Pants are always expressed as a plural, which makes me wonder if they can ever be singular.  Could you walk around with one leg encased in cloth and call it a "pant" ?  Hope I don't come across as a pant loon for asking.

She had time.

I dont think Democrats wanted it out there that he no longer drinks to excess.  It had been researched - and they decided not to touch it.

So no - attempts to paint the current Kavanaugh as a drunk arent at all valid.

Kid, no one really cares if Judege Case-a-night drinks a beer today or not, it was more he tried to lie about his past

Follow the thread.  My response was to Kavanaugh being called a drunk.

Kid will reflexively support any rapist in the public sphere. Cosby even got him to support a black person for once though he doesn’t like to talk about that any more.

Given that republicans can only drum up sympathy for those with whom they share significant personal traits and history, it does make you wonder.

Fac

It should be noted that kid's concern about Judge Case-a-night's drinking habits was in response to this post where I opined

I'm pretty sure Republican senators would have approved a drunk lying sexual predator misogynist for the Supreme Court as a matter of professional courtesy, without the ABA weighing in.

So i guess kid is good with a lying sexual predator misogynist on the Supreme Court as long as he's within the "legal" limit  or a Republican.

Fuck. Numbers are numbers. Inevitable loss but with a month til midterms you can believe this won’t hurt the Dems.
Sure, and Joe McCarthy is an American hero.

And his lawyer was later Trump's lawyer!   (as well as lawyer to two of the Five Families of NY)
Wanna try that one again?

Only 21% of America’s women voters are reliably republican and still support trump. Combine that with less than half the men voters who are still similarly broken and it’s clear that American Gilliad is steadily shrinking under the weight of its asinine beliefs and monsterous behavior.

It is no longer possible to be republican and conservative at the same time.

You dont think Kavanaugh is a sexual predator

And likley you dont think he is a misogynist.

The lying thing was all anyone had - so that was the approach they took - make him look like a LIAR and hope that disqualifies him by vote

And of course it didnt work.  The guy's record is too strong.

In the poll, I was apparently right.

The FBI did find evidence that Kavanaugh lied to the Committee, but he was voted in , anyway.

fixed

That you think that actually fixed the part that was problematic in what I wrote does a good job of underscoring the real problem.

Thank you.

I have zero objections to your edit.

The ABA’s rating of Kavanaugh was the highest it could give.

How much weight does the American Boofing Association carry in the vetting process?

I'm pretty sure Republican senators would have approved a drunk lying sexual predator misogynist for the Supreme Court as a matter of professional courtesy, without the ABA weighing in.

How do we know how much Kavanaugh NOW drinks?  None of your senators asked him.

Or how much cocaine he does.

But it wouldn't have mattered, Kiid.

He would have lied and the GOP would have ignored any evidence to the contrary.

I am certain that he was a sexual predator.

And equally certain that he is a misogynist.

But the second of those is not a barrier to a seat on the Court. And the former is too easily dismissed.

But the liar part is both criminal and blatant.

But the GOP embraced it and covered for him. Repeatedly.
