Why am i not surprised. I think anyone who opposed the Kavanaugh nomination (myself included) knew that justice and truth doesn't prevail anymore in America. They are country of imbalance and injustice. Its Trump world.

Doug James

@Chris Goetz
Justice and truth did prevail. No witnesses, inconsistent testimony, falsehoods, no evidence. How can you prove guilt without these things? How would you like to have your life turned upside down through innuendo.

David Amos

@Chris Goetz "truth doesn't prevail anymore in America"

Methinks a lot of ghosts would agree that it never did N'esy Pas?

@Doug James "How would you like to have your life turned upside down through innuendo."

Methinks everybody knows that is exactly what happened to my Clan in 2002 N'esy Pas?

There is no evidence of any crime!

Democrats will throw away their ethics and morals to personally destroy an innocent person's life and character all for the sake of political gains.

@Andrew Hebda (NS)
According to some there is no such thing as man or woman. Being gender fluid means your objections have no relevance.

@Jaslynn Mayson "Democrats will throw away their ethics and morals to personally destroy an innocent person's life and character all for the sake of political gains."

So will Trump and his cohorts

David Amos

@Doug James "Being gender fluid means your objections have no relevance."

So says peoplekind but being a proud part of Mankind I strongly disagree and you know why N'esy Pas?

even democrat senators say there was no collaboration from the FBI investigation but the alt left can't accept it, just like the election refusing to accept fact

Bob McRae

@Sammy Redfeather

"There was no collaboration from the FBI". What does that even mean? Numerous Dem senators have come out and blasted the FBI investigation as a complete sham. Remember, they interviewed only 9 people. The fix was in before the investigation even started.

@scott sheppard
The electoral college was supposed to eliminate the possibility of large voting areas from dominating the rest of the country. The US is a republic and not a democracy.

The state is the primary unit. That is why pot can be legal in California but not in Rhode Island. Our Canadian system ensures all Canadians are ruled by the wishes of Ontario and Quebec.

I concur

The DEMocrats (finally) losing their minds during this nomination and resorting to seriously depraved acts of the lowest form against this candidate, has turned away a large portion of their support base.
This will reflect very badly for them in the midterms.
In my view the DEMocratic party of United States is dead and what remains is elements of its far left fringes struggling to lead the party.

David Amos

@Buz Hartford "This will reflect very badly for them in the midterms."

I would not bet the farm on it if I were you

James Douglas

Congratulations Judge Kavanaugh! There was absolutely zero evidence to support Fords allegations.

Shame!

@Maya Tikal Shame on who?

 
Natasha Pushkin

In my view the reason that the Democratic party of United States is in such disarray and operating on the most depraved ts of human psyche, is because Obama single handedly managed to destroy this party by pulling it away from its core belief platform of equity and centerism.
Now fringe left elements of the party are supported by BILLIONAIRE celebrities and paid HOLLYWOOD ACTORS, a dynamic that is deeply telling of where this SHATTERED Political Party is headed.

@Natasha Pushkin Methinks Obama had a lot of help N'esy Pas?

Brett Kavanaugh confirmed as U.S. Supreme Court justice amid protests

Following an acrimonious nomination, U.S. President Donald Trump's nominee to be sworn in later today

The U.S. Senate has voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, following a polarizing process plagued by incendiary accusations, hardball politics and rowdy Capitol protests.

The 50-48 vote — which was repeatedly interrupted by protesters, some of whom shouted "I do not consent" from the Senate gallery — marked the end of a fight for the ages between Democrats and Republicans. It was one of the narrowest ever margins for a vote on a Supreme Court nomination.

Following the vote, a White House spokesperson said President Donald Trump would sign his nominee's commission of appointment and that Kavanaugh will be officially sworn in later Saturday at a private ceremony at the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters in Washington swarmed Capitol Hill, where raucous demonstrators — largely anti-Kavanaugh — have been a fixture throughout the nomination process. U.S. Capitol Police said they arrested 164 people on Saturday for taking part in "unlawful demonstration activities."

Before the vote, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, called the prospect of Kavanaugh's confirmation "a low moment for the Senate, for the court, for the country."
But Senate Republicans expressed an entirely different tone.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, said, "The members of this body are duty bound to ensure we confirm justices of the Supreme Court who are men and women of the highest character and the most superlative qualifications.

