SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

[unofan]

Abuse is abuse.

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.

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

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.”

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".

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

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.

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.

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.)

But you'll vote R below the bottom line.

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?).

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.)

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.

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."

Count my girlfriend and myself as two people who have voted R for 18 years who will no longer be doing so. Incredibly embarassed by this "investigation" and it's the final straw if he gets confirmed.

I’m thinking of the most pivotal moments of my life. I can’t tell you with precision where I was or when it was.

even something as recent as 9/11. I know what teacher was in charge of the class I was in, but I can’t remember what classroom or who was all in it. It was calc, but I’m not sure which calc.

I can’t remember where or when we put our dog down. But I can tell you a few scattered details.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like trying to recall things from 30 years ago. I’m only 33 and barely remember anything from 25 years ago. Not only that, but the complex psychological processes that go on to victims of trauma.

There are very, very few events in my life I can remember with broad accuracy.
