he said it's revenge on behalf of the clintons
exact words
very different thing
you're right
my misquote
It's the work of the very same Dem machine that produced the Steele dossier.
but the point is the same. Despite how right he is to be angry, the degree to which he became emotional was a little troubling
Revenge on behalf of the Clintons is clearly involved at some level, it's more a matter whether they were involved with manufacturing the claims or merely promoting them.
The voting is about to begin
Though naming outside parties does put him in a bit of a bind, because it means that he'll probably have to recuse in the future
well, that Kavanaugh is now surely biased against Democrats, is totally their fault.
Scoob, you're behaving like a smuggie at this point.
like a what
oh those things have a name
MSNBC ran a headline the other day along the lines of "Is Brett Kavanaugh too damaged from the nomination proceedings to make a competent jurist?"
Which raises a big question: is it permissible for the fact that somebody was damaged by being put under so much unfair pressure during a nomination proceeding to affect their eligibility for the seat they were nominated for?
pls @ me when it's about to happen, i'll be playing NieR
Supreme Court Justices are supposed to be the most well-tempered people in the entire country, not able to be emotionally manipulated or angered to the point Kavanaugh was. They are supposed to be level-headed and impartial, no matter how partisan something may be.
it presents a slippery slope where it seems it is possible to, if you have a sufficiently-loyal partisan base, take almost anyone out of the running by a cavalcade of mere allegations.
As credible as Blasey-Ford was, she needed evidence regardless. Ramirez shot herself in the foot by asking if it was him. Swetnick was a goof with an outlandish story. Kavanaugh shouldn’t have gone all Q-Anon and gone Clinton conspiracy theorist.
but he's not perfect

I don't like his decisions, and I think he has baggage.
@Inquisition is right
Speaking of dowg.
My puppy brought in the newspaper in this morning.
Most wholesome shit I've ever seen.
But honestly, his predecessor was not much different
so if we need a somewhat unfair neocon justice to balance a somewhat unfair neolib justice
then it is not the most insane thing.
😨
Fuck all you people not acknowledgin' my dowg
A plague on your bloodlines
now, it would be nice to have a court of nine fair justices
but if wishes were horses, I know what we'd be having for dinner.
I was waiting for you to post a picture or something @Scribblehatch
@Scribblehatch Don't you feel blessed?
