Previous threads Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3 Thread 4 Thread 5 Rundown >These hearings are essentionally a job interview for the supreme court justice nominee selected by the president. They serve to field any questions senators may have before casting their vote to approve or deny his nomination. This is signifant because Democrats have been using the courts to legislative, this both blocks them and gives Republicans a chance to reverse previous decisions
History of confirmation hearing >The controversy surrounding Brandeis's nomination was so great that the Senate Judiciary Committee, for the first time in its history, held a public hearing on the nomination, allowing witnesses to appear before the committee and offer testimony both in support of and in opposition to Brandeis's confirmation. While previous nominees to the Supreme Court had been confirmed or rejected by a simple up-or-down vote on the Senate floor—often on the same day on which the President had sent the nomination to the Senate—a then-unprecedented four months lapsed between Wilson's nomination of Brandeis and the Senate's final confirmation vote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis#Nominated_to_the_Supreme_Court
>Kavanaugh is an orignalist >The original intent theory, which holds that interpretation of a written constitution is (or should be) consistent with what was meant by those who drafted and ratified it. >The original meaning theory, which is closely related to textualism, is the view that interpretation of a written constitution or law should be based on what reasonable persons living at the time of its adoption would have understood the ordinary meaning of the text to be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Originalism

eadly reminder that stare decisis only matters until it doesn't. Wickard v Filburn, Plessy v Ferguson, Brown v Board, Roe v Wade are all cases that overturned decades of precedent. Antonin Scalia even wrote papers outlining the (high) standards by which stare decisis should be upheld or not. Overturning bad unconstitution precedent has not traditionally been understood as "judicial activism".

Republicans have actually given testimonials unlike those dems

I need to leave soon for family related reasons so this will be my last thread created - can another user pick up the next and following threads as needed?
So... does the cocksucker from the previous thread want to try and explain how Kavanaugh lied? Just a reminder: perjury is NOT misspeaking or making a mistake. It is intentionally making a statement that the speaker knows is UNTRUE, in order to deceive Congress. Again, we can start here: prove Kavanaugh knew the information was stolen.

>Mr xmas What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere What's this? There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair What's this? What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong What's this? There's people singing songs What's this? The streets are lined with Little creatures laughing Everybody seems so happy Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What's this? There are children throwing snowballs Instead of throwing heads They're busy building toys And absolutely no one's dead There's frost on every window Oh, I can't believe my eyes And in my bones I feel the warmth That's coming from inside Oh, look What's this?
>Hurr durr, leaking is stealing. Good job. You just proved that Kavanaugh did not lie. Someone leaking a document is not the same thing as someone breaking into a computer and making a copy of it. It was someone on the inside giving someone on the outside information.
