I'll ask you the same question I asked your countryman. What agenda could a single supreme court justice possibly advance by himself? Take your time but don't dodge the question.

I'll bet neither one of them has listened to Susan Collins speech.

But, let's forget Ford for a second. What of Kavanaugh's repeated lies, under oath, during his testimony? He lied about his drinking, he lied about the meaning of "boofing", he lied about the meaning of "Devil's triangle". Just to name a few things. A judge so willing to lie about so small things says a lot about his values, both personal and professional.

Hell, even the American Bar Association is now re-evaluating Kavanaughs 'well-qualified' rating.

There is no doubt he will be confirmed, it doesn't matter what he may or may not have done. The republicans know they can ram him through, and they will.

Kick him to the curb, I don't care. I will go along with that, we could have looked for a better Justice.

Like who? Anyone that Trump nominates would be treated the same way.

Maybe Bill Cosby? I understand he's available.

I don't get it, from what I gather you'd be dancing in the streets if Germany had their own version of "Donald Trump" large and in charge? No?

They already had one, and as I recall, it didn't work out. Ran on a platform of making Germany great again too.

He did not lie under oath. That was another smear by the dimocrats which has been debunked.

And no he still has the highest ABA rating and recommandation. There has been no change.

Do you just parrot dem talking points or do you actually bother thinking for yourself?

Ah, I don't recall posting anywhere that I like Donald Trumpo.

An extremely fanatical conservative and anti-abortion agenda for which the supreme Court now has alasting, consevative majority for years to come, inside which Kavanaugh always can try hard to influence and outvote opposing opinions by more liberal judges.



Its about the majority in the court. And you know that.Your question-asking is purely rhetorical.

I sometimes wonder if you have any idea about America and its system of law and politics. Supreme court justices do not 'try hard to influence and outvote opposing opinions'. That is nonsense. If a case comes to the supreme court each justice writes his or her own opinion. Yes the majority rules but there is no guarantee how any of them will vote. Well that is not quite correct. The liberal justices all most always vote the same way.

Once again I will ask you for some facts. Do you have any evidence that this 'agenda' exists on the supreme court? I don't want your opinion or anyone else's opinion.The only opinions that matter would be the opinions of the current members of that court. Do you know what they are? If you don't then I would suggest you try to find out. When you do please let us know.

I quit being bothered after the Kavanaugh confirmation. Now following the events in your banana republic with the amused wonder only a European perspective brings...

Oooh, what an Ice Burn! Your grandfathers seemed pretty grateful for our Banana Republic when we liberated you from your neighbors back in '44.

Yea. In a way I hope you are right but I don't think so. Past experience says no.
