StevieB: I wish that Justices Sotomeyer and Ginsburg - and any other who feel this way - would REFUSE to sit in chambers or have their 'beginning of the session' photograph taken with Kavanaugh. THAT would certainly send a message.

McConnell is truly ashamed of his own kids that's true. Somehow, someway they turned out far better than he most certainly has and they are honest people unlike him. He did have daughters and doesn't care about them or their rights and if they make the same claims as Dr. Ford they are lying.

Lefty, if Ford had accused Kavanaugh of attempted murder---rather than attempted rape---her opposition would not be able to access the whole rape-accusation toolkit; "She knew there'd be drinking; what did she expect?", "Why would anyone go to a party with booze if they weren't looking to get laid?", "She must have invited it (by her dress, or having partaken of the booze, or being favored in the genetic lottery wrt appearance, or wearing make-up, endlessly-etc.), and "How can we destroy his life over one instance of questionably-consensual sex".

This is the reality. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never been at the sharp end.

Lefty (mod)
Well, StevieB, it COULD be that McConnell is ashamed of his own children but most people are real proud of them. However, if Mitch's parenting is to be judged by his political skills then his kids are probably living in dumpsters and giving hand-jobs for crack.

StevieB
Lefty, I don't understand the section above that ends in McConnell has three children. Other than he's assaulted some unfortunate woman. Care to elucidate?

My wife wondered if the other Supremes could vote him off the island for being a blatant blot.

Lefty (mod)
Steve, "no contest" is, for all intents and purposes, the same as pleading guilty.

Also, let's say Ms. Ford accused Kavanaugh of murder. Should we simply say "Let's let it go" now that he's Judge? Hell, no! By not taking Kavanaugh to court she's essentially saying her accusations were worthless. And I, for one, still believe her.

Steve
Dr Ford wants her life back. Filling charges would add years to her misery with very little chance of prosecution. I'm appalled he's on the bench, but I think she has given enough and it's time to say thank you, go in peace and God bless.

Also, Agnew pled no contest.

FYI. I'm an Oregonian. My mail in ballot will arrive around the end of October and be back at the County Election office a couple days later. And nobody here has any excuse.

If we can get enough Dems in January we can impeach Mr. Smug, Incompetent, Lying, entitled, arrogant, assaulting, I like beer A**Hole from the Supreme Court.

Same for the Orange man-baby that has obviously committed tax fraud cuz Daddy didn't like taxes that masquerades in the residency at 1600 Pennsylvania AKA White House acting like a president.

From what I hear Bob Mueller may have some evidence GOP Good ol' boy Mitch, the whiny Bitch, may have colluded with the Russians. Taken their money anyway and hopefully he'll go away as well...in chrome bracelets on National TV.

@David
"If we can get enough Dems in January..." Consider it a flu shot against further Reb assaults on the body politic. It won't cure everything, but it will slow the onslaught and just maybe undo some of the worst symptoms.
IF! Two letter that in that particular order are a nightmare to consider.

Classic Raging Crappola

What Mitch meant.
