Do you disapprove of GOP handling of Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings?

[Atomic Kid]

Not in all.

“So it is not correct to assert that all but two sentences she handed down in such cases, when she served as a district court judge from 2013 until last year, were “below what the government requested.”

I meant fact checkers in general.

That would figure given how apparently adverse you are to facts in general.

It was aweful, absolutely aweful.

[Jason Warfield]

Wonder what Americans thought of the confirmation hearings of the 3 pior confirmation hearings. The hearings where the democrats badly misbehaved? Remember?

Let's see, Kavanaugh had sexual abuse leveled at him and that is something worth discussing for a Supreme Court nomination. Are you going to sit there and tell me if a Democrat nominee had such accusation you wouldn't want them questioned?

Amy Coney Barrett was grilled on relevant issues both personal ideology and her ruing concerning the ACA and abortion among others...are you suggesting that the GOP never did the same for Democrat nominees? Are you seriously suggesting that such questioning to determine how a nominee might adjudicate isn't proper?

And in the small history of filibusters on judicial nominees...that wasn't even a thing for the Senate until 1949 and even then...it didn't start until the GOP threatened to use it against LBJ's pick of Fortas. So, you don't get to cry over the fact that the DNC wanted to do that to Gorsuch...especially since the GOP moved the goal posts on cloture votes, using the nuclear option. And let's not gloss over how many softball questions the guy got....

Meanwhile, the GOP asked dumb questions for the most part and even used a children book as a prop (completely getting the message of the book wrong, but hey, it was Cruz so should we expect any less stupidity from him?). And chose to...ah...forget...that when they accused her of being soft on child porn, that the same policy and procedures she used were also used by GOP nominated judges for the same outcomes.

 

[Mustachio]

There can be no complaint for the respectful and fact based treatment she got, especially after the disgusting, embarrassing, and juvenile antics by the Democrats against the prior appointees.

You mean like....

On September 16, after media reported anonymous allegations and reporters started to track down her identity, Ford went public.[34] Ford had wrestled with the choice to make her identity known, weighing the potential negative impact it could have on her,[35][36] but ultimately spoke to The Washington Post, alleging that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in the summer of 1982 when she was 15 and he was 17.[37][38][39] She said that, while his friend Mark Judge watched, Kavanaugh, intoxicated, held her down on a bed with his body, grinding against and groping her, covering her mouth when she tried to scream and trying to pull her clothes off.[40][41] Finding it hard to breathe, she thought Kavanaugh was going to kill her.[13] She recounted escaping when Judge jumped on the bed and toppled them.[7] As corroboration of her account, Ford provided the Post with the polygraph results as well as session notes from her couples therapist written in 2012.[7]

The therapist's notes do not name Kavanaugh but record Ford's claim of being attacked by students "from an elitist boys' school" who went on to become "highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington". The therapist's notes also say four boys were involved, which Ford attributed to an error by the therapist; Ford said in 2018 that four boys were at the party but only two were involved in the incident.[7] Ford's husband recalled that she had used Kavanaugh's last name in her 2012 description of the incident, and that she said he might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.[7] In an individual therapy session in 2013, Ford described a "rape attempt" that occurred in her late teens

"I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through"

-Lindsay Graham to ... Kavanaugh?

Aren't men who are accused of sexual assault questioned and not comforted? I understand both sides, the side that wants to question whether or not Kavanaugh tried to rape a woman and the side who is outraged that anyone dare ask about the rape allegations Ford had been making for 3 decades.

 

[Cardinal]

Jackson was on the business end of a temper tantrum that was exclusively over Kavanaugh. Nothing more, nothing less. And what is painfully obvious to anybody who paid attention is that Jackson isn’t Kavanaugh. Temperamentally, Jackson is everything that conservatives desperately wanted to believe that Kavanaugh was: dignified, professional, stoic, free of scandal. Ironically (or rather, hypocritically), conservatives applauded Kavanaugh’s behavior that was the opposite of all of those qualities because, at the end of the day, conservatives are victims, and everything must be in service to that.

 

[Slartibartfast]

No one was accusing her of being pro pedophilia.

 

[BrotherFease]

I didn't see the entire hearing. Just snippets of it. But I did see the questions from Hawley, Blackburn and Cruz, and they were indeed terrible and embarrassing.

 

[The AntiDonald]

Gorsuch and Barrett's hearings actually showed mostly decorum, even when they disagreed, albeit a couple of questions re: Barrett's faith because she attended a religious college.
Kavanaugh was accused of rape, wrongly or rightly and is in a category all by himself

Kavanaugh was also only marginally qualified, despite his assault accusations. He was chosen by the Heritage foundation because he was almost guaranteed to overturn Roe v Wade.

McConnell cheated Obama out of his pick and then again cheated Biden out of his first pick. So overall, it was a perfect storm for republicans having Trump in the WH during that period.

It's no wonder that democrats were a little upset over all three picks.

 

[post]

Behavior quite tame compared to the shitstorm of the Kavanaugh hearings.

Kavanaugh demonstrated he is a radical partisan extremist to the point of incoherence and does not have the judicial temperament
to qualify as a night court judge in a small municipality. Kavanaugh is a disgrace on the court, a spoiled jack-ass.

Trump supporters are so grateful Kavanaugh, as Clarence Thomas before him, jumped out of his "lynching noose" to mingle for
a time with U.S. Senators and spectators. In Kavanaugh's case, he pulled the nails out that affix him to his Cross, as Trump has been
know to do, from time to time. Thomas, Trump, Kavanaugh, along with Trump supporters, victims all, a designation reserved exclusively
for them, Judge Brown cannot be regarded as a victim. She cannot "go by different rules" a perogative strictly reserved for the real
victims, the 86 percent white, G.O.P.

Brett Kavanaugh's attack on Democrats could pose risk to Supreme Court

Supreme Court nominee's denunciation of Democrats in his testimony could reinforce views of the court if confirmed

SEPTEMBER 29, 2018
"...
During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, the Supreme Court nominee called the sexual misconduct allegations against him a "calculated and orchestrated political hit" by Democrats angry that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. Kavanaugh went further than Clarence Thomas, who in 1991 attacked the confirmation process but didn't single out a person or political party, when he confronted allegations that he sexually harassed Anita Hill.

"What comes around comes around. I am an optimistic guy. I always try to be on the sunrise side of the mountain, to be optimistic about the day that is coming," Kavanaugh said during his opening statement. "But today I have to say that I fear for the future."

Gorsuch was nominated for the SCOTUS seat Mitch and Lindsey stole from Obama and democrats.

Seems the forum agrees with the majority of Americans thus far...

this forum leans heavily anti Trump and supports Biden (though slightly less than hating Trump).

I'm quite sure that if a person had come forward accusing Judge Jackson of a felony, the hearing would have been very different.

I dunno. Without a biologists's certification that this person is indeed black and female, questions remain.

Who cares? A few republicans even see how qualified she is and she will be a Supreme Court Justice.
