No. But hopefully there will be an impeachment for liking beer too much, raping someone and lying to Congress about it. 

What’s your confusion? Of course he can’t be impartial; that’s the entire reason the Republicans want him on the bench so badly. 

And when nothing comes of his brave stand, he’ll vote in lockstep anyways.

This entire nomination process is just so gross. Leaving aside Ford’s accusations (which I find credible), Kavanaugh showed yesterday that he does not have the temperament or impartiality to serve on any federal court. That in and of itself should be disqualifying. But this is why elections matter. Everyone needs…

And they’re still going to come out of all of this believing they’re the victims.

Fuck America. It’s not worth saving.

Kavanaugh’s angry tirade about accusations “coming from the left” puts me firmly in the no confirmation camp. That sort of outburst is not something I want to see coming from a Supreme Court justice nominee.

This is all giving me horrible anxiety and yet I can’t stop listening to/reading the livestreams.

At an absolute fucking minimum, Judge and Smyth should be subpoenaed to testify. If they don’t do that, the Judiciary Committee will be making it absolutely clear that this is a sham.

“But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today. I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many.”

But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today. I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many. In retrospect, I said and did things in high school that make me cringe now.

This is discussed over on the Splinter thread, but just for anyone who didn’t see it:

would kavanaugh allow this as evidence in a case over which he was presiding? lol jk jk jk no because this is absolute bullshit. it holds up just about as much as the calendar i fabricated in 1994 to show my orthodontist that i was, in fact, wearing my headgear every single night when really, i never even wore it…

Oh! Me! It happened to me, too!

So he’s an incel too? Makes sense. Oh and Brett, attempted rape doesn’t mean you aren’t a virgin anymore. 

“Drumpf will continue to deny Puerto Rico statehood. “

It never ceases to amaze me that they think that not getting on the Supreme Court is going to “ruin a life.” By that silly metric, they were perfectly happy ruining Merrick Garland’s life for the crime of getting nominated by a Black president.

I’m so glad you made this point. Right. Now we have to fight, scream, say no, get bloody, go have a rape kit done, and tell others and timestamp it, and send it to ourselves in a self-addressed envelope, and file it unopened, so it’s postmarked. Fuck. All. That.

Clearly Grassley knew well before Dr. Ford came out, because how else could he have cobbled together the 65 “female friends of Kavanaugh” for release immediately after her story was published? And how many guys still even know 65 friends - much less just female friends - from high school at age 53, having gone to an…

I have been the ex in the second letter and let me tell you, the good Doc hits the nail on the head here.
