    But they dont seem to ever actually make it work. It ALWAYS fails. In fact most things that government does fails to achieve its stated purposes. Makes me wonder if they really want success. Take roads for example- never seem to get it right. Never seem to fix them once and for all.

    Of course they take their destination seriously. It is a system in which they have even more control than they do now to force individuals to sacrifice.

    Here are a couple of other items in the mudslinging fest of the Kavanaugh hearing which are important and should be understood..

    1. An attack by Sen Whitehouse (D-RI) smearing the pro-property rights Pacific Legal Foundation. Whitehouse was trying to get Kavanaugh to either condemn PLF or be smeared through association with Whitehouse's mischaracterization. Either way PLF is intended to be smeared. PLF "Public interest litigation, Senator Whitehouse, and the Kavanaugh hearings" https://pacificlegal.org/public-inter...

    2. The statists fear that the Kavanaugh might help reverse the infamous Chevron decision under which the court gives deference to agencies in interpreting Congressional authority for themselves. The Hill "Stop letting agencies tell judges how to interpret statutes" http://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/...

    Kavanaugh made many written comments, including in emails, primarily as legal advice. He was not a mechanical "paper handler" who only "touched papers". Kavanaugh's as well as the other's writing are confidential executive branch work that should not be given to politicians demanding it.

    Kavanaugh's role appears to have been in the process of judicial nominations.

    I got this idea from the fact that pretty much ALL government programs dont work, yet they continue and continue to try spending money on them. Maybe the real goal is to gain power and spend money without ever getting the problems solved.

    Solving problems would mean no more money or power was required. A little like drugs that treat but do not cure. Imagine if a cure for cancer was found how many industries would collapse tht support the current treatments.

    When nothing seems to work, maybe the people working on it dont want it to work.

    Just a thought, but government is such a collossal failure at so many things, it makes me wonder.

    It also explains why government kicks the can down the road so much- maybe they know all along that the goal is not the picking up of the can, but the kicking it further down the road

    Ha, blarman, you touch upon my own thoughts. That is, why don't the Communists (Democrats) adhere to the "Pelosi Doctrine" here and just vote the guy in and then read the documents to see what's in them? :-)

    Good point.
    It is about stonewalling. If they somehow could get the hearings postponed, then maybe it could get delayed until after the mid-terms. Any reason will do.

    Maybe the goal of socialists is just to keep the hope of it working. In which case what they do isnt insane at all. Keep finding new suckers like us to find their hopes, and when other people’s money is gone, move on to milk new targets

    We know that Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and the others will become leaders in the liberal half of what used to be the USA. I'll stock my cooler, park my fat butt in a lawn chair, and watch as their socialist country does its best impression of Venezuela.

    What's the definition of insanity? Oh yeah...doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

    What you're witnessing is a combination of a stalling tactic, with the Dims hoping they win enough senate seats to sabotage Kavanaugh after the elections. They don't care what's in the documents.

    The other part of this clown show is Booker and Harris competing for the title of most freakish, putting on a display for the extreme left of their party, thinking that will get them the presidential nomination in 2020. I think these idiots are misreading the tea leaves, as most Democrat voters aren't part of the "resist" movement in league with Antifa. What's bizarre is the fact that even these black wannabes have abandoned their own race to hug the new "victim" in town, the illegal alien. They will pay for that mistake when black voters stay away from the polls, or even vote Republican.

    Cruz and me dino are Constitution-based American conservatives. Evidently, we have the same fix on the feelings that motivate the warped statist mentalities of Dump Trumpsters, though I can't recall him specifically stating as much. Surely, he doesn't revel in ad hominem attacks on hominids like me dino loves to do. .

    ...as if the Bush administration was not resting comfortably in the swamp. The US has lost more than a generation to socialist engineering, from Bush1 to BO.

    There aren't a half-million pages of anything. His decisions are open and available for anyone to read and can be found via a quick Google search. Those aren't what the hubbub is about.

    Kavanaugh served on Bush's team as a paper-handler for the legal team. He didn't write anything or give opinion, but Democrats are claiming that because he touched those papers they have to be turned over for examination. It's completely bogus - those papers have nothing to do with Kavanaugh. Rather, they are legal opinions and discussions held by the White House in a confidential setting and as such are protected by Executive Privilege - and rightly so.

    This whole thing is grandstanding of the most hypocritical degree. Did those very same Senators object to the literally-overnight passage of the Affordable Care Act wherein Nancy Pelosi famously stated "We have to pass the bill to see what's in it."

    As pointed out by Fox News, the number of documents argument is an attempt to stonewall and stall. More pages have been turned over than the last five Supreme Court judicial nominees combined and includes the work he did as a prosecutor on Ken Starr's team as well as his teaching at Yale and Harvard. And all of it has been available for months.

    What is going on with Kavanaugh hearings is the liberals trying ANYTHING they can to keep Trump from doing anything productive. They tried to keep him from getting elected, then tried to keep him from being inaugurated, then tried to keep him from selecting a cabinet and other appointees, then constantly berating him in the media, then claiming that he is incompetent, then claiming he did some undefined thing with the russian government, then claiming that he is obstructing justice by firing the useless hag Comey. I am getting VERY tired of the liberals, and would vote for dissolving the republic into two parts somehow- liberal and conservative, so that we can all get on with our lives.

    Maybe conservatives pay for the programs they want, and get the benefits from those. Liberals pay for their programs and get the benefits from those. Might be a start.

    Its all about money and whose gets used anyway.

    Delay and Resist! I am loving these hearings and all of the clowns exposing their true colors. The idea behind "Delay" is to push it past the midterm elections because they honestly believe they will ride a big Blue Wave and take back one or both houses of congress. There are many undecided voters watching and listening to all this garbage. I hope they keep it up because when your opponent is digging himself a hole it is best to throw him a shovel.

    The left wants a judge who will make law from the bench, irregardless of the tenets of the Constitution. The rest of us want a judge who will use the Constitution to weigh cases which come to the Supreme Court, as to their legality within Constitutional bounds.
    The dim clowns know they can't stop the process of affirming Kavanaugh, so they attempt to slow it down and possibly get it delayed until after the midterms. Expecting a "blue wave" to save them with all the talk of impeachment and discrediting Trump's pick for SCOTUS.
    Doesn't look like thats gonna happen either. lol.

    It's a fight between enlightened thinking and post modern thoughtlessness.

    It Should, be obvious to even the most casual observer, that few if any understand what the SC is supposed to do, never mind, know the law and purpose of the SC in the first place.

    Even among those that can read, it is clear that they lack the ability to understand even the simplest of sentences.

    Ruled by the dumbest among us...or shall we just say we are governed by a Kakistocracy and call it a day.

    Enjoy the show...it's good for a laugh or two.
    They have lost control, the laws of nature and existence itself will win, their dream of making this place an alternative universe has failed and this is their last breath.

    Kavanaugh worked for the Bush administration, which was a "political" position. They want to go through everything related to him they can get their hands on in the guise of reviewing a nominee they already know they will vote against because they want everything they can get on political decisions and discussions in the Bush White House to exploit for any purpose. As part of that if they happen to find something they can "interpret" and spread about Kavanaugh they hope to influence others like Sen. Collins to vote against him.
