Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Ooooh! Interesting idea.

I hope it could happen.

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens says Kavanaugh should not serve on Supreme Court. “I feel his performance in the hearings ultimately changed my mind,” Stevens said. Stevens, a lifelong Republican who stepped down from the high court in 2010, said that Kavanaugh’s temperament during the hearing was not suited for the position.

Stevens had praised Kavanaugh and one of his rulings in his 2014 book, “Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.” He said at the time that he thought Kavanaugh “had the qualifications for the Supreme Court should he be selected.”

“I’ve changed my views for reasons that have no relationship to his intellectual ability,” Stevens said on Thursday, referring to Kavanaugh’s temperament.

Stevens, 98, who was appointed by President Gerald Ford, said he believed that lawmakers should take into account the criticism of Kavanaugh’s testimony.

“I think there’s merit to that criticism,” Stevens said, “and I think the senators should really pay attention to that.”

My argument with how the narrative has shifted from "He's Guilty!" to "He's not fit to be a judge" is this:

No judge on the Supreme Court has ever been defending his or herself in front of a world-wide audience against alleged crimes that are of a caliber one step below murder itself.

I'm betting that most Americans couldn't name two Supreme Court Justices, let alone all of them. But everybody knows Kavanaugh's name now.

This man is going to be judged for the rest of his life. He knows that, yet he still wants the job. I think that says a lot about his character, or at least puts into question anybody's personal opinions about his "job interview" performance.


Stick with his previous stances on issues as a reason that he shouldn't be sworn in. This is just background noise.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Yup. Pretty much.

I think you're starting to see what just happened here, Second.

There is about a 0% chance that Kavanaugh won't be sworn in now. We're going to put a man in that was a supporter of probably every single item in the Patriot Act and seems to have no problem invading the privacy of every American Citizen.

But the message was diluted to the point where nobody focused on that.

And half the country is going to cheer when he is sworn in. And the Republicans are likely going to keep the house and the senate after the mid-terms.



And for a day or two I'm going to have fun rubbing it in RF's face, and there are going to be jokes at T's expense about his "tick tock"... but then there will be the sobering realization that the Patriot Act just got stronger and we've got another two years of a Trump administration with a GOP majority in the other two branches.


I hope the Democrats learn their lesson this time.

The Kremlin’s For Kavanaugh: Russian State Media Back Trump's Supreme Court Nominee
Putin’s media minions echo Trump to defend his Supreme Court nominee from the evils of #MeToo. Or maybe he echoes them. Some minds think alike.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-kremlins-for-kavanaugh-russian-state
-media-backs-trumps-supreme-court-nominee?source=articles&via=rss


"The Kremlin’s support of Donald Trump’s objectives, devoid of traditional U.S. values, has spilled out into the issues typically outside of Russia’s purview, such as Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.

Trump’s disregard for human rights and values is balm to the Kremlin’s sanction-wounded heart, which is why the Russians were quick to jump on the Kavanaugh wagon.

Russian state media is supporting Trump’s Kavanaugh nomination both in its domestic publications, as well as those aimed at the English-speaking audiences.

Hamilton 68, an organization which tries to track Russian influence operations on Twitter, also recorded extensive activity pertaining to the Kavanaugh nomination."

Who's surprised? Is anyone surprised? Siggy? Comrades?

Human Rights Watch Opposes Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court
https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/10/05/human-rights-watch-opposes-nominat
ion-brett-kavanaugh-us-supreme-court


This is the first time Human Rights Watch has opposed the appointment of a US Supreme Court justice. We have taken this unprecedented step for the following reasons. Credible concerns, based in part on the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee, have been raised about whether Judge Kavanaugh committed at least one sexual assault in 1982, and allegations continue to circulate that he may have committed other sexual misconduct.[2]

Rather than engage meaningfully with Senators’ questions on those matters, Judge Kavanaugh sought to dismiss the concerns out of hand, which signaled a lack of understanding of the importance of a fair airing of the alleged harm suffered and of respect for the human dignity of alleged victims. Judge Kavanaugh demonstrated little understanding that inquiries into whether a US Supreme Court nominee engaged in sexual assault is a matter to which senators and witnesses must give their serious attention—both for the future of the court and for the message the process sends about the basic rights of millions of survivors of sexual assault and to future victims.

So, what I wonder is ... when will the Dems stop playing games?

They didn't have the votes to defeat Kavanaugh. They probably never WOULD get the votes to defeat Kavanaugh, no matter WHAT they did.

But when you can't get results, you can always take a stand.

So what did the Dems "stand for"? A last-minute smear campaign? Guilty until proven innocent? More "identity politics"?

They COULD have pounded on issues they thought were important ... privacy. Roe v Wade. Individuals over corporations.

When people looked back on the proceedings they might have remembered ... Hey, the Dems stood up for me. They might have failed but at least I can count on them next time.

Instead, I think a lot of people are just left with a bad taste in their mouths, having been (once again) pitted against each other, women against men, when we could all be standing up for fairness.

