OT with regard to Kav hearing, but my wife just told me that Woodward called Trump a “dangerous ragiholic”. Few years back an academic friend of mine told me of a hated university president in our Southwest. At a faculty dinner one night, this hated president got drunk, stood up and urinated on the table. So, we’ve got hope for Trump
In the work world these acts are called “critical incidents”. I once had an alcoholic boss challenge me to a fist fight. His boss didn’t care. These things happen more often than we know with unstable persons in mgmt. positions. In politics we usually hear of sexual misconduct or embezzlement.
With luck, our Grifter in Chief will have a critical incident and be removed from the White House in a wheel chair and under heavy sedation.
.
Declaring war on the Duchy of Grand Fenwick is my guess on where he loses it.
We must teach Nambia a lesson for disrespecting us by not existing.
Jeebus… just ask him about 17yr old Jane Doe the immigrant kid who couldn’t even go to a doctor’s appointment because Gov’r agents prevented her from going because she might get an abortion. And when the case came to him he tried every way he could to delay it past the 20 week cut off Texas has imposed. Rachael Maddow has the tape of his words spoken during the case. It’s damning and it is epic. Rachael devoted nearly an hour to it two days ago I believe it was.
Dancing around?
More like Kavanaugh is flat out lying and will continue to lie.
That’s what Republicans are paid/bribed to do.
He is a liar just as Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, and of course Thomas.
The most corrupt and “purchased” Supreme Court.
Here’s a tid bit just for entertainment.
Has Susan Collins shrugged yet? 
Maybe I’m naïve, but it’s hard to imagine 5-4 vote against Scalia’s Heller v DC write up.
SCOTUS scholars call it a masterpiece. I would imagine Roberts staying with Scalia.
But when we’ve gone down the rabbit hole, who knows?
Lindsey Graham you make comments about how the Democrats immediately run the offense with this supreme court pic and remarked about how unfair Democrats are. Seriously how about the fact that Obama was denied his supreme court pic and you and the rest of your cabal in the Senate wouldn’t even give him his supreme court pic I hearing . Lindsey Graham do you sweepy zone senates doorstep before he picks on the Democrats again another Republican hypocrite. It’s more like do as we say not as we do. And your actions speak louder than your words hypocrite.
We need us some Kavanaugh memes.
Sideways hat
Slip-sliding away
Oh, and unlike Kavanaugh, Charles Durning was a national treasure.
In my time zone he’s quoting Matthew. I muted the TV before I vomited.
This guy was conceived in a conservative test tube and raised on Republican bullshit in a hermetically sealed hydroponic environment for this job.
Amazing that he can’t just say he is against abortion, against unions, for corporate power, and for unlimited political contributions since that is why he is being nominated and that is why he will be confirmed. The most nauseating part of this whole thing is the shadow dancing around what every single intelligent person in the room already knows.
Everyone knows his views.
Everyone knows he is not going to admit it.
Everyone knows this is a heist.
This is why people hate fucking politics and most politicians. People parse this bullshit like it actually means something. It doesn’t.
“settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court entitled to respect under stare decisis.”
Not guaranteed, but entitled. As others have said, everything is a precendent until it isn’t, according to conservative justices. I really hope Susan Collins (at least) regrets her eventual approve-vote for the remainder of her miserable life.
Not about relativity but otherwise this actually happened…during the McCarthy era:
Atomic Energy Commission: Now, a question which is the corollary of that. Do you or do you not believe that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?
Dr. Edward Teller: In a great number of cases I have seen Dr. Oppenheimer act I understood that Dr. Oppenheimer acted in a way which for me was exceedingly hard to understand. I thoroughly disagreed with him in numerous issues and his actions frankly appeared to me confused and complicated. To this extent I feel that I would like to see the vital interests of this country in hands which I understand better, and therefore trust more.
In this very limited sense I would like to express a feeling that I would feel personally more secure if public matters would rest in other hands.
Edward Teller being the model for Doctor Strangelove, of course.
And just btw, if you’ve read the endless pages of those hearings you have an idea of just how much work it takes to lawfully revoke the clearance of someone you don’t like.
“…Auntie Lindsey Graham and your comments… Lindsey Graham shut up you’re a hypocrite…”
Wishing you could slap someone silly now and then does not make you a bad person.
Graham reminds me of that one asshole in every workplace we’d all like to throw down the stairwell.
Not the transcripts themselves but we did read Oppenheimer’s biography (American Prometheus) in our book club earlier this year. It includes in-depth reporting on the hearings and the people involved in them. Fascinating read.
waste of time, we don’t have the votes to block him
she doesn’t care, she will cont to get reelected
