Kavanaugh sworn in as Supreme Court justice after divided Senate votes for confirmation Seung Min Kim, John Wagner 1 hr ago Protesters pound on doors of Supreme Court Video by The Associated Press The Senate confirmed Brett M. Kavanaugh as the 114th Supreme Court justice on Saturday by one of the narrowest margins in history amid mass protests, ending a vitriolic battle over his nomination and solidifying a conservative majority on the court. As a throng of angry demonstrators stood on the steps of the Capitol, the Senate finalized on a near party-line vote of 50 to 48 what will certainly be one of President Trump’s most enduring legacies: two Supreme Court justices in two years in an increasingly polarized nation. The brutal confirmation fight is likely to have far-reaching implications in next month’s midterm elections. Republicans are confronting an electrified Democratic base led by women infuriated by the treatment of Christine Blasey Ford, who detailed in emotional testimony last week her allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when both were teenagers. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations. Yet Republicans say the battle to get Kavanaugh confirmed — in the face of Democratic opposition and the “mob” of anti-Kavanaugh demonstrators who flooded the Capitol in recent days — only motivated a fractured GOP electorate on a singularly unifying issue for conservatives: the federal judiciary. “It’s been a great political gift for us. The tactics have energized our base,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in an interview Saturday with The Washington Post. “I want to thank the mob, because they’ve done the one thing we were having trouble doing, which was energizing our base.” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) delivered a message “to so many millions who are outraged by what happened here . . . vote.” Kavanaugh heads to the Supreme Court significantly scarred from the confirmation fight, which had the echoes of the 1991 battle over now-Justice Clarence Thomas who was accused of sexual harassment by law professor Anita Hill and defended himself in an emotional, high-stakes congressional hearing. Already, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has received more than a dozen complaints of judicial misconduct against Kavanaugh but is not referring them for investigation for the time being. And in a joint appearance on Friday night at Princeton University, their shared alma mater, Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor raised concerns about how the bitter partisan battle over Kavanaugh will affect the court’s reputation. “We have to rise above partisanship in our personal relationships,” said Sotomayor, who was nominated by President Barack Obama in 2009. “We have to treat each other with respect and dignity and with a sense of amicability that the rest of the world doesn’t often share.” Poster Comment: Video and slide show at source.

Grasley & Kavanaugh head off to the swearing in keg party. Another passed out drunk like Ginsberg on the SCOTUS. Another passed out drunk Hey! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to get drunk on someone else's dime. You don't think Kavanaugh is paying for that keg himself, do you? ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Wholesale prices of midol and valium skyrocket due to peak demand. “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Leftards are crying into their pillows tonight - this is the second biggest DEFEAT for the commie rats since November/2016. It's a historic occasion!!
“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Did you have the same issue when. Clarence Thomas was sworn in Despite Anita hill?

Clarence Thomas is a constitutionalist, Kavanaugh is not. The slut show is just a distraction from his long career as a swamp establishment tool. He's going to be on the wrong side in a lot of his decisions. Kav is a libtard authoritarian nanny state gov, scofflaw jerk IMO. Are you sure that picture is not photoshopped? Where was it taken? From the height of the ceilings it could very well have been taken in the Capitol. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Yes, it's a real Anheuser-Busch keg that Justice Swamp is carrying. Paul Joseph Watson
