He's a hack. Always has been. Always will be. Totally beholden to the Federalist Society and the Republican Party, and couldn't care less about, say, the Constitution.

I don't know if that is better or worse than some of the hard core ideologues that are the alternative with the Federalist list.

Schumer has been a TERRIBLE opposition leader.

I'd call this a colossally stupid take, except your probably right that the FBI will reveal nothing. Not because there's nothing to reveal, though.

On further reflection, Kavanaugh's admitted partisanship might hurt him on the Court. On close cases, it might marginalize him, a la Thomas. A committed, known vote that will have no power in majority making.

As it sounds like the FBI has been directed not to seek any corroborating evidence, it sounds like it's not going to be coming from anyone.

I may well regret saying this, but I think there is reason to let Flake, Murkowski, and Coons do what they are doing and see where it gets us. I don't trust Collins at all.

I read Flake's statement last night that this is all over if it is shown that Kavanaugh lied as a signal to Kavanaugh's supporters that they need to start leaning on him to withdraw, because he lied.

Also, this isn't going to be very good cover if the FBI does squat. It will be an interesting week.

Brett’s lament, or Tobin, PJ, and Squi.
 
With apologies to Abraham, Martin, and John

Has anybody here
seen my old friend Tobin?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He bounced a lotta quarters,
but it seems the keg died young
And I just woke up and he was gone.

Has anybody here
seen my old friend Squi?

Is he still bangin’ that hot blonde?

Judge called her hot to trot,
though a little young, he thought
But I just came to, and she is gone.

Has anybody here
seen my old friend PJ?

Is he passed out on the lawn?

He crowned me “Ralph the King,”
Played varsity, though second string,
Drank Everclear, and now he's gone.

Didn't you love their douchebag habits?
Didn't they try to find some strange for you and me?

And I’ll be confirmed,
Someday soon it's gonna be my day.

Has anybody here
seen my old friend Donny?
Can you tell me if he bought it?

I thought I saw him walkin' into the locker room
With Tobin, PJ, and Squi.

It took awhile, but apparently the administration has finally figured out that when you campaign on decade-old facts, you can just change the names of things and declare victory.

Yeah, they did more than that on NAFTA. They also made more or less the changes that TPP would have made. Things are totally different now. :rolleyes:

Anyway, time to do the same with Trumpcare.

No, he just hung out with the basketball players.

Fun fact: my wife was friends with Chris Dudley's wife in junior high/high school. I've met him once; seemed like a nice enough guy. I'm surprised that the bar fight story didn't come up when he was running for governor here.

Regarding the cruelty of programming yourself out of a job, I guess I'd tell that guy, never give them too much too fast and always leave something undone or too confusing for them to get rid of you. I hate that sort of thinking, but in cost-cutting cycle, what else can one do?

It's not like he stated an earnest love for Dave Matthews.* Liking UB40 in the 80s was a mere summary offense in most states.

*I do like "Two Step." It was a good sex song. "Crash (Into Me)," which was sold as a sex song, sounds like a pervert trying to get a young girl to disrobe for compensation of some sort. Not sexy at all.

I feel left out not having the Facebook. Is it worth sharing on the PB? (“FB” will always mean “the Fashion [Tips] Board” to me.)

And since Supreme Court justices are above judicial conduct rules (which is, policy wise, probably a Not Bad thing), my cousin Brett will face no real discipline for his testimony. He can be impeached, but how likely is that?

Shit, for a frat bro in the mid-80s liking UB40 enough to see them live was downright cutting edge.

Unlikely, but I wonder if documents might emerge someday (with a Democrat in the White House) showing that he lied about the stolen Democratic Senators' documents.

We put "Crash" on our wedding playlist as an inside joke about the auto accident that nearly killed us the week we got engaged.
