Kavanaugh Confirmation

Lol seriously

He has zero respect for the constitution that’s the overall flaw in our democracy we allow power hungry politicians to elect the judges who are supposed to keep their power in check

Sorry for the lack of punctuation iPhone is being weird
What rulings and decisions would you say best speak to this?

Don't fool yourself, this has never been about Kav. This was an indictment on trump... Kav's experience and qualifications were beyond reproach and the left knew it, the only thing left was to assassinate his character.
The problem is that they made sure JBK knows how low the Democrats will go. I don’t think he’ll be able to get that out of his hippocampus.

There are extreme views on both sides-- need the court to be even and not turn into what our government has become.

The court is made up by political actors on both sides. The medial and left never complain about the need for balance when a liberal is nominated. All of these judges are qualified and brilliant and both sides Anyone who believes they do not lean left or right is a idiot and will vote that way. The court is a direct extension of people by the President they effect

Conservatives will easily go back to being conservative if the Ds can find some some moderates and pull back to the center(ish) i believe . By nature and definition Rs are conservative but they have found a backbone I’m guessing with Trump telling them to stop being so soft and stand up . I really think it’s a reaction to Ds going so hard to the left . The closer both stay to the center the better off everybody is but it will take the left coming back before it gets anywhere close to being able to work together in a significant way . I’m my opinion , regardless of what some think , this country is nowhere near willing to go more toward socialism and the harder it’s pushed the most backbone the R’s , I’s, and some moderate D’s will find and get out to vote against it .

This right here. There is a lot of truth to this.

This is a comment from one of my liberal facebook friend's pages after yesterday: "It's starting to smell like Germany in the 1930's."
I mean these people really believe we are living in Nazi Germany all because of Kavanaugh?. They are nuts.

He/she isn't far off. You might remind them that falsely accusing Jews of rape was one tactic of the Nazi propaganda machine.
 
It's truly a shame that the Democrats have elected to feverishly deny the Trump agenda at every turn possible. I was highly skeptical of Trump when he initially took office, but I was pretty excited to see how well a non-career politician and successful business man would do in that position. The fact that he had never encountered any kind of domestic or foreign policy was kind of scary to me along with his antics and how they were perceived during the election.

What has he done? He has 100% won me over. If you put aside some of this twitter tirades and antics the man's progress in almost 2 years have been nothing short of astounding. The American economy is absolutely booming right now, the stock market is strong, the job growth (although a little short in September) has been incredible and the unemployment rate is down to levels we haven't seen since the 60's. We are starting to get stronger on trade agreements that have been causing an American Manufacturing Depression over the last couple of decades and decimating towns all over America. The US and North Korea are willing to come to the table and start the discussions of peace + denuclearization. We are getting ourselves out of expensive agreements that gained the US nothing while adding to the pockets of others (Iran and Paris Agreements). We are finally willing to step up to our so called "allies" who have been taking advantage of America for the last decade+ and demanding fairness.

All of this is happening with one side of the political forum stating that the man leading the way is Hitler and has us on a path towards a new NAZI regime.

I couldn't even fathom how incredible the results would be if there wasn't a side that was resisting at every turn. Does this mean that you have to like everything? No. Does this mean that you have to support everything? No. Does this mean that we can find some sort of compromise where he have differences and work towards a greater good? Yes.

Our trajectory as a nation would be on an exponential uptick if we all were working towards the same goal.
Unfortunately, neither party is currently interested in compromise. They haven't been for a long time. That's part of the problem.

SIAP - Bredesen says he'd vote to confirm if he was a Senator.

I'm not sure if this is credible, but I read somewhere that Schumer said the democrats would spend 50 million if that was what it took to get Bredesen elected. And now Bredesen will rebel against his benefactors.

There is an old saying - "The definition of an honest politician is one that when he is bought, he stays bought."

The democrats would be smart to allocate that money elsewhere because if Blackburn wins, she will vote against them for free. Kinda makes them look mentally challenged. And on the other hand, if 50 million is not enough to buy a politician, I'd like to go back in time and reconsider a career in politics.
