Let’s ask Al Franken and Justin Fairfax.
UC doesn’t care he just wants to burn it down. Pcgeek’s will just go on about his feelz.@UglyCasanova and @pcgeek11 given the plethora of allegations of serial misconduct supported by many of his peers during this time in his life, have you ever considered that the allegations are in most part true? What then?
Teabag a woman??
I am pointing out the politically opportunistic and disingenuous nature of this entire discussion.You want to ask two unrelated people the question that I directed at certain posters here?
Come on dude, try harder. Aspire to have an opinion as a unique individual. Because based on your almost content-free post, I'm inclined to think that you're attempting to lazily do a quick #bothsides hit-and-run.

I have no doubt that Kavanaugh was your typical ivy league frat boy. I also know his behaviors were at the time of Porky’s and Animal House and Motley Crue, where both men and women willingly engaged in behaviors that we would condemn now. I came of age in that era, and lets just say there were a lot of parties, a lot of sex and a lot of negligence by adults in checking those behaviors.
Fairfax is suing the media for giving his victim a voice. No one seems concerned about that. But then again, such accusations should play out in a courtroom, not social media.
RGB praised Kavanaugh for appointing an all female staff, which does more to move the needle in the right direction then debating what he may or may not have done in 1985.
What you guys are effectively doing is giving a character on the SUPREME COURT immunity from anything done in his past... cause it must all be shit hurled at a wall or, hey, Motley Crue.
Thats fucking stupid.
Congrats.Accusations have been thrown for 35+ year old actions. Some are alleged crimes, others are college students being stupid drunk. The sort of alleged misbehavior one would expect from frat boys but falls short of being a crime. Today's "new information" is the weakest yet. It is lesser than anything before it, and changes nothing. It is a smear campaign to attack a Republican Judge sitting on the SCOTUS because a single person can change an entire branch of government. Very powerful interests involved here.
In short, it's pathetic. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel makes his opponents look weak. Convict him in a court of law, or find a truly provable and damning allegation, then we'll talk about alleged immunity from said crimes. Until then Republicans have their party bro and nothing is going to change that. Flailing wildly at him is only partisan and does not serve us.

When the Repbilcans release the 100k pages of documents covering Kavanough's time in the White House, we'll talk about something other than silly ol' sexual assault allegations. Then we can talk about Kavanaugh's role in providing legal cover for Bush's use of torture and other war crimes.Accusations have been thrown for 35+ year old actions.

Public opinion and hearsay aren't Justice as you seem to think. Gossip and accusations aren't a conviction. The country you're dreaming of would be the seventh circle of hell for the five years it survived.So long as Kavanaugh sits there on the Supreme Court we can all rest assured that that court is a sham court beholden to a sham Repub led Senate that rammed his appointment through the vetting/selection process in order to pack the court with conservative activist judges owned and operated by every unelected entity that constitutes and represents those special interest groups that think they should be running the gov't rather than the people of the nation.
Shame on those who approve of this travesty of justice.
Why are these things mutually exclusive? It possible to laud his current actions while calling into criticism his former ones. Why do entitled white Ivy League douchebags like him get to wipe the slate clean so easily? This is not a luxury afforded to a lot of people without his background.
Please correct your quote. That is not my post.

Congrats.
How many triple murders does a person have to be CONVICTED of before said person is considered "maybe not a good candidate" for the SC?
Asking for a friend.
Maybe the bar to the Supreme Court should be higher than "Hey, he wasn't convicted of felony sex crimes."

The problem with that is the "bar" has two positions. Accused or convicted. I'll go ahead and throw in "credibly accused" for the sake of argument, but it needs to be absolutely defined before it can be used to derail a single appointment.Maybe the bar to the Supreme Court should be higher than "Hey, he wasn't convicted of felony sex crimes."
And this is why ie. Trump is getting away with shit noone else would EVER be getting away with, cause he is changing YOUR standards for which YOU judge him. And thats on you.1: Convicted? That'd be a nice change of pace from a single "he said / she said".
2: You're in a fuss over THIS topic? The "new" info is bottom of the barrel pathetic. During the confirmation hearing LAST YEAR it was alleged that drunk frat bro Kavanaugh likely exposed himself and touched someone's face with his penis. But no, today the allegation is... someone's ... HAND! OH MY, today's "news" is such scandal! I do believe this is cause for a case of the vapors.
