ABA calls for a halt on the vote until FBI can investigate allegations further. Will this be the cover for on the fence senators to demand a delay?"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostYes, this is 100% politics. Democrats want to stall until after the mid-terms and the polls will determine the outcome. But Republican complaints about that ring hollow, after they held Scalia’s seat open for what, 10 months.
I’m disgusted with everybody.

Part of the answer: limited terms for the SC judges. Each president gets to pick a judge each 4 year term.
Can’t remember where I saw that idea; maybe here. But that would take a lot of the current shitshow out of the nominations."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostThis is a very possible if not likely explanation—there was an encounter of some kind, and it meant vastly different things to each of them. Isn’t this a metaphor for so much that occurs between the genders? The way she describes what occurred it may not have lasted a minute. Judge dove on them and they all wound up on the floor. In his drunken 17 year old mind, Kavanaugh may have regarded this as harmless horseplay. And he doens’t remember it because it didn’t mean that much to him.

I think he may have been better off acknowledging that there may have been some kind of encounter, and if so, apologizing for any misunderstanding while denying the stuff about the grinding and trying to undress. This could have integrated the drinking culture not necessarily to his detriment. Then he could have gone after everyone over politics but been a lot more chill. Categorically denying he was even there and flashing his churchgoing credentials is a bridge too far.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
