SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

I've been pretty clear it ain't Cramer for me from early on. I can live with Heitkamp (but can you take her radio host brother ... please?).

If Heitkamp needs a job, maybe I'll write her in for Governor of FL. The current choices are between "Bernie is too Right Wing For Me" and "Certified Nutbar."

Been introduced to lots of people at parties, friends of friends from back home, etc. If one of them came up to me and said, remember, so and so introduced us when I came up to visit them at Maine

"Nope, sorry, not a clue".

I strongly agree with this. It must have been harder back in the days before social media too.

The biggest problem I see is still that Ford couldn’t offer up more details as far as date or location.

But you'll vote R below the bottom line.

I'm in a state where the Ds are such a mess that they can't get candidates to fill out a statewide ballot. Seriously.

My UND bias has me leaning Mac Schneider for US House. (Mac was the center on the 2001 UND DII NC Football team.)

And you'll be wrong again when I don't vote for the R on the top line of this November's ballot. (I can't vote for Cramer; dude just makes me itch.)

What each did when allegation became substantiated is disqualifying.
And yes, Moore is about three orders of magnitude worse, but Franken's actions were disqualifying.

Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

Of course you think Franken is as bad as Moore. Your entire shtick on this board is BSABSVR.

Forgive me, but I consider unwanted groping and kissing abusive. (It may or may not reach the standard of assault.)

And legally speaking, the general seriousness of conduct goes misconduct < harassment < assault < abuse.

The allegations against Franken were at the level of harassment, not assault and certainly not abuse.

Scooby-sense ... vindicated?

The result of all this: Republicans are now more fired up about the November midterm elections than Democrats. NPR reported Wednesday: “In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were ‘very important.’ Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie.”

Franken was never accused of abuse. So once again you're wrong.

Murkowski told me she concurs with Susan Collins’ view that Kavanaugh probably wouldn’t overturn Roe.

This cracks me up.

Hope she enjoys the rest of her term.

Abuse is abuse.

Roy Moore on line one ...

Roy Moore had yet to be elected to office, and the decision was up to the people of Alabama. Shockingly enough, they didn't want the man who was 30+ and chasing after high school girls. Times were different then.

Roy Moore wasn't a sitting Senator.

But he was well on his way to being one. (An R in AL.)
