Whoever is running Hatch's social media accounts has been killing it lately. Go back through his timeline, there are some hilarious gems in there (said from someone who doesn't love Mr. Hatch)

 

 

 

That's just good Twitter.

I never cared for him (we had a second residence in Utah for years) but his Twitter account has been amazing for a while now. I love reading it. I swear I want to hire whoever runs it to run my Twitter account.

Second residence in Utah, huh?  Rich girl in da houssssssseeeee.....

Dem senator is a new Resistance hero after cancelling meeting with SCOTUS nominee she wasn’t going to support anyway

 

 

[Tiberius]

Will Senators get to question Kavanaugh about his obsession with Monica Lewinsky's vagina? 

 

Or does he now think that things that happen with the executive branch are above reproach because the president is too busy?

I’m going on record that I’m cancelling my meeting with Senator Maize Horino. Of course it’s a meeting that was never scheduled, but her okole is just too too big for me. In fact, she’s a real okole.

The guy us obviously qualified.  I'm concerned about what seems to be too much deference to the Executive branch vs the legislative and judicial.  But elections have consequences and you'll get a jurist like this given the election results.  Just like you got Ginsberg with Clinton.

Ginsberg got confirmed 98-0 because she was qualified and her politics were not taken into consideration.

And the same should hold for the present nominee

This isn't unique to Kavanaugh.

 

This is the product of the last 70 years of Executive expansion, left largely unchallenged, which has created established government precedent of practice; and the body of Constitutional law and stare decisis which has supported it.

 

This is organic, is a product of generation on top of generation of Leviathan, and isn't limited by political party.

 

The only way to avoid it, in fact, would be to only appoint strict constructionists to the bench.

Agreed

If there is a better thread for this, plmk and I will post it in that thread. ?

 

 

 

 

The move sets up the potential for weeks of virtually continuous sessions of the Senate, although it is more likely that a bipartisan agreement will be reached at least ahead of the long Labor Day weekend.
 

The list of 17 nominees is highlighted by Richard Clarida to the Federal Reserve and a slew of Trump nominees to fill federal judgeships in seats across the country.
 

/snip
 

If senators were to object to time agreements, the Senate could literally spend weeks doing little other than considering the nominations, a move that complicates much of the legislative agenda for the rest of the year, particularly when it comes to finishing consideration of government spending bills before the end of the fiscal year on September 30.

 

Senate Could Be Tied up For Weeks Voting on Trump Nominees

His horoscope?  No.  But let's look at his sports coverage for his college newspaper, and...yep, he's a Nazi.

 

Quote

Laurence Tribe, a Harvard Law professor who mentored Barack Obama, zeroed in on the lead sentence in Kavanaugh’s account of a midseason game against Cornell: “In basketball, as in few other team sports, it is possible for one person to completely dominate a game.” Was this a harmless observation? Tribe noted, “Kavanaugh’s seeming fascination with single-player domination might be a muscular view of executive power.” On the other hand, he found a departure from Kavanaugh’s typical jurisprudence in “Dartmouth Rally Upends Streak.” “Kavanaugh complained that the refs let the game ‘get completely out of control’ as Dartmouth players ‘consistently hammered’ a Yalie ‘without the whistle blowing’ once,” Tribe said. “One might see in that a rare early condemnation of judicial restraint.”
