    There must be something really bad in the reports. The only thing I can think of is that it's more cover-up.

    Mitch McConnell Says FBI’s Kavanaugh Report Won’t Be Made Public
    Democrats say the American people should see the results before the full Senate votes on the Supreme Court nominee.

    Why be so desperate to confirm Kavanaugh? Who paid off his debts, I wonder? Something really smells badly. Like really badly. Must be another Clinton conspiracy.

    If they don't make it public, someone will definitely leak it anyway. So ridiculous that we the people are being kept in the dark about a lifetime appointment that impacts the entire country and could influence global decisions as well.

    I still don't understand why any further discovery really needs to be made after all the blatant lies about his past and the overly partisan diatribe he gave as an opening statement. Most publicly biased judge to sit on the bench.

    There’s that classic saying that if the prefix con- is the opposite of pro- does that make Congress the opposite of progress?

    With this administration, yes. Yes it does.

    She's just a voice actor who thought it would be funny to mimic Dr. Ford's voice. She later apologized for her insensitivity and noted that she very much sides with Dr. Ford's testimony -- that's her take on the hearing, FWIW.

    Ok.  Did you happen to see any of the hate mail that Rachel Butera received?  Before she took it down and apologized? 
    You know damn well that if she had double down or not apologized or not said what she was supposed to say, that Disney would drop her. I assume she wants to keep her acting career intact.  It's just like when Kanye West wanders off and says stuff that he's not supposed to say people freek out.  The difference is Kayne West doesn't back down.
    I don't blame Rachel  for not wanting her acting career to end today.  She said what she needed to say.  She's lucky she still has her job.

    This is the 'control-alt-delete' phrase for the base.

    When they hear this from their leader... all the concerns that might have started to arise within their super intelligent brains just go away and they become reinvigorated again- hating democrats with an even greater tension level given the attack they surmounted against their mushroom-dicked, tubby leader.

  • The Senate Should Not Confirm Kavanaugh Signed, 1,000+ Law Professors (and Counting)

    OCT. 3, 2018

    The following letter will be presented to the United States Senate on Oct. 4. It will be updated as more signatures are received.

    Judicial temperament is one of the most important qualities of a judge. As the Congressional Research Service explains, a judge requires “a personality that is even-handed, unbiased, impartial, courteous yet firm, and dedicated to a process, not a result.” The concern for judicial temperament dates back to our founding; in Federalist 78, titled “Judges as Guardians of the Constitution,” Alexander Hamilton expressed the need for “the integrity and moderation of the judiciary.”

    We are law professors who teach, research and write about the judicial institutions of this country. Many of us appear in state and federal court, and our work means that we will continue to do so, including before the United States Supreme Court. We regret that we feel compelled to write to you, our Senators, to provide our views that at the Senate hearings on Sept. 27, Judge Brett Kavanaugh displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land.

    The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry. Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners. Even in his prepared remarks, Judge Kavanaugh described the hearing as partisan, referring to it as “a calculated and orchestrated political hit,” rather than acknowledging the need for the Senate, faced with new information, to try to understand what had transpired. Instead of trying to sort out with reason and care the allegations that were raised, Judge Kavanaugh responded in an intemperate, inflammatory and partial manner, as he interrupted and, at times, was discourteous to senators.

    As you know, under two statutes governing bias and recusal, judges must step aside if they are at risk of being perceived as or of being unfair. As Congress has previously put it, a judge or justice “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” These statutes are part of a myriad of legal commitments to the impartiality of the judiciary, which is the cornerstone of the courts.

    We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh. But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land.

  • The Senate Should Not Confirm Kavanaugh Signed, 1,000+ Law Professors (and Counting)

    OCT. 3, 2018

    The following letter will be presented to the United States Senate on Oct. 4. It will be updated as more signatures are received.

    Judicial temperament is one of the most important qualities of a judge. As the Congressional Research Service explains, a judge requires “a personality that is even-handed, unbiased, impartial, courteous yet firm, and dedicated to a process, not a result.” The concern for judicial temperament dates back to our founding; in Federalist 78, titled “Judges as Guardians of the Constitution,” Alexander Hamilton expressed the need for “the integrity and moderation of the judiciary.”

    We are law professors who teach, research and write about the judicial institutions of this country. Many of us appear in state and federal court, and our work means that we will continue to do so, including before the United States Supreme Court. We regret that we feel compelled to write to you, our Senators, to provide our views that at the Senate hearings on Sept. 27, Judge Brett Kavanaugh displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land.

    The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry. Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners. Even in his prepared remarks, Judge Kavanaugh described the hearing as partisan, referring to it as “a calculated and orchestrated political hit,” rather than acknowledging the need for the Senate, faced with new information, to try to understand what had transpired. Instead of trying to sort out with reason and care the allegations that were raised, Judge Kavanaugh responded in an intemperate, inflammatory and partial manner, as he interrupted and, at times, was discourteous to senators.

    If I am wrong later I will admit it but which way do these judges vote?

    Agreed. 

    If they they presented their case in the form of a pop up book... they'd stand a chance!