****

If the Dems REALLY stand for the fourth Amendment, why don't they vote against the "Patriot Act" and its various extensions? If the Dems REALLY stand for persons over corporations, why don't they propose a change in law? If the Dems REALLY stand for fairness, why don't they stop dividing up the nation with identity politics? Why do they keep pushing their paranoid pro-war agenda?

IMHO it's because they really DON'T stand for these things.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


For the record, I oppose Kavanaugh because he would represent his politics, which I disagree with, rather than the law.

That said, I find myself having to find fault with the democrats for this whole fiasco.

The 'democratic' (ie big money, back-room) party has been retrenching since 1995 when they lost the House of Representatives. And instead of trying to figure out what they were doing wrong - and fixing it - they continued on with 'business' as usual. Now they are without a single majority claim to government.

And they are STILL playing politics. Somebody should tell them that that stopped working 23 years ago, because they have yet to clue in.

As a retrospective on the 2016 election ... for a brief moment, Bill at least mouthed a good game: "it's the economy, stupid". That would have been a good theme for Hillary as well. But instead of going with what worked, the party went with 'identity politics'. Why? Did they really believe that people were happy with the lack of full-time jobs with decent pay? Did they think they were going to pull the wool over everyone's eyes with a Gish-gallop of multitudes of victim-hood?

I agree with Signy. You can tell what democrats stand for by noticing what they fail to do. And people have been noticing.

That the 'democratic' party is where it is - that's on them.

How the US conducts surveillance and investigation of electronic communication media–particularly the internet–is largely shaped by three pieces of legislation:
Quote:

To give a very brief history, FISA was enacted in 1978–before the proliferation of the internet–and governed both the physical and electronic surveillance of primarily foreign powers and agents.

The Patriot Act, enacted shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, was essentially an amendment to FISA that expanded surveillance to individuals not directly linked to terrorist groups.

Many of the most controversial parts of the Patriot Act, particularly those dealing with bulk surveillance, expired in 2015 but were renewed in part or whole through the Freedom Act.

How did you get a paycheck out of this?

When I interviewed with Putin I was told that any money his team of Communist Nazis tasked with infiltrating the RWED would be making will be taxed at 100% to the Russian Government because Communism.

We know Putin hates women. So does Blumpy.

Putin’s War on Women
https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/09/putins-war-on-women/

"At least 12,000 women in Russia die at the hands of their abusers each year, according to Human Rights Watch. The real number is likely higher."

"Theirs could be an uphill battle, for Putin’s bare-chested machismo, while a source of humor abroad, has been accompanied by a sharp rise in misogyny at home. The Russian leader joked about rape as recently as February, has boasted that his country’s prostitutes are the best in the world, and has put down women for menstruating."

Blumpy does the same thing.

Blumpy does exactly what Pootie tells him to. He has for decades.

Brett Kavanaugh Lied Brazenly and Repeatedly Under Oath. Any Law Student Knows He Cannot Sit on the Supreme Court
It feels self-evident, but a judge who cannot obey the law cannot be expected to apply it.
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/10/04/brett-kavanaugh-lied-bra
zenly-and-repeatedly-under-oath-any-law-student-knows-he


Socrates is widely attributed with the saying: “Four things belong to a judge: to hear courteously; to answer wisely; to consider soberly; and to decide impartially.” By this Socratic standard, Judge Brett Kavanaugh failed on all four points during his testimony last week. His remarks were completely antithetical to the values we demand from our jurists.

Exactly what happened in Bethesda, Maryland three decades ago can never be precisely known given the passage of time. What happened in Washington, D.C. mere days ago, however, was easy for reasonable persons to determine: Kavanaugh lied. Repeatedly. Under oath. Indeed, Judge Kavanaugh would never accept the rampant misrepresentations of truth that Witness Kavanaugh offered in front of U.S. senators.

Even if one takes the position that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s highly credible allegations of sexual misconduct shouldn’t derail Kavanaugh’s nomination, his response to them should. Why? Because, as many have detailed carefully and thoughtfully, he lied, misled, displayed extraordinary partisan animus straying at times toward unhinged conspiracy theorizing.

The sheer scope of Kavanaugh’s dishonesty under oath has been detailed in numerous articles, perhaps none as exquisitely comprehensive as Nathan J. Robinson’s essay in Current Affairs. Honesty is important in any job, of course, but for the particular job Kavanaugh seeks, truth is utterly paramount and non-negotiable.

In saner times, the Canons of the Model Code of Judicial Conduct read like quaint truisms. For example, Canon 2A of the Model Code speaks in the mandatory language of “shall,” and requires that judges “shall respect and comply with the law” and “shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the judiciary.”

Has our political tribalism really become so acute as to render foundational maxims such as the Canons controversial? If so, then truly the loss will be felt by both Democrats and Republicans equally.

Kavanaugh is certainly in an incredibly difficult circumstance, both personally and professionally. Yet every single day in American courtrooms, individuals with far fewer resources, far less expertise and arguably far more at stake than a mere promotion are held to the highest standards of candor, truth, tone and veracity. Why? Because without truth, the system falls apart.

I'm not convinced this poll is legitimate, nor were the questions worded in a way that weren't leading.

