Nope, not at all. Just do it to piss you off.

Well said and with the demographic changes that are happening now and will continue to happen that will just get more and more likely as the years tick away.

I reckon even if he was an alcoholic serial rapist he'll be confirmed eventually, if only because otherwise Trump would never live it down. Not impressed one bit with his performance but that doesn't make him guilty, and it doesn't matter anyway because the exercise was to sling mud and resist confirmation not with any serious thoughts of prosecution.

Disagree.

If a nominee for the SCOTUS is a liar, a sex-pest and a partisan hack with a drinking problem then it kinda matters.

A lot.

..of course not, but the exercise encouraged serious thoughts of kicking up enough dust a) to delay confirmation and b) possibly give moderates cover to vote against him...so far, "a" has worked, while "b" has become slightly more likely...

I wager every elected world leader is a liar, probably a thief, almost certainly corrupt, and only the truly wide eyed innocent believe there are no sex-pests and partisan hacks among them with various drug and drink problems and other psychoses.

Even if you were right in that generalisation -- and I doubt that -- it still makes no difference to the fact that such people shouldn't be knowingly put into positions of power.

Wondering which one - out of the two - is more powerful?

Probably the latter in some respects.

Longer tenure, less oversight, ability to shape and control policy beyond even those who create it.

Kavanaugh will get confirmed. The republicans can, and will, push him through. The investigation/delay/public scrutiny of his actions/activities are a diversion. Lets concentrate on the supreme court nominee and not on the politicians platform(s). Hmm... make the mid-terms about a supreme court nominee?

If the republicans push him through before the mid-terms, end-of-story, although that may be beneficial to the democrats as a political point prior to the polls. After the mid-terms occur, the repubs can confirm him before the electors are seated in January.

The only thing that will stop his confirmation is the discovery of, and proof, of criminal activity.

WASHINGTON ― Senate Democrats just gave a huge gift to President Donald Trump: They agreed to expedite votes on 15 of his nominees to lifetime federal court seats because they wanted to go home.

Vote scheduled for 10:30 AM today. He will get confirmed. Flake, Collins and Murkowski will tow the party line.

IMO there's still a chance (however slight) that he won't get the votes.

You need to spend a few years in NZ. I would wager my house that the current NZ PM has no drug, drink, theivery, or sex crimes, or even "misadventures" in her past or future. And I'm sure she doesn't blatantly lie...maybe say things "diplomatically".

I'm counting on Collins. She's a traitor to her gender and her constituents if she votes for.

dont think he will get the votes, his defense, not the crime, is what did him
