This is now being mindlessly parroted throughout the leftist propaganda machine.
quote
"Part of the court's legitimacy depends on people not seeing the court in the way that people see the rest of the governing structures of this country now. In other words, people thinking of the court as not politically divided in the same way, as not an extension of politics, but instead somehow above the fray," she said.
I am having trouble with this quote. I never saw this nomination as "political", it is a social issue. He is a counterbalance to Ruth and Soto. Who BTW don't rule according to the Constitution, they make rulings based on feelings. Bret, promises to rule according to the Constitution. Second, it is the Democrats who are partisan and making it an ugly embarrassing "looking" process. If we are going to talk "legitimacy" we must first prove that we are honest about it, boot Ruth and Soto,,,,.... then I am assured that legitimacy is desired.

Right, but her kids were attacked, sometimes physically by Lefties. And it only got worse and worse with the media pushing the violence, even laughing about a man assaulting her daughter.
99% of what was said about Palin was made up crap by the left. It was all designed to destroy her, and it should have sickened the country. It didn't though. a lot of people bought into the hate, and continue it to this day. She was a great politician, and actually helped Alaska a lot... But it doesn't matter because she threatened the establishment, causing them to destroy her and her family... Just like they are doing with the current threats. President Trump is attacked constantly, and most of the stuff is made up. Kavanaugh is constantly attacked by the left... And it's also made up bullshit.
"The ayes are 50. The nays are 48. The nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh of Maryland to an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is CONFIRMED."

YES, SANITY FINALLY PREVAILS in such a primal and mentally ill environment.
“We shouldn’t rush a nomination, we should wait for the American people to decide by voting in November! Holding up the Supreme Court nomination process is our duty as lawmakers!”
Now:
“The democrats are obstructionists! We need to rush this as quickly as possible! Everything against us is a deep state conspiracy!”
A Supreme Court nominee nominated by a president elected by the minority of the population, who is deeply partisan and far right wing, voted through by senators who represent a minority of the population of the United States, and claiming that there is a deep state conspiracy against him(that for some reason the Clintons still have something to do with? Lol). Also the narrowest nomination in over 100 years along partisan lines for a lifetime appointment.
You guys are the very definition of hypocrites and you ARE the “deep state”.
The political lynching of the Dems will continue though. They vow to impeach him as soon as they take over Congress.
Funny, that the Dems allow their own, like Senator Martinez who was alleged to engaged in with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic and the likes of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton, but the fake charge by Ford is something they can't set aside?
Well, looks like they will toss out Blasey Ford. They don't need her anymore. The money will stop, the attention will stop and the lawyers will go away. She will be cast out and forgotten. That is how Dems use people.
This isn't a Presidential election year. Kav was nominated in early July, its October already.
Sotomayor was nominated and voted in within 2 months, Kagan around the same time frame.
There was no 'rush' on Kavanagh, that isn't out of normal time frame from nominees in the past.
Stop actin like it’s different than garland. Just because it’s not a presidential election year doesn’t make it different than what you guys preached two years ago. Scalia died in February. The republicans made sure that a moderate justice was not put in for TEN MONTHS because it was “an election year”.
Also, you rush to call Fords accusations fake. That’s why she has corroborated witnesses that said she had been trying to deal with this for years right? And why her therapist had notes going back years? It was all a long con right? Everything is a Clinton Soros liberal conspiracy against conservatives right? I have been constantly told I have victim complex here yet the republicans have gerrymandered their way into congress and gotten the executive branch with a minority of votes and you guys STILL claim everything is a deep state conspiracy. You’re projection is unreal. The republicans run this country through tyranny of the minority and somehow the democrats are the deep state threat..

