    Wow!
    I don't see how you could expect anything but biased resentment from the judge while he is being subject to extreme bias from 10 unified Democrats with a hard on.

    From what I've read, you didn't want him as a supreme court justice when he was a squeaky-clean virgin law nerd. But confirmation bias is powerful.

    As far as Kavanaugh goes, it doesn't matter much to me if he's confirmed or not in terms of what I'm rooting for from the court. He's probably #3 or #4, ideologically, on the short list that I prefer. There's going to be a conservative judge posted to the seat at some point no matter what happens so it's fine. And as long as Thomas stays on the court longer than either RBG and Breyer, the court will stay (even if D's win the Senate and shoot down everyone) 4-3 conservative and we'll stay away from progressive ideology for a generation. And if either the R's win the Senate or Trump wins in 2020, I'll get another shot for someone I agree with to be posted. :dunno: That's why I'm fired up on this not because I have some glaring need for this particular dude to be confirmed, but because it seems like a crappy tactic for governance.

    these are my check boxes

    1) anger
    2) obvious bias against the democratic party
    3) sexual accusations
    4) his opinion that presidents can't be criminally charged while in office
    5) Republicans only turning over 10% of available documents regarding Kavanaugh
    6)Roe vs Wade
    7} fact that republicans stole a supreme court justice seat and refused to allow Garland his rightful position with political BS about elections

    and I'm sure there are a few more I am missing

    Ah now this is a genuine concern. How many tons of paper would it take to change one of the 10 democrat votes from Nay to Yah?
    How much more time would be need for that vote?

    ...in that case perhaps you should reassess your approach to posting and responding to other posters. I'm not talking about your position or political affiliation/stance but instead, the way you interact and relay your stance to other posters. You really need to get over this idea that you are being persecuted.

    ...that could be applied both ways...how many tons of paper would it take to change one of the 11 GOP votes from "Yah to Nay"?

    So you accept holding back evidence as being okay? Not surprising considering the source

    Tl/dr... Charge?

    What are you talking about? This is s job interview that he's performing horribly in. Plain and simple. He's also lied several times in his questioning.

    Keep defending a lying sexual assaulter. I'm not...
