I didn't find the Yale letter particularly compelling; pretty par for the course that there would be literally a thousand Yale Law grads incensed that there's a threat to Roe and that concern would trump any notion of pride that a fellow Yale Law grad is nominated. Kavanaugh is not a down the middle jurist, way too much known about his views to think he's not well to the right on the spectrum. And he's been quite political, which does invite a political response. But 'well coordinated smear' doesn't fit as it's not a smear. Just pushback.tech37 wrote:No holmes...this is I was referring to as a "well coordinated smear"...not simply the Dem's timing.CU88 wrote:https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... ending-her
The letter, which says it’s from more than 200 alumnae from classes 1967 through 2018,

Almost 1,000 signatures from YLS

63 women who signed letter have now gone silent on their support.
IMO, this is a no win for anyone involved.

All this anonymous crap, from op-eds to "black list" million dollar donor/bundlers, some from overseas, has to be raked out. Ford, deservedly so, will now be where she should have been two weeks ago. An Issue. Sen. Feinstein should be ashamed that she never asked any questions about it.
The Judicial committee barely asked about the MOST important issue, Citizens United, etc.
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wish lists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills.
ALEC type groups have been around since the birth of our Nation. How else could the Adams family, along with Gov. Bowdoin and friends, pass legislation that made the promissory bond payment 100% of the notes value? They had 90% ownership of these bonds, purchased for pennies on the face value. Who did they buy them from? The non-line militia that sacrificed not only their lives, but livelyhoods , in order to put the elites in power without any menace from the King.Typical Lax Dad wrote:Resolution in Support of the Citizens United Decision Exposedrunrussellrun wrote:One of the great things about this country is the right to face your accusers.

A lot of people get rich from a lot of things. Not sure we have seen a systematic nationwide bill making machine like ALEC.... but again, there has always been a ruling class.runrussellrun wrote:ALEC type groups have been around since the birth of our Nation.

Why wouldn't you talk to all the other people who were there?
Preposterous that you wouldn't examine/cross-examine Mr. Judge under penalties of perjury. Since he reportedly is an eye witness/participant in the freaking room at the relevant time?
Mitch McConnell already flat out STOLE one SCOTUS seat, why does anyone think he won't have the BALLZ to obstruct this current process, to seal his "legacy"??ggait wrote:Fine to have Ford and Kavanaugh cross-examined.
