Are we no longer allowed to freely say what we think?
Not, apparently, if we know people who might be appointed to the Supreme Court.
I feel sorry for Mark Judge. He spoke his mind in a variety of contexts, and it’s looking as if he’s the real reason that the Kavanaugh nomination is in trouble.
And while I disagree in general with Mark Judge has to say, I don’t see why his friendship with Kavanaugh should be fatal to the nomination. Nor would it have been in normal times. But these are not normal times.
Interestingly, I defended Roy Moore, whom I absolutely cannot stand, over the sexual freedom issue. Yet here, I see no reason even to defend Brett Kavanaugh, whose accuser offers no evidence that anything whatsoever happened in whatever year or place she can’t remember.
OK, people used to be lynched on such “evidence,” but so what? Unless we are to be ruled by Jim Crow style “To Kill a Mockingbird” standards of justice, I’m not getting it.
What gives here?
Might someone have read through Mark Judge’s stuff and decided (on the basis of his friendship with Kavanaugh — aka “opposition research”) to concoct a fantasy and run with it?
I’ve written a lot of stuff here over the years, and I’m glad none of my friends are being nominated for high office, or my writings might doom them.

most of you here are libertarian conseveratives or worse. I am not I am a lefty. you probably have less loathing for the clintons, pelosi, schumer and other corporate establishment democrats then I do. so let me tell you what is happening. the corporate establishment democrats have been discredited. the 2016 election being the final straw (you put up tyt 2016 election meltdown here) listen to what cenk unyger thinks about clinton campaign again. they saw what ocasio-cortez did to 4th highest ranking democrat in house leadership. other old white have gone down since. the establishment is scared that democrat base will get them next! so they have to pretend to be militant liberals and must be seen at trying to stop kavenaugh at any cost because if they don’t democrat base will be after pelosi’s and schumer’s ass. this is self preservation and donor class can’t help them ;but in fact are a liability. this will get worse. (or from my point of view better!)
Fortunately my own writing is enough to keep me in trouble for a good long time.
LOL
