A big reason Judge Brett M. Kavanaughs accuser says she doesnt want to testify in the Senate without first having her claims investigated by the FBI is she doesnt think shell be treated objectively and fairly by politicians.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) just thoroughly justified Christine Blasey Fords concerns. In comments Friday, he laid plain his intention to put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, apparently no matter what Ford has to share.
Heres what I want to tell you, McConnell said Friday morning at a summit for social conservatives. In the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the U.S. Supreme Court. So, my friends, keep the faith. Dont get rattled by all this. Were going to plow right through it and do our job.
There is no other way to read McConnells comment other than that the Ford allegation doesnt matter to him, at least not when hes so close to fulfilling his goal of firming up the Supreme Courts 5-to-4 conservative majority weeks before an election.

(4,066 posts)It will be only the second impeachment of a justice. But it is very clear he lied in his confirmation hearings for his current position and he's lying now for the Supreme Court.
We have to stop "moving on for the sake of the country" and fight back.

The fucking USSC has been highly partisan since they stuck us with Shrub. I have had enough of this shit!
If this bastard court gives us any trouble, I say cut their funding!

Let the jury consider their verdict, the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
No, no! said the Queen. Sentence first - verdict afterwards.
Stuff and nonsense! said Alice loudly. The idea of having the sentence first!
Hold your tongue! said the Queen, turning purple.
I wont! said Alice.
Off with her head! the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
Who cares for you? said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) Youre nothing but a pack of cards!
At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her: she gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fluttered down from the trees upon her face.
Wake up, Alice dear! said her sister; Why, what a long sleep youve had!
