Maybe it’s something he legitimately believes in.  And his grief for his daughter is what motivates him. It couldn’t possibly be that could it ? 

Pretty gross the way you’re trying frame this dude. 

I get you’re a gun guy man.  Some people believe in their cores that the 2nd amendment is bullshit.  Or at least that the current circumstances as a result of the existence of the 2nd amendment are.  You can disagree.  But you don’t need to pretend that they’re insincere. 

He was not there to just get to known Kavanaugh and introduce himself. If anything, Feinstein used him as a prop. He is passionate about his cause and that’s fine. He has also, voluntarily, put himself into the national spotlight for gun control. He’s not immune to the backlash that comes with it. I’m not belittling his grief of losing a child. I’ve been through it myself so I know the feeling.

No MT, that’s exactly what Jason is saying.  He’s saying that he’s trying to make a scene to score points with the anti gun crowd because he has political ambitions.  That’s exact what Jason is saying.  

A terrible take. 

Not political ambitions. Political motivations. Seriously, read his twitter page. He flat out stated he was going to DC to do whatever he could to prevent his conformation 

[Jason]

 I think we can all agree that a supreme court confirmation hearing is not the appropriate place for the nominee to have a conversation about gun control with a private citizen 

[Rico]

Wait, someone in that room had a political agenda?

After the way he was treated (read: intimidated) and with all the crazies screaming and disrupting the hearing earlier, he may have felt hyper-alert at a stranger approaching him, unexpected and completely out of the ordinary routine. I would have moved away too if I were him.

am i the only one wondering how a complete stranger was able to get that close to a SCOTUS nominee at his hearing? seems like there should be better security for this, especially given how much lunacy there was from the audience (and dais) yesterday.

 He was a guest of Senator Dianne Feinstein

The circus courts such as the 9th circus court of appeals will have alot of work to do throwing out state laws if certain SCOTUS decisions are reversed.

The appeals courts will probably be the ones throwing out state laws regarding abortion.

Blue states could prepare by legalizing abortion on a state level.

Red states will be wasting alot of money banning it on the state level to only have to thrown out by another court.

She's trying to score points with the new left.

To some they consider Feinstein to be too conservative. What a sad world when Feinstein is being told She's not a Liberal.

Its like when Barry Goldwater said the new right considers him to be too liberal.

No legal scholar at all, but i think its just more propaganda.  
No the constitution doesnt specifically mention the word privacy, but many other legal case work does.  Even if RvW were overturned on those grounds, there has simply been to much case law regarding the subject for the entire thing to do a 180 overnight. 

it's a bullet point that's used to scare the masses. if somehow RvW was overturned, i think you'd see all 50 states act quickly to come up with their own version of it.

I love SCOTUS nominee hearings because they make senators sound dumb.

i get that but my question is more about how physically close he was able to get to the nominee. it would be akin to me going to an angels game and hoping over the wall by the dugout so i could shake hands with trout after he comes off the field.

I'm guessing someone with authority,  in regards to security, allowed it.

My thoughts exactly. 

[Lhalo]

These proceedings should be closed to anyone other than the Senators, press, the nominee’s family/friends and school children on field trips. Everyone else can watch it on CSPAN.

Screenwriter and producer.

Mrs. Doubtfire was her big hit.

Basically, though i doubt it ever would as the argument that the word itself inst in the constitution was basically ignored in the first place.

[Jason]

Booker’s attempt to make himself look good for 2020 is pathetic 

 

[Blarg]

Kamala validating the idiotic outbursts from the protesters they brought in to disrupt the meeting is farcical. These really should be closed door to the public but broadcasted unedited. 

[Tank]

i think she's looked like a giant tool so far. she interrupted the opening statement by the chair tuesday trying to shut down the hearings, and it's just gone downhill from there.

[Schildog]

It's stupid to have it open to the public but the fact it's massively pissing off blarg and all the other Republicans here is hilarious.
