I encourage all NSGers (Especially American ones) to listen o Judge Kavenaugh's confirmation hearing.

It is being broadcast live here https://www.cnn.com/specials/live-video-1?adkey=bn

They are scheduled to go into the evening.

My opinion thus far it looks like he will be confirmed as he has handled himself well. It will also go tomorrow.

I have added a poll as per request. Sorry for the delay I reentered the dating environment and it appears to take more time and energy than I remember.

He'll be confirmed because there's a Republican majority in the Senate. Donald Trump could shoot someone in Times Square and Kavanaugh would still be confirmed.

in 25 minutes Senator Booker will be Questioning Judge Kavanaugh. This will likely be the strongest line of questioning in the hearing.

But Kavanaugh can't shoot off his mouth in the hearing and be confirmed.

I believe he'll be confirmed. Even if there are, say, two dissenting Republicans (which I doubt will happen), we'll always have the Manchin and McCaskill types to vote him in.

Sure he could but he's a nice man, a carpool dad, so he won't.

I'm surprised that Congress hasn't made these confirmation hearings closed to the public since several "civil rights/democracy loving" groups urged people to make asses of themselves and disrupt the meeting do they not know there making the republicans stay in power longer?

And flees in abject feat from having to interact with the proles.

I'm not absolutely convinced that red-state Dems will vote to confirm this time around. I'm also not entirely convinced that it would be in their best political interests to do so.

I assume he'll be confirmed -- the man has literally sat through mock confirmation hearings to forestall the possibility of him saying something inopportune.

Last nominee to shoot off his mouth got a whole new verb named for him.

A borking, a borking, and then the oral sex!.

Senator Booker is really pushing Judge Kavanaugh.

>when you don't really care about this and just want the US legal system to have a total remake

It looks like Kavanaugh, it looks like Senator Booker broke the rules when he crossed Kavanaugh over emails Kavanaugh is not allowed to look at.

Well that's the left for ya they'll do things their way even if it means breaking the law that's why their trying so hard to get back power so they can implement their rule unopposed and outside the law.

The US system is the system you get when other countries go for a remake. #SCOTUSbestcourt

I mean I could shoot someone in times square and not have it affect someone I know and/or like as well.

Well, he's wrong. Secular law is best law.

I rather enjoy getting to listen to the hearings live where possible. Its a shame that they have to be so very scripted.

Never said the right could never do wrong what I did imply was that ever since trump was elected the left has been more detrimental and destructive to American culture and democracy in everything from congress to Supreme Court Justice confirmations how many republicans urged their supporters to hound democrats no matter where they were, how many conservative groups go into Supreme Court confirmations and disrupt the proceedings. How many conservative people and groups go to people minding their own business and steal their personal property just because they don't like the president. How many conservatives say that if there voted into office the first thing they'll do is impeach a democratically elected president, instead of trying to make the lives of the citizens better.

-and that's why a SCOTUS judge never answers any specific questions on what he believes or his policies on the Constitution. He doesn't want to get more Borked up than the Swedish Chef.

I'll take things people have forgotten the Republicans did during Obama's tenure for 1000, Alex.
