The sad thing is that an incompetent, hysterical louse who does not have the confidence of the American Bar Association No evidence at all that he's incompetent, or hysterical. The ABA gave their full endorsement, before these allegations. That endorsement remains valid - it's merely the President of the ABA, a very active Democratic Party activist, who has expressed any reservations. No one judge has "the casting vote". There are nine of them. The nomination, as is constitutionally laid down. Most of the sitting judges were nominated by Clinton and Obama. His wife is not an illegal immigrant. How lucky we all are that you have such a firm and judicially piercing grasp on the facts. Thankyou, Comrade. No need for parody here. |

Aqua and fascinating are as bad as the screaming, weeping women who interrupted yesterdays Senate vote. Get a grip both of you. Just remember, you CAN be wrong some of the time! And, just occasionally, take note of the company you are keeping, please, and feel just a tad embarrassed. Yes, I shall stop seeing mrsonde. Arse-bandit. |

Bad Faith or mauvaise foi are usually associated with duplicity, treachery, and self-deception, usually for a malign purpose. Not really. Sall I explain where the phrase comes from, and what it means? Higher than yours. You've ditched the founding principle of Western Justice along your way, in pursuit of your anti-Trump prejudice (imagine if it had been the other way around - a white Republican woman claiming Obama, or a prominent Obama appointee, had raped her. Sometime, somewhere.) Nothing silly. Defend your partisanship, as the Marchesa has always shown herself ready and willing to do. Unlike you or Fing. |

I do apologise if my use of hyphens has offended. |

Well, here are the facts, shocking though they may be, to those who think women are angels. Women lie. They lie for all sorts of reasons, but that's not the point here. Objective evidence shows that 40% of rape accusations are fabricated. Made up. Invented. I'm a bit surprised this went unchallenged. Jean must be on a warbling holiday, and Fing developed a justified phobia for statistics. The men - hmmm, that sounds plausible. |

At least one retired republican Supreme Court judge agrees with my summary of the evidence edition.cnn.com/2018/10/04/politics/supreme-court-justice-john-paul-stevens-kavanaugh/index.htmlbut then who are we to judge? I found it a little surprising that the ABA downgraded Kavanaugh's standing on the basis of allegations rather than proof. Perhaps they know more than I do. And isn't it a tiny bit worrying that the FBI report has only been seen by the Senate committee members under "eyes only" conditions? If it exonerated him, surely it should have been published? Not that I consider the historic "attempted rape" allegations in any way material. Fact is that this man is dedicated to centralising judicial power and criminalising abortion, just for starters. How odd that the Democrats could only come up with this pathetic sideshow as an objection. |

Alan - please. Could you please quote the so-called "evidence" that you wish people to review that you claim is in in support of your opinion? You might have the politesse to appreciate that we're all at least as busy or otherwise engaged from your concerns in our own as you are? It's not asking much, is it? Less effort on your part than you're demanding we make. |

Like almost everyone else, the only time I have seen Kavanaugh live was during the Senate committee hearing. His acting was pathetic when he held the stage, and his response to questions was bordering on the hysterical. I'm concerned about the way his elder daughter looks at him - something nasty going on there, I suspect. But I admit to having little evidence. It's just interesting that someone who knew and occasionally admired him over many years, changed his mind on seeing him at the hearing.
Never mind, we now have at least 20 years to see his character in action.

I found it a little surprising that the ABA downgraded Kavanaugh's standing on the basis of allegations rather than proof. I watched the testimony live from France - I don't know if it was broadcast here. The chairman of the committee made it clear in his summary that the letter was not from the ABA - it was an entirely personal statement from its President. No "downgrading" occurred - no one else was consulted. Not that it's relevant, as far as I can judge. It's one highly partisan person's opinion. So, yes, about the same weight as yours. No. Exonerated?! You can prove what you were doing sometime in 1981? You can prove you didn't eat your neighbour's hamster on that date? Where were you then, sometime somewhere in 1981? Do you have any witnesses that you did not in fact eat that hamster? Then don't pretend it is. What is this? You don't approve of Stalin's show-trials, but nevertheless you think the accused are guilty? Nope. Not true. I hate to imagine what else you're dreaming up from that false starting point. |

Never mind, we now have at least 20 years to see his character in action. I saw the same tesimony. It seemed okay to me. I don't know how I or anyone else might have reacted to such disgusting charges, and such apparently excessive warrantry to them, without even a shred of evidence. I watched her testimony too. I was not in the least impressed, almost like everyone else I've heard express an opinion. My response is somewhat aligned to Trump's. You were gang-raped? But you don't recall when this occurred. Or where the party happened. It was a trauma, but you made no semblance of a note at the time? It's just sort of shaded into the background mush of memories? Nope. Makes no sense to me, judging by the way my memory works - and I'm someone who was high on LSD for most of those years, and bounced around seven or eight countries. I can still locate a party, roughly, more or less to the week, and quite definitively to the place. |

You left a few mistakes - or a few new words - even in your corrected version.
When you say Makes no sense to me, judging by the way my memory works, surely that reflects solipsism on your part. Or just party-fever?
You say of Ford:
You were gang-raped? But you don't recall when this occurred.
She didn't say that. And you know it.

Or just party-fever? Nope. I assume, on good grounds, that people's memory works in roughly the same way. I've had my own share of traumas - going back to the 60s, in fact. She did. I watched it. |

And Trump is your Svengali. Huh? You know - you anti-Trumpers, it's some sort of Jungian shadow-monster you're summoning up, I think. A counter reflection of all you've been taught of what a good person should be. I can't imagine what else can be generating this level of hysteria, from someone who's basically a middle-of-the-road socialist. |

Nothing unique about that. She did. I watched it. [/quote] I watched it too, but, like you, not the act itself, as it didn't happen. She said she had a one-piece swimming-suit on and managed to get away from him when his friend jumped on the bed and dislodged them. |
