    It's interesting about what this has done to the country and to people.

    While he can't control others or the game of partisanship, he is fully in control of his own actions. By using partisan attack based on unconfirmed (conspiracy) theories, he has played an active role in making it worse. He joined the rank of the worse of politicians and if he is confirmed, the Court will take a big step toward the partisan level of the legislative and executive branch. This is damaging to the Court and the country.

    On the other side, by being very vulnerable in her testimony and answers and her nature of accommodation and gentleness, Ford has helped many sexual attack survivors past and future. From statistic of how common sexual attacks are, and the reaction we have seen from survivors, together with the metoo movement, I think this is good for women and others who have and who will become victims of sexual attacks.

    It’s interesting that he chose to lie about juvenile slang and make up the most ridiculous definitions

    Judge Kavanaugh appears that he is not bound ethically or morally to not lie.

    Important Jesuit magazine withdraws its endorsement



    Important question @Os Trigonum : Does this deserve its own thread? Asking for a friend!

    The face of a 53-year-old baby being held to account for the first time in his pampered life. Imagine believing this deceitful little brat redeemed himself with that embarrassing tantrum.

    There is no more appropriate embodiment of privilege and entitlement in society than Brett Kavanaugh.

    When he says "damage teh country" - he means himself and his tiny circle (used to be Renata Alumni, Tobin, and the Ralph club, now it's whoever paid off his Nationals tickets debts and the Federalists and the Girls Basketball team).

    Everybody outside of it might as well not exist or is an active agent pursuing a plot against him.

    I wonder if it will disturb ANYONE that matters in this situation that he repeatedly lied or misrepresented the truth in his hearing on a range of small topics. Basically everything he said about his young adult life, aside from being a good student and athlete, is either provably false or highly improbable to be true.

    proof of traitor George's ignorance.

    for the education of the traitor:

    the GOPers intentionally bypass the rule of law---not wanting to know all the facts---
    avoiding the FBI to get all the facts, including but not limited to interviewing Mark Judge​

    No postpoment. Trump fully controls the GOP now. When you have a mother tell a reporter in front of her two teenage daughters that "groping is not a big deal", then you know that we are living in some kind of crazy twiglight zone.

    If chit like this doesn't galvanize the dems to come out for each and every election at the local, state and national level, then they deserve to lose.

    Meh. If a 17 year old cops a feel (groping) he deserves to be slapped or kicked in the balls, but it doesn't have any bearing on whether they should be eligible for ANY job later in life. If that were the extent of the accusation it wouldn't even be relevant.

    If folks are willing to poo poo this off as a "he copped a feel at a drinking party" they are then accepting the entirety of her story (she was held down, hand over mouth, and groped on a bed). Hard to not consider them ineligible for sitting on the countries highest courts, making decisions involving what constitutes rimes against women.
