They are left or right leaning but not rabidly partisan, although I disagreed with Scalia on some significant cases I thought he was fair and a good choice although I would have preferred someone more moderate.
Occasionally Scalia showed a libertarian streak. So he wasn't an authoritarian right winger like we're seeing a lot of these days. "The press is the enemy of the people"? Oy!
Who said Ford was wrong? Beyond Ford there are plenty of reasons not to appoint Kavanaugh, did he sound even handed in the largest hearing of his life, was he controlled and coherent. His resume stinks of partisan politics and he proved he is not capable of being impartial both at the hearing and while he worked for Ken Starr. This is the Federalist Societies guy, they picked him for a very good reason and nothing else really matters
Reasonable Point .....
Have you worked out yet that IF the Democrats had bothered to work on ISSUES instead on baseless "rape"- throwing ice - attempted rape - gang rape , groping ...... all those goofy allegation that have been disproven .....
That they might have done a bit better????????
Here's the Bottom Line ......
The entire Premise of "Guilty until Proven Innocent" just didn't play well with Normal People.
He clerked for Kennedy. Justice Kennedy felt safe to retire and probably hand picked his replacement. I think Kavanaugh is mature enough to make rulings based on laws and not pique.
People cite his court records but I will cite his congressional record which is he believes that this was a hit by the liberals. He is biased, he has no reason to be on the bench and it puts us in a very dangerous precedent to confirm him. Kavanaugh had no business whatsoever even being a floor vote other than party over country. I hate to Scotsman this but I feel that any real American should see that as a ramrod especially when Garland was held for 11 months.

No he acted worse than anyone I have seen and blatantly biased. If he is voted to the court, he will need to step aside from virtually any liberal group case and if he don't, those rulings are tainted if they rule against the liberals 5-4.

If he is Kavanaugh? I would say he is justified in calling it a hit. weeks of accusations and condemnations from ranking party members. All based upon very weak and unfounded accusations. The dems from the start made this very personal.
I am no Kavanaugh supporter. I have no clue if he would be a good SCOTUS. I care that a major political party used the protection of their party's clout to single out and attack and slander a citizen and that citizen has no recourse.
This is troubling and I am concerned that it is so easily accepted in the name of my party wrong or right, ends justify the means thinking. This is how developing nations dispense justice. No different than what we are seeing in the Philippines. Someone need only accuse and that is good enough? Read the many posts on here. The posts before either Ford or Kavanaugh testified.
I did mean Kavanaugh because it was referring to the conspiracy against him in the quoted post from my post.
Is it a hit perhaps. Is it a hit by liberals, I don't know but that kind of comment from a potential "unbiased" judges scares me. The way this country is going is not at all how the founding fathers wanted us to go at all and is why Washington wanted no political parties at all.
Dr. Ford's grandfather was a CIA operative.
Dr. Ford's father runs 3 companies for the CIA.
Dr. Ford herself runs the CIA intern program at Stanford.
The 3 companies that Dr. Ford's father runs are all located in the same bldg in DC. Also in the same bldg is Baker Hostetler Law Firm and Fusion GPS.
Dr. Ford's brother, Ralph Blasey, worked for Baker Hostetler for 15 years.
Baker Hostetler hired Fusion GPS to create the "Russian Dossier" on Trump.
Julie Swetnick worked for one of the companies run by Dr. Ford's father for 12 years.
Coincidence??????
Not surprised. My boy Kavanaugh is gonna kick all they ass.
Ford wants the FBI to interview her.
That ain't gonna be happening.
So I, a CIA will interview her...
So Christine, do you fly in airplanes?

This. If we lose a vote due to a wedding, I predict divorce in two months.

Once this is over, she will be forgotten. And hey, maybe if Kavanaugh isn't confirmed, the Democrats will get something to really scream about. Have fun dealing with Amy Coney Barrett.
Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I thought I was losing my mind or I was smoking crack in my sleep.

Even if this was a political hit, Kavanaugh disqualified himself with his belligerent attitude and multiple lies under oath. The Democrats didn't do that, he did that all by himself. Even Justice Stevens agrees, this guy does not belong on the court.
Not so fast skippy. You can judge judge Kavanaugh by his first hearing then forget every single thing you saw on the sham allegations by the Democrat Senate, then apologize to Kavanaugh, his wife, two daughters, me, then the rest of the world.

I think he should be disqualified for many reasons, people will either believe Kavanaugh or Ford but we will never know the truth because the 3rd person according to her denies any knowledge. I would really like to see the FBI report made public.
