    I agree.

    It is interesting to see the shoe on the other foot. ACB took the same jabs and did equally as well. Kavanaugh had to deal with the false sexual assault accusations, which was ridiculous. It’s now the GOP’s turn to look like clowns.

      I…didn’t realize they were proven false.

          Sorry. I should have said "unsubstantiated". But I mean, the accusers own friend, the one that was supposedly there and witnessed it all, apparently had no recollection of the event. That's about as close to "proving false" an accusation as you can find.

            Yeah, that whole episode was a joke.

              Plus, Christine Blasey Ford looked like Professor Trelawny, so it was hard to take her seriously.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                I'm surprised Ted Cruz didn't present her with a silver dollar and ask whether it ought to be rendered unto the IRS or the church collection basket...

                  Haha. Yes, she did.

                    It's unfortunate that it's gotten to be where the only thing that matters is whether the president making the nomination is from your party or not. That said, some of the Republicans asked good questions which she answered very well.

                      It was pretty wild listening to Ted Cruz lecturing a black woman on racism.

                        Any of you following this story about Clarence Thomas's wife? This is wild. She sent a ton of texts to Mark Meadows encouraging him to overturn the 2020 election. She is a full on MAGA/QAnon lunatic.

                        Some legal experts are now saying that CT should recuse himself from any case involving the 2020 election or aftermath. Can the other justices force this?

                          He never recused himself in the past in cases she consulted on, he won't do it unless made to is my guess. She is a crazy.

                            Yeah, the NYT wrote an article on her last month. She's pretty well involved with things.

                              Puts into perspective the 8-1 decision to release all of Trumps White House records to the 1/6 Committee. The one no vote coming from Thomas.
