I wouldn't go with "horndog." Having sex wasn't his goal when he was abusing women -- rather, he was using women as a prop to impress his friends.

Funny, he still does that.

But his education at one of the best law schools in the nation, his past employment as a judge, well, that matters not a whit? Suuuuuure. The Honorable Judge Kavanaugh has an impressive record that speaks for itself --called evidence, as opposed to a confused woman who has no evidence other than spittle and mumbling of a past she cannot remember.

This was my take. Never should have had the silly hearing to begin with.

“Attempted rape? Doesn’t matter! She should have had a chaperone! She’s confused! She was drinking! He’s perfect! He was defending himself! She cried - the nerve of her! He could rape a 1000 women, he’s earned it!”

That's right, he went to YALE, dammit. He can't be held accountable for his juvenile misbhavoir. Women need to be held accountable to their reactions to such things as men harassing them.

My morality doesn't involve accusing a man of sexual assault, gang rape, alcoholism and pedophilia without fact. I'm damn proud of that, thank you.

A lot of us do not believe he is most of those things (well except an alcoholic, I mean, come ON...) However he is waaaaay too openly partisan to sit on the court. It was a cheap move and McConnell knows it. I’m sorry it turned out this way but if the GOP had picked someone more appropriate I don’t think this would have happened. Oh, and Merrick Garland.

Yep, all the partisanship is on the side of the Republicans. We'll just not talk about how only 3 Democrats voted to confirm Gorsuch, who is used as the preferred example of a conservative-leaning judge in these threads.

Look, when we're at the point when an acceptable choice either doesn't come up for a vote (Garland) or gets Democrat in Republican stronghold votes (Gorsuch), it's partisanship all the way down.

So why didn’t they hold a vote for Garland and vote him down along party lines? Because they knew he was qualified and would actually be confirmed and they couldn’t have that. It was different and you know it.

They could have, but they decided to be partisan and not let him out of committee.
Just like all but 3 of the Democrats decided to be partisan and not vote to confirm Gorsuch even though they knew he was a good candidate.
Just like Trump decided to pick Kavanaugh instead of a less partisan choice.
Just like Feinstein decided to wait until the very last second to play her final card.

Partisanship all the way down. From all of them.

He is literally a partisan hack and not a respected jurist.

When everyone's playing the partisan game, why would you expect anything else?
If choosing a respected jurist gets you only 3 votes from the other party, why not go all in?

I'd argue you don't go all in because your goal is to seat the best justice you can for the country. But clearly neither the Democrats or the Republicans give a crap about the country, what with refusing to vote on, and refusing to confirm good, qualified candidates.

Do you know why Harry Reid went the nuclear route? Because the GOP refused to support ANY nominations, to the point that it was making our third branch of government disfunctional. McConnell took that action and weaponized it. For the most part, Obama chose centrist judges to try to get to 60, but the GOP refused. McConnell sat on Garland, and now we are getting primary news sourcing that he refused to make any statement about Russian interference into our elections.

Trump is illegitimate.
Kavanaugh is illegitimate.
The GOP is illegitimate.

You'd have a better argument if you could show how Gorsuch got decent support from the Democrats. Except you can't. Which, if you weren't stuck on defending your team at all costs, you'd recognize shows they are playing a partisan game as well.

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are representing the country.

Merrick Garland.

If you could read, you'd see that's also part of the partisanship.

The Republicans aren't some upstanding party.
The Democrats aren't some upstanding party.
They are both entirely devoted to making sure "their side" wins, and they don't give a crap about the country as whole.

The Republicans have held onto Bork forever. Now you're going to hold onto Garland. Woo hoo. And you all look like the partisan hacks you are.

So now it's time to start cooking up our next smear campaign. Who else wants to volunteer to go in the national spotlight as an accuser of a supreme court justice nominee? You can see how much fun Ford is having and I bet you just can't wait to be in her place for the next go-around.

Only if I get a free lie detector test!

Notes from people who knew him at Yale

"Sleeper smart person" - people surprised that Brett got honors at graduation because he was known as a "party guy"
"Brett was the one at the keg"
"Brett wanted to be the guy wanted to get the girls but he never got the girls" People remember him using disrespectful language toward women around the guys. No one can remember anyone he dated.
"Known for holding up the walls" - guy who's so drunk he has to stay next to the wall to stand up

Kavanaugh's record isn't that impressive. He went to Yale and clerked for some federal judges. So far, so good. But his actual legal career was mostly working for Ken Starr and George W. Bush -- in other words, partisan hackery. Then George Bush rewarded him with an appellate court seat.

Probably because they were both DKE bros at Yale.

Aside from being abusive to women to impress the guys, a lot of this is familiar for me. I graduated with honors from law school (public, state school - so don't be too impressed). I had a well-earned reputation for drinking. During law school, I dated one girl for 3 or 4 months, but that's it. For the record, I shouldn't be on the Supreme Court either. I'm not impressed by Kavanaugh. His drinking on its own doesn't bother me, but I've never had much use for mean drunks. I liked drinking because it made me really happy.

Are you as bothered by the seemingly irrefutable evidence that Brett lied and tried to create a false story about what he did to Debbie aorez? Does perjury bother you as much as peaceful, lawful, marching?

But, but, but...they wore VAGINA costumes. Obviously that's way worse than perjury.

Actually, CBF wore a pink brain hat. Cracks me up that the RWNJs can’t recognize a brain and distinguish it from a vagina. Works on so many levels.

I used to laugh at people fussing about the patriarchy all the time, but this Kavanaugh thing has shown me what they meant

He graduated cum laude which put him in the top 46.4% of his class. This top of the class stuff is BS.

I actually think he likely got him the seat for Ashley's benefit. I can see W. being loyal to Ashley, and wanting the best for her, even if he knew she married a dick. W. seems kind of like a father figure to Ashley, who by all accounts, was on great terms with the Bushes.
