Well I'll look into that more
but I think most people can agree that he will be more much conservative on these issues than Kennedy
Kennedy bascially argued that Gay Marriage should be legal because its legel in other countries
Hey, I'm just bringing up something I believe is relevant. I hope you're correct, believe me.
**G K Chesterton was right, imho:**
*"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."*
-- G K Chesterton quote from "The Blunders of Our Parties", Illustrated London News, 19 April 1924.
1924 he wrote that
Also, see how answering the questions honestly worked for Robert Bork
you gotta put up this bullshit routine of "respect for precedent" to get confirmed
Yeah they more or less have to give vague nonanswers for everything
Bork hurt himself by writing weird articles for the sake of raising issues
behavior that makes you a good jurist can look bad in the Senate, because politics is quite different from law
you make a decent argument. i hope this is the case.
Youknow this Chuck Wendig guy lives with his wife and another man in the same house together?

It's a damn shame, because we're basically surrendering law to politics. However, it seems as if the conservative always has to defend - in the public and official space - the 'liberal' precedents, even if they actually overturned former precedents. On the other hand, the 'liberal' simply claims some automatic high ground and never has to defend ANYTHING in the law, even their pro-'liberal' precedents which overturned 100's of years of tradition cementing highly important social mores. Conservatives, on shit like SSM, all say "Oh well, we can't overturn it now, it'll cause too much of a stink".
It's as if western civilization is a beautiful Greek statue, perfectly carved, and the Liberals keep coming at it with chisels, chopping off limbs, and we successfully defend certain attacks, but not all, but never even attempt to repair any damage, always retain it in a state of 'conservatism'. It's frustrating the shit outta me. Something has to give. We need to storm some damn Castles and throw these people from the walls.

I sure hope that's all it is. In Kavanaugh's case, he has seemingly, under pressure, done more than manke vague answers (as in the gay cakes case) ... let's just hope it is simply insincere rhetoric, pragmatism.
Brazilian election happening later today. It's just the first round so almost certainly it'll be between Haddad and Bolsonaro on Oct. 28th in the second round to determine the winner.
Jair Bolsonaro's likelihood of winning the Brazilian presidency is up to 77c on Predictit.
@ThatRightWingFish that is absolutely shameful
Covington should challenge that Khabib rat to a match
3 of that goatfucker’s squad have been arrested for cheating
@Rabbi Akeldama I already knew all that about Kavanaugh months ago. It isn't a shock to other people here as well.
"Liberal" might not be the right word for it though. Was George W. Bush liberal?
Nice
He's waking up.
So basically every state with a democrat in it except for West Virginia?
I love this awakened Lindsey ❤
@Rabbi Akeldama I’ve been saying that we’ve replaced a mild conservative with a mild conservative for months
Sure buddy, sure
@lancerelliott {CARTHAGE} yep
now...some are saying that Kavanaugh is going to be radicalized by the shit he's been put through, but only time will tell
I believe in his character. I think he will forgive, but perhaps he won't forget.
Kav doesn't seem like much of a muh feels type judge. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/brett-kavanaugh-roe-v-wade-697634/
