Rundown >These hearings are essentially 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 significant 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 originalist >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

After meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in September 2008, Whitehouse came under scrutiny due to possible insider trading, when he sold a number of positions, valued at least at $250,000, over the next six days.[39][40] Whitehouse was trading anywhere from 5–20% of his net worth.[41] In Senate candidate Barry Hinckley's book, he said that it was "implausible that much of someone's net worth would be traded without someone's knowledge".
Threadly 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".
Ryder Sanders
Absolutely not. They're only chimping out because Trump "promised" he'd appoint people that would. Both he and Trump have said that Trump has never asked him about it.
Carter Roberts
of course he's never said that. he keeps saying over and over that it's the law of the land and that he observes it, as is his professional duty. but ofc the libfags want to smear him for his commitment to his christianity and conflate the two things
Nolan Mitchell
I wonder what panel of degenerates and tards the dems have lined up next?
>a powerless population No you stupid cunts. It's a population that is openly antagonistic towards law enforcement. These communities actively help hide criminals and hinder their apprehension.

the fuck is a printer gf?
Grayson Sanchez
Correct.
Henry Ortiz
Never. Never even hinted at it. It's funny because they made all this noise about Roe when they thought it was going to be Amy Barrett (who is known to be anti-abortion) and then it turned out to be Kavanaugh instead who all signs indicate is not in the habit of overturning precedent and doesn't really seem to give a shit about Roe at all. But they still talk about it because they're mindless automatons.
Gavin Parker
No. I believe he's said it was an obviously bad decision not in accordance with the law, which is true.
That's a Chelsea Girl. So either she's a Israeli skinhead or making a joke?

Jack Reed
The leftists are literally just attacking Christianity lmao. They have no reason to believe that he would overturn Roe v Wade, but because of his faith, they assume that he will try. How is this not bigoted? Is Christianity not a protected religious belief like Islam?
oy vey "blessed sacrament" school? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Anthony Young
libtards hate Christianity and call it sexist and fundamentalist. but they love Islam, which is sexist and fundamentalist.
ofc what they're doing is the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" -- anything against the prevailing foundations of america they want allies in helping them destroy.
the final irony ofc is that the majority of muslims hate these heathen liberals and their godless agenda.
