Made a pact, that Kavanaugh will completely support RUMP concerning RUMP pardoning ALL! Also supporting RUMP when it comes to whether a sitting President could be INDICTED? Lot at stake here in this confirmation!!!!

I thought it was already understood that Kavanaugh would support Trump in all his troubles. I thought that was the main reason Trump picked him. I think we should also ask if Lindsey Graham made a pact with Trump in which he would vigorously support Kavanaugh in exchange for Trump pardoning him if any of this Russian stuff lead to charges and convictions. How do we know that Trump did not use a Russia investigation of Graham to force him to lead the charge in supporting Kavanaugh? Everyone has thought Graham has been acting the way he has because he wants to be the Attorney General. What if it is really either he is worried about a conviction, or if Trump used an investigation to increase Graham's support? I do realize Graham is a partisan, but maybe the investigation caused him to suport Kavanaugh more.

(6,044 posts)about it very much.
I do think they spelled it out anyway. Trump tried just that with Comey and it did not work.
Kavanaugh was sent to him by the Federalist Society so both Trump and the Society could each get what they wanted. Trump gets numerous stay out of jail cards, the Federalist gets their America -totally owned by the rich.
I think G W Bush fully supported it both because Trump would hold back damning documents from the Bush White House and because Kavanaugh was his frat brother and his loyal political operative- stealing an election to torture to whatever else.
Who can forget Bush giving one of his reasons for invading Iraq (in addition to the non existent weapons of mass destruction) as Saddam being the guy who tried to kill
Bush's father.
None of these people feel a primary duty to us, they are bonded with a social class, a brotherhood, and government for, of, and by the rich.
When Kavanaugh whines about how he did everything right he means he served power loyally (not us or our country) and was now here at the door of the Supreme Court to collect his reward and continue his service for more rewards to come.

We've all known the fix was on since the beginning - when Justice Kennedy suddenly "decided to retire." How much was he paid for that? This has all been a sham from the very beginning.

(6,254 posts)he doesnt owe Trump anything. There is no honor amongst these thieves. All that said, you are probably dead on. I never thought about it that way. Then again never thought I would see a SC nominee say what goes around comes around. We are living in troubled times.

This is all about protecting tRump and all his crimes from not happening and the President being held above the law.
And abolishing abortion rights for women will be on the chopping block among other liberties.

(27,813 posts)He (Trump) can't let it go. He can't let her popular vote total go. Of course he chose the person most calculated to enrage her.
How she keeps her cool is beyond me.

(36 posts)Yup, I'm with you ... one of the many worries about Kavanaugh ... aside from major disasters of most likely predator and possible attempt to reverse Roe vs Wade ... wasn't it mentioned that he supports expansion of Presidential powers ... what a nightmare. D-boy must be salivating all over his Big Mac.
