Re: SCOTUS 12: Will Kavanaugh Be Confirmed?

Seriously though. Where are all the articles about him being shrill and hysterical? He was shrieking at senators.

Ok that clears things up, I didn’t realize they had a serious third party candidate further to the right (you don’t see that in many states).

He’s not a serious candidate but he does pull enough numbers to try to ruin things for Murkowski.

Murkowski also gets buoyed by the fact the Democrats never run serious candidates against her. Though if she votes yes that will change.

I have to imagine all of the current justices are just seething that this dipsh-t is going to be their colleague.

Except for Thomas. Of course.

Oh good. The whataboutism part of your brain isn’t damaged. I’m relieved.

WaPo is on the case.

To Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ford offered some ways in which the time frame of Judge’s employment might be ascertained by the committee: perhaps “through employment records or the IRS or anything,” she said.
There’s a better source, as it turns out: Judge’s book, “Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk,” published in 1997.
In one passage, beginning on Page 92, Judge describes his time working at a grocery store in the context of his drinking problem. Emphasis added.

"It was the summer before senior year, and by now, even though I wasn’t drinking every day, I was completely hooked. Going a week without getting drunk was unthinkable. I was spending between four and seven nights with the gang, either at a party or at O’Rourke’s."

Elsewhere in the book, Judge describes one of his acquaintances at the time, someone named “Bart O’Kavanaugh,” who vomited in a car after a party.
Judge continues. Emphasis again added.

"Of course, alcoholics also get into all kinds of trouble because of their drinking. When they supersede their own tolerance, they suffer catastrophic hangovers. These can make getting through the day an Olympic event. This was never more evident to me than when, to raise money for football camp, I spent a few weeks working as a bag boy at the local supermarket.
My job was simple. People would leave their grocery baskets against a rail in front of the store, then pull their cars around. I would then sling their groceries in the car, sometimes get a small tip, and then wait for the next car.
It was a nightmare. Invariably I would be hungover — or still drunk — when I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together."

Football camp started Aug. 22, 1982. Judge worked for a grocery store for several weeks before that camp, meaning that he probably worked there for a period in late July to mid-August.

Ford said she saw him working at a store between six and eight weeks after the alleged incident. The end of that period — obviously just an estimated window — could overlap with any point of Judge’s tenure at the store. The alleged incident could have been six weeks before Aug. 22, for example, or it could have been eight weeks before the end of July.
That window, it’s worth noting, could include July 1, a day on which Kavanaugh’s calendar lists, “Go to Timmy’s for Skis w/ Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie, Squi.” What “skis” refers to isn’t clear, but it might be a reference to “brewskis,” a then-popular slang term for beer. “Judge” refers to Mark Judge; “PJ” to Patrick Smyth, who Ford on Thursday again indicated was also at the gathering where she alleges she was assaulted.

Forget it god told him women only matter when they are fetuses.

BTW wouldn't he now need to recuse himself in anything Clinton/Democrat related since he flat out said this is part of a Left Wing Clinton conspiracy? How can he be called impartial...

Think about that, a Flaggy style conspiracy theorist might get confirmed to the highest court.

I love how some people use terms like "nationals" or "the several states" to make themselves sound smart. Do you even realize "nationals" and "citizens" are two different things? Do yourself a favor, don't try to sounds smarter than you actually are. If you're talking about those people of Japanese descent who were rounded up and imprisoned in an act of pure racism during World War 2 just refer them as U.S. CITIZENS, which the overwhelming majority were.

OK, so then what is it? You're so ****ing curious and so ****ing sure it's not that, so state your claim. C'mon, stop dancing around, state it.
