DP. I don't get the whole "greatest intellects of our time" bit. From what I've seen from him, I am thoroughly unimpressed with his intellect. |
You have no evidence for any of your claims, and the evidence that exists regarding them is against them. Well, there is evidence that he's in debt. But "insane" is a matter of personal opinion. I think any debt is insane, but there are people who think my practice of buying a house outright is also insane. |
Because Julie Swetnick was at 10 parties where Judge and Kavanugh were drugging and raping girls. The age range at these parties was between "15/16 to 25 maybe even more". Because you know freshman, 15 year old Stone Ridge and Holy Child girls from Bethesda and Potomac are partying it up with 25 year old guys from Gaithersburg on a regular basis. For a good laugh here's the video timestamped where Swetnick actually said this. And right afterward she goes on to talk about the GP uniform she saw a guy 3 years younger than her wearing when she met him. https://youtu.be/hq_aFCg6bKY?t=150 |
Bluntly, as someone who has been pointing out that he didn't perjure himself, that the accusations against him do not hold up to any even remotely serious scrutiny, and that his judicial record should also be considered if we're considering his intemperate response when dealing with being accused of gang rape and assault ... He's too political for my tastes. My preference is for judges who are originalists, and his perception of himself as a textualist leaves me with some concerns. I've only reviewed a small selection of his cases and he's fine. But he's not some amazing stand out that should make us willing to accept him even if he's been politically active. Even as I write that, I understand I'm placing an unfair burden on all would-be Supreme Court Justices. It's not fair to ask people to live a life of ascetic moderation in the realm of politics. But because the SCOTUS has become such an active part of our current political arena, I'd prefer it at least have a veneer of being above politics. Though perhaps it's better if we all remain fully aware that it is not, has never been, and never will be. |
Yeah, when you're accused of something you didn't do, and interrogated about it on national television in front of people who have already told you they don't believe you, you tend to not be at your best. You might even get very emotional and upset. Imagine! |
You may have watched his testimony, but I'm not sure what you got out of it. How did he perjure himself re: Ford? If he perjured himself re:Bush, why is no one following up on it? How dare he not be the perfect victim! How dare he react to being accused of being a serial assaulter, rapist, and gang rapist with anything other than calm! Haven't we all learned by now that different people process things differently? There is no correct way to be a victim. Kavanaugh's appointment process took almost a month longer than Gorsuch's, true. But I'm not sure why you're suggesting that Gorsuch's appointment was rushed in a comment about Kavanaugh? Just because his debt/taxes weren't explained to you, doesn't mean they weren't explained sufficiently behind closed doors. None of the Senators, even those who voted against him, seem to think those were of particular issue. And many people on DCUM have admitted to having similar debt amounts, while also making decent salaries. The misconduct claims were all from the appointment process, as I understand it. Were any from his previous time as a judge? If from the process, we'll need to wait to see how they pan out, if any do. I'm not sure why you think those should be immediately disqualifying, however? Do you know what the complaints entail? And those of you who keep saying he was nominated because of a particular stance he holds on criminal complaints against a sitting President... Do you think 4 other people on the court also hold these beliefs? If you don't, then Kavanaugh's beliefs in this area don't matter. If you do, then surely, since 50% of the court before Kavanaugh was confirmed hold the belief, there are plenty of other people on the short list who also hold it. One might guess around 50%. Nothing that argues for Kavanaugh and only Kavanaugh. It's odd how fixated you are on this. |
The lady doth protest too much, me thinks. |
I can’t believe there is still a Kavanaugh thread...time to retire it guys! |
Newsflash: both the congress, white house, and the judiciary are controlled by the GOP. Do you really think even Kavanaugh's obvious perjury would be prosecuted there?
Stop asking: Why aren't perjury charges being brought? Answer: The majority GOP branches of government will never bring charges. Why didn't Ford or Swetnik bring their charges to the police? The sexist police force and prosecutors offices of 1981, 1983 etc., would never have believed them! They can't bring the charges now because too much time has gone by. It doesn't mean it didn't happen the exact way she said it did. |
The exact way Swetnick said it did? Which version? She’s changed her story so much it’s hard to tell exactly what she’s claiming. |
Yes. Women go back to parties where they witnessed rape. They go back to parties where even they were raped.
1. Women go back to boyfriends that beat and rape them. Why don't they just go to the police?! 2. Young boys go back to football teams where they have had other boys attempt to rape them and you better believe they tell NO ONE. Why don't they just go to the police?! 3. Boys go back to teams where coaches have molested them. Why don't they just go to the police! See how that works? People that have been sexually assaulted rarely go to the police. They OFTEN return to the assaulter. This is a known phenomenon. You can play GOTCHA with Swetnik all day long. And yes, you'll get her all twisted up in knots because she's not the perfect victim. And oh no, she's from Gaithersburg! But picking on a rape victim from a "lower class" makes you feel smart and powerful and right, doesn't it? You Kavanaugh supporters had to go pretty low to be worse than your leader Trump, but you've slid right under the gutter with him. |
Untrue? “Considered one of the great intellects.” Dude isn’t even respected by half the people in the judicial system. It’s like you all live in an alternate reality. |
They will say anything to circle the wagons and protect one of their own. No matter what really happened. |
Oh, the irony of this post. |
