Kavanaugh Sobers Up

[iceberg]

like i've always said - the left will go by their emotions, never the facts. you FEEL he was under the influence of something yet no one has said a thing about it HOWEVER YOU FEELZ IT so it must be true.

Ironic: Snowflakes - called 'snowflakes' - a term adopted by DEMOCRATS to define other DEMOCRATS who are 'easily offended' - are ruled ... and easily manipulated ... DRIVEN by emotion (especially HATE and INTOLERANCE); yet, here THEY are claiming Kavanaugh was 'too emotional' in his own defense as Democrats sough to intentionally falsely destroy him, his life's work, his future, his family, and his marriage.

Ironic: Democrats rail and spew violent propaganda, Hillary Clinton's campaign hired an organization to send thugs to beat and bloody Trump supporters at Trump rallies, Maxine Waters ramps up the violent rhetoric by calling for the stalking and harassment of GOP politicians, an IDS-suffering snowflakes then attempts the assassination of GOP politicians while they practice softball; yet, snowflakes claim KAVANAUGH was 'too emotional' in the defense of himself and his family from the proven attempt by Democrats to 'Herman Cain' him.

just funny as fuck oldlady FEELZ kavanaugh was under the influence during the hearings but no one else in the free world has commented about that. the wall street journal is showing that fords lawyers told the witness what to say and she has no comment on that but is focusing on her FEELZ.

no wonder she gets pissed at me so often. i don't give a fuck how she feelz when that's what she uses to condem people w/o actual proof. i FEELZ that is wrong to do. now what?

 

[edward37]

I wonder if any of the buttstain libs have asked him anything about his judicial decisions?

Don't give a flying crap for his decisions Just his acting like a dry drunk when speaking ,,,and his obvious partisanship....One more Repub POS to join Thomas ,,,Good work fing up America for the next 40 years

So rather than look to his judicial history to determine fitness and see how he might rule as a jurist, it is more important to concentrate on inconsequential horseshit.

you're talking to eddie.

inconsequential horseshit is all he has. that and a lot of blind rage.

Horseshit is what Trump your god is full of Doesn't seem to bother you Just walk on by

we're talking kavanaugh and ford. when people bring in obama and so forth into a convo you and the left goes apeshit in that not being the topic.

yet, here we are.

now - if we address the people "on topic" then how come you don't seem to care fords lawyers told a witness what to say and how to say it? why does that not bother you?

nevermind. i honestly don't give a fuck what your diaper wearing ass is bothered by today.

Listen closely you ass ,,Kavanaugh was coached for days before his meeting the senators Why haven't you said anything about that ? Cat got your computer?

 

[iceberg]

Kavanaugh is a partisan ideologue; his lies with regard to the motives of Democratic senators who appropriately oppose his nomination are proof of that.

nothing wrong with opposing his nomination.

everything wrong in how they went about it.

 

[depotoo]

They know they would lose over the issues they have a problem with, thus they attack the character of the man with a false dichotomy.

He doesn't need to apologize for anything.

Unless he were to, say, be nominated for a high court position where political paranoia conspiracy theories and obvious bias would be obvious detriments.

But what are the chances of that happening. If that were going to be the case he would have had to write a disclaimer like the one quoted in the OP.

Oh wait........

what are the chances of the left going at him for the issues themselves? would appear to be ZERO and they engage in attacking the person, not the issues. shit is so jr high old it's pathetic.

how do you know i have not?

ford was also coached on how to take a lie detector test - show me your outrage there.
ford lied when asked if she was coached or EVER COACHED someone else - show me your outrage here.
fords lawyers told their witnesses how to answer the questions. again, where is your rage?

if you can show me point blank who coached him and when, i'll get mad with you. will you get mad at the above steps or find them valid cause you hate the other side so much?

i'll go ahead and take door #2. but please, surprise me.

I guess it's as close as we'll get to an "I'm sorry" for all the disrespectful, flippant responses to questions and angry shouting at last week's hearing. Just remember, he's really impartial.

Yes, I was emotional last Thursday. I hope everyone can understand I was there as a son, husband and dad.
By
Brett M. Kavanaugh
Oct. 4, 2018 7:30 p.m. ET

I was deeply honored to stand at the White House July 9 with my wife, Ashley, and my daughters, Margaret and Liza, to accept President Trump’s nomination to succeed my former boss and mentor, Justice Anthony Kennedy, on the Supreme Court. My mom, Martha—one of the first women to serve as a Maryland prosecutor and trial judge, and my inspiration to become a lawyer—sat in the audience with my dad, Ed.

That night, I told the American people who I am and what I believe. I talked about my 28-year career as a lawyer, almost all of which has been in public service. I talked about my 12 years as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the second most important court in the country, and my five years of service in the White House for President George W. Bush. I talked about my long record of advancing and promoting women, including as a judge—a majority of my 48 law clerks have been women—and as a longtime coach of girls’ basketball teams.


