The American Bar Association had previously rated Kavanaugh “well qualified” to be a justice, a distinction that Kavanaugh touted during his testimony.  The ABA now has serious concerns.

“Each appointment to our nation’s Highest Court (as with all others) is simply too important to rush to a vote,” Carlson wrote. “Deciding to proceed without conducting additional investigation would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate’s reputation, but it will also negatively affect the great trust necessary for the American people to have in the Supreme Court.”

Do you mean that the screaming, sobbing, rage-filled ranting of a man for a solid damn hour might cause you to question his judicial temperament?  When you add the Clinton conspiracy he talked about, this guy is Alex Jones looking at a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

And the beer stuff?  He’s an alcoholic.  There is no question in my mind.

Y’all, I don’t think the ABA has ever done anything like this. These guys are conservatives. They are sending up a warning flare.  That takes courage for them to do.

You saw the way he treated Amy Klobuchar.  How the hell do you think he’s going to treat Sonya Sotomayor?

And he lies.  He freekin’ lies and they know it.

UPDATE: The Jesuits have also withdrawn their endorsement.

Okay, I’m ready.  Plus, it’s a rainy day so I’m totally ready for this pathetic replica of a “hearing.”

Please feel free to cuss Chuck Grassley here.

Son of a motherless goat Grassley and his damn bullyism.  That twit is so defensive. Nobody gets that defensive without trying to hide something.  He ended up yelling before the break and contending that Dr. Ford interrupted his precious ram-it-through timeline.

It seems like to me that it was dumber than dog dump to limit the questioning to five minutes and then turning over the Republican questioning to a prosecutor.  The Republican prosecutor isn’t able to build rhythm or a case.  Not that she could even if she had all day.

Heads Up below.

I guess they couldn’t find
an anatomically correct one.

Lindsey Graham can kiss my big blue butt.  For him to call her “a nice lady,” but that Kavanaugh wins by default because she can’t collaborate her case, is the most crazy, patronizing, and incorrect piece of crap I’ve seen in a long time.

Okay, somebody tell me who the hell wants this sneeringly angry, viciously attacking, hate-filled, self-victimized man on television to be a supreme court judge?  You know, he’d be a lot more believable if he wasn’t yelling and sobbing.

If Dr. Ford had testified by yelling, screaming, shooting dirty looks, and then breaking down into sobbing uncontrollable tears, she would have been called unbelievable and hysterical.  They are calling him defiant.  There you have it.

Republican men acting like … well, Republican men.

The University of Texas is investigating an allegation that Texas state Sen. Charles Schwertner sent sexually explicit text messages to a graduate student, including a picture of his genitals.

He’s a Republican, of course.  And he says he’s a “family man.”

The female student met Schwertner at a political event on campus and told him she was interesting in working in politics.  They exchanged information in a professional manner and he started texting her.  According to the student, out of the clear blue, he …

During an otherwise professional exchange on networking and career advice, Schwertner abruptly wrote, “I just really want to f—- you,” and sent her an image that appeared to be a picture of his genitals that was taken in the shower.

She was not impressed and took it directly to university officials to investigate.

Schwertner represents Georgetown, a fancy upscale very red area north of Austin.  By pure lucky coincidence, Glen Maxey and I will be speaking there together on October 13th and I bet Charles’ name comes up. Probably more than once.

He does have a very qualified Democratic opponent, Meg Walsh. As far as I know, Meg has never taken a picture of her winkie and sent it to a grad student, and those are exactly the kind of people we need in the state legislature.

Schweriner denies he did this thing, but you know, there’s pictures sent from his phone.  If they hold a hearing to determine if that’s his winkie, I am definitely going because laughter is good for the soul.

The Republican boys on the committee think they need a girl to question the girls.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Sarah Sanders trots out her scowling self on Fox News to defend Brett Kavanaugh and Trump.  She gets her ducks in a row in her head and then says – out loud, mind you – that she thinks Kavanaugh should get a vote.