Sure, it says that 48% of Evangelical White Christians "Should Be Confirmed" if "If the charge of sexual assault during a party in high school by
Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh is true, do you
think Brett Kavanaugh"...

But 32% of Latinos would support him, 31% men and 27% women overall would support him as well... at least according to this survey of 800-900 people that we're expected to believe reflects the beliefs of 320+ Million people. (That's a survey of 0.0000028125% of the people, for anybody not good at math).




At the very least, the article shows the bias of the reporting from Vox. And yes, it was Vox that reported this, so I'm not sure why you linked to an article on a different site that ripped the article off of Vox.

As for Gutfield himself, at least in the article, there was no quotes of his that said he would give sexual assault a pass. The article is based purely off the 100% assumption that Kavanaugh assaulted Ford, and anything he said would be viewed as supporting a predator.

You're gross comments on the issue itself are more of why the voice of the Extreme Left is going to disappear soon.

It seems you just can't help yourself, can you?

And BTW, I've laid plenty of blame on Republicans, as you could see from my old posts. So this is an outright lie.

Here's as piece of advice for everyone, including me.

Our discussions would be FAR more productive if we would stop arguing with the voices in our heads. It seems like people (like GSTRING, SHIT, and THUGR) spend FAR too much time imputing motives and points of view to others .... motives and points of view which those others don't have.

Why not just stick to responding to WHAT POSTED, instead of ranting at something that might not even exist? If we could manage to do that, as well as NOT RESORTING TO PERSONAL ATTACKS WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING RELEVANT TO POST, I'm sure our discussions will be a lot more rational. Unless people here have an interest in being IRRATIONAL, that seems like a better avenue. Right?

FWIW ** I ** squarely blame the democrats.

They've been sliding off the cliff since 1995, and congratulating themselves whenever their fingernails held a bit of dirt the whole time. The 2016 election was their last chance at political relevance - a chance to say 'well AT LEAST we still have the presidency'. That's why you're so butt hurt. You didn't even get the booby prize.

On the plus side, without the burdens of actual governance, this would be a good time for democrats to take stock and figure out why they've been voted into irrelevance over the last 23 years.

The Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia voting to approve Kavanaugh is interesting to me. 538 has him at over an 88% chance of winning his election, so I can see that vote being in hopes to get re-elected like I thought some Democratic Senators would do last minute.

I can't see on 538 what that percentage was yesterday or last week before this vote took place, but I can't imagine with that wide of a margin that he was plotting.



Senator Donnelly in my state just lost my vote because of this. I have said in the past here that I had every intention of voting for him in the mid-terms.

Back when I said I was voting for him, he seemed to have a comfortable lead. He's now listed on RCP and 538 as a toss up, although with an advantage. This may not have been a smart move on his part.

Supposedly the flurry of last-minute allegations was orchestrated by Feinstein. People are saying that she's toast if this info comes out. I've disliked her ever since I got back a smarmy, patronizing form letter from her on why we should invade Iraq; basically she said I'm on the Senate Intelligence Committee and I know things that you don't.

HA! As it turned out, she knew shit; she ate up phony intelligence like it was caviar because it appealed to her sense of superiority.

OTOH, her rival for the Senate seat is Kevin DeLeon, another Democrat and a huge supporter of illegal immigrants.

What a choice!

Basically, it went along party lines, which itself is an interesting result. I think republicans are going to find it costs them overall, because it confirms their party as a machine, rather than a representative body.
If the results had been the same tally, but scattered across party lines, it would have indicated a more dynamic body.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Maybe it was worded a little confusingly?

When I said that Joe Manchin's vote was interesting to me it's because he was the lone Democrat who went against party lines.

When I said that I was no longer voting for Donnelley when I said I was going to a few months back it is because he is a Democrat and he voted along party lines.

I will not vote for anybody who is in support of making judgements without Due Process, or possibly even worse, somebody who would throw out their principals on that stance in order to vote along party lines.

If I was in West Virginia, Joe Machin would have my vote right now.

Despite all the possible Republican wildcards - Snow, Flake, Murkowski, Collins - who indicated reservations - only Murkowski who was opposed - voted 'present'.

Yeah, much like Dr. Ford. She had to move from her home and hire bodyguards
(in the hearings I saw the bodyguards and they were huge, like professional
wrestler huge).

So when I hear folk talking about how the Dems behave, it really rankles me to no end. When I saw her, Dr. Ford, I was anxious to hear what she had to say.
I found her testimony riveting and that this poor woman was quite pained to
expose a tragic and violent occurrence in her life.

I worked with battered women and it is oftentimes painfully sad how it affects their lives. They live in constant fear.

When I watched Kavanaugh, ugh, a big difference in comportment and attitude.
I know I'm going to repeat myself, but it bares repeating - what a scumbag.
He consistently lied, evaded and otherwise insulted the committee members
during his testimony. A political tool if ever I saw one. Nothing in his statement, or lies for that matter, spoke of or depicted his stature as judge.
He was smug, arrogant and entitled. A real douche-bag.

It doesn't surprise me that Murkowski received threats. This is typical of
how the Trump/McConnell scumbags operate. They try their damndest to intimidate. Fear is their only response. Fear and ridicule.
