[quote=outtamojo]So I guess this is the best conservative judge out there ? Nah, probably the only one willing to play their brand of ball.
Meanwhile McConnell says he wont be intimidated by protesters, iow he has no compunction to listen to the will of the people.[/quote]tbf, there is nonzero chance that Trump will nominate Jeanine Pirro to be the next Supreme Court justice if Kavanaugh vote fail. The question if you are a Republican senator is will you take that chance by not confirming Kavanaugh..

Nonsense. If he nominates her, just don’t confirm her. Only the nuttiest of the nuts would have a problem with that.

I don’t mind Kavanaugh overturning Roe v Wade and other socially significant rulings such as gay marriage. The silver lining is that as the court gets more detached from the people, voters will need to get off their asses and vote.
In the big picture, change and social advancement will not stop. Change can be slowed down for generations and that sucks for people but eventually change will come.
In the long run, Kavanaugh is worth more alive than dead.

It must be nice having that kinda privilege.
October 8, 2018 at 2:39 PM #810991FlyerInHiGuestYeah, I’m not getting pregnant. And I’m not getting married so the issues don’t affect me. But that would sure suck for the people affected.
October 9, 2018 at 1:21 PM #811004gromitParticipantI guess if you lack empathy, if “the issues don’t affect me,” they don’t matter.

I meant to quote this before. I’ll say it again – I guess if you lack empathy, then if “the issues don’t affect me,” they don’t matter.
January 7, 2019 at 12:21 PM #811520FlyerInHiGuestI think RBG will die soon and Trump will get yet another appointment.
Lung cancer is no joke. I think RBG only has months, not years left.January 7, 2019 at 8:30 PM #811535flyerParticipantIt’s true that many issues don’t appear to directly affect many of us, but since we do all have the inevitable and common bond of mortality (irrespective of our net worth we all so highly value) it might be apropos to remember:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.John Donne
