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.
I'm NOT saying he's unfit to be a Supreme Court Justice
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
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?
;- )
Somebody find me eight more people with anywhere near the integrity of Neil Gorsuch, and I will gladly support their nominations.
Good luck with that. SCOTUS isn't going to be fixed until long after the legislature is fixed, which is probably not going to happen ever.
Tim should livestream the senate and make some comments 😃
Aw shit.
Netflix put on Black Dynamite.
@Scribblehatch fake news
prove it
Protestors managed to get into the chamber.
yep
I think it was because I watched Blade.
Never saw Blade before.
Why, Black Dynamite, WHY??
Pretty good, I liked it.
I saw Blade a bootleg cd
Great film.
