Not sure about that, but what a insane system where the facts of a teenage sexual assault allegation are argued by geriatric and partisan politicians on live tv. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows Lyndsay fucking Graham to take the moral high ground! Jesus wept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Even if the allegations are false, he's shown with his conduct that he's absolutely not qualified to be an actual Supreme Court justice for the next 25+ years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no chink in the republicans in the committee though. They seem like they're lined up right behind him - and are willing to push it through. There's probably a sense that the midterms are going to be shit for them anyway so they might as well push this confirmation through come hell or high water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She asked to be kept anonymous, but I agree the Dems were being cynical by using it to try to stall the nomination until after the midterms. The Republicans stalled the Democrat nominee for a year before Trump, so they thought it was fair game. I doubt he'll get nominated, but putting private sexual disputes on a reality tv show with unqualified politicians being the judges just seems perverse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They openly stalled an entire presidency, never mind a supreme court pick. The whole thing has been OJ levels of fascination. Incredible stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) This could all quite easily have been investigated properly by the fbi if the gop weren't so desperate to.push him in before November Edited September 27, 2018 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. In the court of public opinion, I’m not quite sure if that could have gone any worse for the Republicans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has to go through the full Senate. Would only take a couple of dissenters to kibosh it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Quote In the silence that followed, you could hear Republicans gasping for air as they calculated the political cost of this nomination. What was larger? The number of votes they were losing among women versus the number of votes they would lose among Trump fanatics by putting this flatlining nomination out of its misery. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/27/brett-kavanaugh-credibility-devastating-hearing The Trump fans will take almost any political hit to get an anti abortion pro gun bum on the bench. The Senate will push Kavanaugh through because dropping him on a womans word against his own would be toxic for their base. Whether moderate voters look at this as a plague on all their houses or are more motivated to throw a brick through the window of the Trumpification of US politics will become clear in November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I fucking love the New Yorker. Almost all these "live" stories on the papers websites like The Grauns MBM are just filler and boring as f**k. The New Yorker? Just get yer staff to come up with short, sharp opinion pieces analysing the day's happenings. They were on fire yesterday.https://www.newyorker.com/news/current 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
