        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          And I can call it a 'win' if I want to, so nyahh!
          Not surprised that you see it that way Tea, but it wasn't me getting pedantic about it, it was OBP. I was simply making the point that he is not confirmed yet, so he didn't win yet. OBP had to chime in with well that's not what Tea meant by win blah, blah, blah. In other words he wasn't answering to my point, he was just being "Pedantic!"

              no with out any proof or cites anything you say is assertion if you want to seem to be a thoughtful person you would put in cites to proof of what you say. it is called doing your own homework not expecting others to do it for you. To expect others to do your homework for you shows you to be an idiot who does not have a thought of his own.

                Don't worry, Tass isn't expressing an original thought here. He's just regurgitating the latest liberal talking point.

                Source: Cory Booker: Trump Nominated Brett Kavanaugh for �Get out of Jail Free Card�

                Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) speculated Monday evening President Donald Trump selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his second Supreme Court nominee to protect himself against special counsel Robert Mueller.

                Booker and liberals like Tass are not being entirely honest here because, first of all, Trump is explicitly not under investigation by Mueller or anybody else, and secondly, Kavanaugh never said the president should be "immune". He said, rather, that any civil suits and criminal investigations should be delayed until a sitting president is out of office so as not to distract from his duties of running the country. However, Kavanaugh does support impeachment and removing a president from office if there is evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

                    Gee, who could have predicted Trump would value that trait? Oh right, us, last week.

                    Also, it seems to be increasingly coming out now that Trump had a very close personal relationship with both Justice Anthony Kennedy and his son, banker Justin Kennedy. The fact that Kennedy has been consistently siding with the Republican appointees in 5-4 decision after 5-4 decision over the past year even in the sort of cases where Kennedy would have usually sided with the liberals looks pretty suspicious in the light of that. Apparently Kennedy negotiated with Trump for months in order to pick his own successor to SCOTUS, and Kavanaugh, one of Kennedy's ex-law clerks, was his pick.

                      Um, Jim, you attacked MY thread title and specifically said Kavanaugh hadn't won - since I used 'win' with regards to getting the nomination I get to say what I actually meant by it. OBP was just pointing out what I had meant - correctly - where you seemed to just take issue with the word 'win' when context should have made it clear I meant the nomination - so yeah, it's you being pedantic, not OBP.

                      You could have made the point about confirmation without attacking the thread title - but contextually, I see no actual reason to make the point other than as an aside. I don't object to it, of course, but you can't seriously have believed I didn't know he wasn't yet confirmed.

                        Oh my goodness Tea, attacking your thread! Since when did you become such a snowflake? Now you're being just as pedantic as OBP. I wasn't attacking your thread, I was making a counterpoint that Kavanaugh hasn't won anything yet. Sheesh!

                              Calm down, Jim. There's no need to escalate this. Have you considered making your counterpoint more civilly?
