Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to Retire

[♪alt13]

I wouldn't say he's caught in a lie. He admitted to drinking, going to parties, playing drinking games. The opposition is asking him how often he threw up, if "ralphing" referred to throwing up, if he ever blacked out, and whether he was a "sloppy drunk." These things are subjective. He denied these things, but he hasn't been shown to be a liar. They were attacking his character and he was defending himself.

What specifically did he lie about?

He obfuscated for sure.

He could have said "yeah, I've passed out. Yeah, I am Bart o Cavanaugh. Yes I threw up in a car. Yeah, I bragged about banging a chick in High school but I never raped or tried to rape anyone."

Even if you don't believe Ford and his other accusers (I do) then you still have to think that he is slippery fibbing douche. Not SCOTUS material.

If he could have been straightforward a out any of it we could have given him some credit. He didn't. He wasn't.

You are right, Mitchell took all of the GOP's time with Dr Ford, but when she started zeroing in on Kavanaugh's July 1st calendar entry, for a drinking party involving 3 of the 4 witnesses Ford mentioned, they decided to go ahead an take over.

This has been mentioned before, but the reason he was being asked about his yearbook is because it paints a very different kind of picture of the young Brett Kavanaugh than the one he himself was painting. The dishonesty about things that most people would find understandable is what is I find troubling, like what a devils triangle is, what it meant to be part of the 'Renate Alumnus' etc.

It's one thing to have been a boorish teenager, it's another to lie about it as an adult, especially when integrity is maybe the most important qualification for the position you are being nominated to.

Again, it's doesn't make him guilty of the assault, but it does make him guilty of giving dishonest testimony.

It's true that "devil's triangle" can apparently refer to a menage a trois with two guys and a girl. It's also worth finding out what it means to be an alumnius. I'd agree with that.

And in both cases, the men accused are being accused in the 11th hour by politically motivated Democrats with unsubstantiated allegations.

Coincidence?

Why didn't the deep state accuse Gorsuch?

There was a little poem written in the yearbook that went 'if it's getting late and you need a date, don't hesitate to call Renate.'

The implication is obvious.

When asked about what Renate Alumnus meant Kavanaugh got indignant and accused Blumenthal(?) of dragging her name through the mud by insuating things and that it was meant to make Renate feel included. A ludicrous idea which is made even more odd because Renate had never heard about this until last week, and was understandably upset by it.

Ask them, but the Dems were out to stop Kavanaugh before allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. Maybe it's because Kavanaugh represents the tie-breaking vote on the SC.

Of course it's not a coincidence you ****ing moron

it isn't worth the humiliation
the public shaming
the doubt etcetera etcetera etcetera

and then they say hey this ******* is going to be one of the most powerful people in the ****ing world and you think maybe they will pick somebody else and then they pick him

and you're like you know what maybe I can just tell somebody what happened and my family doesn't need to know I'll remain anonymous maybe that will be enough but it isn't enough of course it isn't

and as your fears become more and more real you come to understand it's now or never
am I brave enough
will I survive this
will they believe me

despite all your fears there's this growing feeling inside of you

that you have to
that you should
You just must

so you finally tell your story and all of your fears about how you will be treated are proven to be true and all the young women(and young men) watching learn the very important lesson

It's not worth it
if you tell your story not only will you have to relive the embarrassment
not only will you be treated like a villain but you won't change

A God damn thing

Are you speaking English?

If Trump withdraws this nomination (and I think he should, not because of the allegations but because I believe Kavenaugh's temperament has been exposed and it is not what it should be) then I am confident that the left is going to do this same thing to his next appointee. And they're not going to handle it privately like they ought to. They are going to orchestrate their attack for their maximum political advantage, regardless of the human damage that might cause. Just exactly like they have this time.

Why didn't they do that to Gorsuch?

Did they have accusations of sexual assault, and two very clear, very visible attempts at Perjury thing with Neil Gorsuch?

I re-read this and figured out what you are saying. I agree with you that it's too bad Feinstein choose to use this info for her maximum political advantage rather than handling it professionally as she should have.
