Yes. That's true. If he were black then we'd think he's innocent.

I don’t get the impression the average person cares a lot about this in Maine. Also, Collins will be 68 in 2020 and might decide not to run. I doubt she lets 2020 have much impact in her decision.

Had to read one of Dershowitz's books in college. Can't figure out what he's doing in the Trump camp. Getting paid handsomely, I suppose.

He got old. He was always a pontificating windbag but in his old age he became embittered.

The sanctimony being exhibited by Turtle Boy on the Senate Floor right now is making me ****ing puke.

He's spreading a conspiracy theory that the Democrats orchestrated this whole thing.
 
Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

So awesome that the Senate acts more and more like the wacky House. No, not awesome, that other word.
 
Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

It looks like the death throes of a demographic's hold on power. Perhaps it's not, but I hope it is.

Fox Bidnez Channel claims the FBI might be done with its follow-ups ... tomorrow. :eek:
 
Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation

The one thing that's bugging me...the angle that he's a heavy drinker obviously means he committed the assault because he was blackout drunk/etc. I have known a couple alcoholics, and they never assaulted women. They just got really drunk. Just because one thing is true, doesn't mean the other is true. The alcohol might have accelerated the decision to assault Ford, but that wouldn't be the booze's fault. That would be on him and his attitude/thinking/etc in the first place.

That being said, if he has/had that kind of problem, I'd look at that nomination again, but that would be a separate issue.

Flake says he wants a real investigation by the FBI according to NBC.

But he's denied being that kind of drinker. If he was, he lied about it.

And that's the separate issue part. Right now, I'm concentrating on the assault issue. After that's resolved, then we move on to the "fit to be a Justice" part, which would involve lying about being that kind of drinker.
