Elizabeth warren is freakin crazy. She is basically saying if you partied as a kid in high school or college then you can’t be a successful person. 

She should stick to the sexual assault issue and stay away from drinking with friends and jokes about doing stupid stuff.

Did she say that? I think she said she can't imagine America wanting someone like that on the supreme court. Being successful and being a supreme Court justice should have two very different bars of what's deemed appropriate behavior.

She’s an idiot either way. She shoulda focused on the sexual assault and not kids drinking in college!!!! The shock of it all!! Who does that????

Then, on Tuesday, an apparently truncated video clip of Judge Kavanaugh giving another speech emerged. Referring to his high school in 2015, he again modified the frequently used cliché: “What happens at Georgetown Prep, stays at Georgetown Prep.”

He added: “That’s been a good thing for all of us, I think.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, tweeted the video of Judge Kavanaugh making the quip and said: “I can’t imagine any parent accepting this view. Is this really what America wants in its next Supreme Court Justice?”


She's not referring to the drinking; she's referring to the "what happens at Georgetown Prep....." statement, which typically is equivalent to "we'll just ignore any bad behaviour from that time and pretend it never happened", like when people refer to Vegas. Was he admitting to wrongdoing during the clip? Who knows.

It just sounds like he was fishing for laughs...making a stupid joke.  Wonder what every other Supreme Court judge was doing in college, let alone any politician.  Making a big deal out of this is only going to result in the majority of people rolling their eyes.  

"what happens in x stays in x" refers specifically to sexual behaviour. it isn't just "partying with the boys". the whole connotation is boys/men going to vegas and being "allowed" to cheat on their wives and treat women as sexual objects.

Really? That is quite a jump. Last time I was in Vegas I saw just as many female tourists as male tourists. So now having sex is equal to treating women as sexual objects? Lol

Trump just might win a 2nd term if this is where we are at. 

women and men interpret that slogan differently. and I'm getting a bit tired of the "if this is where we're at, Trump will win again" BS. 

Bullshit, no they dont. Hell if an assumption you're making there.

I can tell you right now I've had women use me strictly for sex and viewed me as an object to satisfy their sexual urges. Or maybe all hookups and one night stands are non-consensual and men using women as objects? I mean seriously, c'mon.

Newsflash, just as many women cheat on their spouses as men. They enjoy having sex. And just as many women are in Las Vegas looking for a casual hookup. 

talk about leaps. jesus christ. 

yeah, sexuality in advertising is geared equally towards men and women, you're totally right. I can't wait to turn on Oprah and see the Chippendales dancing during a commercial break.

And is that meant to be a slam? You’d definitely slam her if she said that she knew it was true.

I wonder if anyone else on the Supreme Court ever partied in college....I’m going to file this under “I don’t give a shit”.

Do you give a shit about his $200K debt that mysteriously disappeared? Or his perjured testimony? How about a potential gambling problem? Does that bother you?

I care about the potential sexual assault and perjury for sure. Drinking in high school or college? Not relevant.

Bragging about debauchery and saying things like, “what happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep,” May be fine for being the CEO of a large, foreign funded real estate firm but I personally prefer that my Supreme Court Justice nominees have and exhibit a little more character. The world is not a frat party and particularly as they sit in judgement of lower court decisions that can impact my life or that of women. He’s a partisan hack and someone who acts and conducts himself with an air of the rules don’t apply to him.
 
                 

You care that he’s a republican nominee. If this was an obama nominee his drinking and joking wouldn’t be a problem for you.

Exactly, and it is painfully obviously that this is what’s going on here.

Bullshit. Who on here defended Franken? No one that I recall. An SCJ is allowed to have partied in school and had fun, but sexual assault isn't what anyone calls just bad behavior. It's fucking sick and disgusting. If all of the information we have received is true, than this asshole should be removed from the nomination. The same party that wouldn't vote on Garland, is willing to quickly elevate this guy because they are afraid they will lose the votes after November. This is all bullshit. Quit defending Kavanaugh and attacking Warren for questioning this large douchebag being on the SCOTUS. He has a good ol' boy mentality and is the type who cuts back room deals for his buddies. His statements make that pretty obvious.

As far as I am concerned the reasons, in no particular order, that he should not be approved are....

1. Catholic conservative
2. Pro life
3. Believes the president is above the law 
4. Just don't trust him

2, 3 and 4 are fair points if they are important to you.
Why is it okay to discriminate against religion though?

His beliefs are dictated by the pope and the bible.
Maybe I should have said religious  conservative
