That's not saying much. Congress has its fair share of folks with criminal records, history of drug abuse, infidelities and failed marriages, and a hotbed of bribery.By all accounts, Kavanugh is as close to a boy scout as you can find in Washington.
Again, that's really not saying much. The fact that he gets praise for such is a problem. Why are your standards so low?Married father, goes to church, coaches his daughters' basketball team, the whole nine yards. Nominated and appointed to numerous important government jobs in the past; thoroughly investigated as part of the process. His co-workers love him. His ex's all say that he is a 'perfect gentleman'.
Although confirmation seems likely, how is a Federal judge potentially not getting one of the most powerful positions in the United States government classify as "life being destroyed?"Squeaky clean record. Yet, his life and career are about to be destroyed by a single, unproven allegation from 36 years ago.
The balance of the Supreme Court has been conservative for the last two decades. Replacing Kennedy doesn't change it at all.Kavanaugh is a conservative judge nominate by Trump. If Kavanaugh is appointed, he will tilt the balance of the Supreme Court towards conservatism for decades. He will be the tie-breaking vote on cases involving highly controversial social issues, like abortion and the Second Amendment. His appointment will, quite literally, have a profound impact of the future political direction of the country.
Insulting her political views does not discredit her testimony.Kavanaugh’s accuser is a liberal, pvssy hat wearing professor from California. She is a registered Democrat, attended anti-Trump protests, and considers herself part of the 'resistance'.
No, that is your incredibly biased speculation, as evidenced by your previous comment. "Liberals" freaked out about Neil Gorsuch, yet no misdeeds were brought against him. Why not pick a better nominee? A real "gentleman?"The liberals have been freaking out about the Kavanaugh nomination and trying to do everything in their power to thwart it. Three days prior to the confirmation vote, the Democrats release the accuser's letter containing an allegation about something that allegedly happened in high school while Kavanaugh was teenager -- an allegation that is impossible to prove as much as it is impossible to disprove. Any intellectually honest person, regardless of their political leanings, can put two and two together and conclude that this is a hit job.
Here's a thought - if you don't rape women, you won't have rape allegations.Yet, Democrat men are perfectly happy to throw Kavanaugh under the bus, even though they could very easily become victims of similar false allegations themselves.
Like I said, if you don't criminally mistreat women, you don't get criminal allegations. It's not hard to not rape women. Just don't do it. You're whining like a ***** about how men you are guilty of sexual misdeeds can't get away with it as easily as they used to.Women stick together and push the narrative that female accusers must always be believed. But men are all too happy to use made up allegations to destroy their opponents, even if, by doing so, they are digging their own graves. Any time you need to destroy a man’s reputation, all you need to do is find a female willing to accuse him of something…anything sexually inappropriate. And if the man is in a high-profile position, his accuser will become an overnight celebrity herself. TV interviews, book deals, countless likes on social media…being treated as a ‘hero’ of the Me Too movement. While I’d like to think that most women would not invent fake sexual assault/harassment allegations to gain celebrity status, there is no doubt in my mind that there are many who would.
The majority of the allegations won't be false, pal. There is no incentive for a woman to throw away her own reputation and career to damage a man just for ****s and giggles. These women have just as much to lose.I predict that there will be an epidemic of false allegations over the next decade…to a point where they will become commonplace as kind of modern day witch hunt. Initially, it will be limited to high profile politicians and celebrities but it will eventually trickle down into mainstream society.
Wrong. If you don't rape women, you won't be accused as such.Any one of you is a potential future victim.
You really have a convoluted mind if you think a women would literally throw her own life away to possibly get retribution on a man from 20 years ago.Any girl you have ever dumped or pissed off for some reason could one day wake up and decide that, for the past 20 years, she has been suppressing memories of some terrible thing you did one night when you were drunk at some party in high school or college. And then she will share her “Me Too experience” on social media. She will get attention, sympathy and many likes. And you will get fired from your job without an investigation or due process. Or worse.
Get out of your frightened bubble and man up.Scary times we live in.
Democrats don't have any power in Washington. Kavannaugh could be nominated and confirmed without a single Democratic vote. Do you not understand this concept? If every Democrat votes no, Kavannaugh still gets confirmed. It doesn't matter squat what the Democrats "call for," they don't control anything. Your grievances are just mindless bitching.I notixe Democrats now trying to change and stall more. Saying crap like don't limit the scope. Don't make arbitrary deadlines. It was Democrats who called for a ONE WEEK investigation.
This was not a criminal court of law. This was a job interview where the applicant blatantly lied and showed naked partisanship for a positiion that is supposed to be non-partisan. It doesn't matter if there is "evidence" for or against Judge Kavannaugh, this was about his qualifications, temperament, and fitness to be an impartial judge.How so? If anything, it validates how our courts operate. If there can be no evidence brought forth, there isnt a case. Period.
If you think for one second the liberals/dems would not have pursued a conviction if they had the slightest bit of evidence, you're wrong. The fact is this: her story was full of holes. Cant remember where it happened? Cant remember when it happened? Cant remember who was there? Her only witness said it definitely didnt happen. What next? Call Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to see what they remember?
There is a thing called due process. There are things that are needed to warrant a conviction. Evidence, witnesses and non contradictory testimony are up there on the list. The Libs failed miserably with their last ditch efforts to gain this seat on the Supreme Court. Although they attacked every angle possible.
Should we hold them on gossip? Hearsay? One person's faulty account of a night they cant remember? Yeah that makes sense. The bottom line is this- there was ZERO evidence to support furthering ANYTHING concerning her allegations. None. Zip. Zilch.
Democrats don't have to "like him." Liking him is irrelevant. They didn't like Neil Gorsuch. But Gorsuch wasn't accused of rape....Why would he? Because you dont like him? Because the Dems dont like him? Again, zero evidence.
That's all Trump supporters are. It's a cult. You're either in it or your a "liberal / socialist / SJW"Our choice of a president certainly backs up those words.
For a bunch of people who think of themselves as independent thinkers, it is absurdly hilarious how conversations like this one turn into one big groupthink circle jerk.
The United States government has no honor in any branch and is not even living up to being an illusion of democracy. The Republican Party is a fascist racketeering organization that steals wealth by exploiting white greivance culture wars and gives to corporate elites. The Democratic Party is the party for anyone else that still thinks the sham of a Democracy can be fixed. Independents are stuck oscillating between which option is less terrible at any given time. It's only a matter of time before it all implodes.The Supreme Court is supposed to have honor as an institution. This debacle dishonors the court. For all of you people talking about there not being a criminal conviction, is that the standard we hold Supreme Court Judges to? If they are not in prison, then they must be a good guy? If that Kavanaugh piece of sh!t had one tiny bit of respect for the court, he would have withdrawn long ago. But his own career is more important to him than service to his country. Putting this piece of human scum on the Supreme Court is a "good versus evil" quest? Whoever believes that drank someone's kool-aid, whether you will admit it or not.
A conservative Supreme Court would not have upheld Roe V Wade, an "assault" weapons ban, and the Individual Healthcare communist mandate.That's not saying much. Congress has its fair share of folks with criminal records, history of drug abuse, infidelities and failed marriages, and a hotbed of bribery.

