And that's fine. However, you got a conservative judge that looked to the law, not party platform, when deciding on taking up a case.

Isn't that what we want?

What's the discussion about? The dastardly, unmitigated gall that Brett executed judicial independence?

Indeed. And let's be honest, very few people even have a clue what this case is about, since most people don't even read past the headlines anymore. They see "Planned Parenthood" in the headline, they see that the SCOTUS ruled in their favor, and they jump off from there. Fortunately, the SCOTUS proves again that it's not about headlines over in the judicial branch, despite partisans on both sides (JSO included) trying to make it that way.

So you're talking about extreme wing nuts and we're talking about your run of the mill liberal. Are you starting to see this a little more clearly?

Well, JSO is a wing-nut, so it's very possible he can't see this.

So I'm reading now that folks have brought up ethics complaints for how he acted at the hearings so they can try to impeach him. Never mind that nobody can find a single thing wrong with what he's done on the SCOTUS as a justice.

He overreacted to a few things at the hearing, but it seems like Libs are trying to play the "two for flinching" game now. Yes, he overreacted... to one of the worst witch hunts I've ever seen. :ohno:

I don't think there's anything impeachable about it but he did not handle himself well. If you want to look back at an appointee who handled himself well under attack, look at Robert Bork. Since he didn't get confirmed I guess you can say maybe he should've done things differently. But I don't think so. Bork was not dealing with a completely sycophant Republican Senate like Kavanaugh was. In fact a Republican was very prominent in shooting him down.

But Bork faced up and answered questions directly and honestly. He did not pander. At all.

Plus all of us who are objective know that Kavanaugh probably DID do what Blasey-Ford said he did.

:lol: And everyone I know who PERSONALLY knows Kavanagh says he probably did NOT do what she said. Only one person I know in the area who knows one or both of them sides with her story. There were a LOT more stories of HER outrageous behavior in HS. :nod:

But glad you know him. Just like you knew the Duke lacrosse team.

Ok. So I can see that some of you are in denial.

Come on, John.

There was not a single piece of evidence corroborating her story, and even her friend, said to be a witness, threw her under the bus (about as gently as possible, but still ...)

Sure, he may have done it, but if you are "sure" he probably did it, then you have an agenda.

What concrete evidence do you have to support your claim that "Kavanaugh probably DID do what Blasey-Ford said he did"? 89 has heard from people that knew both of them at the time and while it's anecdotal it's significantly more solid than anything you've presented to the contrary.

You have really jumped the track this time. You have posted some outlandish things, this one certainly makes your top 10, your idea has no basis in fact.

:dunce: Ford couldn’t remember how she got to the alleged party. She couldn’t remember when it allegedly happened. She couldn’t remember where the house was it happened. She couldn’t remember who was there. She couldn’t remember how she got home. There was no corroborating witnesses. Her story had more holes than Swiss cheese.. :lol: There’s ZERO shred of evidence that Kavanaugh did what Balsey Ford accused him of. NONE.

In denial of what? An allegation from a woman from 30 years ago with no corroborating evidence, no witnesses, a lot of questionable holes in her memory, while a LOT of folks spoke up on his behalf... :coffee:

I'm in the camp that something probably happened but it's being mis-remembered or it occured by someone else.


But, how many non gang-rapes and/or sexual assaults have witnesses?
