Kavanaugh is radically conservative. Here’s the data to prove it.

Washington Post ^ | 7/10/18 | Elliott Ash and Daniel L. Chen

This is BS passing as hard sociological research. Most circuit court decisions are based on three-judge panels, so in each case the data set consists of only three units and three variables. Trying to base statistical analysis on such a small data set is like doing a nationwide poll of sixty people, and then forming conclusions based in the tiny data set.

It's like being alarmed by a "100% increase in murder" caused by the number of murders rising from 1 a year to 2 a year.

Even allowing for that, Kavanaugh voted with the majority 93% of the time, and 86% of the opinions he wrote had no dissenting opinion.

[Ohioan]

You nail the absurdity of the Post's deliberate oxymoron. What they are doing is, of course, an obvious effort at Misdirection: A Familiar Leftist Tactic.

The purpose? Their War On An American Future.

Pretending that a high level of devotion to one's heritage is somehow suspect, reflects a level of anti social bias, which should be easily recognized.

The Intimidation of Patrick Knowlton

“ As a last resort, Knowlton prepared a "Report of Witness Tampering" and took it personally to the Office of the Independent Counsel. "It was their responsibility, at the very least, to find out who leaked word of his subpoena," notes Evans-Pritchard. According to Evans-Pritchard, John Bates responded by calling security and having Knowlton removed from the building.

Perhaps the most telling indication of Starr's attitude toward Knowlton is the humiliating cross-examination to which this brave man was subjected before the grand jury. Knowlton says that he was "treated like a suspect." Prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh appeared to be trying to imply that Knowlton was a homosexual who was cruising Fort Marcy Park for sex. Regarding the suspicious Hispanic-looking man he had seen guarding the park entrance, Kavanaugh asked, Did he "pass you a note?" Did he "touch your genitals?"

Knowlton flew into a rage at Kavanaugh's insinuations. Evans-Pritchard writes that several African American jurors burst into laughter at the spectacle, rocking "back and forth as if they were at a Baptist revival meeting. Kavanaugh was unable to reassert his authority. The grand jury was laughing at him. The proceedings were out of control."

It was at that point, reports Evans-Pritchard, that Patrick Knowlton was finally compelled to confront the obvious: "the Office of the Independent Counsel was itself corrupt." (pp. 106-107)”

Radical Conservative is an Oxymoron. The author is just a plain moron.

from linked article:

“Reproductive choice — and its absence — affects what happens within women’s bodies.”

Not really. Reproductive choice stems from the prior choice that causes the pregnancy.

I will never, ever understand the frenzied uproar over abortion rights. Never.

Would just showing the ghouls a video of an abortion at least once a day quench their blood thirst?

Swoon. There just ain’t gonna be enough smelling salts for all these ladies.

[precisionshootist]

“The lesbian is radically liberal. The racist hispanic Sotomayer is radically liberal. The decomposing old hag Ginsburg is radically liberal.........etc. etc. fool..where’s your column on them?”

The fact that patentenly dishonest people like them are on the court completely undermines the legitimacy of the court itself. These people should not serv in the justice system in any capacity much less the highest court. We need to somehow make the courts accountable to the people. A few hopefully conservative judges is helpful but it’s still lipstick on a pig.

[precisionshootist]

He is not radically conservative whatever that means. He does wear a size extra medium shirt however. The reality is this guy supports stare decisis in almost all ceases. This guy will never overturn roeVwade and the dems know it. We are being played. President/stare decisis is only beneficial if you have honest jurists to start with and that’s not what we have. Stare decisis doctrine followed by our Supreme Court will only serve as a mechinism to perpetuate the tyranny of illegitimate decisions.

[frnewsjunkie]

I am a radical conservative also. It’s been said I don’t have any gray area in my thinking.

Right! Gray means you ride the fence.. and if you have children, that gray area means they think they can get past it and do it anyway.. whatever the gray area stands for in any given family/person.

To a kid, a strong NO means there is no use asking again. A gray area no means, keep hounding.. there’s hope.

I admire the good people who don’t bend in the wrong direction. Trump is one of those who does not bend unless there is good reason to do better than he first thought.

Wishy washy gets a person nowhwere.
And how glad I am to see Fox squirm at Trump’s open and honest conversation across the table at NATO.. he doesn’t beat around the bush.. he gets right to the point.
Great! isn’t it!!
Fox media calls it ‘unorthodox’ and some other names. It amazes me that anything that isn’t done exactly like they think it should or used to be done... has names added to it... Trump gets things done... acommplishments.. and yet they are constantly surprised.

When the old lib guard comes on to “explain”, they sound so old, stale and obama like. I hope I never have to hear him again, and I hope he never gets a chance to go overseas on an apology tour again. It sounds so horrible.. sounds so defeated.. sounds so anti American!

Re: tagline

It's exactly analogous to those tenuous moments of a potential Trump campaign start in the earlier election cycle of 2011, as The Donald was spouting, "Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?"

At the WHCD, Barry went all out Hollywood to undermine any potential of a Trump candidacy.

In 2011, with the 11-11-11 date fast approaching, BHO had reason to fear the military would never go to war for him, thus the PTB would likely find Trump and his Georgetown credentials a very valuable alternative to him, causing tangible advantage for Trump (not to mention the empty suit versus a real success factor).

In 2016, JOBrennan and BHO would incompetently leave no stone unturned to make sure Hillary (Deep State-Wicca/Haiti-Child Trafficker & thief) would win. Brennan set the goals for Lynch-Comey-Rosenstein-Stzrok and assigned them operatives (Halper, CPage, etc.) to do Trump campaign infiltration and counter-intelligence.

[Gritty]

Gasp!

The "Constitution" is doomed!!

[Mr. K]

For those not familiar- Knowlton was the man who found Vince Foster’s body.

He says there were other people there, the car was not there (yet) and the body had NO GUN in its hand.

[i am close on the facts, not exact- but now you have the context of who Knowlton is, and his treatment by Kavanaugh- I am liking this guy not at all]

I am hoping one of the weirder theories I heard was true- that he was picked so as to FAIL in the confirmation hearings and then expose HilLIARy and the Vince Foster death all over.

[Zeppo]

Perhaps the most telling indication of Starr's attitude toward Knowlton is the humiliating cross-examination to which this brave man was subjected before the grand jury. . . . Prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh appeared to be trying to imply that Knowlton was a homosexual who was cruising Fort Marcy Park for sex. Regarding the suspicious Hispanic-looking man he had seen guarding the park entrance, Kavanaugh asked, Did he "pass you a note?" Did he "touch your genitals?"

That kind of detail must have come directly from the transcript of the Grand Jury testimony (?!).

Or else perhaps it was "invented" or paraphrased and embellished by someone with an agenda other than strict factual reporting.

Which possibility is more likely?

And if the reported direction of the questioning was largely as reported here, how much of that insinuation was factual?

We have one take on it, but we likely don't have "the truth".

You are mostly correct, but may I just change your words to "but we perhaps don't have "the truth".

The episode deserves more scrutiny.

Watch at least the first half of this.

I have read extensively about Patrick Knowlton. It is my strong opinion that he is telling the truth. (JMO) -- Brett Kavanaugh was a hired gun to do some dirty work............ to earn his stripes in The Swamp.

Fair enough.

It's not my intent to cast aspersions on Mr. Knowlton or his veracity, however (especially) in a contentious atmosphere such as the current one, it's all too easy to be swayed by information that is not susceptible to direct examination and verification.