As I explained that night, a good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no political party, litigant or policy. As Justice Kennedy has stated, judges do not make decisions to reach a preferred result. Judges make decisions because the law and the Constitution compel the result. Over the past 12 years, I have ruled sometimes for the prosecution and sometimes for criminal defendants, sometimes for workers and sometimes for businesses, sometimes for environmentalists and sometimes for coal miners. In each case, I have followed the law. I do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge.
As Justice Kennedy showed us, a judge must be independent, not swayed by public pressure. Our independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. The Supreme Court is the last line of defense for the separation of powers, and for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.

The Supreme Court must never be viewed as a partisan institution. The justices do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. They do not caucus in separate rooms. As I have said repeatedly, if confirmed to the court, I would be part of a team of nine, committed to deciding cases according to the Constitution and laws of the United States. I would always strive to be a team player.

During the confirmation process, I met with 65 senators and explained my approach to the law. I participated in more than 30 hours of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I submitted written answers to nearly 1,300 additional questions. I was grateful for the opportunity.

After all those meetings and after my initial hearing concluded, I was subjected to wrongful and sometimes vicious allegations. My time in high school and college, more than 30 years ago, has been ridiculously distorted. My wife and daughters have faced vile and violent threats.

Against that backdrop, I testified before the Judiciary Committee last Thursday to defend my family, my good name and my lifetime of public service. My hearing testimony was forceful and passionate. That is because I forcefully and passionately denied the allegation against me. At times, my testimony—both in my opening statement and in response to questions—reflected my overwhelming frustration at being wrongly accused, without corroboration, of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character. My statement and answers also reflected my deep distress at the unfairness of how this allegation has been handled.

I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters.

Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career: hardworking, even-keeled, open-minded, independent and dedicated to the Constitution and the public good. As a judge, I have always treated colleagues and litigants with the utmost respect. I have been known for my courtesy on and off the bench. I have not changed. I will continue to be the same kind of judge I have been for the last 12 years. And I will continue to contribute to our country as a coach, volunteer, and teacher. Every day I will try to be the best husband, dad, and friend I can be. I will remain optimistic, on the sunrise side of the mountain. I will continue to see the day that is coming, not the day that is gone.

I revere the Constitution. I believe that an independent and impartial judiciary is essential to our constitutional republic. If confirmed by the Senate to serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep an open mind in every case and always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American rule of law.

in debating issues like abortion and so forth, there is no win / lose. present your case and it comes back to yes, how people feel about it. but you attack issues not people. if you attack people then yes, i agree. you got nothing left to hit the issues with so you gotta revert to being a child.

and doing shit like claiming people are drunk during hearings in front of the entire world yet you're the only one to notice.

total bitch move.

Screw that, he owes no apology to anybody.

Actually he issued at least one apology I recall DURING the hearing. So even he knows better.

To Klobuchar. I highly doubt if that was his own idea, though, Pogo. It came directly after a break. Someone from the PC police told him he couldn't be such a smart ass to a woman. My cynical opinion.

Old Lady must have imbibed too much of the cooking sherry when she wrote this title. I hear she’s an alcoholic.

have you seen the anger in her posts? she must be drunk. there's no other explanation. i mean, that's how she's coming to her own conclusions, so they apply to her also.

she needs to change her name from OldLady to drunklady.

I remember a now banned member who was slightly less articulate and who was usually into her 4th glass of wine by now and posted some of the funniest stuff. Damn if I can remember the name.

i also find it funny OldLady decided yesterday to NOT hold the drinking part against him cause it was long ago and so on. yet today, for the purposes of a sensationalized headline, here we go again.

Old Lady is nothing if not inconsistent.

When spinning the wheel of fate, always remember to raise your seat back tray tables into their upright positions, light up a non-filtered Camel or Lucky, and get the swift heck out of the way of the monolithic civilization eating, anti-truth gear teeth before pressing the red button labelled 'never not ever not ever do not push me'.

Right or wrong, reviewing the person i.e. the character IS part of the duty of the Senate prior to a Supreme Court nomination. At least that's what all those background checks were about, right?

 

[Tilly]

Kavanaugh and his family are owed massive apologies for the scurrilous way they were treated.

It is about time that the Senate or the Judiciary Committee came up with a protocol for handling this type of issue. It came up with Clarence Thomas, they didn't know how to handle it and it became a blown-wide-open circus. Now it has happened again and thanks to social media and the current political climate, it was worse than a circus. As much as the American public likes to hear ALL the sordid details, I think until an investigation is FINISHED we don't need to know anything except that an investigation is taking place. Doubtful the media would agree to that, but I wish they would.

However, Dr. Ford sure deserves some apologies too, while we're at it. I do not believe she was a Democratic "plant" brought forward to kill his nomination, and I won't believe it until she openly confesses to it. She began talking about this in 2012, when Obama was just getting ready to start his second term, and it is documented in her therapy notes. She passed a polygraph. She is telling what she believes happened. The Dems may have snatched her story as a golden opportunity, but she is innocent of "lying." IMO.

You have continued to contribute to the circus you allege to abhor by implying Kav is an alcoholic - just as you’ve done here in your title, drunkard Old Lady.
