I wonder what will happen if they actually elect him??
They’ll confirm him and he’ll gladly give paid speeches to the Heritage Foundation and at other conservative retreats and talk about how evil those libs are but now Team Trump Treason is safe so we can bring about the second coming.
Keep in mind this is a vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee which will happen at 9:30 on Friday. If the nomination is approved by the committee it will be brought to the full senate for the actual confirmation vote. They must feel like they have the votes to do this, but we'll see how they feel after Thursday's hearing, and the possibility (probability?) of additional information being made public which could affect the votes.

Are the SCOTUS judges allowed to partake in partisan activities??
The SCOTUS is really weird to me in general. A good number of those judges are clearly not at all doing the job they are supposed to be doing. If they all were doing their jobs properly, there wouldn't be so many split decisions. The fact that this nomination/confirmation process is so partisan further proves that the SCOTUS is completely broken. It's pretty scary. These judges are supposed to be the highest judges in the world, but seem to be some of the least impartial judges I ever heard of. It's so fucked up.

See Thomas, Clarence; wife of same. See also Scalia, Antonin. The religious right has demanded a stacked court in an effort to overturn roe v Wade and other social issues they see as threatening the sweet baby Jesus and mankind. Seriously, listen, watch or read Senator Whitehouse’s opening statement. 73-0, the Roberts 5.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of all that. That's why I think it's fucked. I did not know, however, that they were allowed to go around making partisan speeches like you suggested.

It didn’t used to be that way. SC justices used to keep a very low profile and respectful of their role as a check/balance of power. Staying above the fray so to speak. Not so much anymore.
On Monday night, Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh said in a nationally televised interview that in his younger years, he was focused on sports, academics and “service projects.” But it was his comments about drinking that rankled some Yale University classmates, prompting them to speak out for the first time.
Liz Swisher, who described herself as a friend of Kavanaugh in college, said she was shocked that — in an interview focused largely on his high school years and allegations of sexual misconduct — he strongly denied drinking to the point of blacking out.
“Brett was a sloppy drunk, and I know because I drank with him. I watched him drink more than a lot of people. He’d end up slurring his words, stumbling,” said Swisher, a Democrat and chief of the gynecologic oncology division at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “There’s no medical way I can say that he was blacked out. . . . But it’s not credible for him to say that he has had no memory lapses in the nights that he drank to excess.”
Lynne Brookes, who like Swisher was a college roommate of one of the two women now accusing Kavanaugh of misconduct, said the nominee’s comments on Fox did not match the classmate she remembered.
“He’s trying to paint himself as some kind of choir boy,” said Brookes, a Republican and former pharmaceutical executive who recalled an encounter with a drunken Kavanaugh at a fraternity event. “You can’t lie your way onto the Supreme Court, and with that statement out, he’s gone too far. It’s about the integrity of that institution.”

He knows he did it...I said from the beginning that he should have just admitted it, if he would have said "I was a stupid KID and drank too much sometimes...it is possible that I did very stupid things when I was very drunk and if that is the case I apologize for it"
We wouldn't be here if he would have admitted it. He would have been confirmed already.

