Originally posted by Babs View PostThat's a lot of nots and nos. The point is that the committee and the full senate, having just confirmed the very same judge to a circuit, have a much tougher time arguing that s/he's suddenly unfit to serve. This practice (typically of nominating someone for a circuit that was recently elevated to a federal district) is well established as an easier road to confirmation.
They wouldn't have to make that argument. They could conjure some phantom from the misty past who may or may not have been too inebriated to recall some lewd behavior. New problem. Didn't know about it before. And voila! Roe v. Wade can sleep soundly another night.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

The funny thing with the left throwing the kitchen sink at Kavanaugh, is that he is one of the most centrist of the Federalist Society's list. They'll have blown their outrage wad and have nothing left for an even more conservative nominee. So they bring down someone who clerked for Kennedy and will get someone who clerked for Scalia (Barrett).

Leftist protestors are funny... They believe that anyone that supports Kavanaugh is a fascist and can't eat at the same restaurant:
But at the same time they act like a bunch of fascist pigs.

Kavanaugh's roommate during the time believes Ramirez.
In a statement released to select reporters Monday night, Roche writes of his experience as Kavanaugh’s freshman-year roommate, concluding that “although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became belligerent and aggressive when he was very drunk.” Though he says he does not remember the incident of alleged sexual assault, he does remember Kavanaugh “frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.
Roche also describes his friendship with Deborah Ramirez, saying “she stood out as being exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.” He says Ramirez, a Puerto Rican woman who felt out of place among the privileged students of Yale, was worried about fitting in and tried hard to make friends and “get along.”
“Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and I cannot imagine her making this up,” Roche writes. “Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described.”

But the roommate has no independent knowledge of the alleged attack itself. Next.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