Whether I like it or not, you can thank Dirty Harry, if he hadn't changed the rules, this would not have been possible. He was begged/warned not to go there but, the Dems had their agenda. Don't expect me to feel bad about putting a good man and proven impartial jurist on SCOTUS.
The Six Ps are very applicable here. Poor Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Liberals started this.
To all Conservatives, this isn't over. A bias'd media is ramping up the anger on the Liberal side, they will go to the polls in November. If you don't, don't start bitching about the government you get.
“We shouldn’t rush a nomination, we should wait for the American people to decide by voting in November! Holding up the Supreme Court nomination process is our duty as lawmakers!”
Now:

You misunderstand, Most people are frustrated by the stall tactics, but both side use the widely accepted practice. BUT this is not about the stall tactics that Republicans AND Democrats use, it is about the criminal lying that has been used to "Bork" Bret. There is no reasonable use for such low life tactics in civilized societies. And I will say again that Ford is a criminal, she has lied under oath in a Senate hearing. Oh...... my bad now I am doing what the liberals have done to Bret,... presumed guilty until the job is done. She and the liberals that backed her, and payed her to testify are are just as guilty.

It makes me think that Mitch McConnell would be a better Senate Majority Leader if he had allowed the Merrick Garland SCOTUS nomination during Obama's final year to proceed to an Up or Down vote, and at the same time, underlined in a very public way the contrast between that and what Senator Joe Biden was advocating.
The hypothetical Republican campaign ad that Mitch McConnell turned into an impossibility:
quote
The Republicans, under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are in line with long accepted Senate norms and the intent of the Founding Fathers, in respecting the serving President's constitutionally ordained role in selecting members for the Supreme Court.
Contrast this with Joe Biden, the prominent Democratic Party senator from Delaware. Look at this (video segment) obstructionist position on judicial appointments that Joe Biden advocated, when George W. Bush was President.
Can you spell S-C-U-M-B-A-G ?
McConnell did not want to obligate himself and the other Senate Republicans to explain it for the public, if it had come to an Up or Down vote and if they had to put themselves on record with "No" votes on Merrick Garland. So they broke with long accepted Senate norms to stop the Merrick Garland nomination from proceeding to a vote. And the legacy of the Founding Fathers took another "hit".
That's the impression of it that I have.

I have two questions for you:
1) From where do you derive the authority to instruct anyone on how to act?
2) Can you name the witnesses and describe the evidence? The FBI apparently could not.
If I had a therapist (which, unlike most leftists, I do not need) and I had told her that I was abducted by aliens, that would be included in her notes, too. However, with the notable exception of two girls I once met in a bar in Tucson, I most certainly have not been abducted by aliens.
Also, of course not everything is a Clinton/Soros conspiracy. For example: bacon. Bacon was invented by good ol' boy conservatives. Oh, and beer; another conservative invention, we knew we would need something to celebrate things like Presidential elections and Supreme Court Justice confirmations.

I won't prejudge him (Kavanaugh) on judicial decisions that he has not yet rendered.
It might be best if they did not give him a key to the Supreme Court's backroom, where they keep the liquor cabinet and the compact fridge that has the beers and white wines.
A section of the letter that "Bart" Kavanaugh [allegedly] wrote to seven of his Georgetown Prep classmates in 1983 as they descended on a property in Ocean City for 'Beach Week', including a suggestion the neighbors should be warned of 'loud, obnoxious drunks' [with prolific pukers among us] heading their way. As reported by the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk...nks-1983-letter.html
The handwritten missive was closed with "FFFFF [from] Bart."
Maybe this "FFFFF"..?

The impression that I have is that obama nominated a person that the Republicans did not want. So, they made sure "legally" and WITHOUT blatant lies AND following a strategy that the Democrats have used, to make sure a no good Judge was NOT appointed.
First, the FBI investigation was a total sham. They were given one week to investigate and had restrictions on who they could interview and what questions they could ask. Also, senators got one hour to split a single copy? Can any of you justify that? You guys are so eager to call her a liar, with no evidence. This is why women around this country are terrified to come out, simply because you care more about calling them criminals than finding the truth. You guys claim that the metoo movement and BLM divided the country? All they are doing is exposing the oppression that people like you push under the rug. You are fine to not believe her, but calling her a criminal is dangerous. You have zero evidence for your claims. If this was a conspiracy, why do something that is so easy to defeat? Also why not do it against Trumps first nominee?