I wonder if the WH vetting process is known or should be known? If they asked the questions about questionable or embarrassing behavior in his past, including excessive alcohol or any drug use, did he lie or did the WH know or did his vetting consist of, what’s you favorite color, when’s your birthday and are you a Nats fan?
@RoleModelsinBlood31 would you hire someone or keep them on if you knew they lied to you during the face to face interview?
Can someone give me a quick summary of the yearbook thing? My data signal is weak and if I navigate away from here I won't make much progress.
Here are a few paragraphs from the NYT story about it. I think this part pretty much tells the story of what it's about:
"Brett
Kavanaugh’s page in his high school yearbook offers a glimpse of the
teenage years of the man who is now President Trump’s Supreme Court
nominee: lots of football, plenty of drinking, parties at the beach.
Among the reminiscences about sports and booze is a mysterious entry:
“Renate Alumnius.”
The word “Renate”
appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983
yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football
players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate
Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder (now Renate Schroeder Dolphin), then a student at a
nearby Catholic girls’ school.
Two of
Judge Kavanaugh’s classmates say the mentions of Renate were part of
the football players’ unsubstantiated boasting about their conquests.
“They
were very disrespectful, at least verbally, with Renate,” said Sean
Hagan, a Georgetown Prep student at the time, referring to Judge
Kavanaugh and his teammates. “I can’t express how disgusted I am with
them, then and now.”.............
.........When Ms. Dolphin signed the Sept. 14 letter, she wasn’t aware of the “Renate” yearbook references on the pages of Judge Kavanaugh and his football teammates.
“I
learned about these yearbook pages only a few days ago,” Ms. Dolphin
said in a statement to The New York Times. “I don’t know what ‘Renate
Alumnus’ actually means. I can’t begin to comprehend what goes through
the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation
is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue. I pray their daughters are
never treated this way. I will have no further comment.”
but that was just a joke wasn't it? i thought comedy didn't upset you? I don't find it funny of course.
Kay, this is getting boring, but to clarify, I never once said that no jokes upset or offend me. I also never said, obviously, that all jokes are funny.
must have been hacked
I beg your pardon? Are you trying to claim that I did say that? Read again. I did not. I said it is irrelevant if people get offended by a joke. That includes me, if I find a joke offensive and inappropriate. And of course I didn't say all jokes are funny.
Look, I know you're having trouble with the nuances of my opinion on this (and comedy in general). I forgive you for not being able to understand fully.

But it was a long time ago, when boys will be boys. Why didn’t she go to the police? It’s just an allegation, we need proof. Why should something you did 35 years ago prevent you from getting a job today? What about his reputation? She’s just a mad dem hired to ruin him.
Even if we don't focus on the sexual assaults we still have him on lying.
His own roommate came out and said that he was lying about his drinking, etc. As did several other people.

But Team Trump Treason lies 5-8 times a day with over 5,000 false or misleading statements since taking office. Nobody cares. But if Kavanaugh gets seated and I had to argue before the SC, I’d tell as many lies and embellishments as possible to bolster my argument. Facts clearly no longer matter.
\8. I observed Brett Kavanaugh drink excessively at many of these parties and engage in abusive and physically aggressive behavior toward girls, including pressing girls against him without their consent, "grinding" against girls, and attempting to remove or shift girls' clothing to expose private body parts. I likewise observed him be verbally abusive towards girls by making crude sexual comments to them that were designed to demean, humiliate and embarrass them. I often witnessed Brett Kavanaugh speak in a demeaning manner about girls in general as well as specific girls by name. I also witnessed Brett Kavanaugh behave as a "mean drunk" on many occassions at these parties.
\9. I have been told by other women that this conduct also occurred during the Summer months in Ocean City, Maryland on numerous occasions. I also witnessed such conduct on one occasion in Ocean City, Maryland during "Beach Week."
\10. I have reviewed Brett Kavanaugh's recent claim on Fox News regarding his alleged "innocence" during his high school years and lack of sexual activity. This claim is absolutely false and a lie. I witnessed Brett Kavanaugh consistently engage in excessive drinking and inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women during the early 1980s.
\11. During the years 1981-82, I became aware of efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to "spike" the "punch" at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say "No." This caused me to make an effort to purposely avoid the "punch" at these parties. I witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to "target" particular girls so they could be taken advantage of; it was usually a girl that was especially vulnerable because she was alone at the party or shy.
\12. I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be "gang raped" in a side room or bedroom by a "train" of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their "turn" with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.
\13. In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these "gang" or "train" rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people. During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking.
\14. I am aware of other witnesses that can attest to the truthfulness of each of the statements above.
I declare, under penalty of perjury and under the laws of the United States of America, that the foregoing is true and correct. I have executed this declaration on September 25, 2018.
Well things just got a whole lot worse for the judge. Should be interesting to see what happens now. Looks that that FBI investigation would have been the right call huh?
honestly, I don’t know how any senator could vote for this guy anymore.
Question: she knows these guys are drugging and gang raping girls in 1981... and she continues to hang out with them, becoming a victim herself in 1982?
