50 to 48 is a majority of votes cast.

Cryin' Kavanaugh has a 31% approval rate.

Congrats, you destroyed SCOTUS.

Here's a newsflash - Supreme Court justices aren't elected, thus "approval rates" really don't apply to them.

But politics does affect them, much as they want you to think it doesn't.

And it affects our country. How can a country hold together when we have no respect for any branch of government.

Boofin Brett told Clueless Collins I will be so just.
But now I'm in the seat for life and all that's in the past.
So chicks and blacks and all those losers kiss my preppy a$$.

From blacking out to donning robes, it it has been quite a ride.
Had to cover up some stuff, and kiss some Trumpy hide.
All the women in my life stuck with me through this noise. And now I can deny them all their right to have a choice.

I drank my way through 25, but always topped my class.
And then I spent a bunch of years exploiting Clinton's past.
Then I helped Bush and my bosses legalize torture.
Then I spent a decade showing I was quite mature.

That's all it took to make it to the nation's highest court;
I almost made it all the way with very strong support.
But then those women spoke up; I was close to falling short.
Now I will have the last laugh - shredding modern rights for sport.

Very good.

Consuming mass quantities of alcohol will result in poor decisions and can come back to haunt you. To parents it should be a message that you need to tell your sons and daughters to never be afraid to tell you when something has happened and that you will support them regardless.

Blasey Ford should not have been afraid to approach her friends and parents with what happened. Had she done it at the time there could have been justice. If she would have told just one person what happened at the time it happened, Kav would have been toast.

Even thought Kavanaugh ended up not he court, his life and reputation will be forever changed and not for the better.

Spoken exactly like someone who was not assaulted, let alone as a teenager.

+1. Please point us to the thread where you say that priests accused of sexual assault should be allowed to stay in their parishes, because none of the boys accusing the priest told their parents or police at the time of the assault. Many waited decades. Why is Kav different? Rich and well connected? Supporting pedo priests lets you own the libs?

Or is it this: We know boys would never lie because gay rape is horrific and gay sexual assault is shameful. So is being the object of a gay advance. Boys don’t speak up because people look at them with pity and disgust and they will be stigmatized and if the Church is well connected, ostracized. Plus, you would have to go to War with a powerful institution (the Church) and maybe your friends would choose the Church over you.

Contrast Dr. Ford who was raped by a rich, smart, handsome, popular athlete. In this situation, you think that deep down a woman should be a little honored that a guy who is an 8 and could have almost anyone chose her. Why would she feel ashamed? Heck this might even HELP her self esteem. Especially since you haven’t had a chance yet to inspect her outfit, behavior, sexual history and drinking habits to point out why it is all her fault. If there was a “miscommunication” she shouldn’t feel ashamed or scared. In fact, she should feel good about herself for being doable.

Of course if she becomes pregnant as a result of the sexual assault, she should be forced to carry the baby.

^^^^^^^^. That is what “Why didn’t she report?” is saying. Is that what you want to say?^^^^^^^^

Have you been stuck in a box with no access to the outside world for the past couple weeks?
She wasn't raped. She never accused him of rape.

Save some for Brett. He's probably in withdrawal now.

No, don't you know by now, he likes beer! Kegger at his place tonight, bring the ladies. You don't know what you might find under his robes, wink wink.

Given Ford's lawyers just announced they won't be pursuing charges, apparently they don't have proof either

They were hoping he'd be withdrawn, and their mission would be accomplished. Didn't happen that way.

She’s probably tired of the death threats and thinks fighting the system and the wealthy-powerful alliance never works.

From the moment she first entered into the public eye I said that regardless of the outcome, even if it was only a he said, she said, Ford would become a celebrity and be ushered into high liberal society. She may not go on talk shows or write a book but the aforementioned would happen.

Okay, come back every so often and show us how this comes to pass. Please, show us where all her interviews are, I have yet to see any.

She seems pretty meek to me and not someone who has any desire to hang out with "high liberal society" whatever that means. (Can you point me the way? I'd love to join it!)

Electoral college denied America the popular vote winner.

No. Donald Trump is the duly elected President. He won the Electoral College. That is the way the Constitution says it works.

+1 I think some posters here are so young that their history and social studies classes didn't really emphasize the Constitution and how it works. Other aspects of our country's history have been given more emphasis.

I am pretty old and my class did talk a lot about how the Electoral College works. The most important thing we learned is that it never worked as intended. It was intended to have the electors choose the president, rather than the popular vote. But it never worked as intended. States immediately gamed the system by passing laws to force 100% of electors to follow the popular vote in that state.

We also learned that it became the source of considerable controversy in 1824, when nobody got a majority of the Electoral College and the House chose John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson. Adams had fewer popular votes than Jackson, so his legitimacy was questioned his entire term. In the 1828 rematch, Jackson won a resounding victory and began a period of Democratic dominance that lasted until the Civil War.

Then in 1876, Republicans Rutherford B. Hayes lost the popular vote but won the electoral college through some questionable tactics. Democrats cried foul and investigated, but couldn't do anything about. In 1880, Democrats used the lost election of 1876 as a rallying cry, but lost anyway.

So if we are really going to talk about American history as it actually happened:
1) The Electoral College never worked as the Constitution intended.
2) The way the Electoral College works today is a matter of state law, not the Constitution.
3) If you win the Electoral College but lose the popular vote, the other side will question your legitimacy and use it against you in the next election. Based on the 1828 case, the other side might even come back and crush you.

Ford was pointing out our future Supreme Court justice was a ragey blackout drunk on the downlow, at least for a portion of his life. Then, reports started coming in from Yale.

And then this happened:


Guess we will see if he still is a ragey drunk or not.

PP here. I don't disagree with what you wrote and appreciate your taking the time to do it. Still, winning the Electoral College is the method we currently have.

Al Franken must be SO pissed right about now.

This has been a growing problem since the 1990s. The Supreme Court was the last refuge of respectability, but now it is under attack.

From what I've read and NPR interviews, he's conducted himself extremely well as a circuit judge for 10+ years.

Brilliant - thanks for the needed smile

Independent of the name, it was all a game
Protect the 5th seat, even if we cheat
His character was slammed, Due process be damned

Avanetti's creepy grin, showed the fix was in
No supporting facts, just political hacks
The Dems played MOB and now they SOB
Although the liberals pounced
It's the Constitution that counts

I'm more worried about people not having respect for differing views and opinions. Civility, respect and decorum are absent from our society. Both partie's are to bame.
