  • LOL... dumb Dems are freaking out because Lindsey Graham gives a rape victim some good advice that someone should have given Dr. Ford 30+ years ago: "I'm sorry, tell a cop."

    • Looks like the vote is going ahead... and some dems are breaking ranks:

      BREAKING: We Have The Votes

      With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on the floor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins (R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh. That’s the ball game, folks.

      Your liberal friends may need a hug today... but don't hug them in private because they may accuse you of rape or something 30+ years later.

          Good, and he should be confirmed. I probably feel this way more out of disgust for how Feinstein handled all of this. I’d feel differently if someone, anyone could lend an ounce of corroboration to Fords story, but even her lifelong friend torpedoed that with her written testimony.

          I winder how much longer RBG will last. She obviously won’t retire with Trump as president but if he gets four more years will she kick the bucket by then? Would be funny to see Mike Lee nominated to take her spot.

            I’m disgusted with everybody.
            Yeah, the GOP'ers should have held a nice, long hearing on Merrick Garland and then voted to reject him... they were being way too nice.

              I find your statement interesting as it only objects to his drinking problem and not the issue of sexual assault..

                Many people set out to drink because it lowers inhibitions. It plays out at closing time in millions of bars every night throughout the world. People hook up, men and women alike, and unfortunately sometimes guys confuse lowered inhibitions with license. When people are drunk, they don't ask permission and it only seems like sexual assault in the light of sobriety. I don't mean to trivialize sexual assault, but alcohol is a bastard and it brings out our most base thoughts and actions. So when I speak of people with drinking problems who regularly attend alcohol fueled parties I naturally assume there is an accompanying sexual component. Promiscuity goes hand in hand with alcohol abuse.

                    I'm honestly alarmed people don't know that. It's one of the most nefarious things about alcohol.

                        Thanks for the additional information. This brings to light a issue that hides in the darkness.

                          They held out for 10 months because they knew their was on way in hell they could reject him without looking like hypocritical assholes, especially Hatch. Of course, they still ended up looking like hypocritical assholes, especially Hatch.

                          Merrick Garland would have made a fantastic justice on the Supreme Court. It is a real shame he isn't on the court.

                          Both sides have acted despicably with Supreme Court nominees the GOP has just been the one winning the battles.

                            In my opinion, its not that people don’t know about it but is looked upon differently. It is minimized and empathized as a action the person would never do if they had not drank..

                            I think the charade yesterday missed the mark on this very subject and determining if he is an alcoholic would have been a valid discussion relating to the revaluation that he likes to drink.

                            A follow-up question for Non-Sequistor. Can a person of his mental fortitude and high profession be such a high functioning drunk? Or is it your opinion this was something in his past?

                              At least they would have been following the Constitution doing it that way.

                                The GOP loves the constitution and believes it must be interpreted literally, well, except when it doesn't benefit them then we can throw it out.
