I"ve read things on this site about Kavanaugh that makes me wonder

[bluestarone]

Why the hell weren't they brought up at the hearing??? Maybe someone could explain this to me? TY in advance!

[elfin]

1. I hope they were at least brought up in their closed session. nt

2. The repugs have suppressed thousands of pages of docs of his writings...

and have forbidden them from being broached in the hearing. That is why Booker and Hirono defied them by daring to release some the forbidden history of the perjurer.

[bluestarone]

4. Agree here to that BUT

The Gambling debt and the Schiavo news mostly was released AFTER the hearing, and i'm wondering why not DURING the hearing? Did no-one know this at the time, i'm wondering?

11. The 200k in debt has been known for MONTHS

There were numerous stories about the supposed baseball tickets.

[AncientGeezer]

17. Wasn't gambling debts... Nats ticket debt yeah..

and was posted about here after the nomination.

[AncientGeezer]

8. His decisions weren't hidden....they were/are all available.

[brush]

10. Only 7% of the documents on him have been made available.

[AncientGeezer]

13. Those docs that aren't public record......like the decisions.

Not 1 Democratic Senator claimed they couldn't read the decisions....the D.C. Circ doesn't hide decisions.

A bunch of stuff from the GWB Admin and e-mails...absolutely that's been held back. Not decisions.

[brush]

14. Point taken. Nearly all of Kagen's docs were made available, not so with the perjurer.

I will edit.

[AncientGeezer]

15. Judge Kagan's paper trail was smaller if we are being honest

Never made it to a Circ court.

[brush]

16. What are you giving me a hard time for? The OP asked why the Dems on the committee...

didn't raise certain points so I wanted he/she to understand much info was suppressed by the repugs.

I edited my post so it should be end of story.

[AncientGeezer]

18. Not giving you a hard time...just clarifying the record

[Hortensis]

3. Bluestarone, they WERE. Please don't imagine we have

secret sources not available to our senators on the front line of this battle. A huge function of the hearings was to inform the public.

Btw, all hearings are available in their entirety on line, in both video and transcript forms.

[bluestarone]

5. I guess i missed that sry here

I heard nothing on MSM about this.

[Hortensis]

6. GOOD observation! Imo, very on point.

Many in the MSM are honest and what we need them to be, but virtually all big sources are infiltrated by agents of ultrawealthy interests, including management. Including as outstanding examples all three political cable networks.

[bluestarone]

7. So true i guess!!

Sure would love to hear MORE of this on MSM The public needs to hear this shit EVERYDAY!!!!

[fallout87]

9. You mean the debt thing?

Maybe our senators looked into it, and there's nothing there? We have more than competent representation on that committee. I'm not going to start second guessing them.

[MiniMe]

12. That is what was behind all the"committee confidential" items

The Senators knew about it, but couldn't talk about it at hearings. Very clever Grassley.
