Good God, is RBG even still fit to sit on SCOTUS? She was barely coherent in "feersum dreadnaught's" clip.

This nonsense has run the gamut.

In High School, seriously? Could give two shits what happened decades ago in High School. If it wasn’t important enough then it is not important enough now.

"but the one consistent theme was that it describes an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school."

That should be girl, not woman, unless Kavanaugh was the victim.

This sounds like an incredibly desperate Hail Mary/October Surprise move by the DemoShits which will backfire on them.

They’re doing with Kavanaugh what they tried to do with Thomas and what they did to Bork.

And they’re reminding us why their Garland grandstanding was bullshit.

Vote now, shove Kavanaugh down their throat, give zero shits.

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has blasted the charged Senate confirmation process for Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh as a 'highly partisan show.'

The liberal Ginsburg denounced the process, which many court observers have blasted as broken, during an event at George Washington Wednesday – on a day when Democrats who were virtually shut out of the confirmation process bombarded the nominee with 1,200 questions on issues ranging from gambling to his days as a clerk in a fruitless effort to slow down Kavanaugh's nomination.

'The way it was, was right. The way it is, is wrong,' Ginsburg said at the GW Law School, the Washington Times reported, drawing applause from a crowd.



'It was the same for Justice [Stephen] Breyer who was nominated a year later. Or think of Justice Scalia, who was certainly a known character … He had been a law professor and written many things. He had been on the D.C. Circuit [Court of Appeals].'

'The vote was unanimous. Every Democrat and every Republican voted for him. But that’s the way it should be. Instead of what it’s become, a highly-partisan show,' she concluded…”

Well--RBG is correct--the current way IS wrong, and it IS a "partisan show". However, the partisanship is being displayed by the Democrats, who are energized to simply block any candidate that President Trump nominates. She should remember that she was confirmed by 93 to 3, which included Senators of both parties, even though her leanings were known to be decidedly Liberal.

She does remember. She states in the article:

“'The vote on my confirmation was 96 to 3 – even though I had spent about 10 years of my life litigating cases under the auspices of the ACLU … and I was on the ACLU board and one of their general counsel,' she said, referencing the American Civil Liberties Union.”

So an anonymous person has offered some anonymous info, which has been sent to the FBI, though no one will discuss what was in the Feinstein letter created from the anonymous person or info, and the media calls it one of the biggest breaking news story of the day. Is there really any question why the media has zero credibility and why majorities of Americans loathe them?

Republicans have been every bit as partisan lately. Remember Merrick Garland. Don't act as if it only goes one way.

Yes, but that was in reliance on the bipartisan Biden Rule.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

What is on the early October SCOTUS docket? This smacks of something the Dems want a lower court ruling upheld with a 4 to 4 vote.

Be that as it may (and I know Biden said it), it is still an example of the extreme partisanship going on.

Biden was wrong when he said it, and the R's were wrong to do it. Even though I am a little glad they did.

Presidents get to make appointments, and the Senate should pass on their basic competence and fitness, not whether they agree with their politics.

I’ve heard that they’re expecting one or more redistributing/gerrymandering cases to come up. The Dems are claiming the Republicans have done it improperly in NC and PA (I think those are the correct states) so they hope to have the maps redrawn to let them pick up another seat or two in each state. If the appeals court agrees with the original rulings and the SC is still tied up at 4-4, the lower court ruling will stand.

Edit: NC case confirmed but one source said the SC has passed on it and sent it back down. Other cases included Wisconsin, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, but several of these appear to have been resolved earlier this year.
