‘Little lies point to bigger lies’: How James Comey thinks the FBI could investigate Kavanaugh

i don't care if he did it or not.  I DO, however, care that people are calling to find him guilty for accusation alone.

You don't care if he lies about sexually assaulted women?  You, don't care.  Nobody's calling to "Find him guilty," we're calling for him being denied confirmation, for lying under oath, and a pervasive pattern of disregard for Federal Law.  We're calling for the testimony to continue, and for the allegations to be answered instead of avoided.

That is what I care about.  Who he is and if he makes a good SCOTUS, in this case, means fuck all to me compared to the fact that you people are upset over due process.

What do you mean You People?  Americans, Women, Victims of Sexual Abuse, or just "Liberals?"

Again, if he cares so little for federal law, the truth, and other people's rights, you're going to have to show anything to suggest that he might even be a Decent SCotUS judge.  

What really matters more to me at the moment is that people are screaming that because he was accused, that means he is guilty.

Now, he had a Senate Hearing, and that wasn't good enough...because he's on the opposite side of what you blindly refuse to question.

And that is really what I care about, and it has nothing to do with him.  But rather it says a lot about YOU people.  Specifically it says that you are willing to destroy anything and anyone at a fucking whim without even stopping to wonder if the person is innocent or not.  And it says that you don't give two shits if he is innocent because you don't agree with him.

That kind of thought process means that you're willing to purge out everyone for the slightest infraction.  And honestly, when hearings, trials, and evidence are meaningless and all that matters is that you don't like someone because of politics, THAT is fascism.  THAT is Authoritarianism.  And I want no part of that.

What really matters more to me at the moment is that people are screaming that because he was accused, that means he is guilty.

Who?  Who is screaming that?  Lying under oath is less important than people screaming?  News Flash:  Someone is always "Screaming" in America.  You know what?  Quite a lot of them were assaulted.

Specifically it says that you are willing to destroy anything and anyone at a fucking whim without even stopping to wonder if the person is innocent or not.

So, you don't care if he's innocent or not, you care if you people stop to consider if he's innocent or not?  Why the fuck do you care what we stop to consider when you don't care if a Supereme Court Justice lied about sexual abuse?  Your priorities are fucked.

That kind of thought process means that you're willing to purge out everyone for the slightest infraction.

I Don't Have The Power To "Purge" Anyone.  You should probably start to care about the ones that do.

You do not police my thoughts, which is a good thing, because you fucking suck at it.  I know what I believe, and I'm the one getting "Purged."  If you haven't noticed.  Refugees are the ones getting "Purged," but you don't care if they lie, to you about it, because you're too worried about what we are thinking.  

Your priorities are fucked.

FBI could wrap up Kavanaugh probe as early as Tuesday night

The news comes after two sources told NBC News earlier Tuesday that the FBI has not returned calls from lawyers for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. The sources also said she is not included in the bureau's current list of potential witnesses to interview.

Kavanaugh should not be confirmed. As much as I find the sensual assault allegations disturbing, I do not base my opinion upon that as the sole reason. There are others, including the apparent body of lies he has used to combat the allegation and other untruths he as made in this process.

The main reason I oppose his confirmation is that he demonstrated quite foorcefully and deliberately that should he be granted a seat on the SCOTUS khe would be highly politicized in favor of one side and not try to be balanced and fair, and follow the rule of law.

He stated in this first hearing statements that the SCOTU should NOT be politicized. Yet in his second hearing statement he intentionally and stridently brough his argument out that he was being attacked for political reasons, bringing in the Clintons (? What the hell do they have to do with it?) and supposed liberal donors (?what does that have to do with it?)

His outbursts in a prepared statement that makes his claim to be deliberative, even and calm a lie. I do not see him as a stable personality to place in SCOTUS.

[psiberzerker]

I just have to point out that the SJC is now added to the long list of government agencies dedicated to cleaning up the wake of fuckups trailing behind the Dumpster Fire, and everything he touches.  This could have been a slam-dunk.  Just about anyone, his fucking Janitor from the utility floor, behind the kitchens of Trump Tower could have been put on the Acella for a fast-track to DC, as long as nobody found the shrine he built to Melania in his apartment.

But no.  He had to fuck that up, too.  Instead of a slam dunk, we have to shut down the government, so the GoP can rush to Damage Control.  Instead of ruling the country with an Iron Fist, as they should be.  Doesn't Ted Cruz have something Beto to worry about, right now, in a mid-term year?  But no, instead of working on their re-election, they have to stay in detention, because the asshole touched something, and it didn't turn into gold.  Again.

Worst, President, Ever.

You are still saying that he shouldn't be appointed based on allegations alone that have yet to be confirmed.  That is still bull shit.

I can't get behind that.

Now, if you want to argue that he shouldn't be confirmed because his stance on metadata was unconstitutional, then I could be with you on it.  You would be right, I could support that.

But I really can't stand that the arguments here are allegations=guilt, and because someone was accused of something, they should be held accountable for it Just based on the allegations.

Katiebee, I was just getting ready to post here and saw you said what I was going to say.

Ignoring what will likely remain an unproven assault case (or cases), what really makes him unqualified is twofold:
1. His lies speak volumes as to his poor character far greater than his youthful actions.
2. While his loyalty should be to the Constitution, it’s clearly to the GOP instead.

Not to mention he is combative and bordered on sarcastic, neither of which shows the temperament and demeanor of a Supreme Court candidate. I wonder what a poll from the 8 active judges would indicate.?

With responses to questions about his drinking such as if he had any blackouts with a sneered, “Have you?” he was looking at the border of sarcastic in the rear view mirror staci.  He crossed that border so far it wouldn’t have surprised me if his answer had been ¿Tiene?

[psiberzerker]

“Have you?”

He tried that so many times.  I kinda have to wonder, how he would take that in his court of law.  Any court of law, he would hold them in contempt, and he fucking KNOWS that!  Look at that, let's just skip past everything else, and isolate just that.  He repeatedly answers questions with the question "Have you?"  As if he doesn't know how much that goes against the rule of law.  that right there is an utter refusal of Due process.  He might as well have just sat back with his finger in the air, and answered with "Fuck you."  That is the epitome of Contempt of Court, but he believes he can get away with it, because it's not a court.  They're just Senators.

That right there proves why he is unfit to hold a bench.  Any bench.  Family court.  He knows the law, he just doesn't believe that it has any bearing on him, or his behavior.  It exists soley for his power over other people.  Americans, there is no higher power.  Now, stick him in a room with 8 more judges, and see how much they get done.  That's the kind of asshole that will force split decisions, because he can.  He's that one guy on a jury that hangs juries, until it causes mistrials, and most damning?

He fucking knows it.

He is reportedly beligerent when he drinks.  Maybe he should have been asked how many beers he had before the hearing.

None, I suspect he switched all those water bottles for vodka.

 

Oh right.  He doesn't know what "Mean drunk" means.  Apparently, he's never been exposed to that concept.
