We may be looking for an OC in a couple of years.

Kavanaugh is a Bush Republican with an excellent judicial record. He is a mainstream conservative. The only thing controversial about him was what arose as a result of an initially anonymous and perduring unsubstantiated claim of sexual misconduct that was on noone's radar screen as the fella had already passed six FBI background checks. If you mean to imply that Kavanaugh should have been withdrawn once the allegations and Democratic smear tactics ramped up, such a move would only embolden those engaged in such intemperate and scurrilous political tactics to continue doing so to any GOP nominee.

(5) The premise is likely wrong. Kavanaugh has made it crystal clear to traditionalists just how cruel and devious the Left is. If anything, there is greater incentive and passion to keep the Senate GOP.

And if he was actually in the Senate, he'd likely vote no. That's how that crowd rolls.

As to the OP, the main thing is the Supreme Court will no longer be used to circumvent the legislature and impose progressive agendas that can't get through Congress. What the fascist Left counts on is imposing unpopular social engineering by fiat in the courts, raising up young folks in the ideological training centers known as schools, then waiting on traditionalists to die off. That way, they expect a rising generation that will presume the imposed norms are just and acceptable.

I heard Murkowski was likely a no yesterday, so there must have been whispers in that direction. I just rather doubt GOP would have called for a cloture vote without reasonable confidence they had the minimum.

I so want Barrett to be the judge to replace Ginsburg.

I'm not counting on Manchin. I think he only votes yes if it isn't really needed. If Collins is a no, it's trouble.

Do you think Flake or Collins is a no? If not, I don't see how he isn't confirmed.

So you think the vile, power-hungry fascists should be rewarded for acting with malice and deceit, while the exceptionally qualified judge with decades of professional excellence and demonstrated decency and character attested to by literally hundreds of witnesses spanning all of his adult life, along with his innocent family, should be left a life in shambles? Not really sure you've got a good grasp of the concept of justice.

Yes, I hear you. I remember reading a Raymond Chandler novel many moons ago. There was a character who was a taxi driver and he tells Philip Marlowe he is Spanish American. The difference is he was trying to emphasize the American part so he would not be confused with Mexicans. In any event, I dislike the nomenclature as well. I sometimes use it to avoid the hassle that ensues if you ignore it, but in this case I was simply invoking the POV of the moron class and using the rhetoric as they understand it. So corrupt they are nearly beyond satire . . . also, George Soros would like to send you a check for this imporant information.

What a nice . . . smile.

I like her and was hoping Barrett would be selected, but she hasn't been a judge all that long. Progressive fascists would attack her lack of experience for starters. I'm not sure how the Left would try to skewer her and impugn her reputation, but I do know they wouldn't treat her with kid gloves. Only liberal women are women, just as only liberal African Americans are true African Americans who can't be disagreed with without incurring the charge of bigotry. Barrett would probably also have induced even more hysteria from the pro-abortion crowd as it is the crypto sacred rite of their political religion.

I think officially this is supposed to be impossible. I may get grief for saying this, but I don't hate the Leafs. When I was a kid, there were a lot of bandwagon Montreal Canadiens fans (this was the seventies). I rather despised them. I remember watching Leafs' games on the telly. I liked Doug Favell and had a mild affection for the team.

Daboll may turn out to have learned from previous stints and become an excellent OC. At this point, however, he doesn't have even a mediocre NFL track record. If Andy Reid is the coach, the "one driver plan" is justified. In our case, we don't seem to have the ingredients for either approach. Our qb coach mainly coached wr, our o-line coach seems a significant step down from Kromer, our OC is a question mark. Excellent point about McCarron's thin qualifications as a veteran presence. I'd love to have Fitz as the backup/mentor, but surely Moore or Anderson is preferable to Nate Peterman.

Kid has a poor o-line and terrible wr corps, but somehow he should play like a seasoned vet already? Daboll's playcalling was pretty suspect as well. I think he has the talent to be very good, but development is on both Allen, coaches, and FO. I'm more concerned with the latter at this point.

Dems will always find another ditch.

The dim don't know they're dumb. Dumb and despicable allows them to self-righteously act wickedly.

Fine to have a measure of skepticism, though it's also cynical to simply assume that Kavanaugh is lying. You can like beer without being a frat boy. It was also in response to a ridiculous line of questioning in the context of an unprecedented and sustained character assassination. Imo, Ford is either lying or delusional, but certainly the accusation could have been investigated by Maryland authorities (good luck with that) or the FBI could have done something Joe Biden declared worthless back in 1991 (different now for the Left, because when expediency is your defining principle, that's how it is) weeks ago privately. The Dems wanted delay and public exposure, they wanted maximum political carnage, they wanted whatever was necessary to prevent Trump naming a conservative to the Court and taking away their de facto legislative hammer for whatever they can't get through Congress.

Let's hypothetically imagine that Josh Allen turns out to be the qb we hope for. We've waited twenty years for a fella to fill Jim Kelly's shoes. Now you find a genuine franchise qb, but Moneyball suggests trading him for draft capital and salary cap flexibility. You gonna trade the franchise qb bird-in-hand for lottery tickets where the odds are heavily stacked against you winning? Hairbrained idea.

Shameless hypocrisy is considered a virtue by the devil's party.

Others will know for sure. I think she's associated with the Bills' Mafia. Wish she'd post here. She's terrific.

Just wait, especially if they vote Democrat.

I've been here since April 2003 with the same user name.

Well, that's not what I said, but given that your criteria is that of a sophist, I am not surprised by your puerile response.
