Kavanaugh SCOTUS Thread! Senate Confirms by 50-48 Vote Margin; Kavanaugh Sworn-In

[SAJ!!]

Of course Judge is gamergater, he's a deep, blue blood misogynist, who much like all those men, including the more respectable Kavanugh view the entire world as something that caters to them, (straight white men, and their loved ones of course) and always has, and any attempt to subvert this is met with forceful and hateful resistance.

Judge is throughly a piece of trash. He's Bluto in Animal House with a video camera and Ivy league degree.

Or Stan Gable from Revenge Of The Nerds.

Doing whatever he pleases. Whenever he pleases. And not having to worry about repercussions.

I don't see that as credible. I'd never want my career derailed or stalled over allegations.

You're comparing yourself to a guy who is about to be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice. It's not the same thing.. it's not the same ballpark. He can affect millions of people in various ways with the decisions he makes.

You and me affect a handful of people and it stops there. That's why it's not a dangerous precedent. He should be held to a higher standard.

He would have been confirmed if Feinstein hadn't dropped the bomb at the 11th hour. The Dems were content to roll over and play dead despite all of the weaknesses he displayed as a nominee. The Dems don't do anything to energize their base, they just hope the GOP will do something repugnant enough to get blue voters to the polls.

many dems have the "responsibility gene", which while ideally everyone should have in general, can be a devastating self inflicted wound in politics.

it's like the family that has 2 kids, one of which is not perfect but ultimately reliable etc and the other is the fukk up that everyone makes excuses for

Kavanaugh was a weak nominee but this was potentially the wrong hill to die on. People aren't as on board with "believe women" over all others as CNN would have you think. The Dems could have done a much better job of laying out their case that Kavanaugh is unfit for the bench but they were lazy and didn't push back on a flawed candidate. The GOP would have seized on each and every failing and the Dems would have caved. If they can't even get Kavanaugh out of there what hope do we have when Ginsburg or Breyer dies? They should be fighting these nominees tooth and nail with actual strategy and not hoping that a social fad will win them the day.

You just sound like a guy who is anti-#metoo movement and you're using this as another example to rail on it. First off, nothing the Democrats could have done concerning his credibility would have affected him from getting elected. Republicans do not care as long as he votes the right way. Second, they have been harping on him lying under oath and it has made 0 traction. Third, the sexual assault allegations are very relevant to a guy who will be deciding on numerous gender issues and goes directly at his judicial record and credibility. Fourth, those very same allegations will also galvanize white women who have been shifting away from Republicans. Democrats didn't do anything "incompetent" here except not go as hard on him about lying under oath. And quite frankly, they could not have because they were not even afforded a full investigation and Republicans would not disclose his entire file.

This is so embarassing. The Dems are going to allow a hyper-partisan, likely serial sexual-assaulting, perjuror into the US Supreme Court?

Republican opponent wins in a landslide. Could you even imagine the attack ads?

Democrat (definition) [verb] - the act of consistently snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's nothing the Democrats can do. They have no power. It's the Republicans allowing it. Elections have consequences.

Ford is credible because she quite obviously ran in the same circles as him. She didn't remember all the details but she named the people who were at the party and it's the same people who Bart ran with and who he wrote on the calendar for the July 1st party. She never seen these calendars so that in itself is something that only someone who was there would know about.

Once you are able to put Ford in the same house as him.. that's where it starts to become credible. She also knew where his homie was working that summer, Inside Edition actually visited this guy Tim's house and it matched the description of the house she claims this happened in..

Does this prove it happened? No.. but now let's factor in she passed the lie detector test. Let's factor in that she has told this story several times to people before he was up for nomination. Her counselor has records of it. Also, what does she have to gain.. nothing. She's a doctor, she has a good career, if she's found to be lying under oath it could completely ruin her.

Does all this prove anything? No, but it's not a criminal trial. Then you factor in Bart's rapey letters that he wrote and the yearbook shyt and everyone his friends and former friends have said and he does look like a possible drunken rapist..

Why are we gonna put a possible drunken rapist on the highest court? I don't see this as a dangerous precedent. Never mind his behavior displayed in front of the court, his lying under oath and that it's clear he is partisan

Exactly. If he had nothing to hide, then he wouldn't have to try and paint himself as some choir boy who only went to church and lifted weights. All he had to do was say that he partied hard and that he liked to drink. That he's grown up since then, and is deeply regretful for anyone he may have hurt along the way. Except he doesn't. He keeps lying because he has something to hide. He did do rapey shyt. He was all about all of the immoral things that conservatives are hypocrites about. And he probably is, because Amy "Tiger Mom" Chua is allegedly grooming women for him. Quote "The Guardian reported Thursday that multiple sources claim that Chua and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, offered inappropriate advice to students hoping to win prestigious positions as clerks for Kavanaugh. She reportedly told her students that it’s ”no accident” that Kavanaugh’s clerks “looked like models,” and offered advice to dress in an “outgoing” manner for interviews. Rubenfeld reportedly told a prospective clerk that Kavanaugh liked a certain “look.”" He's probably still doing his Yale DKE party frat house shyt.

Indeed, they do

This.
Disqualifying candidates who haven't been convicted of any wrong doing is a dangerous precedent whether he's a good guy or a bad guy.



Sadly someone just linked a poll showing majority of Dems would not vote for someone who has simply been accused.

So you would be fine with Chief Justice Orenthal James Simpson?

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

When and where did I defend his judicial record? Stay on track. What makes the Ford and Ramirez claims highly credible? I'm not asking that in a facetious manner, I really want to know your opinion.

-ford reported the assault before he was trumps final pick, when he was on the shortlist. it shows she had a specific reason to be concerned about his nomination rather than a conservative justice in general.
-the date on kavanaugh's own calendar listed a gathering with the people ford listed as being at the party.
-ford didnt claim to have perfect memory of everything she was questioned on. totally reasonable given the amount of time elapsed.
MOST IMPORTANTLY
-kavanaugh clearly lied about things like renate alumna, his own drinking habits and the yearbook terminology. calls into question his entire testimony.
the ramirez claim is credible in part because of character descriptions from kavanaughs roommate at the time which are favorable to her account.

i think what you meant by the "good judge" thing was that sexual misconduct allegations could potentially hurt a future candidate who is otherwise a good candidate. if that situation is similar to this one then i hope that would be the case

 

[Mac Milli]

I've already move on. I'm no longer emotionally invested in this shambles.

I'll be very surprised if he is not confirmed.

I'm more so worried about how the Republicans will retaliate. I just see them going tit for tat with allegations. I agree with you in principal but practically you have to remember who we're dealing with here.

didnt republicans disqualify merrick garland?...merrick garland didnt have any allegations against him...what do poll numbers look like when you ask republicans if merrick should be on the supreme court?

If Dems had wanted the gambling debt stuff investigated wouldn't it have needed Republicans to get it done?
