4. Time to break out the big guns, Democrats

We've had about ENOUGH of this sanctimonious GOP grandstanding, let's kneecap these fucks...

[Talitha]

28. I'd aim a bit higher, but kneecaps will do... for now, anyway.

[ChazInAz]

47. That'll serve nicely to slow them down.

Then we can get to the serious business.

[Achilleaze]

5. RT

OK, has Whitehouse got something fresh to point to?

[uponit7771]

7. +1, looks like what's new is the "rushed" FBI investigation not Beer Boys actions pre SCJ. The ...

... FBI is full of MAGA and didn't investigate what was needed.

[wnylib]

48. The FBI is still full of MAGAts

and has a Federalist for a director, so how can we be sure that they would do a proper investigation now?

Also, in order to start a real investigation, doesn't this proposal need some more backing?

I will be happy to see it done, but I am not convinced yet that it will be.

[uponit7771]

49. +1,

[democratsruletheday]

71. agree....

Kinda skeptical myself. Toothpaste long been outta the tube, the slimeball is on the court and will continue to be.

[gratuitous]

13. As I recall

My understanding of the original vetting done by the FBI was severely curtailed on orders from the White House. Christine Blasey Ford was the only witness adverse to Justice Boof's interests called to testify at the Senate. Any number of other witnesses were never interviewed by the FBI. There were also several anomalies noticed in his personal finances, including how he paid off his mortgage, was able to buy season tickets to the Washington Nationals, and suddenly appeared before the Committee debt-free without any indication of where he got the money to pay off all his creditors. None of these items were investigated very thoroughly, if at all. Sen. Whitehouse probably knows one or two more interesting facts about Justice Boof's past that should be aired.

It will be interesting to see what happens next. The FBI doesn't like its work to be reviewed or questioned, but there may be some folks in the Bureau who would like to see FBI's work given a second shot at investigating Justice Boof without the constraints of the Trump administration.

[panader0]

25. I recall some 3500 tips from the public about Boofer Boy that the FBI never investigated.

[msfiddlestix]

64. Important reminders, thank you

and excellent points regarding the FBI's investigation review inclinations.

probably not going to happen, but we might be surprised. hate to leap ahead of reality, but could such a review lead to other questionable financial conflicts involving other seated justices on the that same court?

Also, I'd really like to see an investigation or financial audit on both Heritage Foundations and Federalists Society.

Tanks filled with rotten fish.

6. Time for Wray to go

This may expose some shenanigans during the original vetting

[wnylib]

50. I sure hope so. Wray needs to follow Comey out the door.

[hvn_nbr_2]

66. After the FBI's brazenly dishonest "investigation", I just can't even imagine...

a reason for Wray to still be in that job.

It would not surprise me at all if Wray obstruction is the reason for Merrick Garland's seemingly slow progress.

[DET]

8. Yeah!!!

Finally, someone is trying to do something about that sham investigation. And I can’t think of anyone better to do it than Senator Whitehouse (where has Schumer been all this time?) But the FBI director is still Christopher Wray, which is problematic at best. I hope Kavanaugh is sweating.

[inthewind21]

67. Sweating over what?

He already sits on the SC. What happens if there is another investigation and something rock solid is found? You think frat boy will be impeached? No, he'll STILL be a SC justice. This ship has long since sailed.

[Novara]

9. I am so HERE for it!

[OLDMDDEM]

10. Yes!!!

29. Some of those require very basic answers.

Shockingly simple minded Democrat blaming there.

[niyad]

12. Excellent!

[Lonestarblue]

14. Congress needs to pass a law with term limits for justices.

Maybe ten years. For those already past this number, perhaps grandfather them in for maybe two more years. Anyone joining the court the last three years falls under the limits. I realize this affects the rational judges on the SC as well, but we need to get people like Thomas and Alito off. Congress will not impeach any of them.

[Wounded Bear]

30. Tricky, as it is in the Constitution that they are lifetime appointments...

the best we could do, maybe, is set up a rotation of some kind where they are reassigned periodically.

But it would take an amendment to actually end their terms prematurely.

[trof]

39. Lifetimes were much shorter then.

[druidity33]

62. Create a law that defines ...

lifetime appointments as 20 years. Period.

[Wounded Bear]

63. And it will end up before this Supreme Court...

how do you think they will decide?

[inthewind21]

68. Bingo

Creating a law that is a direct contradiction to the constitution will go down in flames before the ink is dry. It's amazing how many don't know that. Changing the SC requires a constitutional amendment. Not a law.

[druidity33]

73. Every one of them would have...

a conflict of interest. If we institute a code of ethics for them that is inviolable, they would have to recuse. These things must be legislatable.

[spanone]

15. K&R

Follow the money

[dchill]

16. Time to vet the vetters.

[Skittles]

17. also investigate why that one abruptly resigned....

