Re: SCOTUS
Remember...Kavanagh is an ultra-devout Christian. As such, he may have thought he was SPEAKING IN TONGUES.Perhaps when Kavanagh gets angry, the on/off switch in his amygdala sends some confusing language prompts to his tongue.
Re: SCOTUS
KAVANAUGH’S TELL: “REVENGE ON BEHALF OF THE CLINTONS,” PLURAL
"For a guy who is unashamed about using stolen emails, the notion that he considers this revenge for Hillary is troubling enough. If this is revenge, it is revenge for Hillary being wronged during the 2016 election, and a big part of that wrong was using stolen emails. And Kavanaugh is no more embarrassed about using stolen emails than the guy who appointed him.
Kavanaugh suggests, in the same breath, that Hillary was wronged, but that denying him a seat on the Supreme Court, even for behavior that resembles that wrong, would be an outrage, even if his nomination was due entirely to the fact that she was wronged.
Brett Kavanaugh is not going to quit, no matter if his entire nomination is illegitimate because Hillary was wronged.
Perhaps more plausibly, Kavanaugh’s use of the plural, “Clintons,” suggests he thinks this is revenge for his own actions 20 years ago, his own demand that a man and his family be publicly humiliated.
But, again, if this is revenge, it suggests what happened to Clinton — the insistence that Bill confess under oath to Kavanaugh about cumming into Monica’s mouth — was itself wrong.
And once again, Brett Kavanaugh, the guy whose career was launched by demanding to hear the sordid details of sex under oath, does not care. Kavanaugh does not care that (as David Brock laid out early in this process) he himself “set a perjury trap for Clinton, laying the foundation for a crazed national political crisis and an unjust impeachment over a consensual affair.” He may recognize this as revenge and in so doing acknowledge that it is akin to the coordinated campaign he wrongly assumes is amassed against him, but he does not care that Democrats are (he imagines) adopting his own playbook."

Re: SCOTUS
David Brock's story deserves its own post
"When, as I came to know, Kavanaugh took on the role of designated leaker to the press of sensitive information from Starr's operation, we all laughed that Larry had taught him well. (Of course, that sort of political opportunism by a prosecutor is at best unethical, if not illegal.)
Another compatriot was George Conway (now Kellyanne's husband), who led a secretive group of right-wing lawyers — we called them "the elves" — who worked behind the scenes directing the litigation team of Paula Jones, who had sued Clinton for sexual harassment. I knew then that information was flowing quietly from the Jones team via Conway to Starr's office — and also that Conway's go-to man was none other than Brett Kavanaugh.
That critical flow of inside information allowed Starr, in effect, to set a perjury trap for Clinton, laying the foundation for a crazed national political crisis and an unjust impeachment over a consensual affair.
But the cabal's godfather was Ted Olson, the then-future solicitor general for George W. Bush and now a sainted figure of the GOP establishment (and of some liberals for his role in legalizing same-sex marriage). Olson had a largely hidden role as a consigliere to the "Arkansas Project" — a multi-million dollar dirt-digging operation on the Clintons, funded by the eccentric right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife and run through The American Spectator magazine, where I worked at the time.
Both Ted and Brett had what one could only be called an unhealthy obsession with the Clintons — especially Hillary. While Ted was pushing through the Arkansas Project conspiracy theories claiming that Clinton White House lawyer and Hillary friend Vincent Foster was murdered (he committed suicide), Brett was costing taxpayers millions by pedaling the same garbage at Starr's office.
That's right, this scumbag is a long-groomed mole that has arrived at the point his handlers have long dreamed of.

Political hitjobs. For those that pretend to understand issues, have a look at this six year old article. It would appear Kav has been on the Supremes list for quite a while
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012 ... ding-court
The high-stakes health-care case is a useful reminder of the even higher stakes in the Presidential election. If a Republican, any Republican, wins in November, his most likely first nominee to the Supreme Court will be Brett Kavanaugh. ♦
2012, write about the time Ford "remembers" the assault. Also, like I wrote before, I, and surely plenty of other people here, know people that know blaey's Monkey county/tar heel reputation. Is she not available to be asked if SHE eve blacked out?

Is Ford still in the DC area? Has she filed a complaint yet?

If he is confirmed and later after a believable investigation is found to be a blackout drunk, or another believable assault victim is judged credible there will be hell to pay. This issue will not go away with his confirmation. If he is not confirmed, the issue is a mice nuts issue for the country at large. Whether he is confirmed or not, serious private and perhaps public investigations will continue. The State of Maryland can choose at anytime in the future to investigate. Future Presidents, Senates and Houses can choose to investigate. We do not need a Supreme who has this potential in his future. The republicans have any number of qualified candidates with likely backgrounds that don't include these kind of questions.
The republicans have barely enough time to move another candidate through this year. The candidate would have to be squeaky clean. Senators would just have to work through their vacation time at the end of the year. There are currently 90+ days left. In another 20 days or so, the window does probably close.

Free rein has been granted to the FBI by the oft rained upon homo sapien who currently reigns supreme our drained swamp of a Nation.
FREE REIN: Synonyms-freedom, a free hand, leeway, latitude, flexibility, liberty, independence, free play, license, room to maneuver, carte blanche, a blank check.
Why then are there only 4 folks........?

That the words have meanings with friends, family, kids, etc. I forget what a frat brother called burning his bodily produced methane and lighting it on fire with a lighter. Could do it on request. Would 'boofing" be the term?
A drunk that went to Yale, that was NOT a legacy rich kid like Bush. Think about it. You guys are off the rails on this topic. It's ok for tough guy cops to drink hard, then be trusted with aimed weapons and driving around hungover? Umm....ok. A judge just reads.

Do I have this right?
I've noticed you still haven't commented on Kav clearly lying his ass off to Congress. Instead, you're going after Ford. So you believe Kav's response to what a Ralph Club is, but you don't believe Dr. Ford, who clearly put her life on the line to come forward?
Did Kav come across as a judge to you? Or an angry petulant child who was too stupid to let the R Senators act show the anger, letting him play good cop to their bad cop.
This is Princeton's best? Pass. Find another Justice. It ain't that hard.
