The West Wing fantasy was seeing them get shanked by the Republicans. They should try getting some policies and not supporting right wing bills. Turning a he said/she said into a national frenzy doesn't really seem like the right way to create a better society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a mountain out of a molehill of a life judge still feels the need to lie about youthful indiscretions, let alone sexual assault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 See if Kavanaugh had came out and said "the allegations are true but there was no attempt to sexually assault. I saw it as having a laugh and am deeply ashamed of what I done, distress caused, etc. I now understand what my actions seemed like and I'm embarrassed of how I acted all these years ago... I was a stupid teenager..." he'd be alright. Lying about what boofing and the Devil's Triangle are have fucked him right up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fibbing about minor details like that substantiates the possibility of him lying about serious stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly nothing to do with farting, although that could be a side effect in the latter and costly in the former case.

Well, he clearly lied several times under oath (Renate alumnus? Devil's triangle? Ralph club?), though I'm not sure there's the appetite to prove it. While those things might not be big lies, it's a crime. So it's clearly relevant to ask if someone who would lie under oath is fit to be on the Supreme Court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact there is a national debate about what a bunch of teenagers were talking about in their year books 30 years ago is absurd. From "are you now or have you ever been a communist?" to "did you ever whitey at a house party?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you support someone lying under oath to block him? Also he's not been accused of rape. If they are committed to building a better society through the democratic process then they should actually follow it. Undermining the political process is exactly what people like the Kochs want.

Packing the courts with deranged conservatives is what the Kochs want. Maybe you should practice your sudden conversion to leftist politics and support people opposing utter dangers to women being allowed prominent political positions by any means necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually produced some evidence then fair enough but they haven't yet. Instead of talking about boofing they should be talking about how to end life terms on the Supreme Court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
