You mean, legally? It says right in this guy's tweet..... |

He lied about his finances
https://news.yahoo.com/kavanaugh-contradicts-white-house-account-credit-card-debt-leaving-questions-234449883.html This is forensic stuff that has nothing to do with "he said, she said" The GOP doesn't care about rules or democracy, and the Court is illegitimate to decide anything having to do with Trump or the Administration. |
I went to an Ivy, saw and partook in plenty of partying, and witnessed acts of public exposure - including male and female students who ran naked around a college courtyard in the school’s annual “nude Winter Olympics” that followed the first snowfall. I did not in four years witness men thrusting their genitals in women’s faces or having their dicks pushed by buddies into women’s faces or hands. Maybe I missed out, but I consider myself lucky to been spared those sights. The reason BK’s shenanigans resonate is that they continue to speak to the inequality that pervades our society. Had a black teenager decided to show up on the New Haven green some evening and expose himself, he would have been arrested. Had Deborah Ramirez decided to let loose and dance with her top off at her Yale residential college, she would have been slut-shamed for months, if not years. But Kavanaugh could basically do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, as a young adult, secure in the knowledge that he would face no consequences. And, in fact, he was right - as we’ve seen an entire political party grease his wheels for decades. Had he been even slightly candid or contrite, or attempt to place his earlier behavior in the context of growing up at an earlier time - post-Animal House and Porky’s but pre-American Pie - he might at least seem more human or equipped to recognize the mistakes that others also make. But he has only stonewalled, so ultimately he stands for absolutely nothing other than white male privilege. That’s what he rode to power and if dismantling it means attacking him and continuing to look for opportunities to unseat him from the Supreme Court, so much the better. |
Oh, please stop with your "white privilege" nonsense. I am old enough to remember the crap that Clarence Thomas went through. You are FOS. He didn't do the crap that the left is accusing him of. Even Ramirez, herself, cannot be sure the incident happened or involved Kavanaugh. He wasn't "slightly candid or contrite" because these are all bogus allegations that didn't happen. And, resurrecting all these stories now speaks volumes. Once again - the Democrats disgust me. You have proven you will go to any extreme to win. And, as Lindsey Graham said, "Boy, y’all want power. God, I hope you never get it.” |
“There are a number of ancillary issues around this latest revelation. Why did the Times bury its new information deep in the story? Who at the paper deserves to be fired for the clumsy and revolting Tweet that originally was posted to hype the latest story? Why was the story posted under "news analysis" when it contains entirely new information? Why was it originally posted under "Opinion"? What the hell is going on at that newspaper, anyway? All good questions for another day, but, right now, it is clear that the Kavanaugh nomination corrupted everything it touched within the government, and that the people most corrupted by it see that corruption as an unalloyed triumph.” https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/amp29055961/brett-kavanaugh-accused-sexual-misconduct-yale/?__twitter_impression=true |
The crap Clarance Thomas went through?????? Seriously? |
|
If Kavanaugh had said something along the lines of:
"Yes, I drank too much in my last year of high school and first year of college, misbehaved in ways that embarrass me now, I am sincerely sorry, and have never done anything like it since." He would have been fine. Instead, he was steadfast in his denial that ANY of this took place. He lied. He is unfit certainly for SCOTUS and should also be disbarred. He is a black mark on his family, church and community. |

Both her and her sister went to Yale, she checked the right boxes because she's 1/2 Puerto Rican yet raised comfortably middle class in leafy Connecticut. Woe is me around all this privilege? These fabricated narratives are getting tiresome. No doubt Brett was a drunken overachiever -- so is practically everyone else at a top college. Give it a rest.
--- Sign on her garage read in all caps, "Please demand an FBI investigation for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Debbie Ramirez's claims." --- https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/26/politics/who-is-deborah-ramirez/index.html |
I don't believe you. You're a troll just writing to stir up anger. |
And? Sounds to me like she wants the FBI to do a thorough investigation of her claim and Ford's claim. If I were her I'd want such an investigation too. Good for her for not shutting up as people like you want her to. |
Yes. |
You’re missing the point of this whole thread - Ramirez’s allegation has been corroborated. |
He lied over and over again about a whole host of issues. In the first hearing and the later ones. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2019/9/15/20866829/brett-kavanaugh-perjury-confirmation-hearing-deborah-ramirez-new-allegations?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&__twitter_impression=true |
The republicans opposed a vote because they feared the influence that a liberal vote would have on the court. The democrats felt the same way about Kavanaugh, they just knew they’d be unsuccessful, so they had to make it about some bu11shit frat-boy story instead. At least be honest about the motivations. |
Yes, exactly this - and you know this is true because Gorsuch has the seat that was stolen from Merrick Garland, so politically we are even more fcking pissed about him being appointed. But you cannot deny that he was qualified in terms of background and moral fitness, and how he conducted himself during the hearings - even if you hate his jurisprudence and how he got to the court, as I do. The fact that Bart O'Beer got there with so many questions about his background - that just shows you how little Republicans care about or respect the court and the American people, not to mention WOMEN. It's not for nothing that women are abandoning that party. |