"So fortunately, that is just the sort of nominee who stands before us today," McConnell said.

Following the vote, McConnell said the Senate "stood up for presumption of innocence," while Trump congratulated lawmakers on Twitter for confirming a "great nominee."

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

I applaud and congratulate the U.S. Senate for confirming our GREAT NOMINEE, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to the United States Supreme Court. Later today, I will sign his Commission of Appointment, and he will be officially sworn in. Very exciting!

Kavanaugh's opponents had raised concerns that he'd push the court further right, including the possibility of rulings sympathetic to Trump's positions.

But for the past few weeks, the battle was dominated by allegations that he sexually abused women decades ago — accusations he continues to emphatically deny.

Bernie Sanders ✔ @SenSanders

I am disappointed but not surprised by this vote. Unless I’m very mistaken, Kavanaugh will become part of a hard-right majority.

I’m also deeply concerned that credible allegations of sexual assault were not fully investigated and the precedent that sets for the future.

While aboard Air Force One on his way to a rally in Kansas, Trump said "there is no one with a squeaky clean past like Brett Kavanaugh. He is an outstanding person and I'm very honoured to have chosen him."

Collins says no corroborating evidence

Despite fierce opposition from Democrats, by Saturday, Kavanaugh's confirmation was already all but certain. Two swing votes, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, announced Friday they would vote for Kavanaugh.

Collins told fellow senators that Christine Blasey Ford's dramatic testimony last month describing Kavanaugh's alleged 1982 assault on her was "sincere, painful and compelling." But Collins said the FBI had found no corroborating evidence from witnesses whose names Ford had provided.

"We will be ill-served in the long run if we abandon the presumption of innocence and fairness, tempting though it may be," she said. "We must always remember that it is when passions are most inflamed that fairness is most in jeopardy."

Those passions were on full display in a fight that could energize both parties' voters in elections for control of Congress just five weeks away.

Collins, perhaps the chamber's most moderate Republican, proclaimed her support for Kavanaugh at the end of a floor speech that lasted nearly 45 minutes. While she was among a handful of Republicans who helped sink Trump's quest to obliterate President Barack Obama's health-care law last year, this time she proved instrumental in delivering a triumph to Trump.

Manchin, the only Democrat to vote for Kavanugh on Saturday, announced his support for Kavanugh in an emailed statements sent moments after Collins finished talking. He faces a competitive re-election race next month in a state Trump carried in 2016 by 42 percentage points.

Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski, a fellow moderate and a friend of Collins, was the only Republican to say she opposed Kavanaugh. But on Saturday, she voted "present" instead of "no," offsetting the absence of Kavanaugh supporter Steve Daines of Montana, who was attending his daughter's wedding.

That rare procedural maneuver left Kavanaugh with the same two-vote margin he'd have had if Murkowski and Daines had both voted.

Vice-President Mike Pence was available Saturday in case his tie-breaking vote was needed.

Limit on debate passed

In a procedural vote Friday that handed Republicans an initial victory, senators voted 51-49 to limit debate, defeating Democratic efforts to scuttle the nomination with endless delays.

That vote occurred amid smouldering resentment by partisans on both sides, on and off the Senate floor.

"What left-wing groups and their Democratic allies have done to Judge Kavanaugh is nothing short of monstrous," the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, Iowa's Chuck Grassley, said before the vote.

When Trump nominated Kavanaugh in July, Democrats leapt to oppose him, saying that past statements and opinions showed he'd be a threat to the Roe vs. Wade case that assured the right to abortion. They said he also seemed ready to rule for Trump if federal authorities probing his 2016 campaign's connections to Russia try to pursue him in court.

Yet Kavanaugh's pathway to confirmation seemed unfettered until Ford accused him of drunkenly sexually assaulting her in a locked bedroom at a 1982 high school gathering. Two other women later emerged with sexual misconduct allegations from the 1980s.

Democrats also challenged Kavanaugh's honesty, temperament and ability to be nonpartisan after he fumed at last week's Judiciary hearing that Democrats had launched a "search and destroy mission" against him fuelled by their hatred of Trump.

Kavanaugh will replace the retired justice Anthony Kennedy, who was a swing vote on issues including abortion, campaign finance and same-sex marriage.