Originally posted by Threedog: This is why women around this country are terrified to come out, simply because you care more about calling them criminals than finding the truth.
The truth is that women like Ford, Feinstein and Katz are making it tough on those who have a legitimate complaint. This is why as small children, we were all told the story of the boy who cried wolf. It's really not as complicated as some would have us believe.

Is is important that there is no misunderstanding on this. 1. The FBI has done SEVEN COMPLETE background checks on this man. They came up with NOTHING. As Joe Biden said, "Anyone who thinks that this is what the FBI does doesn't know anything." The democrats demanded that the FBI investigate, despite being advised of the futility, which they knew it would be, before the investigation started. The timeframe was effectively set by the democrats, as a reasonable time to delay the "rush". The senators set the limits on the scope--not the White House. It was a delaying tactic on the part of the democrats. The tactic ultimately failed. 2. After asking for the FBI to be given a week to investigate, AND setting the scope, the democrats are crying about the result, solely because the result was not in their favor. The democrats yhen blame the White House for interfering in the investigation, and then have the gall to accuse the White House of not expanding the investigation? Wouldn't that be interference? 3. What questions? The FBI has limitations on what they do. Whom do you suggest should dictate their job to them? 4. ONLY 1 hour? How long does it take 100 senators to read the word "NOTHING"? 5. As to whom the FBI should interview, they follow evidence--not baseless claims. The party event did not happen. Kavanaugh was not there. End of story. Sure, something happened to Ford. She needs to deal with what actually happened. 6. Ford was seriously prepped. Ford lied about never having helped someone else prep for a polygraph. Ford lied about the ftont door. Ford lied about the party. Ford lied about her fear of flying--and even contradicted herself under oath. 7. I must have missed where Ford has been called a crimminal, until you made that call. She certainly should be prosecuted for lying. She does not seem to have the temperament to be a good psychologist or professor. Her license should be revoked, on ethics grounds. 8. Oppression? The Senate bent over backwards for the accusers--including Ford. Kavanaughxs good name and his family were drug through the mud...for nothing. 9. The accusations were indeed a sham. Good call. There was nothing to investigate. Honestly, I expected the FBI to find SOMETHING--even if it was later disproven. I, myself, went through an FBI investigation, for a job, and again for sponsoring an immigrant. It was a terrible experience. If you were disheveled in public, they will find out. They were thorough and fair. Regardless of what happened with Kavanaugh yesterday, this will ward off many qualified potential nominees, merely because they don't want the headache, and, if anything ever does come out about Kavanaugh, those who voted yes would be the first to vote to impeach him. 10. There is zero evidence for Ford's claims. That is correct. Sure, something may have happened, and, had the democrats followed proper procedure and not tried to manipulate things, the truth may have come out. Ford was complicit. 11. Even the democrats didn't believe the accusers' stories. 12. The tactics used on Gorsuch didn't work, so new tactics were developed. 13. In Chuck the Schmuck's own words, "We'll do anything to derail this nomination." For once, he told the truth. 14. You are right about the damage this does to the metoo movement. Any time someone comes forward with false accusations, it makes true allegations that much harder to believe, and victims that much harder to believe. The democrats are to blame for that. 15. You are right that fewer metoo victims will come forward. They will not trust that their secret will be kept confidential; they will be afraid that their past will be kept for an opportune moment, at which time it will be used as a political ploy and smeared all over the news. The democrats are to blame for this. They did not follow prodecure. They used Ford. 16. Avenatti was very much to blame for the Kavanaugh confirmatiin. Had Avenatti not come up with the accuser with the totally BS story, Ford may have been more believable. Avenatti should be dis-barred. On the other hand, what do you expect from a **** star lawyer. 17. At every turn, the democratic politicians are against the common people. The democrats have how many accused members currently running for office, in office, and even former presidents. There was no concern then. The Clinton's closest friends were known sexual abusers, and the democrats shielded them. Based on evidence, anything democrats accuse others of, the democrats are already doing.
Yes and no. The purpose for the investigation was a sham. To call the investigation a sham when you were not even involved and have no idea what was asked or knowing what work was done,.. is ignorant on your part

You are wrong, her lies were easy to see. It is called the totality of circumstances. Among the list that was already given, you must understand that the other 2 women that "stepped forward" tell stories that she did not deny. So in affect, Ford was saying that Bret was a rape ring drugger. This story was WAY to outrageous to believe, witch because it was not refuted, became her story as well.

