Kreepy Kavanaugh

It is the same (in this case valid) pop-psycology that makes the "ledger" sales method work on idiots.

"Ok, on the pros you get a kick-ass new car and an affordable monthly payment as well as the glide-seal top coat and the durastruct rustproofing. On the con side, you don't get to see your mechanic as much!"

Do women that strap on an explosive belt under their burkas have anything to gain? Depends on your belief system I guess.

Its seems there is some wrangtling over the whole FBI thing. Apparently the way I understand it,is that the background check,that was initially done only went back 20 or 25 years. Since the allegations were brought forward afterwords, they're are asking for a further check to cover as far back as at least the 36 years in question. If anyone could shed nymore light on that,great.

Maybe the most recent one, but his first couple (of 6) would have reached high school. He had to have one as a SCOTUS clerk and another when he helped author the Star report. If this was e en a possible rumor, Dems would have used it to discredit the Starr investigation.

The most obvious question about Dems sincerity is what will a few FBI agents uncover that large money, investigators, and news media has not?

If Republicans had more time (ie, if Feinstein had not clotheslines them after the hearings were completely over) it would make sense to have the FBI write up an interview with her and interview the four she named as a political fig leaf. "See, we had the FIBBUES che k it out!"

They do not have the time.

If Kavanaugh (or a replacement) is not Seated on the Supreme Court before October 1st he will not join this session. If he does not join this session all matters before the supreme court that he would be the tiebreaker on are allowed to stand. All of those rings go in the Dems favor since the most overturned cases come from Dem nations like the 9th circuit out of San Francisco.

Additionally, if they do not do it before the midterms, they lose voter enthusiasm, they may lose the Senate either way and the Dems are already on record saying if they get the Senate, no Justices will be confirmed.

I think you make an excellent valid point. I am not trying to vilify the Judge. I am simply sying these things came to my mind initially. Nobody in the room knows what happened so to those ,and you know who you are,get off your opinionated high horse. These rooms aren't supposed to be bully sessions,but God knows some just love playing God in here,they are smarter than anyone in here,and actually think they really know what happened. Lighten up...its just statements and opinions..the real important facts will probably never see the light of day.

You said strap on, I thought cuke would have weighed in by now.

 

[SierraSlim]

Well put,thank you. I was a bit dumbfounded,as I am sure I heard someone during discussion mention 20-25 years. I agree,though...regardless of previous positions he's held,along with corresponding checks,you'd think the FBI,the first time his nom came up,would have gone as far back as the womb,if possible,for a position as high as SCOTUS

 

[KeithD]

Grassley told Durban DURING THE HEARING, that he could have directly asked for an FBI investigation at any time.

Yes, he could have asked, but he has no authority to expect a response. Oh, my goodness, are you just now understanding what a politician can do with the words he uses?

 

[KeithD]

He can ask for whatever he wants, but he can't order part of the executive branch to do anything.

Bingo. Perhaps if Mellow sees it in stereo, Mellow will stop pretending on this point.

I was flippant about your first post, and I apologize.

To your point, "who benefits" (Cui bono, not to be confused with que es bueno) is a perfectly valid component that triers of fact would consider when weighing testimony and thinking about veracity. It is only one part of that process. Some of it is completely subjective like how did they "sound?"

Most senators get there by way of the law a fair number of them have been practicing trial attorneys. I'm sure that generally speaking all of them consider themselves great judges of character and that they are human truth detectors.

In this case though it's entirely possible that both are telling the truth. I happen to think that she's telling the truth as she knows it. His version of the truth is either an outright, bald-faced lie, he does not remember the incident, or he's telling the truth and the incident did not occur in his presense.

Several of the Senators have expressed the opinion (which could be some sort of fig lift it could be wishful thinking or it could be the truth) that this might be a case of mistaken identity. She says no way. What they have to decide is how well they trust her certainty.

FYP

"He clearly is in touch with his feminine side! He could not have done this. There is NO EVIDENCE that he suffers from the sort of toxic masculinity that a boy capable of this atrocity would have been steeped in."

That's his out. As the music comes up and the closing curtain starts to move, Kavanaugh stands at attention and calls out, "I couldn't have possibly done it; I've been gay since I was eight."

And that's how the movie ends--which him pulling on his justice robe as the closing credits roll over him.

To be fair, he is so well-known and his FBI file is probably so thick that I wouldn't be surprised at all if the FBI agents completely half-assed it this time.

If they had missed, say a recent clerk saying he waggled his weinie Willy/Harvey/(Now Brett style?) that actually would trigger an FBI probe now because he and the hypothetical weinee waggee would likely both be Federal employees.

That us what happened with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill.

If he adds, "and I am actually pro-abortion because we have far too many brown babies in this country" he would be confirmed. By the Democrats and RINOS

Lindsey Graham has a lot of nerve whining about partisanship after Garland. Fuck you, Lindsey, you hack. #KavanaughHearings

It is a marvel, the timing, of Graham's squawking.

The thing that guts me about Dr. Blasey's "niceness" is that she has no choice. If she, for one second, betrays that she dislikes the men who tried to rape her or the men trying to defend them, SHE will be cast as the cast as the abusive, violent party in the exchange.

gsgs comment- I watched Dr. Ford juggle the roles imposed on her by the demanding expectations of Republican men. She was self-effacing, humble, beyond polite, congenial, gracious, cooperative.
Desperately honest.

Crushing weight on Dr. Ford, from herself, from others

LILY HERMAN writes


Dr. Ford made a joke about needing caffeine just as the hearing started and after Senator Grassley said the first of many unkind remarks towards her, including questioning her timeline and motives for coming forward.



Towards the end of the first round of questions, as Senator Grassley said that they were going to give Dr. Ford a break, she asked him a question: “Does that work for you?” followed by an explanation of trying to be “collegial.” She followed up more than a few questions with an “I’m sorry.”

What I found so difficult about watching Dr. Ford’s dutifulness to the senators — the moments of levity, the politeness — had absolutely nothing to do with her or her story.

Even if the public does end up feeling like Dr. Ford is “credible enough” — an entirely different travesty where she needs to prove herself and yet Kavanaugh somehow doesn’t — the fact still remains that she had to go through emotional gymnastics to be seen that way. And therein lies a common experience of womanhood.

Add two more people to the long list of ill-informed partisan hacks that do not know why that maneuver is called the Biden rule.

Same people that don't get the connection why both Reid and Schumer made confirmation with a mere 51 votes possible. Had Reid not degraded the Filibuster, McConnell would not have had the stones to call Schumer's bluff on the idiotic attempt to filibuster the quite reasonable Scalua for Gorsuch swap.

Your outrage delights me. May you howl if Kavenaugh squeaks by!
