In Tuesday’s opening session of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, Democratic senators expressed concern about the nominee’s views of presidential power.
Chris Coons put it bluntly when he said President Trump had nominated Kavanaugh with “an eye to protecting himself.” Mazie Hirono piled on, arguing that Trump’s choice is not surprising given that the president is “committed to self-preservation every minute, every hour, every day.”
Donald Trump is under investigation by the Department of Justice for Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
@ Kay : I thought it was amusing because the baseball theme was so clearly designed by marketing people to make him a regular guy That was the part that was ugly comedy for me. They so want us to think of kavanaugh as a regular guy, dad, family man, all around nice carpool buddy “He”s a baseball fan! So relatable. Invite him to our Memorial Day cookout, he”s one of us! and then the info keeps spooling out before they can turn off the spigot: “Yeah, bought a whole bunch of baseball tickets. $200,000.00. But don”t worry, his credit card debt got paid off right before the hearings. Just a regular guy. It reminds me of the old M.K. Brown cartoon: “Did anyone actually see the candidate eat the rat? “I dunno, but it was a damn fool thing to let happen.
