Kavanaugh Confirmation

[Orange_Crush]

I'm not crying over Garland, I'm just not forgetting. Did Ford make any claims about being used or abused by the democrats? Did she show any animosity toward DiFi and the way the information was handled or mishandled? The circus atmosphere could have been easily avoided by just postponing the vote as soon as the allegations became public. Simple......the repubs were well aware they were creating circus by forcing the vote.

They could have been avoided by starting the investigation six weeks earlier. But that's not the end, it's the means. It's never been about right or wrong. It's always been about delay. That's it. It's dirty politics. Nothing more. Nothing less

Not a heavy drinker? Yale classmates call BS.

This strawman is pretty impressive in how often it's cited. Kavanaugh repeatedly said that, at times, he had too much to drink. Saying that he never blacked out is not the same as saying he never got drunk.

 

[1972 Grad]

The cop was posing as a consenting adult, correct? Was the charge solicitation or attempted rape?

I think these libs are homophobes.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Wow. So has there ever been any proof that Kavanaugh was buzzed while working? Why are these attacks of the mans personal life taking place?

If we all got judged by our drinking habits in college none of us would have a job.

I don't have one now.

It's really beside the point... It is ridiculous that he was allowed to serve out his term after that. And I'm glad that Franken resigned. This is an important high road to maintain.

And I don't think that Franken should have been forced out. I said that on here when it happened.

So you think solicitation between two adults being treated as a crime is a good thing? I am learning a lot.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I guess my real question is this. What in his judiciary or professional history, has ever been brought up that would even question his nomination?

As did I. (And i can't stand the guy.)

He didn't resign voluntarily. He was a symbol; a scapegoat. Funny that has all gone away WRT to Ellison.

Because there is no real standard as to what a "heavy drinker" is, I don't think this is a perjury issue, as some argue. But it is clear he was trying to minimize his drinking and neuter his sexual innuendo and debasement of Renate in the yearbook, because all of that would support the interpretation that he's the type of guy who could get rip-roaring drunk, assault somebody and not remember it in the morning.

 

[NorthDallas40]

You need to let the Renate thing go too. Even she has denied any of it was sexually related and there is no other offered explanation, just a bunch of wild ass speculation.


But that’s the play. Keep on the steam with the wild ass speculation and smear and try to sell it to people.

wow - guess we should look into Ford and Ramirez's drinking history to really get to the bottom of this

 

[Carl Pickens]

You are in real estate?

This property kind of fell in my lap.

Where's your property bro? 30 acres sounds like a nice place for a cough cough lab

Innuendo and debasement? Good grief, it doesn't actually say that she or they did anything. It very well could be a juvenile reference, but my yearbook is filled with worse and I was pretty boring.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

300 opinions to go through it it wasn't enough. So that tells you nothing in there to really rail on. Must persecute character when he was a minor. That is the true measure of a man.

 

[luthervol]

Ends justify the means.

Is it your contention that ends never justify the means?

 

[Carl Pickens]

I was debt free at 43. I guarantee you that there is NO ONE on this board that would live in the house in which I currently reside and have for the last 20 years.

Trap house?

 

[Weezer]

Or maybe, just maybe, there is truth to their allegations.

The Dems don't care if there's truth to the allegations. They kept them hidden for weeks, then refused to participate in the committee's attempt to investigate. They're not interested in the truth, just how they can use this to their advantage.

 

[InVOLuntary]

This is just another example of your parties liberal fascism. You don't see conservatives going around painting crap on democratic offices. I'm sure you're fine with it. You are a disgusting person.

My question to you, and others, was "does the end ever justify the means?"

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Is it your contention that ends never justify the means?

So you are in line with the Democratic Partys new mantra of guilty until proven innocent?

 

[luthervol]

Of course not. Not in the least. That would be a horrible precedent.

NO ONE in politics can claim the high road.
