  • Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

    The thing a lot of righties seem to forget is this is a job interview.

    If Joe Schmoe were applying to literally any company and someone from his past contacted the company and put forth these kind of allegations, his application process would end right there. Without question.

    Curious, how do you differentiate the two?

    I don't get how there's still confusion about this. It's pretty clear and isn't complicated.

      This whole thing reminds me of a quote from the movie "Devil's Advocate:"

      Kevin Lomax: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I know you've spent all morning listening to Mr. Broygo talk; I know you're hungry; what I need to tell you won't take very long at all. I don't like Alexander Cullen. I don't think he's a nice person. I don't expect you to like him. He's been a terrible husband to all three of his wives; he's been a destructive force in the lives of his stepchildren; he's cheated the city, his partners, his employees. He's paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties and fines over the years. I don't like him. I'm going to tell you some things during the course of this trial that are going to make you like him even less. But this isn't a popularity contest; it's a murder trial.

      He may be a complete unqualified bastige, but is Kav a sex offender? I don't know that we'll ever know.

      burd: it matters for future people who are under the microscope. If an unproven allegation is enough to convict a person in the popular view....that's dangerous.

        Ummm, so why is Kavanaugh asking people about Debbie Ramirez before her story even became public? Perhaps he knew something that had happened between himself and her a long time ago?
        Yeah, this should be disqualifying. Why hasn't he been pulled?

              It's a public, not court, trial. It's still a trial.

              See also: Ellison in MN. IMO, that allegation is becoming sketchier by the day.

              Point being, this is a person's life we're talking about. If an allegation can ruin a person's life, even if proven false, and I have provided previous examples in past threads...that's dangerous.

                                Yep, agree with unofan. I had a friend in college who would get blackout drunk, in that he was functioning, we partied with him all night, but talking to him the next day, large chunks of the night were missing. Like the night that all he remembers is drinking two long island pitchers around 10pm, dancing, then the next thing he remembers is when we were tobogganing down his behind campus at 2am and he came out of his blackout as his sled was heading directly to a tree line at high speed.

                                Passed out means your body isn't functioning at that moment and makes a great whiteboard for sharpie at parties.
