I don't know why he is either? I commented that the "victim" got the best job of any judge in the country, a lifetime goal of millions, and that the asshattery of the democrats and trump is a disaster and he thinks it is a comment on white male privilege because... probably because his brain doesn't work real well, but other than that, I have no idea.

You now shitty dems have nothing to do with Trump's tactics, but you are such a partisan that you must have tit for tat. Don't worry about it. He goes through stretches of role-playing. All that's missing is the gimp suit ... at least I hope that is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarkiness aside, Trump is being a wrong asshole, and so were the democrats when they were attacking Kavanaugh. There's no single victim. Agreed. Those who think Trump nominated two great Justices should consider this. I don't think either was a great choice simply because I believe them to be too conservative but I can easily understand many folks here disagreeing with me on that. However, one thing those folks may be overlooking is that Trump selected each from a list given him by the ultraconservative Freedom Foundation or whatever that tea party group is now called. In this horrible era of political polarization that is going to encourage the next Democrat president to solicit a list of potential Supreme Court nominees from some far-left group. As a political moderate that stuff makes me very concerned for the political future of this country. 1 Quote Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using potential sexual assault claims in politics is disgusting, and I hope the Democrats lose voters because of it. At the same time, it is disgusting to see accusers mocked and vilified, and it does set a bad tone. Frankly, I don't know what is true, and I am not on the "believe women any and every time" train, but it is extremely poor form. But even then, my comment was strictly on how "difficult" it was for him to now become a part of the most powerful judicial entities in the world. People have to deal with more adversity for a lot less cushy job. If you asked me if I would stand up and shed a couple tears and defend my honor for a dream job like that, I would do it in a heartbeat. Especially if I were innocent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the heat of an argument, shit flies around. I was a little nasty just last week to one of my favorite posters on this board. As long as it's in good humor and/or some modicum of respect, I always feel it's not a big deal. One thing to remember is none of us are a congressman, senator, the president, or a SC justice. We're just normal people living our lives, and we all come from a different place with different experiences. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, there is also little difference between a small $1million loan, and a $400 million+ inheritance. What matters is the main idea that he is really smart...details like he is #1 or #76 aren't important. Kavanaugh and Trump exemplify the white privilege that they are so scared to lose. The road to success is paved so nicely for some, right? Yes, those wealthy whiteys need to be taken down no matter what!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that is all supreme court justices are supposed to do. The supreme court is supposed to determine the constitutionality of legislation and administrative actions. Calling balls and strikes is a very appropriate comparison. The lefts perversion of the court since FDR. Trying to use them as all three branches of government is something you have bought into I see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To repeat, calling balls and strikes is simply enforcing the rules, it is not in any way determining their propriety. As to your second paragraph, it has no relevance to the balls and strikes issue whatsoever. Quote Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
