Well, he did embrace a woman of ill repute when he was a young man ... 2000 years ago.

And then there was that explosive anger issue at the temple.

Plus, the guy was prone to wandering off into the desert by himself and staying incommunicado.

And then, there was that penchant to imbibe. The man liked his wine.

Hey, did you hear the one about him walking on water ... and speaking to Satan ... on a first name basis.


But no, He would not be crucified again. Legacy would list a dozen articles about the inhumanity of crucifixation quoting Booker that Spartacus was the last great crucifixation. The gladiator slave died to end slavery. Jesus merely wanted to die for the salvation of mankind.

The Left would just smear Jesus and leave him to live thus defeating his purpose in life and guaranteeing eternal damnation for all whether they wanted it or not. If that didn't work they'd threaten impeachment from the carpenter's union.

I've looked it up but could not find an answer.

Does anyone know what time the hearing/interview begins? I am not a lawyer but have studied and followed the law and legal proceedings most of my life.

I have no dog in this fight but, as an outsider, this entire process has really confused me.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

This was more believable when there was only 1 allegation. Allegations #2 and #3 are just silly.

This is getting absolutely beyond the pale....

Dr. Ford's claim is worth looking into. These other two don't even pass the sniff test.

This is just getting absolutely ridiculous at this point. I was sympathetic to listening Ford out and giving her her day in the Senate but the way that these last two accusations have come out as well as how the Senate Dems have thrown their ass around (Ford should have a hearing -> It's absurd to have Ford testify/ I can't believe these old white men are going to ask her questions -> How dare you get a woman from the outside to ask her questions) I just want Grassley and Cocaine Mitch to get this over with.

As relevant as the metaphor of Jesus to Kavanaugh is, stopping short of casting the roles of God the Father, the Pharisees and Philistines, Judas and Mary Magdalene does a disservice to our community of worshippers in this Passion Play. For blasphemers, stoning is the appropriate punishment. I visited a local abbey yesterday. Beautiful place. While replete with a quiet splendor, I could walk the Stations of the Cross outdoors under the canopy of age old trees, seeking forgiveness and insight with the greatest gift being humility and a recommitment to listening to others.

I will say that Trump is dumb as hell for nominating your quintessential frat bro which makes him a legitimate target for these kinds of accusations. Of all his political blunders, this one might end up being the most costly.

When was the last time a Republican president nominated a woman to the Supreme Court? Reagan?

What do you think should be looked into though? Ford doesn't know when or where it occurred. There's no physical evidence to examine. We may see what will happen with "witnesses," but several she named have refuted the story.

This isn't a who-dunit. This isn't a trial. This isn't even relevant. Not mention, odds are quite favorable that it didn't even happen. This isn't a murder mystery here.

This is a well qualified, highly educated, and verified man of character who will be our next SCOTUS Justice. We've had the information presented to justify an overwhelming qualification. An overblown character assassination doesn't change any of that. This is just a desperate attempt to resist and attack in a new low for ugly politics.

Confirm him. Move on.

I didnt like the Kavanaugh selection because I wanted Barrett. But now I love the Kav pick.

A.) Seems to be a fairly normal guy
B.) Libs are throwing the kitchen sink at him to try and stop him because he's anti-abortion.
C.) Keg City Kavanaugh

The post wasn't necessarily relevant to the thread, but this is great. What a blessing to be able to visit!

At this point we are basically here because the Democrats are shrill and shameless as usual Republicans are gutless scared as usual...

I hope this is sarcasm because you would be hard pressed to find a better nominee.

Sounds like the who's who of IE. Most of us haven't met each other but we drink excessively. And the only gang rape I've witnessed was Bama vs ND 2013.

I feel bad for any nominee for the most part...but this sort of character assassination will honestly make people, particularly men, think twice before being willing to deal with it to be on the Supreme Court.

This dude has passed a ton of background checks. His life has been fairly public since 1993. Now he has been accused of attempted rape, gang rape, and assault. Never been accused of this before, and the allegations allll start coming after his hearings and he's set to join the highest court in the land....after spending 12 years on the "second" highest court.

This has gotten beyond sad to see.

This puppet lawyer of Rahm and Barack really takes the cake.
What a POS excuse for an attorney.

She admits, as an adult, to witnessing children being gang raped on 10 different occasions without notifying police.

She should be picked up immediately for questioning. As should her lawyer for not notifying the police.

It's almost like the left is doing everything they can to keep DJT and the Republicans in power with their non-stop BS.
