If you wanted a man who will side with liberals on issues like abortion, then you got what you wanted, and so did the Democrats. You and Dems wanted the same thing.

He also didn't try to rape anyone in the first place although at your age I'm sure there's eternal hope that someone will actually try something for a change.

You only find it credible because you're completely closed minded on the topic due to being extremely politically biased.

Now Kavanaugh is turning out not to be out to slay Roe and you'd think at some point people would recognize they'd been had. I mean they pulled that claim on Roberts too, so you're either young or don't learn from experience.

You probably don't even grasp that the intention of the confirmation circus was aimed not so much at the longshot of derailing Kavanaugh with such flimsy stuff as it was at trying to stir up some #metoo votes for the midterms.

But hey, there will be a democrat in the Whitehouse soon enough and they will replace someone like RBG and the Republicans will come out of the woodwork with the same big bag of tenuous allegations and dirt digging back to teenage years. Then you'll cry and moan about the unfair witch hunt and the right wingers will be equally hypocritical and forget when it was them on the receiving end.
We will see if conservatives do that. They sure didn’t do it all the years of my life, even after the spectacle of the Clarence Thompson hearings or the Robert Borke hearings. The only objections I’ve ever heard them make were regarding past rulings, or qualifications.

Complete B.S.


Good lord! This was thirty years ago! How the hell is she supposed to remember what the day and month of the party was? NOBODY is going to remember details like that! Not you, not I, not her. I couldn't possibly remember the day, month and often year of parties I went to some 30 years ago! Once again, the fact you are expecting her to remember things like this which no normal person can possibly be expected to remember proves you are LOOKING for excuses not to believe her.
I EXPECT her to remember basic things like date and location because she EXPECTED her accusations to prevent an innocent man from being appointed to the Supreme Court. Had her accusations prevented him from being appointed his career was basically shot and his family would have been left in shambles. Her motives were clear to everyone, she was being used by Democrats as a pawn to achieve a political goal of preventing what democrats and liberals were/are convinced was an ultra conservative judge from being appointed to the SCOTUS. Conservatives knew that was BS, Kavanaugh has an impeccable record on the bench and he's a great judge. This ruling proves without a doubt that he's exactly what we said he was and that democrats were wrong.

I wanted a judge who would follow the US Constitution whether the ruling supports my personal political agenda or not, that's exactly what I got.

We’ll see. I think a Justice Roberts will be keeping a close watch on him for a time.

Yet another failed Democrat predicted Armageddon. You would think after this happening over and over again their supporters would wise up, instead they give excuses. Wait for it, soon the media will tell them what to parrot.
Well their smear tactics worked against Judge Robert Bork, so they try it periodically with other moderate/conservative nominees to the federal bench.

You won this thread. Corporatists are looking for more CU, Autodesk, Epic Systems, Leegis etc type decisions.

Once again, this PROVES you are looking for excuses to NOT believe her. You are STILL expecting her to remember things which no normal human being can be expected to remember. The circumstances in which you are expecting her to remember these things are irrelevant: For her to remember details like you are expecting of her would require some sort of superhuman memory. You're basically calling her a liar because she doesn't have some sort of superhuman memory. Which is sick. It would be like expecting her to be able to levitate 20 feet off the ground just because she's accusing a Supreme Court nominee of some misdeed. Really really sick.

My impression was that the bigger beef people had with Kavanaugh was not over conservative views on social issues, but more to do with the fact that he previously opined that a sitting President should be immune from criminal prosecution.
