Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to Retire

[LogGrad98]

The original statement BP made was that Feinstein's actions dragged this country through the mud. That's what Fish responded to, and your response read to me as a rebuttal of that. Sorry if I misread you.

Fair enough. But that is why I only quoted one of the quotes, to point out that the aspect of the entire country having a black eye from the whole affair is not that hyperbolic. Note that in the post I made about the whole fear of flying thing I quoted the 2 posts that tied together around that topic. Again, it is just about ascribing intent and jumping to conclusions.

Entire nation? That seems a bit hyperbolic

He found a scape goat that wouldn't attack someone viewed as a victim, used her as that, and then made a statement that pits everyone against that person. He's also famous for painting himself as a magnet so he can pretend to be a victim.

It's probably best you find a way to get him to ignore you and vice/versa.

For sure, I agree that this whole sordid affair is a bad look for us.

I was responding to the article you posted. I didn't say anything about you specifically. Chill out man.

Well look at your other replies, and not just to me, where you try to drag anyone into the argument so you can prove them wrong, instead of just considering and replying to the actual content. Hence, you only have one tool, and that hammer makes everything look like a nail.

By the way, starting your comment on the article with a "but" feels very much like you are directing it at the person who posted it. If I read that wrong I apologize.

Excerpt

News of Ludington's involvement was first reported by The Washington Post, which said he planned to give a statement to the FBI at its field office in Raleigh, North Carolina, "detailing violent drunken behavior by Kavanaugh in college."

In a copy of his statement given to The Post, Ludington, a professor at North Carolina State University, described Kavanaugh as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk.

"On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail," the statement said.

During his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week, Kavanaugh was repeatedly asked about his drinking habits in high school and college and denied having a problem.

The first comment was directed at you, like I said the original comment that started this line of conversation was specifically about Feinstein causing this whole mess. I already apologized for misreading you.

The second response literally only quoted the article link.

I think everyone here needs to calm down and stop taking everything so personally.

I could easily see the current version of Kavanaugh doing the exact same thing. The way he was responding, I imagine if he had had some of those questions in a bar context he would have done exactly that. I think Matt Damon on SNL captured him perfectly.

Why? 50 years ago this guy would have been confirmed 98-2.

25 years ago he still probably would have been confirmed (see Clarence Thomas)

The bottom line is our elected leaders (most likely) prevented an unqualified person from an appointed, life-time position.

Hell, for once they're doing what we pay them for.

I think it's a bad look that he still has the political backing of the GOP and even now seems more likely than not to be confirmed.

This is is a good thing. Also it's wild that this wasn't the case from the start and needed to be revised.

Its a bad look, but only to those who are looking.
Many people dont know about this whole thing and many people who do know about it dont care.

But how many days has there been already though? As the investigation is restricted to 1 week let's hope it's not too late.
