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.

The conceit here ignores what underpinned grandma’s warning to never talk politics or religion: It’s Sisyphean.
Of course a lot of my indictments of bias and blindered thinking are right. That’s why I’m being called a conservative. The uncreative bastards need to put everybody in a box, give them an identity to attack. TM is more accurate. I don’t have strong political “beliefs.” And reading the biased thinking of both sides these days, I consider that relativism the only intellectually honest approach.
The right and left deserve nothing but to have their “beliefs” attacked. Then maybe we moderates can rewind to the days when people compromised.
For the record, however, the GOP is more responsible for this sad state of affairs. They allowed their crazies to take over. The Democrats have at least tried to compromise here and there.
