The Judge Kavanaugh Hearings

Last week, I was listening, watching and reading about the United States Senate and the Hearing on the nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, to be an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

I was interested in this hearing because Judge Kavanaugh was already part of our government back in 1998 during the Bill Clinton impeachment. Before I begin I'd like to mention that not all progressives are Democrats and not all conservatives are Republicans.

What Happened?

Senator Kamala Harris of California, questions Judge Kavanaugh on many issues such as Abortion, Women's Rights and the thousands of documents not able to be opened to the public or questioned about. At the end of the hearings, herself and several others became tentative about the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. Some were concerned about his allegiance to a political party more than to the constitution and the democracy that comes with it. Some even wanted to postpone the following hearings after day two of the hearings. Most Democrats are worried he will not help the citizens of this country but become a liability to the people. On the other hand, several Republicans like Senator Rob Portman of Ohio see him as a wonderful friend and a reasonable human. A person with moral values and a great example for the people. Both sides are heard and criticized by the people. One shows compassion and the other side questions the fact if Judge Kavanaugh is even the right man for the job. The whole hearing is about whether Judge Kavanaugh is suitable to be a Judge in the United States Supreme Court. Several progressives are not impressed and do not see any progression with Kavanaugh being a Judge in the United States Supreme Court - even some conservatives. Some like him because they may know him personally or he seems to know what he is doing in closed doors.

Personally, nothing was really answered in the hearings of Judge Kavanaugh but only time will tell.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