Dude, your just a liberal hack. The fact you think a minority that is only down by one vote doesn't have sny power shows ignorance on your part. Just because someone has an R next to their name does not mean they are a Conservative.My god look at what politics in this country has devolved to. You people are so clueless about everything.

Also, Kavanaugh did not lie. I havd gone through and looked at all the "lies" liberals claims he told. Turns out only liberals are lying.My god look at what politics in this country has devolved to. You people are so clueless about everything.

You clearly don't understand the purpose of the Supreme Court.A conservative Supreme Court would not have upheld Roe V Wade, an "assault" weapons ban, and the Individual Healthcare communist mandate.
There are 49 Senators that caucus with Democrats. There are 51 Republicans. Is 51 not a majority of 100 votes?Dude, your just a liberal hack. The fact you think a minority that is only down by one vote doesn't have sny power shows ignorance on your part. Just because someone has an R next to their name does not mean they are a Conservative.
Lmao, you're so deep in the cult you can't articulate a logical comeback. "Liberals" have nothing to do with Kavanaugh having multiple accusations of sexual assault and his alcoholism.Also, Kavanaugh did not lie. I havd gone through and looked at all the "lies" liberals claims he told. Turns out only liberals are lying.
Again, you thinking that it is simply Democrat vs Republican shows ignorance on your part. You accuse me of being part of a cult, yet spew a bunch of bluepill bs.You clearly don't understand the purpose of the Supreme Court.

I fully know the purpose of the Supreme Court. It is apparent that you do not.You clearly don't understand the purpose of the Supreme Court.

Kavanaugh's victim has been in therapy her whole life because of his atttempted rape, all with well documented therapist notes. Do you care to spin some nutball conspiracy theory about how she did all that just for this moment? Or will you just admit, like all the republicans should, that he is guilty, but that is ok because he is a shill for the right wing corporate agenda? The goal of making billionaires richer is important enough that we should allow a rapist on the supreme court?So, again, I ask where is the evidence?
Others here have brought up some good valid counter arguments against ur stand.Kavanaugh's victim has been in therapy her whole life because of his atttempted rape, all with well documented therapist notes. Do you care to spin some nutball conspiracy theory about how she did all that just for this moment? Or will you just admit, like all the republicans should, that he is guilty, but that is ok because he is a shill for the right wing corporate agenda? The goal of making billionaires richer is important enough that we should allow a rapist on the supreme court?
None of the "well documented" notes say anything about a specific person, specifically Kavanaugh.Kavanaugh's victim has been in therapy her whole life because of his atttempted rape, all with well documented therapist notes. Do you care to spin some nutball conspiracy theory about how she did all that just for this moment? Or will you just admit, like all the republicans should, that he is guilty, but that is ok because he is a shill for the right wing corporate agenda?

Her going to a therapist does not prove in any way that Kavanaugh assaulted her.Kavanaugh's victim has been in therapy her whole life because of his atttempted rape, all with well documented therapist notes.

Rocket science, huh?LOL if you don't rape women you won't have false rape allegations?
Was Anthony Kennedy, appointed by Ronald Reagan, not a conservative jurist?And the court has NOT been solid conservative. We know from history that it is always the SCOTUS conservatives who are considered wildcards in how they will land in the decisions, but always a forgone conclusion for the leftists on the court, party line everytime.
What part of this being a job interview instead of a criminal case do you not understand?Her going to a therapist does not prove in any way that Kavanaugh assaulted her.
And I wonder why right-wingers love rapists so much.I wonder why leftists hate evidence?
It happens to people who exercise poor discretion.1. So innocent people never get accused of things?
It's not supposed to be. It there to interpret the constitution.2. Does nothing to change the fact that the SCOTUS was not complete conservative in it's rulings.
Why are you so angry despite your rapist still getting his promotion?3. I don't give a fvck what the butthurt leftists want to call it. No evidence at all means he is cool in my book. I wonder why leftists hate evidence?
