DAMN!

“Well, there wasn't a crime committed. These are two teenagers and it's obvious that she said no and he respected it and walked away...

He just flat out says that's not true. Regardless if it was true, these are two teenagers and she said no and he respected that so I don't know what the issue is.”

Ginsberg believes Roe v Wade ... took the decision to have an abortion away from women and gave it to doctors.

Yeah, all those doctors forcing women to have abortions against their will!

Dragging them in, off the street!

You are one seriously confused puppy!
How can you argue anything about Roe v Wade since you obviously never researched the case?

Things that are obvious to you frequently have no connection to reality.

For example, your exposition of Ginsberg's opinions, for which you have no supporting material (though no doubt you can find a place with some of her opinions, and then, being you, claim that it says whatever you want it to, even though it doesn't.

Red, you and I have been down this road before. Your grasp on what really happens is tenuous at the best of times. Your ability to admit when you are mistaken is nearly non-existant. And it isn't getting better as you get older. You've become, if anything, more rigid and dogmatic over time.
LOL. That’s your rebuttal?
...
Pathetic.

You said nothing to rebut, Red. Yes, it was pathetic.

You tossed up a claim about something somebody said. It's impossible to prove a person didn't say something without a date or space for the alleged comment - you provided nothing.

No news there.

You also don't understand where information comes from, which is why you used to go on about sites you wouldn't trust, when they were standard news sources or government research organizations.

Or, as you call them, "obscure."

Pathetic is too generous for you.

Back to ignore you go, where you belong, you hapless wanna be intellectual!

Power Walking

Quote
As a child I was taught to ignore aggressive dogs, to keep walking. Once you’re out of its territory, the dog will leave you alone, so goes the conventional wisdom, and mostly it works. The same is supposed to be true of men, except it isn’t. They walk alongside you, they kerb-crawl you. If you tell them to leave you alone they will call you a bitch and ask you who the fuck you think you are. Every encounter, however seemingly benign, contains the possibility of violence.

Dr. Ford and her team are handling this expertly... each day the GOP doesn’t vote on Kavanaugh is a bad day.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/20/politics/christine-blasey-ford-brett-kavanaugh-testimony/index.html


Testifying Monday, however, "is not possible and the Committee's insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event," Ford's lawyers wrote.

"As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home," the email said. "She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety."

It is clear you know absolutely nothing about the facts of Roe V Wade.
Nor do you know anything about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’ s writings or speeches about Roe v Wade

Surprised Josh didn't put this one up.


All along, York’s teachings grew stranger and stranger. He adopted the name “Chief Black Thunderbird Eagle” and announced he was the leader of a lost Native American tribe that fought early European colonization. He then declared that he was an extraterrestrial from the planet Rizq.

A pseudo religious cult led by a charismatic psychotic...

"We're sexual misconduct law experts"
Whoo, boy.
Where to start with such nonsense?
How about the Constitution?

Based on your strong recommendation, Red, I read the article Josh posted. It makes a good case for tossing out the whole GOP arm of the Senate for pure blockheaded incompetence which is their strong suit.

I found the following passage especially on point,

Quote
The committee has every resource imaginable to design a meaningful investigative process that furthers Congress’s stated intent to prevent sexual misconduct. They have simply made a calculated decision not to do so and, instead, insist on an investigative process that cannot reasonably uncover the truth.
