My Pro-life Mom on Kavanaugh.

Jade Dragon said:
My Mom Is big time Catholic, and goes to Church about every day. She even leads a Carmelite group at the monastery. She hates how Kavanaughs family was dragged through this, and is angry at the Democrats lawyers for not informing Ford about handling these things in California, without having to release her name. She voted for Trump mostly on pro-life issues, and really doesn't like Hillary. She is ashamed at how the Kavanaugh issue was handled, and yet she still has reservations he may be a poor choice for The Supreme Court. Republicans may lose a lot, if they don't reconsider putting a better candidate up instead. It's not just Democrats you'll be contending with.

Is it stressful having a mom like that? To the family situation, I mean.
My family were wedding and funeral Catholics, for the most part, and my mom never voted for a Republican in her life.
She was a union member like me. A great deal of my contempt for conservatives came directly from her.

One of my fondest memories is hearing my little daughter (who's now 41) call Bush Senior's Chief-of-Staff John Sununo "pigface" when he was on Crossfire.
It seems that she picked that up from my precious mom. If she had picked it up from me, she'd have called him "motherfucker."

It would have been catastrophic for me if my mom had been conservative on any significant issue.
I have no tolerance for that.
I have no social relationship with any conservative.
It's hard to imagine that it would have been any different with my mother.

Thankfully, I had a great relationship with my mom and my dad.

well i see a lot of lefties are saying he didn't show temperament etc.
And I'm sure political bent does color one's perspective - but the attack on Judge K was so over the top egregious..

The entire world witnessed Bart's outbursts revealing his political bent and how that colors his perspective.

Pretty common opinion. I just read Jonah Goldberg expressing it on NR. Incidentally, I grew-up five minutes from a Carmelite monastery, and we regularly attended mass there in the mid-90s, when my dad wasn't loving the situation at the parish church.

Mrs. Ford has already said that she was informed of the option given her by the Republicans that they would send agents to talk to her.

She said, she didn't want agents talking to her in California! She said it was her choice to come to Washington and speak to the Senators face to face!

So, can you please update your MOM? Oh, and be sure to tell her that you love her while you have her on the phone! Very important!

Take all the Ford/sexual allegations business out of the equation altogether, Bart still repeatedly and demonstrably lied through the course of the hearings and the entire world witnessed it. The US Supreme Kangaroo Court has been exposed for that it is. The theater is for the masses to busy themselves with, this was going to get done with democratic #theassistance.

the "political bent" was him criticizing Brian Fallon's "Demand Justice "

Former Clinton Aide Brian Fallon Has New Job, Documents Reveal
https://freebeacon.com/politics/former-clinton-aide-brian-fallon-new-job/

Fallon was featured on a panel, "Preserving the Role of Our Courts," which presented the new organization to the donor network, according to a portion of the conference agenda obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"This panel will highlight a new organization and new approaches to fight back and protect our courts and against the Trump Administration and their congressional allies' extremist takeover," the agenda says, "ensuring that those serving on a federal bench remain true to their constitutional purpose of preserving the rights and freedoms of all Americans."

Fallon's role at the new firm was disclosed in his biography for the conference, where it was announced he would be the executive director of the new group.

"Beginning in spring 2018, Fallon will serve as executive director of a new, nonprofit organization to oppose President Trump's makeover of the federal judiciary," his biography says. (Demand Justice)

what "reservations" does she have? He's an outstanding judge

Of course he is outstanding!

He is a drunk and a political hack!

And just as there were no evidence to support Mrs. Fords claims, neither is there enough evidence to clear him of the allegations made of him.

It comes down to a power play by a panel of All-White all Old-Fart Male Republican misogynists on a mission to play god and over-play their hand.

Your mom has a brain; you, not so much. But because you've never been right once in your miserable pathetic loser life, your prediction comforts me.

The backlash will be the exact opposite. As Americans watch the reasoned and unbiased logic of Susan Collins contrasted with the shrill anger of the protestors trying to intimidate those they hate, the choice becomes much easier.

Keep posting!

Perhaps you'll eventually write something intelligent!

Plenty has been written about the lies, linking them for you here would help you see what you are committed to denying? Doubtful. Power structures that have to resort to force, imprisonment and violence to proceed with corruption in society are nothing new, very old world actually, we brought the "old" world to the "new" world with us. If america is ever to become a truly democratic representational society deserving of it's own lofty rhetoric, many more people are going to have to be willing to do more than vote and post hissyfits online. Otherwise the "two" parties can just play the people off of each other and laugh at them.

THE UNBEARABLE DISHONESTY OF BRETT KAVANAUGH
https://theintercept.com/2018/09/29/the-unbearable-dishonesty-of-brett-kavanaugh/

In Plain Terms, Judge Brett Kavanaugh Lies About Everything
He lied about his days as a Republican operative, about the drinking age in Maryland, about the "Devil's Triangle." All of it.

We live in a civil society where a presumption of innocence is supposed to reign supreme, and evidence beyond a reasonable doubt proves guilt. This case hasn't even presented a shred of evidence. Couple that with the multiple lies told by Ford, and the partisan hack legal team, and it stretches credulity beyond the breaking point. If that makes me an "asshole" in your feeble mind, then I wear the title as a badge of honor.

Great...because if anyone deserves the honor of being called an asshole by me...

...you do.

Way to go, Trumpers.

Kavanaugh is going to harm Roe v. Wade the first time a case involving abortion comes before the court.

The idea was never to repeal it...but to pretend to honoring Stare Decisis...while at the same time gutting it to the point where it is almost meaningless except in the bluest states.

He is a disaster for women...and any woman voting for a Republican ought to hang her head in shame.

I'm going to look past your comment, just because I know you are a Trump Loving Asshole!

You people voted for the worlds greatest liar! We get it!

Lying is the gift you people keep giving yourselves!

But just like your parents and Sunday School teachers have always taught you- you'll eventually get caught up in your lies and the truth will always shine through!

Every dog has their day- so have fun while you can!

Your fun is just about to come to an abrupt end in about 4 weeks!

The truth will shine again! And it'll hit people just like you so hard, you'll think you've been slapped silly! [

I didn't like how he was treated through this process, but he didn't come across well in the hearings.

He lacked maturity at times, and his temperament was not good. And man, is that guy partisan - not what anyone wants to see in a SCOTUS justice, though it will probably become more the norm, like everything else.

And you're a fucking liar; because if he had remained "reserved", you would have accused him of being unemotional; which would then have been used to say he was obviously guilty.

WHATEVER :laugh:
