SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

[unofan]

Amy Coney Barrett.

(I'm tellin' ya, if Kavanaugh bails or fails the next candidate will not be male.)

No shiat, Sherlock. In any normal administration she'd already be the replacement nominee because Kavanaugh would've been withdrawn weeks ago.

Turtle Boy is back on the floor crying about how Kavanaugh has been treated and crying about how life isn't fair. Pretty amazing. I'll bet there are at least 10 on that list of Trump's like Gorsuch who wouldn't have had any of this happen and they're all just as bad for Roe vs. Wade, Corporate rulings, etc.

Yeah but the base will eat it up...well except the women who were raped by his base.

Hey Itch you know who else life isnt fair for, the people in Kentucky out of work and with awful health care coverage (and no money) because of your policies. Maybe you should care more about them than putting through a nominee who openly whines about Liberal Conspiracies against him like a State Senator caught banging his secretary.

They didnt ask him about his alcohol consumption now. They asked him about his alcohol consumption in HS and college AFTER he already talked about how he drank (beer, lots of beer, he loves beer, have you had a beer Senator?) so even by MN rules I am not sure they did anything improper. Just like no Dem asked his religion (only a GOPer would do that) and he made sure the world knew his marital status before he even spoke.

There's a key: If the candidate freely offers it up, as the interviewer you're clean.

In Minnesota it is a no-no to ask job applicants about their alcohol consumption, assuming it takes place during non-work hours and off premises.

Interesting and awful that both parties see a meaningful midterm advantage from losing on the Kavanaugh issue.

Quite horrifying.
