So just how would not getting this job he wants so badly destroy his career? Is he going to be fired from his current job? That's BS.But because he gets pissed off that yes, one party is trying to destroy his life and career, he needs to be reserved and calm? Please.

You don't think that carrying the stain of being an accused rapist would not significantly affect his life, mental health, etc? Great, he gets to keep his circuit court position. Wonderful. what about the lifetime of harassment his wife and children have probably just been sentenced to? It's a bit surprising to me the number of people in here that are zeroing in on "Well, he didn't get the job. Oh well!". Half of the world, roughly, now believes beyond the shadow of a doubt he is a rapist and a monster. You don't think that would ruin your life?So just how would not getting this job he wants so badly destroy his career? Is he going to be fired from his current job?

But maybe he is? It's all hypothetical at this point. It's easy to say, yeah his life will be upended, but the truth of it is, we don't know what happened and most likely never will. It's a **** mess.You don't think that carrying the stain of being an accused rapist would not significantly affect his life, mental health, etc? Great, he gets to keep his circuit court position.

Kavanaugh would be by far the most partisan SC justice confirmed.

The conversations I had yesterday with the women in my life are in such contrast to many on this board. I honestly feel like I should be pointing out destructive things some of you have said towards this, but it's too much for me to handle.
I might be willing to discuss via PM if any of you want.

Why was he reserved and calm up to this point? Yes, I’d be pissed too, but I’d try to remain calm, and I sure as hell wouldn’t bring a story about my kids into it.I can tell you right now, if I had daughters on the edge of their teenage years, and I was in front of the world defending myself from being called a serial rapist, I sure as hell would be irate. I actually thought he measured himself well given the boiling internal rage he must have been feeling. The comments about his "disposition" IMO are absurd. His disposition has ALWAYS been viewed as sterling by his colleagues, and his career has been spotless. But because he gets pissed off that yes, one party is trying to destroy his life and career, he needs to be reserved and calm? Please.

That was in his opening statement, written to please his god emperor.Oh please....the Court has been turning partisan for years.Kavanaugh would be by far the most partisan SC justice confirmed.

If he was all calm and Collective people would be saying that he was obviously some unemotional robot that didn't really understand the gravity of what's going on yada yada yada.
It's a no-win situation.
To be frank it's just ignorant to say he would be the most political judge ever on the court that just kind of shows that people don't know anything about the Supreme Court prior to about 8 minutes ago. William Howard Taft was President of the United States before he was put on the court.

Being emotional was not the issue, for me. Being so Trumpy was. That, and mimicking the talking points from the last month of the right.

I’ve discussed this with many men and woman too, and they have varying opinions. What does this mean? That people get offended or take things differently all the time.The conversations I had yesterday with the women in my life are in such contrast to many on this board.

If I thought anyone here was actually interested in hearing an argument I might actually spend time this morning laying it out.
But many here have convinced themselves that the Republicans are getting ready to put Sean Hannity on the Supreme Court, when a man's actual court record and the testimony of his real life actual colleagues, from both Progressive and conservative jurists and clerks spell out a much different story.
Many of us are old enough to remember the Alito hearings where the exact same concern was placed.
Kagan for example was a great choice for the Supreme Court because it's evident that she is a fair and honest justice.

So the hope is we get Mark judge and let him be interrogated by the FBI with the desire that he changes the story and implicates the obvious sexual assault man Kavanaugh?
Because I don't believe for one second that anyone is going to honor the findings of the FBI investigation if it doesn't come back the way they want it.

I just assumed if it was laughable to call Kav the most partisan SC justice if nominated, there’d be a readily available list in hand of those that are worse. If not, that’s fine.
Politics And Current Events
Wonderful. what about the lifetime of harassment his wife and children have probably just been sentenced to?
How about Dr Ford, who not only still has to deal with the trauma caused by the sexual assault, but also now threats and harassment from those on the right who think she's a political actor?

Weren’t you guys first to accuse him of being the most partisan? Shouldn’t you provide proof instead of telling people show you when you have no basis for your opinions presented in your argument?I just assumed if it was laughable to call Kav the most partisan SC justice if nominated, there’d be a readily available list in hand of those that are worse. If not, that’s fine.

Woke up, the only thing that bugs me now is his potential lies or gaffes about boofing and devil's triangle. Either way, that still does nothing and he'll be an SC. Let's get back to the Mueller stuff.

The interview Chris Cuomo had with Lynn Brookes (former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh) was very telling. I guess some former NBA player named Chris Dudley came out in support of BK and supported his version of the events. She specifically recounted an incident where a drunk Dudley and Kavanaugh egged each other on to barge in on a couple that had gone into a room.
There's plenty out there to highlight the possibility that BK engaged in sexually charged behavior like that, but that in him mind it was just party antics. It's highly plausible that BK has no recollection of that incident specifically with Ford. There certainly exists a gray area here for drunken antics that while inappropriate and immature, are not disqualifying, but there is certainly a line, that had BK crossed it, like how Ford described, his elevation to the SCOTUS is troubling. A true account of BK's hard partying life is only an issue here because of the allegation, and I do believe his unwillingness to be forthcoming about the extent of his antics makes his denial discreditable.
