    You think this lady is making this all up out of thin air. I don’t. He lied. While being sworn to tell the truth. He cried and yelled. Lying,crying, yelling...that’s for my 4th grader not a Supreme Court Justice.

    Again. For the 100th time. Just find another rich white old man for this position. I’m sure there are several non sexual assaulters to choose from for the Republicans. Right?

    I don't know. I've not seen anything close to "evidence" presented, and the stuff that has been discussed in detail by her have either been refuted by witness or are of dubious truth. And I've said repeatedly that if he did what she said he did then he should be held accountable.

    As I said, fair enough.

    See Post 1525. :cheers: There are even ones that aren't rich, old, white or male! It's as if they're selected for being good at what they do, rather than because of their demographics.

    Hilarious but really. Just get another Republican who fits the mold. Someone who will make their base happy.

    I would love to hear about the superior demographic group where you fit in. But I don't expect you to answer.
    I do suspect though that same shit will be pulled on who ever is next nominated to the court.

    Oh I am that demographic. That’s me. Although I’m mid 40’s not feeling too old yet. But i don’t want rich white men in control of everything. I like diversity and I trust almost any other segment of the population more than a bunch of entitled old white men who think they know what’s best for everyone. That’s the difference maybe between you and I. I don’t think people just like me are the best/most equipped to make decisions. I want everyone involved. I think we have enough evidence that white conservatives care about certain segments of the population a whole lot more than others.

    How do you explain that that 'same shit' wasn't pulled on Gorsuch?

    On the other hand, perhaps not. Have a good evening.

    Not your MO, but I'm not sure what you posted here proves your claim. I certainly don't know what the truth is here, but the people involved claim they were just paying the inevitable fines, not paying protesters per se. If you've got evidence that the word went out "come protest Kavanaugh and make $$$", then I'd accept that. Sounds more like they offered to pay fines for those that showed up on their own.

    But I could be wrong, and maybe you have better evidence?

    It is a fact, yes. But what does that fact mean? Do you think Soros paid her specifically to go to that elevator and make up a story that she was assaulted to tell Jeff Flake? Like if she was sick that day he would have paid someone else to do it?

    Oh, I answered for the wrong guy so I deleted it.
    The answer to your question, as I heard it, was they did not want to raise a ruckus over Gorsuch as he was a replacement for the conservative Scalia.
    But the replacement of liberal judges was going to be opposed without restraint, no holds bared.

    That's not even close to true. Try to remember that Merrick Garland was intended by the Democrats to be the replacement for Scalia.

    No, I don't...I'd seen a headline and looked up some of the background on it and just kind of distilled it into "Soros-backed". I'm certainly not willing to jump up and down that it's not what you say or that his reps called that person specifically for a specific thing. Just that Soros' money, I don't know the right word....abetted? Funded? Supplemented? Inspired?...the protests at the hearing and at Flake's elevator confrontation. Maybe it was a coincidence or after-the-fact "thanks for your support--lemme pay your fine."

    Ah yes I remember Garland. But what is not true? Are you disputing I heard this said, or are you pronouncing it untrue? Not going to argue either, with you, but what has that to do with Garland?

    I am not disputing that you heard it. I am saying that it is not true that Dems 'didn't want to raise a ruckus' about Gorsuch.

    There wasn't a hearing about Gorsuch's sexual assaults simply for the reason that no women (or men) ever accused Gorsuch of sexual assault.
