http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/20...cans-will-too/ same as it ever was-

attacking CBO (as both parties do when in the majority) only shows the strength of the office's findings- the same would be true with my hypo "Character office findings." Would Trump attack the Character Office if it found Kavanaugh unfit? Of course- would it have given cover to a senator or two to vote no, maybe? But mostly it would provide an avenue for an actual finding and a standard for what that finding means- or should mean.

Just because I ran Sidd off doesn't mean this board is dying for someone new to step into the blinkered troll position- fuck I'm almost at the point of going back and rereading if sebby hasn't been right all along.
