Again. I always believe the women unless it is proved without a shadow of a doubt otherwise. Imagine how difficult it is to come forward, we must always give them the benefit of the doubt.
How we doing with this? I still think this is the way to go, innit?
It is, but expediency may require people to still vote for the lesser evil alleged rapist...
There, this is the honest answer. These are our choices, we just need to say it out loud more often.

I'm all for benching anyone with a credible, substantiated accusation, and booting them after a reasonably fair hearing of both sides. That said, I think we should handle these as they come along, so far we've handled Newt (sort of).... and Al Franken... seems there are a few that should have come in between, and a whole lot after.

I understand and agree with you. However, now is just not the time........lol We have already had Trump nominate (2) Justices. Personally, I would rather take my chances on a snoozing RBG hearing my case rather than a drunken, sexual predator like Kavanaugh.
I just don't know how we can have the countries highest judicial court of 9 allow any SCJ get to a point of physically and mentally failure, but yet let them continue serving as our interpreters of the law. Justice Ginsburg has now fallen and broken 3 ribs. Most of the time she has been seen sleeping during crucial presentations and has been nudged to wake her up. Or partaking in some wine before many SOTU is just bad judgement for a judge. It isn't mandatory to be there, it's just a formality and courtesy.
I'm sorry that she has had another setback but there needs to be a point when we must say retirement is mandatory for anybody in positions to effect the many. This is not a position for a part time cognitive leader to continue this way. I'm not saying that her mind has gone. I've seen her talk in interviews and it's still sharp for short periods of time, but trying to hold a position of balance in the SC is not in the country's best interest. Yes it sucks getting old and how we all slow down at some point. I've seen it happen to my mom and in myself. It's part of the circle of life, but I don't pass judgements that affect the multitudes and I never would want that roll.
I don't think you want me with my finger in the button when i'm at 86 either. Fortnite! damn I thought I was playing a game. Opps I'm sorry
This is just one persons opinion FWIW; no rebuttal needed. Thank you and good night America.

The always insightful and informative Linda Greenhouse writes of an old Supreme Court fight over the appointment of a highly controversial man. In 1937 FDR nominated Hugo Black, an Alabama Senator and strong supporter of the New Deal, for the Court despite Black's "limited judicial experience...and an education viewed as marginal for a Supreme Court justice."
During confirmation hearings, the Senate Judiciary subcommittee dealt with rumors that Black as a young lawyer in Alabama had been a member of the KKK. Greenhouse notes that SC nominees did not appear before the subcommittee during those times. Black's supporters denied the rumors and the subcommittee "rammed the nomination through to the full committee after two hours of consideration." Apparently one Senator went into a tirade in defense of Black and nearly got into a fistfight with another Senator—of his own party. (Lindsey Graham was tame by comparison).
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nomination of Hugo Black and the Senate confirmed him by 63-16. But then, right before the start of the new Court term, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran a series of articles proving that Black hadindeed been a member of the KKK.
But Black was not removed from the Court and served for 34 years. Even more amazing: "During those 34 years, Hugo Black became one of the great civil libertarians in Supreme Court history."
Can't the two of them see what's going on here? They obviously love each other.
I do miss the old Kurtster. Didn't always agree with him, but he was interesting and fun. Something happened ~ when Obama was re-elected. I think that broke a lot of people that were simply opposition in term 1. I bet we'll see a lot of the same if/when Trump gets a second term.
Blast from the past! I hope HC is well. Glad to see she got off of this forum, it was not good for her. She was prone to hyperbole, but you could tell she is a good person and wants to be kind.
I think getting out of Chicago has helped her immensely.

From what I understand, she's doing well. The wife and her are friends on FB. Yes, she is a kind person as far as I can tell.
This has been going on for years. I'm really tired of it. But he insists on making things personal.
He's my personal stalker here, has been ever since HC left.
