IDBillzFan Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 7 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: So Booker violated Senate rules (and possibly federal law) to release documents that show... nothing of substance. Were the docs released? I only see other Ds begging for him to do this. The problem here is that the left has the country is such a frenzy, that you need only find on the outer edges of racism something your great grandfather allegedly scribbled in his high school notebook to get fired from your job and spiraled into bankruptcy. I suspect that is the plan with Booker. Release something open to interpretation, stifle the nomination, then run for President.

I suspect that is the plan with Booker. Release something open to interpretation, stifle the nomination, then run for President. They've referenced and quoted several (marked) committee confidential email which is a form of the release and a violation. I haven't seen the documents pop up online but I also haven't looked (just getting started with my day). If I heard right this morning, they're out there now. And you're right, it's all about 2020 for Booker (and Harris). They'll be painted as "resistance heroes, sacrificing themselves for the country" but they're just opportunists, blatantly pandering to the far left base to score points for an election that's two years away... consequences be damned. (It also serves the purpose of trying to save their own skins, since Harris in particular is gonna find the next few months very uncomfortable)
Bray Wyatt Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 the notification i got said the document had to do with them discussing racial profiling post 9/11, not sure what was actually said havent had a chance to read at work 2

She represents everything the left claims hates about politics: bought and paid for by lobbyists and concerned only about her own self-interests and accolades. 1

And you're complaining his judicial nomination didn't get rubber-stamped by the Senate. You are so full of ****, you really need help. I think what he meant was that if he suspected Obama of being a traitor. You'd have to incredibly self-absorbed to have missed the millions of people who thought, and think that Obama was a very bad man and used his authority illegally and immorally.

GG Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I did a quick read of the confidential emails and didn't find much objectionable stuff, unless the objectionable stuff is the email subject line "racial profiling" We're quickly falling off the deep end. 1

But I do know, and have seen evidence, that she has a lot of skeletons in her closet regarding the issues on the border. I suspect a lot of that evidence will come out post-midterms when the boomerang comes back around and she will quickly be trimmed from the field of presidential candidates. Right now she's the number one candidate on the left. I don't think that will last. 2 minutes ago, GG said: I did a quick read of the confidential emails and didn't find much objectionable stuff, unless the objectionable stuff is the email subject line "racial profiling" We're quickly falling off the deep end. Ditto. It's amazing that Booker took that risk (though I doubt anyone will do anything about it) for so little of a reward. Kavanaugh has been very steady and so far hasn't been touched by any of this. It's just noise that they can use to cut into their 2020 ads for the resist crowd. I don't think it's going to work ultimately though...

But the people (such as you and I) who generally favor effective security measures that are race-neutral in fact DO need to grapple --and grapple now - with the interim question of what to do before a truly effective and comprehensive race-neutral system is developed and implemented. Could someone please explain to me why this is bad? 2

Basically he favors a race neutral long term approach to airport security but in the interim he advocates a working solution that keeps al queda in check. The Hawaii email was just an opinion on interpretation of existing law and precedence. Booker is an asshat and I hope they make an example out of him. 1

These comments from Booker lend support to it as well: He's daring them to do something... (but they won't)

He violated the rules for "transparency" and for "the people", but did it in such a way that he isn't going to be subject to much sanction, as it was a big bag of nothing. If they go after him, he plays the 'persecuted hero' card, along with the 'hero of the people' card. He's going to play this up that he is a 'hero' because he broke the rules to help the 'people'. Somewhat brilliant strategy to move ahead within the Democrat field, with very little actual blowback possible. Especially for such a moron. 2
