And he was the "moderate consensus" candidate that Obama put forward expecting that he would get confirmed with Republican support. Remember how the media chastised the Republican's singing the praises of the boring, but extremely moderate Judge Garland? They lie!
I disagreed with the Mitch on that one until I saw that letter from him on School Boards. In hind-sight, my anger at Mitch, and the Republicans, at the time was not mis-placed.
I always thought it was the right of the President to appoint judges without the Senate playing political games to avoid considering nominees. And I still do. But I must admit I'm grateful McConnell played that game in this particular instance.
You are nuts....Nothing was substantiated and in fact much of the claims were out right lies. Strange that Julie Swetnick and Michael Avenatti never faced charges over their false statements.
Not so strange. Progressive privilege. Law does not apply.
What is even more bizarre is how the legacy media promoted Avenatti - all they had to do is 10 minutes of due diligence and they would have realized he was a fraud
Penny, I sincerely hope you will tell us you were not being serious when you made that comment because a public statement like that about a sitting US Supreme Court justice, whether you agree with his politics or not, fits the definition of domestic terrorism. This is not the type of comment responsible adults make, especially not on Bari's substack.
So you only want one point of view when Bari has clearly stated that's not what she wants here? This substack is already proving to be the place where conservatives feel justified in their beliefs because a self-professed moderate centrist is sometimes aligned with them.
In a civilized society, if we don't like an official's politics, we vote them out of office or we have them impeached. We don't murder them, and we don't make jokes about murdering them, especially not in an article about "domestic terrorism."
Incidentally, I'm no fan of Brett Kavenaugh, but no one should ever be murdered or physically attacked because of their politics. If you disagree with that, you really don't belong on this substack.
No doubt Penny is a Rachel Maddow and MSNBC devotee who was fed 24/7 lies and hysteria during the Kavanaugh hearings. NBC was particularly vile in the bad reporting with Leann Caldwell and Kate Kelly actually reporting lies as truth and then it getting picked up on Twitter and the left wing echo chambers. Talk about fake news. It was the democrat treatment of Kavanaugh, especially those democrat blowhards on the judiciary (Whitehouse, Hirono, Booker and especially Harris) that hardened and chastened me forever about the true character and nature of them. As long as I live, Kavanaugh's treatment will always be a turning point for me.
And to think that Merrick Garland might have become a Supreme Court Justice.
And he was the "moderate consensus" candidate that Obama put forward expecting that he would get confirmed with Republican support. Remember how the media chastised the Republican's singing the praises of the boring, but extremely moderate Judge Garland? They lie!
Oh, yes. Merrick Garland was the epitome of moderation.
Merrick Garland needs to be investigated for conflict of interest and abuse of power. Then he needs to be impeached.
[was misplaced]. I added a "not".
Same here.

20-20 hindsight.

Yah, me too.
Would that be before or after you go after Cuomo, Biden, and Bubba?
go fuuuck yourself
Wayne. We all agree Penny is a fool but unnecessary comment.

Wonderfully unhinged statement.
Typical of a person who is part of a cult.
Penny. Time to take a long look on the mirror.

The pushback isn't about free POV. One of the best qualities of this board is the fact that most people don't indulge in petulance.

Agreed.
I'd call the FBI on her.
Nancy. Penny is protected from any repercussions due to her progressive privilege.

WTF are you talking about?
Never mind, nancy. I see this comment is a reply to Penny. Sorry.
That's all right. I understand.
