DC Tom

"Are you angry about being set up in a kangaroo court?" "Do you think the Senate Judicial committee consists of 21 Romper Room rejects?"

I'm from MD. The three second rule here is "If it's on the floor for three seconds, it's a $500 fine for polluting the Chesapeake Bay watershed." They want a week long delay so they have another week to come up with more delays. I don't think a poly delays things enough. An FBI investigation sure does...because first you have to argue about jurisdiction, then have the investigation, then challenge the investigation in court on jurisdictional grounds, which starts with figuring out which court should have jurisdiction over the challenge... I can think of plenty of legal and sane ways to string this out for a couple of years. I'm sure the Democrats will find a way that's illegal and stupid ("Kavanaugh got a speeding ticket in 1989. We know he's a raging alcoholic. Was he drunk when he got the ticket? We need an investigation!")

That's where, when Nancy Pelosi's face falls off, you have two hours to put it back on and give her another botox shot.

Point of note: that's still all any of this is. Delay. Democrats lost the filibuster, thanks to themselves, so they're pulling out all the stops to keep this from the floor. What's really amusing is you now have people complaining about the electoral college also complaining about the "tyranny of the majority" who also applauded when Obama told Republicans "elections have consequences." There's no rhyme or reason to these people's attitudes except "I want things my way, now!!!"

It won't. You really think a week-long delay settles anything down? This encourages the Jacobins to double-down on their bull **** tactics, confirms the legal principle of "guilty until proven innocent," encourages rule by mob hysteria...the next time they don't get their way, someone's going to get shot. If I'm Trump, I tell the Senate "!@#$ you, the FBI's done their investigation. File a criminal complaint with Maryland, or shut the !@#$ up and vote." If I'm Kavanaugh, I release a statement saying "This process has been perverted all principles of American government and jurisprudence, and I can no longer in good faith take part in it" and walk away without saying another goddamn word. This is !@#$ing ridiculous. We're making the !@#$ing Italians under Berlusconi look sane and coherent.

Unless they're having the FBI investigate Feinstein and Harris for violating victims' rights in this whole circus, it's bull ****.

Or he's posting random bull **** that makes no sense and no one understands. Given past history, which do you think is more likely?

If the pilot ejected, they're probably dead. The F-35 has a nice "feature" where the "smart" helmet is so heavy and unbalanced that ejecting comes with a high risk of having your neck snapped. At one point, the Air Force advised some smaller pilots that it was safer to ride the plane in. The JSF is such a !@#$ing turkey.

The simple fact this post is so completely devoid of content that it doesn't put your stupidity on display makes it your most intelligent post ever.

I'm pretty sure all the Senate Dems will walk out of the final vote if they know all the Republicans are voting to confirm. A couple of fence-sitting Republicans should let leak they're deciding to vote against, just to get the Democrats to stay for the vote. Then vote for, with the Democrats present, so the Democrats have participated and can't argue there wasn't a quorum and Democrats weren't represented at the vote.

Sometimes there's valid reasons. But walking out of a vote in a fit of pique because you can't get your way because your a great big !@#$tard who turned a confirmation into a political hatchet job should be grounds.

Gee, thanks Booker. Considering you're one of the asshats who caused it to begin with. Think about this: the Democrats who are walking out are effectively protesting the principle of "innocent until proven guilty."

#NotAllSouls

Reminder: they just attempted to try a criminal case in a goddamn Senate committee hearing. The !@#$? That's exactly what the Democrats tried to do. And his name is racist.

I vote asshat. It better fits his inconsistency.

Thanks, Obama!

"Ski" was code for "gang rape" among high schoolers in the early '80s. Must be, because...Kavanaugh.

It IS already sealed. The time for prevention is well past (has been for about 20 years), and we should be planning remediation. Anyone who understands the science knows that.

The ABA knows better. Probably a Chinese spy. We'll never get that far. This system is going to collapse before we do.

Well...consider the source...

Of course not.

Holy ****. I actually tweeted something substantially similar to the above, and changed someone's mind. This really is the !@#$ing apocalypse.

This wasn't a "victory" for anybody. Everyone came away pissed-off and oppressed.

CA has already decreed the possession of souls as discriminatory against the soulless (a/k/a "Gweneth's Law"). So theirs are probably already gone.

Interesting...did Ford finally decide it was 1982 and not 1983?
