1. He certainly shows the gravitas I would expect of a supreme court justice.

[Lanius]

2. He came off as arrogant, indignant and entitled.

We saw the real Brett Kavanaugh today.

[Honeycombe8]

19. My opinion exactly. We saw the real Kavanaugh. The elite entitled man...

who does NOT like to be questioned, or his authority, either.

[DesertRat]

3. He's too emotional, hysterical, belligerent and partisan to be on the SCOTUS.

[flibbitygiblets]

7. The only people who were emotional, hysterical and belligerent today were MEN

Maybe we should just nominate women going forward and then we won't have to worry so much about sexual predators getting onto the court. (Much less chance anyway.)

[kag]

11. Wish I could K&R your comment! n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. absolutely

[DesertRat]

31. I vote for that!

[Gothmog]

4. K&R

[Lucinda]

5. Perfect!

[Stuart G]

6. A con artist uses all techniques available...emotional outbursts, crying, disrespect..

and sarcasm. Everything and anything to con you..

[Fritz Walter]

8. Kabuki theatre on Capitol Hill

Do you suppose that he’s been coached by Rudy Ghouliani?

Setting aside the volumes of lawyer jokes, Brat was scripted. Rehearsed. Prompted.

Not to mention all the other adjectives that have been posted here and elsewhere.

Nonetheless, the RepubliCONs on the committee are not only eating this up, but also feeding this composted bovine manure to the oh-so-angry (and hungry) base.



Get out the vote on November 6th!!

[tiptonic]

9. Poor

Poor baby!!!

[chowder66]

10. FYI - There's a little typo in Outbursts!! : )

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Also in the last line ("they were just weren't expecting")

EarlG must have been pressed for time.

[chowder66]

24. Ooo I missed that! It's been a long and exhausting day. nt

[EarlG]

30. Sorry about the typos

I fixed them, thanks.

[Scarsdale]

12. He comes across as a

whiny little bitch. His wife looks like she does not believe him, either. The gop, for their unknown reasons, are determined to have this piss poor excuse for a judge, seated on the SC. Maybe, just as they chose their unqualified president, they have now picked their unqualified SC judge.

[warmfeet]

13. Just deserts,

coming right up.

If your professed god is real, I know where you are headed.

[Towlie]

14. It was like Bogart in The Caine Mutiny losing it at the court martial and exposing his true self.

[Harker]

20. The ball bearings testify loudly

in the quiet courtroom.

[appalachiablue]

15. Temperament is so important

[Harker]

17. They should scratch off the "Hon."

from his nameplate.

[blueinredohio]

21. That should be made into a sign to carry or a shirt.

[R B Garr]

22. These pictures are going to last long after Donald Trump is impeached

or indicted or whatever his eventual outcome is for his treasonous ways. Some of these GOP'ers think this little charade of his is going to last forever. It's not.

Hard to imagine more unprofessional pictures of a pubic man/figure that will last forever. Truly disturbing. Who can't imagine this man as a punk-ass angry teenager now after this disturbing display today.

[BeckyDem]

25. Comments suggest he was trying to please Trump. We as a country need to examine

how the voters can have more control over this process. What we have now is total bullshit.

[YessirAtsaFact]

26. It should take a super majority to seat a supreme court justice

Add that to the list of constitutional amendments we need.

Others include eliminating the electoral college, limiting campaign spending to something like .5% of median income per person per year, declaring that corporate person-hood doesn't include any political rights at all.

And changing the 2nd amendments to allow regulation of gun rights for private citizens.

[BeckyDem]

27. Totally agree.

These conversations need to take place while we work to gain the majority again.

Fucking Kavanaugh for the next forty years? ugh

[Nitram]

33. No we don't want to make this a decision by the electorate. That's how we got Trump.

A super majority of both houses of Congress should be required. That keeps a balance between the parties.

[BeckyDem]

34. Kavanaugh becomes confirmed we are looking at a threat to our nation at its core.

This is not just about a filthy liar sex abuser of women, he will continue to decimate rights for all minorities including LGBT. He'll continue to prop up the rights of multi-nationals to pollute. Citizens United will not be deterred. Do you I need to go on? That is why the WSJ Editorial Board is endorsing him. He fits their priorities, all that crap about how they hate Trump is more bullshit than anything else. They're on board for much of his agenda.

I take issue with the idea we cannot exam how we decide on a justice and how long they serve.

What does the Constitution say about picking Supreme Court justices? Not much
2016

There have been contentious battles over Supreme Court vacancies before. But, still, the current situation created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia and the announced intention of Senate Republicans to refuse to confirm any nominee to replace him until after the next election takes the country into uncharted areas.

[Nitram]

35. You don't think requiring a super majority of votes in both Houses of congress would fit the bill?

if that were the case now, Kavanaugh would not be confirmed.

[BeckyDem]

36. I am saying to you the entire process needs to be looked at and discussed openly.

Our government is beyond corrupt and much of the power to reset it is becoming more elusive.

Flake is confirming Kavanaugh. These "resistance" Republicans are nothing but liars.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Childish display of frustrated entitlement

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Just seeing the inappropriate tirades from Lindsey Graham and Orrin Hatch for the first time

Did they see the same unhinged diatribes from Kavanaugh that I did??

[Nitram]

32. Not only their nominee. Chairman Grassley and Lindsey Graham also "blew a gasket" as Nina Tottenburg

on NPR put it. Or, "acted out," as those involved in childcare would term it.

[dalton99a]

37. Entitlement at its finest.

[Johonny]

38. This guy will be worse than Scalia ever was...
