I see you were watching MSNBC last night.
That has the appearance of being self-serving from Trump's point of view, but we're a million miles away from Trump being indicted and the question going to SCOTUS. But it's a good point.
From what I can tell, people are upset because Kafanaugh thiks that judges should adhere to the rulebook (the Constitution), and not invent law or invent rights that aren't enumerated in that document. To the left, that is controversial.
My senator, Richard Blumenthal, is afraid women will lose their rights. An overturn of Roe V Wade (we're also a million miles away from that) doesn't outlaw abortion. It sends the question to the states. Very., very few states would outlaw abortion.

Actually it's being reported pretty much everywhere.
As for a million miles from Trump being indicted, I think we're a few months away from several very high profile indictments, maybe even family. Unless Mueller has something just blatantly criminal against Trump I doubt he'll try and indict a sitting President...let Congress impeach him.

"I think we're a few months away from several very high profile indictments"
Which doesn't contradict what I said...
"let Congress impeach him"
If there's an impeachable offense, sure.
As to Kavanaugh. He said last night that Elana Kagan hired him to teach law at Harvard. Isn't that interesting...
You said you expected it to be civil. We shall soon see. The protesters were out in force immediately, and I saw Princess Liz Warren, raising her fist at their podium, showing her solidarity. It appears that Princess Lie-awatha wants the scalp of the Great White Chief, and that her ultimate goal, is his tee-pee.
All the women will either be dead or in internment camps, if you listen to Sen Blumenthal or Sen Corey Booker, who apparently get their tin foil hats at the same store.
Trump publicly offered to donate $1 million to Warren's favorite charity, if she'd take a DNA test. She hasn't taken him up on it yet, I can't imagine why.

No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination. Mr. President,
from last night doesn't sound very independent He learns quick you must Praise the Donald

Are you referring to the fact that Kavanaugh was nice to Trump, on the eve that Trump nominated him to the Supreme Court? Because Kavanaugh was gracious, that means he can't ever stand up to Trump?

This made me chuckle the other day......well....until I realized they would be heading to the polls someday.

Yeah, because this is the same exact thing. The woman lied, and she got rich off the lie. She checked off Native American on her application at Harvard, and they hired her at $400k a year.
And you can only fault the person calling her out for her lies? She isn't culpable at all? She didn't do anything wrong in your eyes?

Jim, there's no evidence her heritage had any impact on her employment at Harvard.

So why do you suppose, she checked that box? Are you that obtuse?
Harvard, in some kind of professor profile, made mention of it.

this is the same guy who offered $5 million donation if President Obama released “his college records and applications” and his “passport applications and records.”
did she do the work ? or are you saying they just paid her 400k for being an Indian

She didn't put it in a book
In his 1987 autobiography "The Art of the Deal," Donald Trump repeated the lie that his family was from Sweden. He later admitted that was untrue, and claimed German heritage in later books.

No, she put it on an application for a job paying $400,000 a year.
Trump is a scumbag. So is Warren.
See? I can criticize a liar on my side, and my head didn't explode. Can you do it? Can you call Warren what she is?
