Am I right?
That is what it is coming down to--which ironically is what was sort of implied with marriage at any rate before drunken saps like Kennedy and Bader-Ginsberg got onto the court and decided marriage was all about romantic feelings in spite of the fact that the term "love" is totally absent from the law.

No kidding. Feminists: "Please save us from what we protested to achieve!"

That's why the left is freaking out. They don't breed enough. Mexicans are super Catholic and family oriented and Muslims...well, you know... If liberals wanted liberalism to succeed, they would enforce breeding. Now that they are breeding themselves out of the gene pool--which is a good thing, don't get me wrong--they are freaking out about not being in control anymore. Ultimately, "birth control" means that those who are never born will never be in control.

Yeah, I figured you would go wobbly in the knees with Michael Avenatti trying to get in on the action.

#metoo. Just like they did in 2016.

Three years of debating Trump, and you are still surprise he doesn't quit?

That's the point of the modern Salem Witch trial that is Kavenaugh's Senate hearing. I guess we should call it a warlock trial, since he's a man. What are the proper gender terms for witches these days? What pronouns do they use?
Victoribus Spolia wrote:I don't think this is any more radical than then anita hill hearings especially since we are in a fever pitch environment of political hystertics right now that makes this just another day in the news cycle; whereas, the hill accusations were a legit shock.
They're hoping that it will shock the young kids. We've seen this show already. That's what makes this one a parody of the Clarence Thomas hearings. And back then, Saturday Night Live was still funny.
Victoribus Spolia wrote:Also, Trump doesn't really care what is necessarily "good optics" or "bad optics" and is clearly going with his gut on Kavaneaugh and sticking with it. That takes guts and is not very establishment, he won by doubling-down on stuff so I wouldn't discount his method here.
Me either. Maybe by forcing the issue, it will make Republican senators grow a spine and a set of balls--even the women.
Victoribus Spolia wrote:Further, this whole situation sets bad precedents if the Republicans capitulate, for it will make it that any unsubstantiated and improvable accusation will doom anyone that ever pursues office or any position of power whatsoever so long as they have an (R) by their name; especially with the low threshold being set as to what constitutes a credible accusation and an example of sexual assault.
Spot on. This stuff has to be defeated directly, and Republicans have to come down on one side or another. Do they believe in innocent-until-proven-guilty, statutes of limitations, the right to confront your accuser, etc.? Or are they the kind of people the US military used to shoot and kill like the Democrats have become?
Victoribus Spolia wrote:Because their is no real evidence and this is clearly a political move, thats why.
That's going to become really clear very soon. I'm guessing that Ford never shows up to testify or will refuse to take an oath.
Victoribus Spolia wrote:If Brett resigned, I hope Trump puts up that Catholic babe. I wanted her to begin with even if she is a woman.
Well, by confirming him, maybe Ruth Bader Ginsberg will drop dead and Trump can do just that. Then the Democrats will really freak out. Kagan already fills their Jewish identity bloc. Maybe they'll push for a transgender justice. I think we should put a midget on the court. I just think it would make political correctness funnier.

They didn't conduct a Witch Trial against Merrick Garland. His reputation is just fine. It was a presidential election year in Obama's last term. Traditionally, presidents defer to the next president.
jimjam wrote:When are going to stop having to listen to that simple minded talk show blather about how each and every move by the loyal opposition is just because they lost an election they should have won.
Loyal opposition means being loyal to the country's founding principles while opposing the other party. Throwing out due process, presumption of innocence, trying to require the defendant proceed before the plaintiff, allowing the plaintiff a hearing without a complaint sworn under oath, etc. are all such severe deviations from US norms, that they can hardly be called a loyal opposition. All the same, it is just so much fun to remind everyone that Trump took down Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is a modern embodiment of Perseus who beheaded Medusa.
