I'm glad someone gets it. As a gay man, whenever I make a comment like that, I get bigoted liberals telling me I'm a traitor.

That's three bites at the apple for "representative democracy" to work, with increasing incentives for unity, consensus and compromise.

If these all fail, it goes back to the POTUS and he just appoints whoever he wants.
Maybe you didn''t really pay attention to how Kavanaugh's name was pulled out of the bag----
The Federalist Society had a list of judges they "approved" to be nominated for the Supreme Court
Trump wanted Kavanaugh because of his opinions about subpoenas and lawsuits against POTUS--
Totally reversed from his time persuing Bill Clinton for Ken Starr...
But Trump knew about Kavanaugh because OTHER PEOPLE told him
Trump has no clue about any of this until someone tells him

So a woman who has fear for flying goes on “vacation” which is considered a fun time and goes through anxiety for having a fun time.

That doesn’t make sense.

Dennis Bergkamp who was a famous Dutch soccer player, had fear for flying and drive everywhere to be able to play. The rest of the team took a flight and Dennis drove all through Europe and took a boat trip to play in England.

My father in law had fear of flying and when we were young we flew with friends to Alicante in Spain while he and three other adult family members drove 23 hrs due to his fear of flying and he never visited us in the US due to his fear of flying.

There is a difference between not enjoying flying or having fear. Most people with fear won’t fly unless they have no choice and for sure don’t go on vacations by plane and then use the excuse of not able to attend a hearing due to fear of flying!

Ford is not consistent and her stories don’t add up. Maybe she made it up or she doesn’t know who did something to her while she had a bathing suit on with clothes over it.

To me she made women go back in time!

Anyone wonder what Sheila Lee Jackson gived to Christina Ford's attorney during the Kavanaugh earrings?

Opposition to gay marriage is in the GOP platform. It's on the first page. Their opposition is laid out in detail.

The same woman that wouldn't give a gay couple a marriage license was also married four times and had two children out of wedlock.

Trump supporters definitely tend to be anti-gay. They want gay marriage to go back to the states, which is one of the many reasons they want Kavanaugh so much.

I can just picture this guy in a bar at 10 am complaining to the bartender how he lost his job and family because of Dr. Ford and not owing to his drink.

Those are your words.

Did FBI investigate him 6 times, or did they run a routine background check on him 6 times?

That's rich; a Trump voter calling anybody else a liar.
