And I can call it a 'win' if I want to, so nyahh!

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.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostKavanaugh was the only realistic choice for Trump, because he is the only judge on the shortlist that believes a president should be immune from investigation.
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."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by JimL View PostNot 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!"
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."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostUm, 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.
