I'm impressed if even one democrat can vote like an individual and not a party puppet

Daines is such a twit for skipping this vote.

The only plausible backstab (without extra-legal fuckery) would be if Flake flakes and Murkowski votes 'no'.

I'm not 100% on Kavanaugh anymore tbh. What with that of "LUL this is the work of the Clintons" from his opening statement

You're entitled to be wrong.

How dare he react to the most vicious smearjob since Clarence Thomas, eh?

he didn't say it's the work of the clintons

"revenge on behalf of the clintons"

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

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.
