.
“I am going to release the e-mail about racial profiling and I understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from the Senate,” Booker said at the beginning of the third day of Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing.
After announcing plans to do so, Booker released 12 pages of emails — which had been marked “committee confidential” — online for the public to read. The emails included internal post-9/11 discussions surrounding issues of racial profiling.
The New Jersey Democrat said he would “knowingly” violate the Senate rules to release the emails. Some of the other Democrats on the committee expressed their support for Booker’s effort.
Booker on Thursday drew attention to one 2002 email in particular from Kavanaugh that had the subject line “racial profiling.”
In the email, Kavanaugh, who was working as a lawyer in the Bush White House, said he “generally” favored race-neutral security measures, but said they need to “grapple” with the “interim question of what to do before a truly effective and comprehensive race-neutral system is developed and implemented.”
This is a forum where he should be vague and agreeable, which he is doing well.
Who?
These Senators are all talk no action. the idea that Booker is Presidential material is a laugh.
Exactly, otherwise the RATs will pounce.
C-Span allows you to go back and start from the beginning.
He could be President of his inner city gang I suppose.
To dither on whether the word “abortion” appears in the Declaration - or the Constitution before the 1970s - is pretty swampy.
I stand by my comment.
He said nothing.
I read them and could not for the life of me figure out what Booker was talking about that would cast Kavanaugh in a problematic light. It seems to me - trying to peer through the awful legal prose - that the charge amounted to noting that folks involved in 9/11 were from the Middle East and that those taking credit for the attacks were from the Middle East/Afghanistan and that any subsequent terrorists would have to likely enter the US somehow. In short, if Sen. Booker had a concern about Kavanaugh’s approach to the issues on and around 9/11 he should have been specific as to the words that raised his concerns - otherwise he was simply playing Joe McCarthy waving a piece of paper that nobody knew the contents of. Pitiful grandstanding.
