    This Kavanaugh confirmation has transformed into a disgrace. How is it when Dems win their SC noms get an easy time, but ours get mauled.

        It's as if Gorsuch, who was confirmed w/ 3 Dem votes and faced pretty run-of-the-mill objections from Dems, never happened either.

        Nice Schlapp-down. Have Republicans lost their memories, or just think others have lost theirs?

        I don’t get why it’s ok for a Supreme Court nominee to be coached by the whitehouse on how to get through allegations of lying. Can he possibly be unbiased? To me this really tarnishes the whole court system.

        I don’t understand. They already got Gorsuch. They are really locked so deep in their bunker they think it’s political rather than simply consider he’s a bad nominee?

        Schlapp doesn't seem to remember last year when Gorsuch didn't have these kind of issues brought up...

        How in the world do you believe that Democrats are playing politics here, think that's wrong, while simultaneously believing that it's right that Republicans played politics with Garland? Jesus, at least be consistent if you're going to ignore the garbage fire that's Kavanaugh.
