Can't they move on already? :huh:

Actually, maybe they were triggered by seeing her on Murphy Brown.

It's very telling that it's only corruption if the other side does it. E.g. GWB's administration used private email servers (with lots of emails from the run up to the invasion of Iraq that were subpoenaed "lost"), so does the Trump administration, and Trump is still using his unsecured cell (unless that's changed in the meantime).

Trump should be in a secure cell.  Probably a padded one.

I would love to see him stuck in Sisyphean hell where he is dragging bags of ill gotten gains up a hill only to have all of the money fall out by the time he reaches his destination and as such have to regather it and begin again.  That would be glorious. :)

That's silly. AG also requires Senate confirmation.

I suppose that in theory, someone could be considered qualified to be Attorney General but not qualified to sit on the Supreme Court.  Well, forget theory, look at practice.  Anybody think that Bobby Kennedy would have been confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice if JFK had nominated him for that position instead of picking him as his AG?  And we've had other AG who wouldn't have ever been considered for the Court, much less nominated or confirmed.  But that's a bit besides the point, because the question with Kavanaugh isn't his formal qualifications.

I wonder if they really don't understand how people get elected and the scrutiny candidates go through during their nominations and general elections.

Can we then submit Kavanaugh to and up-or-down vote of the people?  Him against Merrick Garland.

He has to ad lib on the names sometimes, but he remembers all their faces.
