Kavanaugh‘s hearing has taught us a lot about the Republican Party

[Auld Phart]

A GOP senator gets it
Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse accused President Donald Trump on Monday of treating the nation like a “banana republic” after Trump lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions for pursuing federal criminal charges against two GOP congressmen up for re-election.

Trump attacked Sessions in a tweet for hurting the men’s chances in the midterm elections. Rep. Duncan Hunter (Calif.) was indicted last month on charges of improperly using campaign funds, and Rep. Chris Collins (N.Y.) was arrested by the FBI on insider trading charges.

“Good job, Jeff,” the president tweeted sarcastically Monday. He noted that investigations against the two “very popular Republican” congressmen were launched during Barack Obama’s administration.

Sasse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, shot back with an angry statement that people who break the law should be held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

“The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice — one for the majority party and one for the minority party,” Sasse wrote.

“These two men have been charged with crimes because of evidence, not because of who the president was when the investigations began. Instead of commenting on ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the job of the president of the United States is to defend the Constitution and protect the impartial administration of justice.”

What does that have to do with Kavanaugh hearing?

 

[Auld Phart]

Republicans put the good of corporations over the American people.

Republicans will do nothing to help Americans get healthcare.

Republicans will rush to ram their agenda through because they’re afraid of America finds out what’s behind that agenda they won’t vote Republican.

Republicans don’t believe in civil rights.

A list of GOP 5 to 4 court decisions were read yesterday.

What we learned is any case involving civil rights or challenging corporation overstep will never come down on the side of the American people.

Republicans are a corporate party.

Do US message board Republicans agree.?

Wtf are you talking about? No link, what kind of thread is this?

<hint> Not many people have ESP. I don't. Looks like a bunch of babble to me.

an opinion, not needing citation

Where did you get that shit from the hearings? Seriously

By listening,,,,,5-4 ,5-4,5-4 etc etc etc

and if Democrats held the bench, would it be 6-3,6-3,6-3, 6-3?

BUT those 6-3 votes would be for the people not just repub big business and top 1% supporters Quite a difference No will?

there wouldn't BE 6-3 votes, ed...

it would be 5-4, 5-4, 5-4, with the democrats being the 5.

just the reverse of what is happening now.

Republicans arent' going to 'cross the aisle' any more than the democrats have

Pay attention. A list of 5-4 decisions was read. Think about that. 5-4. All those judges went to law school. All of them were great students. But somehow or other they divided on partisan grounds. And in every case, every single case, the majority came down on the side of the powerful over the weak, corporations over the people, and Republicans over democrats. One legal analyst commented on the "tortured reasoning" of some of those decisions. The SCOTUS has became a joke, a friggin joke. It is a glaring black eye on the Republic that has nothing to do with "justice" and everything to do with power. If the founders were still around they would have already written another Declaration of Independence and initiated an armed revolt against our Plutocracy.

Remember when Republicans Senators filled the audience with raving lunatics during the Sotomayor hearing?

The democrat Party has no interest in being part of a country they're not running. Maybe it's time to relocate?

It's time to relocate democrats.

Shouldn't America expect more from our SC people than deep partisanship? You think that's all well and good as long as it's your republicans on top?

 

[Auld Phart]

Of course

do you seriously think it's ever going to happen?

None of it supports the Ops headline. It doesn't support the ops statements either.

And in every case,

and in every case, the (very likely same) 4 justices voted against.

Principle, or partisanship?

Stuff just shows up in the daily communique from Hillary and Diane’s Chinese connections and then their doofus internet squads take it from there. The pay sucks but then you never have to get out of your pj’s either.

If your posts show your level of education, I hope you don't miss the bus on your way home from fifth grade. Nice to see though that you are a republican since you aren't in the deplorable party.
