Yep.

Reports are that Feinstein has had the letter since July, yet curiously waited until the last moment of his confirmation hearing do drop this "bombshell". Reports also say that she gave it to the FBI, who essentially said "big whoop" and aren't doing an investigation based on what's in there. Too bad her ally Strzok isn't there anymore.

We are beyond broken, both sides are guilty (though not equally guilty, not even close), and I just don't know what unites us anymore, short of another ISIS attack.

You constantly say that yet are the most divisive person here.

“Americans see beyond the far-left fear mongering. Senators should do the same. We should evaluate @POTUS’s nominee fairly, based on their qualifications. And we should treat this process with the respect and the dignity that it deserves. #SCOTUSNomination.”

Just like Merrick Garland?

Or like Bork or Thomas or . . . we are in the full blown development of a politicized Supreme Court. Like the rest of our governmental process, the Court has become unhinged from the principles on which it was founded.

Without principled foundations, most human endeavors, be they political, religious, scientific, economic, personal, they are doomed to lack of direction, relevance, meaning, or lasting purpose.

Can someone name or describe what is the foundation, with its principals and legal framework, of Progressive government?

I'll take a shot at that

To work toward the goal of everyone being completely equal in every way even if it takes ignoring the rule of law so that poor criminals can steal from those who have. Elect officials who will change the constitution to achieve goal. Find judges to judge against constitution as it is meant to be interpreted. Once certain rights are taken away, then total power can be achieved and utopia will be upon us and everything will be rainbows and unicorns.

Another words, fantasyland

I think this is spot on, especially the part about the Founding Fathers seeking equality for men rather than those pesky monarchies. Freaking progressives

They didn't seek equality of outcome, but of opportunity. We have a long way to go to equalize the opportunity.

Hmmmmm, bone colored parchment, about 24 by 29 inches, starts with a plural pronoun and has some really cool signatures.

Obviously, what happened to Garland was a purely political move by the GOP. However, they didn't accuse him of assaulting women. They just denied him a hearing. The American people, in free and open elections, chose to give Senate control to the Republicans. I think it's fair to assume that they didn't do so, to let Obama tilt the court to the left. If we wanted that, we would have left senate control in the hands of the democrats.

Even Ginsberg spoke out against Kavanaugh's hearings.
