Of course you get that. As usual, you’re hiding behind obtuseness. (Read some of Baez’s criticisms of Dylan’s transparent use of that tactic... Might serve you well.)

I don’t see any unfair thing being done to him by her for seeking to keep him off the court. If she thinks he’s a would-be rapist, for fuck’s sake, she has an obligation to seek to stop him.

You can’t ever give it up. I’m agreeing with you, supporting her decision, and you still have to save face.

I'm not saving face. I was pissed off by the way you described her.

Consider this: Maybe this GOP taking point is really stupid. Maybe it’s completely sensible, rational, and patriotic for a sexual battery victim to want to keep her attacker off scotus, and it’s fine if this is her only goal here. And maybe, just maybe, that makes your criticism of my citing that fact pretty hollow.

And now put your ego on a shelf, have a Belgian, and say, “Okay. We’re all on the same page here.”

Did I suggest she is indifferent to whether he is on the Court? Hardly. Again, my problem is with the way you describe her.
