It's a defacto trial

but then that's exactly what those that made the alligations want, i.e. they win

By being appointed, it's essentially acquittal

And stepping down after confirmation would theoretically be accepting the acquittal

Should Clarence Thomas have resigned?

I'm merely explaining, not advocating.

I know

but its a very much related question

JBP is blind to the political game

I hope not

He absolutely is.

he goes on an on about the leftist authoriarians in the past, but is blind to those in the presnt

No

He's operating under the assumption that a different candidate could just be approved

He's a surgeon being asked to diagnose a car.

This may have sailed right over my head, but what makes Bret Weinstein think that Kavanaugh is an "entitled punk"?

Then a good surgeon wouldn't involve themselves when a cylinder is down on pressure

Weinstein IS a lefty, keep in mind.

IF confirmed

IF

But he's a rational one

Yeah, he did teach at Evergreen and thought everything there was hunky-dory until they came for him.

I dont trust Eric Weinstein

Brett is a bit more palatable

So I'd like to know his rationale

Eric didn't

he's Bret's brother

The whole IDW has many blindspots. Especially with regard to political theory and economics.

Punished weinstein, a progressive democrat denied by his own ideology.

I'm sharing a similar mindset to jbp, IF it is true, set down. Else innocent until guilty

Ah, my mistake. We're taking Eric's word?

That's not what jbp is saying.

what is he saying?

I think the only valid criticism against Kavanaugh would be against his temperment

He's saying that to claim victory over it, he needs to step down after being confirmed.

Backing down now looks like an admission of guilt

Well, claim victory in the battle yes.. only to lose the war?

But there will be drama in years to come over this

I get what he's saying

I dont' agree with Bret W's assessment
