That when these docs are reviewed at a time when the Dems take over.....the hidden info can be used to impeach Kavanaugh.

Really think they'll impeach a Supreme Court Justice?

relating to HIS administration. What the hell makes Trump think he can assert it for another president two administrations ago? "Executive privilege" is a made up thing anyway. It's not in the constitution, there is no law creating it, and I don't know if it's been challenged in the courts. If Kavanaugh gets onto the SCOTUS, given his proclivity toward expanding the powers of the presidency, Trump could probably claim executive privilege for everything done in the Executive Branch.

The GOP is up to their usual dirty tricks. First McConnell steals Obama's SCOTUS appointment ("My proudest accomplishment," he said) and now they are withholding the documents that have been available every administration, Democratic and Republican. There must be something very bad in those documents.

Unfortunately, just like withholding Obama's appointment, withholding documents (well, those that relate to Republican appointments) will now have precedent. Of course, if it's a Democratic President who makes the SCOTUS appointment and the Dems try to withhold documents the Repugs will scream holy hell.

This is the reason why there's a desire to clean out the old guard from the Dem ranks.

I hope there is a wait and see, and there's still more to come, but, if Schumer's deal does not come through, I say he needs to respectfully bow out.

I swear, when I saw Lieberman at McCain's funeral I put it together. I said to myself, there were only two times that minorities had to fear in the past. The first, when there was strong tribalism coming from the Right, because minority issues were going to get battered. And the second was when Democratic and Republican Centrists were in full throttle unity, because minority issues were going to get battered.

Period

he meets his end of this stinky bargain.
