Dear diary, today I was not at a party. My friend Mark went and felt up willing and drunk bitches. I am glad I stayed home to shop for pricey hockey tickets instead!

So are you saying you didn't watch any of the hearings at all? Your assumptions would explain a lot if you're just getting your info from MSNBC or CNN.

That's another reason I think the story is bullshit. Most women do not want to come forward, because they do not want that to happen to them. So the Democrats basically created a situation where women are less likely to come forward. They don't actually care about women. They care about being in power.

Even 4-term dictator-for-life president Franklin Delano Roosevelt couldn't get court packing done. Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower and Truman appointed 4 justices each. Trump already has two done, and he will probably have more. If he is re-elected, I would say he has two more in the bag.
Steve_American wrote:If they uncover convincing proof that he lied under oath, they can send a Bill of impeachment to the Senate. If the Senate does not "convict" and remove him from office, then (as soon as they control the Gov.) they can pass a simple law to add justices to the SC.
The problem is that there are no
material lies. Trying to make a case that "boofing" or "devil's triangle" means something other than what Kavanaugh said isn't material to whether or not he attempted to rape Blasey-Ford at some non-specific date, time and location. The reality is that if you tried impeaching him on a material commission of a crime or malfeasance of office, not only would he not be removed by the Senate, the Democrats would likely be punished by the voters.

That's precisely the problem the establishment is facing. The American people aren't cool with their games anymore.

I think that's what the Democrats are concerned about.

Yes.
Kaiserschmarrn wrote:As far as I know, nobody went back to see if she ever made any juvenile jokes, and neither did it count against her that all her online presences were apparently scrubbed before she came forward.
Yes, and everybody knows that she was trying to scrub her public statements from public scrutiny in view of this hearing, which suggests a little more than someone who just wanted to come forward to tell their story.
Kaiserschmarrn wrote:Furthermore, plenty of people who have known Kavanaugh for a long time, including women and a former girlfriend, have vouched for his good character. That must surely work in his favour, yet we are supposed to ignore this and concentrate on yearbook entries and ice throwing.
Yeah, it seems that every bit of character testimony supporting Kavanaugh gets disregarded by this lot. The problem for them is that he was well known in Washington. He knew Susan Collins, Justice Kennedy, Elena Kagan, etc. So it's just not believable that this stuff wouldn't have come out sooner.
Kaiserschmarrn wrote:Overall, the fact that we are talking about obscure inside jokes by a group of friends from over three decades ago just shows how weak the case against Kavanaugh is.
Weak? It's pathetic.

Tell us all about it Godstud! Did you cross swords with one of your friends and another girl? I thought Canadians were so super progressive that nothing like that would ever transpire in Canada.

Just two other examples of names of Beer Pong rules....
Mr Kavanaugh loved his beer too you know. You can't have this both ways.
These people are pretty sore losers. Most people Kavanaugh's age probably wouldn't want to be subjected to a line of question of the things they did while drunk in high school, college, or even their young adult life.
Godstud wrote:You have a vote, for a President. You do not have a vote for a SCOTUS. Stupid comparison.
People voted for Trump in part, because he named a list of people he wanted to appoint to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh was on that list. So voters knew before the election what they could expect from Trump in terms of court appointments. The Democrats paid a very high price for Obamacare. Losing Congress in 2010 was a huge mistake. ObamaCare was definitely not worth this. Especially when you consider how many court appointments Trump has had so far.
colliric wrote:So a President that loves Beer and Beer Games(because he also played Beer Pong most likely) isn't a bad thing, but somehow if it's a SCOTUS appointee he is disqualified for liking the exact same shit the former Presidents (including Bill who also famously loved both Beer and McDonalds) liked.
Obama admitted to smoking pot and dabbling with cocaine, and he became president. That's why it's so mystifying that these people think they have some sort of meaningful issue here.
Godstud wrote:What you continually fail to recognize, is that a SCOTUS is a life-time position.
So what? I think people do recognize that. Congress can impeach SCOTUS judges.
Drlee wrote:I love the conservatives on this one.
Kavanaugh should be a Supreme Court Justice because he "might" not be an attempted rapist with a drinking problem.
Love it.
So you are not including yourself among them. Are you finally coming out of the closet and admitting you aren't a conservative?

Because no one would ever want to make judgements about someone today based on what they did years ago. Or so I've heard.
If they lie on their immigration forms, they are illegal.
Here's to Brett Kavanaugh!
