What a totally sensible, reasonable man.

Lordy, I sure miss Stevens. He is a real model of a justice. Even with decisions with which I disagreed, he was a paragon of reason while expressing his views.

98 years old! And, a Gerald Ford appointment. Thank you, sir.

In his testimony, Kavanaugh denied allegations of sexual assault against him and said they were “revenge on behalf of the Clintons”

Kavanaugh is the judge from Fox. It’s not just that he is a political hack. He believes Fox News. Like Trump.

If K is confirmed, you can bet your ass that cases before the Supreme Court will be decided partially by the producers of Fox & Friends.

Good to see him still going strong. Well, as strong, or stronger, than we could expect a 98 year-old to be.

Sadly, this will have NO effect upon any Republican senator.

Indeed. Why should any of them pay any attention to the words or ideas of a Democrat?

BRAVO!!!

Now it’s time for O’Connor and Souter to speak out.

(You can forget Kennedy; he and his Deutsche Bank son are in the bag for Trump and the GOP GRU.)

He’s a Republican. At least he was. Nominated to the court by Gerald Ford. It’s just that he is a man who is thoughtful and willing to learn. Which makes him anathema to most Republicans.

Meanwhile every GOP senator is thinking “What a cuck.” because they’ve sunk that low

Too Little, Too Late. And more to the point, there is nobody in the GOP that cares.

You must be using the old definitions of Republican and Democrat. I’m using the new ones, in which Democrat means anyone who’s not a card-carrying cult member. I’ve said before that reading “Democrat” as “infidel” would often make sense.

It’s too bad Justice Stevens has no say in the matter.

No but it will always be out there that Stevens said this and it will not be pleasant for Kavanaugh when it is brought up frequently.

Watery stuff from Stevens.

He is 98 years old.

Jesus whatever happened to respect?

Excellent! The more, the merrier. Knowing nothing else, seeing Kavanaugh’s behavior at the hearing would be enough for me to judge him unfit for the Supreme Court. And there’s so much more.

Too bad for him and the 1200 law professors that stated he should not be on the Supreme Court.
Rethugs: I can’t hear you!

Even if Stevens had spoken out sooner, the GOP would not have cared.
