Screwed over? Almost three years ago at the heights of teenagers being told by their liberal teachers that it's ok for them to identify as pansexual helicopters or non-binary dustpans instead of a boy/girl and a man thinking it's ok to claim he's a woman and that he should be allowed to piss in any restroom that he chooses do you really fucking think that the Supreme Court needed another liberal to side with the other liberals that have been slowly turning this country into a gay fashion shit show at the time? I think not. Even if he would've been the least liberal judge in the Supreme Court, fuck that shit. Liberals have become cancer to this country and that's exactly why conservatives fought to that extent to keep his ass out.

There's way more to it than that and I was just providing a miniscule example of where human rights were headed in this country before Trump was elected.

I stand corrected. The therapist verified something but now I'm not sure what it was

Kavanaugh is woefully unqualified for the bench. Let’s set aside the matter of the sexual assaults (which, if we’re being honest, we know he did). He called out the Democrats by name. That should immediately disqualify him. A Supreme Court justice should not be a party operative, and Kavanaugh has clearly aligned himself with GOP legislators.

Then there’s the matter of his sketchy finances. The man had 200k in credit card debt that suddenly dissappeared. The documentation surround the purchase of his home is also sketchy as fuck. He made a down payment that was higher than his net worth, yet he only reported 20k of help from his family. The Federalist Society provided the White House with a list of nearly 40 qualified SCOTUS candidates with the same politics as Kavanaugh, yet Trump insists on pushing THIS one through, despite all the red flags. I reasonable man might suspect that Judge Kavanaugh is bought and paid for.

I understand a lot of people, especially older white men, look at sports like politics and don’t care what happens, as long as their team wins, but we’re looking at the potential end of America’s run as a functional democracy. A gerrymandered legislature, and partisan bench effectively removes all checks and balances from our government. It’s a coup.

Don’t speak for me because I don’t think he did it. And you seem to be in the minority who think Kavanaugh isn’t qualified to be on the SCOTUS. I can start with the American Bar Association and work my way down from there who think his very qualified to sit on the court.

You mean the same American Bar Association that’s calling for a postponement of confirmation and full FBI investigation? The ABA that had concerns about his objectivity 12 years ago?

Yes, the same one:

This was before the bogus allegations. If you read your entire link, this was at the end:

The ABA president’s opinion doesn’t alter the fact that Judge Kavanaugh received a very well-qualified rating from the ABA standing committee, and the standing committee did not join this letter,” Grassley said, as Republicans prepared to vote.

I think it’s unfair to categorize the allegations as bogus, without investigation. You were tipping your hand. What is clear, is that the ABA previously thought he might be too partisan, and he unequivocably show that to be true in his confirmation hearing. What you watched was a job interview, and he completely tanked it.

Again, you are stating your opinion, not fact. The fact of the matter is the ABA gave him a “very qualified” recommendation. It’s a fact that the Senate did conduct an investigation and Kavanaugh cleared 6 FBI background checks. Three people who Ford claimed was at this “party” All three, including her friend denied being there under penalty of purgery. That’s a fact. The FBI will conduct another background check that won’t shed any new light. Unless one of the three “witnesses” recant their testimony. Why hasn’t Ford gone to the Montgomery police and file a formal complaint? That’s where it belongs. She didn’t because she doesn’t have any hard evidence. They wouldn’t waste their time. Hence my statement that the allegations are bogus.

Hahaha... so you're saying the Dimotards are allowed to drag his good name into the gutter and call him a gang rapist, but he isn't allowed to call them out? I don't know a single soul who would sit back and take the trash the Dimotards love to dish out with relish.

You seem to have all the phony dimotard talking points down pat, el-mo. If Kavanaugh doesn't defend himself strongly against those absurd allegations, it proves he is guilty. But if he does, it proves he lacks a proper judicial temperament. Can't win with the dimotards!

Hey LL, I guess you don’t believe Kavanaugh raped and pillaged either? That makes two of us. Elmo said “we all know” he did it. Sorry Elmo, you were just proven wrong, again.

Did you say "rape and pillage"? Gee... that sounds like something the vikings did. Maybe the FBI can check his DNA. If he has a drop of Nordic blood, then it "proves" he is guilty!

I was thinking more along the lines of Atilla the Hun! Did Atilla go to church every Sunday? Did he keep a calendar of his exploits?

Wow. Never heard the theory that "older white men" all look at politics as sports. I always thought the opposite. The older you are (male or female, white or non-white), the more likely it is for you to have voted for both sides over the years. I am a registered democrat. I have voted D and I have voted R. Nowadays I call them dimotards because the party I am still registered with seems to have gone full retard on me.

As for the "potential end of America's run as a functional democracy" - do you always resort to hyperbole to prop up a weak argument? The only attempted "coup" I am aware of is the one to oust Trump from office prior to the next Presidential election. The same un-democratic tactics are being deployed there as the ones used against Kavanaugh - who needs evidence? Impeach him anyway!

And the there’s this, read Fords posts. She wanted someone to come forward and accuse Gorsuch of rape. Yep, she said that on Twitter:
