i would not want him to try my case he is to emotional...... justice is blind..... he will not be.... and he also feels the president should not be able to be sued or tried for a crime. that makes the president above the law and a king . he said foreign countries should be able to give campaign money to politicians .. we all know what that means... a paid for politician
 
He is a liar, a blatant partisan and has a short fuse.
 
65 votes now and only 2 voted that Kavanaugh was actually guilty of Ford's charges. That's 3%! In other words, not even the left believe that Kavanaugh did it. And yet, they want to hang Susan Collins for voting the way she did.

I voted NO because there is no definitive proof he is guilty,but he clearly doesn't have the proper temperment to sit.. Do I 'think' he did the deed? YES,I do. Isn't that how jurice prudence is supposed to work?

I would like to think that the partisan divide would not be enough reason to seat an unacceptable justice.

But then I remember this is America in 2018.

He was acceptable to almost all of us vote for Trump-especially those of us who wanted him picking Justices-not Hillary Clinton, the ACLU and the Brady gun banners.

Hey, buddy! I try to imagine the charges against Judge Kavanaugh, as if she were accusing me. There is no proof, there will be no proof, and further, the more I hear of how she coached ways to pass the polygraph, the more I wonder if anything ever happened to her.
You know I respect your honest thoughts, but in this case, I fall in the innocent till proven guilty camp. Not that he wasn't capable, but I saw an innocent man aggressively defending himself.

Nothing has been proven in a court of law. If Kavanaugh has been slandered he should sue. Now that you mention it, why hasn’t he? I’ll bet he knows a good attorney.

Not certain of this, but I don't believe you can sue for testimony in a Congressional hearing, can you?

I see your tag, and with respect to Douglas Adams the satirist, it is also untrue. I don't see how it could be more incorrect. All opinion's are by definition equal. If you have facts that prove a point, that is not as opinion, at least not necessarily so(Depending on the source of fact). I have seen your writings in other areas and know you can prove a point, but you can't dismiss an opinion and consider it proof of anything, other than being inconsiderate(not as mean, but not considering) in the truest sense of the word.

that's a testament as to the hackery of those who say no. Good thing the views of partisan hacks mean nothing in the real world. Now its time to get a couple more people like him on the court to replace the Clinton anti-constitutionalists

Wow, bud! You tag yourself as Conservative, but use Liberal rejoinder! Conservatives are tasked with making others get it. IMO, we are better than that. You know what is right, take the time to express it. Little is more fearful to lefties, than fact. Remember, they are carrying the weight of the USSR, China, Venezuela, and Cuba as they discuss. One would hope, it wouldn't take too much more to make them see the light.

An opinion that the world is flat is hardly the equal of an opinion of a world class geologist.

The opinion of one who believes the moon is made of string cheese vs. the opinion of John Glenn on the matter.

I think we agree to a point. Recall, I said facts vs. opinion. The fact remains, opinions are equal. Looking back, I believe you dismissed another's opinion, without fact to bolster your reply( to LM).

Well I do have facts on my side.

The fact Kavanaugh went through multiple FBI background checks without problems.

The fact Dr. Ford's allegations were investigated.

I disagree with you. In court, the opinions of witnesses who have been certified by the court as experts, are allowed to be published to the jury. The opinions of lay witnesses are usually not allowable in court. Taking that a bit further, we have lots of people in some areas who opine on issues that they have absolutely no clue about what they offer opinions upon.

And this comes from several reasons. In some cases, people are just plain ignorant. in other cases, they have set forth a facade and their opinions don't really relate to their real reasons.

My gosh! How did I end up on the side opposing Judge Kavanaugh? I truly believe he was deserving and I am relieved to have him on the Supreme Court. I sure didn't mean to come down on any other side of that! Sorry, if we missed our convergence on that point!

Okay. I don't think I meant that LM was an expert witness. I do believe he/she is entitled to opinion. That was my first and chief concern. I was merely excepting what I felt was a slight to him/her expressed OPINION. I certainly concede that some opinions may be emotional, but even then, to dismiss that opinion is a bit inconsiderate.
I know you have facts, and perhaps I jumped the gun. But like yourself, I have also read post from LM and they generally aren't merely emotional.
That being written: If I have in some way offended you, I am surely sorry. That wasn't my intent. My only goal was to reset out our understanding of each other.

I never meant to imply you were opposing Judge Kavanaugh...

I was speaking about the person whose opinions I consider irrelevant.
