Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Clarence Thomas are the very sort of judicial activists that conservatives have been railing against for years. The difference is that these men are likely to try and roll back as much as 175 years of judicial consensus. I disagree with many liberal justices opinions, but do not wish to have our civil rights returned to a robber baron days structure. |

You are right about the threat posed to democracy by biased and partisan judges such as Kavanaugh. We have already seen an example in the really contemptible Citizens United (corrupt oligarchs united) ruling. I note that it is not yet confirmed that Professor Ford bore false witness against Justice Kavanaugh. But if this is what happened, then absolutely she should go to prison because that is a really serious crime. In Britain we call this "conspiracy to pervert the course of justice".

This letter relates to another allegation against Judge Kavanaugh and has nothing to do with Mrs. Ford's allegations. According to media reports the FBI made no real attempt to contact the many witnesses claiming misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh. There is no reason to believe her testimony was false, but the claims of some others have been called into dispute. Really, what does what happened at a bunch of teenage and college parties have to do with anything? We had a guy in college who freaked out after an acid trip, became too paranoid to live in the dorms, and camped out for a year in a small hillside grove on campus. He later became a well respected politician in Southern California. I also know a girl who was a big time slut in high school who went on to a distinguished medical career. People grow up, settle down, and coach their daughters sports teams. |

I once knew a guy that happened to, they went on a date, had dinner and got tipsy and ended up in bed. A few days later she called the cops and said he raped her. I have no idea why. He got taken to the police station and grilled, but they let him go, probably smelled the bullshit in the complaint. This sort of thing is what undermines the credibility of genuine rape victims.

The handful of wrongful rape convictions in the U.S. are almost all the result of racism. For almost 400 years sex between white women and Black men has been coming to the attention of our criminal justice system, and it rarely ends well for the Black man. |

I had the television on in the front room on the BBC Parliament channel and I could hear in my backroom the gist of Mr Trump's speech and the speech given by Republican candidate Ron DeSantis, who is running for Governor of Florida. I never heard such a pack of bollocks in all my life as these two spouted, but the really depressing part was the idiots cheering for this crap.
Here is a taste of Ron DeSantis.
Mr Trump then spoke and assured us all that the wall is coming along fine, its just that he is getting fund appropriations a bit at a time and will start to build the wall only when all the funds are received. Pull the other one - it's got bells on.

Lots to cover in these past posts. First the judicial lean on the right, sure you dont like Thomas and Gorsuch and kavanaugh but what's with the insanity behind RBG? Shes just as slanted as them, as is Sotomayor and the Breyer. Also we can all agree trump is an ass, I dont know anyone who thinks "man he is so honest and great" hes not. He is tho less of a douche than Baldwin, that guy is has been forever will be a piece of trash.
Now scoundrel maybe it's the fact the mullahs in Iran hate america and we see that all the time, or their hate message of death to america struck and nerve and people got tired of it but I'm of with screwing them. On the flip side of this I think we need to take a hard look at the saudis and there new found idealism, which is all smoke and mirrors as far as I can tell. Sorry tangent, it would seem since the e.u. first becoming the master of all in Europe that things have been shakey. Maybe I'm not one for the global government ideology. Closing not goes back to jerk one or jerk 2 as compared about my post earlier, surprise ending they both suck. |

The mullahs have good reason to hate us and myriad reasons to distrust us. Yet, they made a deal and kept their part. To repeat moving towards Iran puts pressure on the Saudis to dial back their subversion of neighboring regimes and subsidizing terrorists. It is the Saudi backed Sunni groups who have actually attacked us. Have you forgotten that the 9/11 bunch were Saudi nationals? The al qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS are all their clients. More importantly, Iran has a cosmopolitan civilization dating back to Cyrus the Great. Their brand of Islam is not the ignorant fundamentalism of the desert Arabs. How quickly would the Chinese become good guys again if we make a new trade deal? Stalin was even "Good Old Uncle Joe" during World War II. Take the mullahs rhetoric with a grain of salt. Besides, to a culture putting submission to Allah's will our soulless materialism is profoundly evil. |

The left are nothing but a bunch of crybabies. Even though Congress tends to switch sides in regard to party control on average about every eight years or so the SCOTUS hasn't seen a liberal majority since the early seventies. The liberals feel it's their "turn". And yes, they would like to stack the court just as much as the right would. It's just that they demonize the right for wanting to do it. Hypocritical, self righteous pussies.
