The appointment process for a Supreme Court justice is not the time for the politics of conflict between the sexes or religious identity.
“You sowed the wind. For decades to come, I fear that the whole country will reap the whirlwind.” —Judge Brett Kavanaugh

The next nominee must not be a person who could ever possibly allow accusations from one person based on that person’s sex to cause the accused to be convicted. The next nominee must be a judge who has a long record of decisions on constitutional freedoms and protections and must not be chosen based on one issue alone or issues that are not hotly contested in politics today.
The next nominee must be a person who will think with the head on his shoulders—not hormonal influences, romantic notions, a single, contemporary religious institution or emotional intuitions.
This is the U.S.A., and our Constitution is as exceptional and as relevant today, as it was over 240 years ago. It is not open to designs to revise it to include old foreign errors.
Let’s learn to act like Americans and vote like Americans. This is the U.S.A.
So Brett Kavanaugh isn’t any of the
highlights you mention? Our next
appointment to SCOUTUS should be
someone who has the same fortitude,
love of country, and constitution,
as the honorable Brett Kavanaugh.

are you joking??
This was not about Kavanaugh or his behavior. This was leftist fascist Alinsky tactics to overturn the nomination.
It never was about the truth. Read the list of 12 Rules and stop being Alinsky-ed.
there is no one who can be perfect, because it is about lying and getting their way.
Do not be a fool.
Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:
1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”
2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”
3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”
4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:
1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”
2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”
3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”
4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”
5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”
6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”
7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”
8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”
9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”
10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”
11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”
Amen and second it.
. Having roots in a religious framework consistent with the founding roots of this country are a litmus test for me.
