Okay. Correct.
Not sure whether the progressives or the dnc-dud dems are now "the broader democratic party" but that is the nature of the civil war. Gonna be bloody too.
You say that with conviction. As if Horowitz didn’t dump cold water all over this nonsense.
There is a second bite to be had with our friend from Utah doing Trump’s bidding but all’s quiet on that front, unless you got some low standard Washington examiner tabloid piece to share. Well do ya?
I have no idea where this is going but the ICE stuff and protesting Supreme Court nominees after doing the best we can for the allegations put forward is getting a little untoward.
Here’s to hoping we don’t end out with a wild moron as the next democrat president like you guys did with Trump.
You are on a roll today. You must have adjusted your meds over the weekend. '
Good.
Also, so that I can avoid a few smug comments down the road from the left-tards here, I will acknowledge well in advance that Kavanaugh is only a moderate and not an across-the-board conservative so there will be rulings that make Trump and the pubs unhappy along the way. But that will only confirm what the pubs have said: he is not as scary as the dems made him out to be.
Example, trump is only going to win on parts of his sanctuary city cases and he is going to lose on a few of the moving parts in those cases. There are areas where both the progressive and conservatives will rule against him for constitutional reasons. I see that coming and am okay with it. Congress could tidy some of those rulings up by putting enabling legislation in various funding packages that authorizes the president to withhold funding in certain areas but I dont think that the president alone can cut funding on something that congress has enacted- again unless congress has put such language into the enabling act.
Kavanaugh is of the Merrick Garland ilk. You can ask then, well why didnt they just go with Merrick Garland then? The answer is because Trump was elected and it is his call.
Oh, there is a lot going on and this was recently discussed. More releases of info. Baker has apparently flipped. And there is a grand jury actively in progress on several fbi senior leadership issues.
Horowitz advance the intestigation quite a bit but his power is limited - he is basically a compliance officer not a criminal investigator. The fact that his scope allowed him to only go so far is not a confirmation that nothing else was problematic or being further investigated.
I am sure that you have contributed to Andy's gofundme page and he appreciates that because it is needed.
And contrary to the way the lefty media is reporting it, Trump's agreeing to redact/withhold some pieces of information for security reasons does not mean that his order to release that pile of texts/related documents etc will not and is not resulting in new incriminating information.
MORE TO COME.
Really. Does the national debt reset every 2, 4 and 6 years? How about monetary policy? Is that suddenly reset, and all debt wiped out so we can being producing GDP? What about manufacturing - do all the jobs that were lost come back and start back home until lost again? I'm just curious, because you make it sound like a video game.
What, specifically are you referring to on "The Balance Sheet" of the country?
On his first day, Justice Kavanaugh hired as many black SCOTUS clerks as Ginsburg did during her entire tenure on the Supreme Court.
Yeah he's been doing this for years. Thats probably why they couldn't play the race-card when they were slinging their mud at the guy.
On His First Day On The Job, Kavanaugh Hired As Many Black Law Clerks As RBG Has In Her Entire Tenure
11:18 AM 10/08/2018

Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation’s highest judicial tribunal.
With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court’s hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools.
Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.
Ginsburg’s hiring practices have been criticized for decades. During her 1993 confirmation hearings, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah asked Ginsburg if a court might reasonably conclude that a small business in a majority black city that hired 57 white employees and zero black employees over a period of years was discriminatory. Ginsburg dodged, before Hatch pointed out that was in fact her own record of clerkship hiring in her 13 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
“I will try harder, and if you confirm me for this job my attractiveness to black candidates is going to improve,” Ginsburg replied, to much laughter throughout the hearing chamber. (RELATED: Confirmed: Brett Kavanaugh Is Now A Supreme Court Justice)
Kavanaugh’s new clerks are Shannon Grammel, Megan Lacy, Sara Nommensen and Kim Jackson. These hires set a record in a second respect: Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court justice to hire an all female class of clerks.
A 2017 study published in the National Law Journal found that 85 percent of all Supreme Court clerks between 2005 and 2017 were white, and approximately two-thirds were male.
Just hours after the Senate narrowly confirmed the new justice, Kavanaugh was sworn in Saturday by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy in a private, intimate ceremony at the court. He quietly began work on Sunday, taking over a suite of offices formerly occupied by Justice Samuel Alito.
