Senator McConnell, commenting on how he blocked a truly qualified candidate nominated by a legitimate president elected by the majority of the people: “One of my proudest moments was when I looked Barack Obama in the eye and I said, ’Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy.’”.
Oh gee, what a well reasoned, carefully crafted, and sober response to serious questions on the Justice’s past actions. How child of you Gorrell. But, then, that is what we expect of you.
Bob, ever the mindless far right idealogue, once again ignores the facts:-Republicans refused to even consider or pretend to consider Merrick Garland, a fully qualified caandidate.-Grassley, who said at Elana Kagan’s hearing that full disclosure of all her documents was a necessity, is now railroading a right wing idealogue right over his “friends acoss the aisle”.Gorrell, Varvel, Branco – blunt trauma ignorant idealogues.
So, the White House withholds 100K pages on Kavanaugh, the hearing commission withholds, then dumps 42K pages until the night before the hearings began, Kavanaugh is into his third day of not answering any questions put forth to him, and yet the Dems are big whiney babies for not rolling over and acquiescing to this travesty of an open process? Personally, a better toon would be a picture of McConnell just thumbing his nose at the American people.
Well, they’re called “caricatures” for good reason.
I do wonder what’s in the 100,000 pages of Kavanaugh’s writings that the administration thinks would be too toxic to release.
The larnid jedge himself has so far talked smarmy nonsense, maybe that’s a qualification. But it’s reel nice that he loves his wife. And his aunt. (How can anything go wrong?)
From Dem Dick Durbin: “if you believe that your public record is one that you can stand behind and defend, I hope that at the end of this you will ask this committee to suspend until we are given all the documents, until we have the time to review them.”
Durbin and Leahy had filed a complaint about Kavanaugh lying to Congress about his involvement with “detainee” (POW) discussions while K worked for Bush 43. Bush’s DoJ ignored the complaint.
Kavanaugh has said he can’t reply to hypotheticals even when they are things like the president pardoning himself; said he hasn’t thought about it. For crying out loud, most of us have thought about that and have a reaction and we’re not SCOTUS nominees.

Sorry, Gorrell. You’re not allowed to point any fingers at anyone citing immaturity while president Poopy Diapers is in the white house!
WAY too much BS, even for you!

This looks more like the frustration faced by MOST Americans when they see how this administration is being run.

How stupid are your conservative readers, Gorrell? That they believe this crap.
Your job is to make things better. This won’t get the job done.

This commentary coming from a guy who supports the thievery of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump (during the election).

Mr. Gorrell — are you really in favor of all the jiggery-pokery and hypocrisy being deployed to jam this candidate through? Shame on you!

Call it whatever you want, Gorrell. We are going to bang the floorboards loudly.
It’s shameful what Mitch McConnell did to Merrick Garland and it won’t be forgotten.
