There's Nothing Sacred About the Number 'Nine'

Brett Kavanaugh may be confirmed this week and by Monday sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

If that happens and when the next Congress takes office in January, there will be an immediate investigation by the U.S. House into the FBI's so-called investigation this week into Kavanaugh as Democrats will re-capture the gavel and chair all the House committees and therefore have subpoena power.

It's clear the White House limited the scope of the investigation and while the FBI interview notes may be confidential, any directives the FBI was given by the White House are not.

Democrats might not be able to work up to 67 votes in the Senate for impeachment in the next 6 years.

And if not, President Joe Biden should pack the court. Only 50%+1 in each chamber of Congress would be needed to pass legislation expanding the Supreme Court to 11.

There's nothing sacred about the number "nine."

When one uses “It’s clear” it’s followed not by something factual but what the writer wants readers to believe is fact.

The House Dems next year should demand to see the "scope" letter.

That should [i]clear[/i] up any doubt.

Everyone should listen the to words Flake used about the investigated he wanted. What occurred exceed what he asked for. If Flake is satisfied end of story. @beckyromero

Collins and Murkowski need to be satisifed as well, unless Manchin and/or Heitkamp go sideways.

@jackjjackson

It appears Collins is leaning "yes" based on her comments moments ago (10:30am CDT).

If Democrats can't defeat her in 2020 over this, they should maybe pack up and go home.

Defeat her who in 2020? @beckyromero

Sometimes, but only sometimes. At other times it IS followed by something factual.

When it’s true an author doesn’t have to use such adjectives to try to convince themselves and readers. @NankerPhelge

@jackjjackson Yes, but you know how mighty and mischievous some people are about accepting the truth.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Oh you means the ones that struggle to make up a false truth?@NankerPhelge
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson You know what I mean. The ones who block us when we shove the naked, brutal truth in their dualistic faces the way I love to hammer it home. I have no mercy on trolls.

You’re doing God’s work sir. @NankerPhelge
