Did Judge Kavanaugh

[Jhhnn]

From what I remember of reporting at that time, McConnell was recommending that Trump find a new, less polarizing pick--even before the Christine Blasey Ford allegation became public. But ultimately, he was going to hold a hearing regardless of whom the nominee was.

I don't believe Mitch said any such thing, that Kavanaugh's nomination should be withdrawn. Once it was made Mitch just rammed it home, right to the shorthairs. Kavanaugh has been groomed by the GOP for a very long while. I'm confident he'll provide satisfying votes well into the future.

The conservative minority's ruling in the census question case was purely political, for example, as were the reasons for wanting to ask it. They didn't care that the admin had been lying to the federal judiciary all along, either. They'd have rewarded that dishonesty.

Hey Dumas, all they had was 2 unnamed sources. The guy that made the accusation refused to be questioned by the FBI and the Senate (penalties for perjury you know) and the alleged victim has no memory of the alleged incident.

I'm sure that's what your conservative news feed told you but that doesn't make any of it true.

 

[theeedude]

You need 67 votes in the Senate to impeach, but only 50+1 vote to pack the court. Why even waste time talking about impeachment?

 

[pcgeek11]

Not a jail cell, at least from my opinion
Interesting how this appointment got rushed thru and now Kavanaugh pays the price.
Him yelling at Congress didn’t help either.

I think I would lose my cool too if I was falsely accused the way he was smeared.

 

[pcgeek11]

Then you are a very large idiot.

I feel the same about you...

 

[pcgeek11]

It's always funny to watch right wing people say that they secretly really want to vote for Democrats but the Democrats are always too mean or terrible in some random way that prevents them from doing so.

I wish you guys would just admit you voted for Trump because you wanted to. Yes it's shameful but just own your shame!

I voted for Trump because I wanted too.

I've said it before...


Feel Better?

All I know is if a job candidate was yelling at me during an interview and my boss forced me to hire him, he better be the greatest and best behaved employee in history.

 

[dawp]

Quite true, but we’re past the nomination process. This is sour grapes and political maneuvering. It seems that both Trump and some of the Democrat noninees relish the idea of SCOTUS seats being a focal point for 2020.

not if it can be proven, which is a big hurdle, that he perjured himself to get the seat on the court.

All I know is that if a candidate made it to the final round interview, and members of the interview committee suddenly decided to attack his character and start bringing up social media allegations of things the candidate did in high school, I would question the motives of my interview committee.

Good. Go get another fucking job if you don't like it.

He accepted the job offer.

You would be surprised that the interview committee brought up credible allegations of sex crimes by multiple people during their only time to interview you?

That’s pretty weird.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Did he get a car allowance?

Don’t Justices get a driver to the court?

Lol, it really wouldn't have mattered, kavanaugh was their guy, that's it.

I find it weird that people are so vested in who gets the position that they perceive as credible accusations that are not, and I would question their sincerity considering they previously let a credibly accused rapist onto their bowling team because he would help them win the big tournament.

Yea, it's totally weird, like how republicans totally didn't wanna vote for a self professed serial sexual assaulter for POTUS but did so anyways. Totally weird what's acceptable in some people's eyes.

Are you sure you aren’t projecting here? As far as I can tell the only reason you’re persisting with this is because you have your back up and are too invested in this to admit being wrong.

The accusations are credible, they come from multiple independent sources, and Kavanaugh misrepresented his actions earlier in life in his defense of them. That indicates he also realizes his behavior was problematic, otherwise he wouldn’t feel compelled to lie.

and I would question their sincerity considering they previously let a credibly accused rapist onto their bowling team because he would help them win the big tournament.

I would question the sincerity of someone who attempted to equate the requirements for being on a bowling team with the Supreme Court.

Quite sure. The accusations are not credible. All we know is that Kavanaugh was probably a drunk frat boy, may have tried to hook up with a girl in a drunken stupor and may have exposed himself at a party. He is guilty of exhibiting poor judgment at an age when people tend to do just that and at a time where such behaviors were tolerated. He rightfully defended himself in the face of a politically motivated character assassination given that he’s never faced any of these charges at any point in his long political career.

It was an analogy in the spirit of the recent posts. Sexual misconduct, perjury and obstruction of justice is a poor hill for Democrats to fortify as they have no credibility defending it.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

lol, not because this isn't serious or real, but because it will be brushed aside and excused away, whether or not there is any validity to it or not.

And what exactly are your expectations?

Investigations of the crime scene? Getting interviews of people that can recount in full events from 30 years ago?

Do you morons understand how a court system works?

Christ it's a good thing we don't have salem witch trials anymore, you guys would be burning people at the cross left and right.



It's hilarious that the lefties are so drowned in stupidity and frothing at the mouth that you're actually talking about impeaching someone for some supposed events (with no actual evidence) more than the president that has plenty of ACTUAL questionable actions in recent history. But hey - keep bringing that IQ bar lower. You retards never fail to impress.

It’s not that it’s the fact that this guys nomination was jammed thru with little review and little respect shown to “the other side”
I expect to hear similar complaints from you when there is a D majority and my side rams someone thru with minimal review.

 

[zinfamous]

I voted for Trump because I wanted too.

I've said it before...

does that make you noble or something? plenty of people do things "because they want to"...

I have found a perfect metaphor for the Trump voter:

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Lol, it really wouldn't have mattered, kavanaugh was their guy, that's it.

Naturally. Mitch is willing to burn the nation then sell the ashes to Putin so that's not surprising. I have to say that calls for impeachment itself at this time are premature as I see things simply because there ought to be a high bar of evidence to do that for a SCOTUS member as much as any President. We have that with Trump due to the Mueller investigation and what we discovered with Cohen. So rather than head straight for impeachment, the House should have investigations with the possibility of impeachment in mind.

 

[interchange]

Perhaps we should navigate what makes an allegations credible because declaring it is or isn't seems to provide infinite justification for whatever viewpoint.

Actually, I think we should first work on our evidentiary standard to determine credibility. I suggest preponderance of evidence.

 

[fskimospy]

Quite sure. The accusations are not credible.

People with actual experience in sexual assault cases disagree with you.

All we know is that Kavanaugh was probably a drunk frat boy, may have tried to hook up with a girl in a drunken stupor and may have exposed himself at a party.

You’re contradicting yourself. If the accusations are not credible then he didn’t do those things.

He is guilty of exhibiting poor judgment at an age when people tend to do just that and at a time where such behaviors were tolerated.

He’s also guilty of lying about it now, so his poor judgment continues.

He rightfully defended himself in the face of a politically motivated character assassination given that he’s never faced any of these charges at any point in his long political career.

‘Nobody came forth for years’ is a time worn and thoroughly discredited argument against whether or not a sex crime occurred.

He did not rightfully defend himself as it appears that he repeatedly lied about his past actions.

It was an analogy in the spirit of the recent posts. Sexual misconduct, perjury and obstruction of justice is a poor hill for Democrats to fortify as they have no credibility defending it.

What the Democrats do is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether or not Kavanaugh is likely guilty of what we’re talking about.

Sexual misconduct and perjury are both excellent reasons to keep someone off the Supreme Court. Any rational and objective person can see that pretty easily.