AND CHECK OUT CLARENCE AND GINNY TOO

all the repuke hacks on the Supreme Court are HACKS

[mopinko]

22. kennedy

[KS Toronado]

18. Plus we should find a reason to go after Clarence Thomas.

[Samrob]

20. You don't have to "find" a reason. We have one. The single no vote to tur over J6 documents. (Gini

All of her emails should be investigated and every 5/4 vote he participated in should be looked at for conflict of interest.

[KS Toronado]

24. You are correct, thanks for jogging my memory.

[housecat]

27. We don't have to look far

23. That's nice

Wake me up when multiple Democrats push this too. When this is demanded and demanded again the next day , and the next....with more and more Democrats joining the voices each time...getting louder and louder.....staging walkouts....


Yeah, that's what I thought

[nilram]

36. Yup. This, plus 2.50 will get me a bus ride downtown.

[NJCher]

61. Why don't you spend your $2.50

On a bus ride to kavanaugh’s neighborhood and see why he’s still living in an average—very average—house? Tv news showed protesters at his house. I couldn’t believe a SC justice lived in such a nondescript domicile.

Also if he was living in such a low rent oops mortgage place, how did he ring up 200k in credit card debt? what the hell did he spend it on?

I know a high flyer who rings up a lot of debt on restaurant bills. Has to drive a new Mercedes. Only drinks the best scotch. Constantly shopping for new, expensive clothes. Flies wherever he wants when he wants. Well the worst he could do with credit cards was ring up a debt of around $82k and I know his salary was about 50k less than kavanaugh’s. So how did kavanaugh spend 200k?

Lots of things don’t add up with kavanaugh.

[housecat]

[flying_wahini]

31. And all those corroborated assault reports that Barr pushed thru the White House FIRST?

It won’t happen.

[flying_wahini]

32. Whitehouse needs to be OUT IN FRONT of the press on this. He is a great speaker.

[oasis]

35. Sen Whitehouse says FBI "tanked" the investigation into Kavanaugh.

He was just interviewed on MSNBC’s Joy Reid show.

[MontanaMama]

33. Kick.

Out the liars. Out them all.

[oasis]

34. Whitehouse interview by Joy Ried on MSNBC now.

[RicROC]

56. is Chuck Schumer thinking of retirement?

I'm sure Sen. Whitehouse could step in.

[Warpy]

37. He had all his debts paid off not once but twice

and yes, knowing about where that came from is in the public's interest. He was rushed through so fast no one in power had time to ask the questions, let alone get any answers.

He's dirty and that makes him the most vulnerable right winger on the court.

[liberalla]

38. SQUIRM Beerboy, SQUIRM!!!

It made me so mad, that little show they put on! I would love to see a REAL investigation...

[childfreebychoice]

40. Yawn, plenty to see, but we don't have votes to impeach. Next

[ecstatic]

54. Nope. Tired of the "don't have the votes"

excuse. We need to get rethugs on record every single time. How many times did they hold failed votes to overturn the ACA? We shouldn't hesitate to vote multiple times when it comes to defending our democracy and the integrity of the court.

[wnylib]

55. We might not even have enough

agreement to get an investigation started.

But if we cross that hurdle, the best we can hope for is that an investigation will reveal the truth about Kavnaugh's sexually predatory behavior and money deals.

[Wild blueberry]

41. Hot damn!

Who paid off your debts?

[Zeitghost]

42. And if it does, then what?

There is no constitutional requirement for an FBI vetting, there is no recourse other than impeachment which we all know is impossible.

[BlueIdaho]

44. Baby Teeth Brett

Has got some explaining to do…

[OMGWTF]

45. A couple of things:

Who paid off Boof’s massive debts and what was the real motivation for Justice Kennedy to suddenly retire? Recall that his son was Trump’s banker at Detsuchbank.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

46. The FBI has fucked America 5 ways to Sunday !

Between Comey and This and doing anything nefarious TFG asked and not rooting all the evil MAGA types in their ranks.

The funny thing about law and order R's, they forget all the rules when it comes to investigating their OWN, since Nixon our country summarily dismissed malfeasance by Republicans over and over again.

[Botany]

51. Brett lied his ass off during his hearings.

Kavanaugh: ask any of the witnesses and they will tell you that nothing happened. (about the attack on Dr. Ford) ..... not one follow up question about how can you have witnesses of something that never happened?

Take off the gloves and go after these "Judicial Crisis mother fuckers."

[ecstatic]

52. I like it. He's being proactive

instead of a defeatist with a ton of excuses. Is the FBI working on it?

[HighFired49]

53. Link?

Does anyone have a link to the MSNBC story? (I don't do Twitter.)

[onecaliberal]

58. K&R

Hell yes!

[GoCubsGo]

59. Yes, Boof Douche should be properly investigated.

72. Christopher Wray is not only a member of the Federalist Society,

he went to law school with Kavanaugh. The way it was worded was, Wray was an acquaintance of Kavanaugh at law school.

Wray did not properly vet Kavanaugh.