Because we all know that pervert lawyers are the most believable right?? Look, you don't want to know the truth or you would be demanding an investigation into Dianne Feinstein and the three accusers. To see IF the stories are even true, BUT that would no doubt have the same results as the 7 "negative results" investigations into Bret.

I have no problem calling her a criminal (just like calling a shoplifter a thief), just as the liberals call Bret horrible things. The difference is that I can prove that what she has done is criminal, the liberals can't do any such thing. AND if the FBI were to investigate her, she would no doubt wind up behind bars. And yes it was defeated.

Good God Tinkerbell.
If you're this distraught over the Justice Kavanaugh confirmation do we have to put you on suicide watch when the "Russia Collusion" investigation sham falls apart too?
What are you going to do if Ruthie Ginsburg takes her inevitable long dirt nap soon enough for President Trump to nominate and confirm *another* new Associate Justice?
It will be a hoot to see how you Marxists try to smear Judge Amy Coney Barrett now.
FFS son, "Baghdad Bob" would have been a more credible accuser than the perjuring "Garth" lookalike.
BTW, I hear that Diane Feinstein has a used 1966 2 door Ford for sale.

While all eyes and ears were so focused on the SCOTUS confirmation drama, there were several hearings by the House Committee that included some very revealing testimony that the Dems don't want to talk about right now, just weeks away from midterms, so yes it's all falling apart but the news has been overshadowed.
Also, you rush to call Fords accusations fake. That’s why she has corroborated witnesses that said she had been trying to deal with this for years right? And why her therapist had notes going back years? It was all a long con right? Everything is a Clinton Soros liberal conspiracy against conservatives right?
Yes she has lied, yes her story is fake, yes it was scripted by lawyers and active imaginations. Now about those "corroborated witnesses", if you will remember that the 7th FBI investigation into SCOTUS Bret Kavanagh was demanded by the Democrats and granted by Republicans including President Donald Trump, AND expanded by President Donald Trump and the FBI found NOTHING, NO CORROBORATING WITNESSES. And about the lie of trying to deal with this for years? Her ex-boyfriend says that is a lie too. BUT you don't need to take his word for it, just consider that she never turned over the Dr. "notes" to the Senate even after attempts/requests to get them. If she had such corroborating evidence she would have DEFINITELY used it. She would have been payed MILLIONS by the Soros and his conspirators to take down Bret. The facts speak for them selfs, she lied. In fact I believe she has been paid to do this, just check her income this tax year vrs last year, it will be up by millions. And, YES it was a long game, she planned to "Bork" Kavanagh during the 2012 election cycle when she knew he was on Mitt Romney's list of candidates. It would have work back then IF Romney had won the election.
Threedog is never prepared for an intelligent discussion. He perennially arrives unarmed at a battle of wits. He has demonstrated this many times. I fear for his students and their future victims.
Threedog will read a few headlines in Mother Jones or The Village Voice, then come out swinging like a cranky chihuahua, until someone presents him with facts. Then he slinks away until the next time he believes his privileged membership in some protected class has been threatened.
The fact is that Christine Ford was given a lot more respect and consideration under the Trump administration than Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey were given under Clinton’s watch.

She only needed to turn 2 people and the vote would have been a "NO". BUT, she had such deep emotional damage by Bret that she could not let anybody see the notes???? I DON'T BUY IT. She is CLEARLY lying. The proof is in her own words and actions.
