Yes this one event is over. What is not over is the overwhelming majority of conservatives/republicans suspending their critical thinking skills in order to justify supporting what's been going on recently as the already completely corrupt Republican Party continues to descend further into a morass of operating through misinformation and intellectual dishonesty.
So on to the next Trump pick - when RBG cashes in or Breyer steps down, how do you see the Dems attacking Amy Coney Barrett? And Raymond Kethledge after that?

Also, now that Gorsuch has been on the SC for over a year, thoughts?

Ah I see - you were making a semantic point rather than a substantive one (as usual)

My principal point remains the same, and valid

Yes, while the democrats ascend to the pearly gates of heaven to sit at the right hand of the father. FFS, they are ALL THE SAME!!! Quit deifying the fucking democrats. They’re just as slimy, just as crooked, just as smarmy, just as politically motivated.

You're such an old, white, man!

Haven't you studied the demographics of this country? Nobody currently under 35, or minority, or female in this country ever drank before they were 21. Well, maybe an autumnal mead, but that's it.

I read this over the weekend & was disturbed. When the Democrats do eventually win the White House back & if they ever get control of both houses of Congress at the same time like the Republicans have now - what if they went with a "pack the court" strategy & increased the number of justices above 9 to re-tilt the court more to their favor?

My wife actually asked me if it's possible that he didn't KNOW it was illegal for him to drink in high school. She explained that she never did it so she didn't know. I told her I DID drink illegally in high school and there is no way you would be doing it without knowing about it because the fact that it is illegal means you have to come up with strategies for getting alcoholic beverages when it's not legal for you to buy them. Fake IDs. Getting someone older to buy it for you. That sort of thing.

The guy clearly and unequivocally showed that he was willing to lie in order to get confirmed when he came up with that "it was legal at the time" nonsense. This is not the sort of thing that is reasonably debatable.
Quit whining, John. You ended up getting a Justice who is far closer to your (claimed) originalist philosophy than anyone Hildabeast would have picked. Merrick Garland ‘s opinions show that he was in the philosophical pocket of organized labor and the administrative state. So count your blessings.

From USA Today..........Link

For Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, falling asleep at the State of the Union address is nothing new. All it takes is a good glass of wine.

As she did two years ago, Ginsburg admitted Thursday night that, yes, the photos of her appearing to nod off at President Obama's big speech last month showed her dozing. "As I often do," she said.

But there was a good reason, she added: "I wasn't 100% sober."

Sanity Check:
Everything I've been able to read about Kavanaugh suggests he's actually a pretty good selection
This is what seems to be lost on this whole process
Even if he's a drunk and an entitled twat - what else is new in DC..?

He seems like a reasonable "judge" all things considered

Had they not filibustered Gorsuch, Kavanaugh would likely have been blocked

so here's to Democrats continuing to do what they need to do

:nod:

Big win for Trump on getting his 2nd SCOTUS selection through...but the real entertainment will be when RBG dies and a left leaning judge is replaced with a right leaning one. I think that battle, and all the related leftist outrage and retardism is going to be truly glorious to watch. I can't fucking wait. :lol:

Do you disagree with the proposition that he lied about that? Do you think someone could've been drinking regularly in high school as an underage drinker and not know he was underage at the time?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
