No, it's not.

And that notwithstanding - Bart absolutely FAILED the second part of his interview.

Neither should Bart .
Who is Bart? Kavanaugh's first name is Brett.

The last time you had an interview were you slandered and were you, your family and career placed in jeopardy? Did you receive death threats? Did they bring in someone to state false accusations?

Ask his good friend Mark Judge who Bart O'Kavanaugh is.

No, I didn't receive death threats. Ford did.

I didn't have someone testify falsely against me. Ford did.

And yet she managed NOT to have a tantrum worthy of a two year old that missed his nap.

You people need to get your stories straight. Or people will soon stop listening to you.

Oops, too late.


The usual far-left accusations. With the usual complete lack of proof or evidence.

Let me guess: "anonymous sources" told you these things, right? Or maybe you just made them up while brushing your teeth this morning. Pray tell.
You conveniently omitted this part:

Once again (and as many times as I deem necessary), that hearing was NOT a "job interview"! the "interview" portion was OVER! That hearing was, IMO, a blatant attempt at "GUILTY until you prove you are innocent", a railroad job if there ever was one. Sure, it supposedly was an attempt to get at the truth, but we all knew it was an exercise in futility because neither side had any real proof. No evidence at all!
Again, IT WAS NOT A JOB INTERVIEW! It was a futile attempt to railroad a good man on the flimsiest of evidence: She said it happened; no witnesses, no evidence, no police report ever filed. If she had presented her testimony in front of a Grand Jury in D.C., she would have had to go West of the Mississippi to get away from the laughter!


By the way, who is "Bart"?

Never. Thomas was angry and hardened by what he went through w/Anita Hill, who was certainly telling the truth, and become more dogmatically far right over the years. Not that he's contributed anything to the court. He is clearly the GOP's bow to diversity. Further, I've always believed he is a black man who wished he'd been born white. The chip on his shoulder and psyche is deep.

NEVER WILL KAVANAUGH BE IMPARTIAL.

He will be Thomas redux - only far more angry and active.

Remember what he said - "what goes around, comes around."

No, Kavanaugh will never be a swing vote. Never.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

As I've repeatedly stated, a 36 y/o allegation should never have been made public - many teenagers and college kids are stupid - and shouldn't be made to pay for it their whole lives.

The process has been ugly.

That said, had this irrelevant allegation not been made public, we would never have learned of what Kavanugh is truly made.

Pettiness, entitlement, extreme r-wing bias. He will be a stooge for Trump and r-wing ideologues.

He is clearly not a big enough man of character or integrity to put this behind him.

Would that the Senators heed Justice Stevens' words.

When you pick your fight be careful. This idiocy is going to backfire, all right. On the Democrats. When you elevate to the highest level in the land a decades old accusation from someone obviously needing to see hr Psychiatrist, AGAIN, and has memory LAPSE, AGAIN, and back it up by third party hearsay and references to people that were never there, you pay.

No matter your political vent, if I was anyone slightly left of Dick Cheney I'd be scratching my head on what anyone with a law degree was thinking. And your sex doesn't matter.

The fight should have been long before this basket case, case. And it should have been called out long ago, IF we had any real "journalists' left in North America.

Unlike the current Mueller investigation that has no parameters, and anything that comes up, gets investigated and charges if needed.

It was a job interview. It allowed the world to see how off kilter and maniacal and partisan Kaveno is.

Even retired Justice Stevens thinks he's not appropriate for the court.

Oh look.... Fox News:

Years ago in the early nineties before digital media really got going the State Of Washington aired this "Human Rights" complainant that SOMEHOW made it all the way to a televised State Capital hearing. She was quite obviously by then a complete whack job.

Have we come to the process meaning more than the evidence?? The use of the process as a "vehicle" to character assassinate? I have to 'splain this somehow to my kid, and I have a US poly sic. degree, and I'm reaching...…..
