    Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

    I just read this in an NY Post article:

    Democrat Joe *Biden, head of the Judiciary Committee, set the rule in 1992 of no confirmations in the final year of a presidential term while George H.W. Bush was president.
    Fact or crap?

      I'm going with crap since the only justice nominated in the final year of a presidency since 92 was Garland.

        Probably out of obligation, not desire.

          The actual flying doesn't bother me. It's the takeoff/landing. And I have rarely done it out of obligation.

            They also had a cloture rule. Senate makes whatever rules they want when they start up every two years. Article I, Section 5, Paragraph 2. Usually they try not to change it much, but sometimes the times change.

              Hey, that's fair. I have acrophobia, basophobia, and other personal convictions, so I don't fly. Made 2.5 cross country drives (the half being the short way, i.e. north-south), and they were a heck of a lot more fun than sitting in a fuselage ruining my elbows on a serving cart.

                So flake admitted tonight he would not have called for the FBI investigation if he was up for re-election.
                Honestly is good I guess, but goes to show how broken this is.

                  Instead she got transcontinental travel, TV cameras, and probably a visit from the FBI.

                  I think we all owe her some empathy just for that.
                  Can't I show some simple humanity for a human being having a very rough week?
                  Still with the anonymity canard. Figures, coming from you.

                          You know what? I believe you, Flag. You are afraid of many things, that much is clear.

                          We are all sorry that you feel that way.

                            I believe he also said that if it is proven Kavanaugh lied the nomination is dead. The statement from his classmate at Yale seems to cast doubt on whether Brett was truthful...just saying.

                              I don't think anything regarding lying about "Devil's Triangle" or "boofing" is in play. Only lying about the assault. Which they will not prove because everything I hear this morning is the FBI is being handcuffed by the Trump administration regarding this investigation.

                              Republicans are playing a bit of sleight of hand here.

                              I also heard enough to indicate that the richer you are the more you identify with Kavanaugh. Apparently this is what rich white men do is go to prep school, molest women, and drink a lot of beer. And they don't like their high school party culture being exposed and they don't like their male heir's having to answer for it.

                              This gets swept under the rug by the end of the week and Kavanaugh goes through with Collins, Flake and Murkowski voting in the affirmative.
