Perhaps since she demanded to testify the Senate committee should subpoena Dr Ford?

@jackjjackson The GOP abandoned any last shred of integrity when Senator Turtle refused to hold hearings on Merrick Garland. Now it's just a game to see who can get their guy on or block the other guy.

@puck61 What schism? The GOP has become a gang of lickspittle Trump sycophants. If you approve of that, great, but it pretty much means that they gave up their future for temporary gains.

Neither the republicans or democrats are close to having the high ground. Quite the opposite. They are both mud dwellers @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson wonderful. give yourself a pat on the back 👏👏👏

That’s high praise coming from you 😉 @room101

Maybe some exaggeration? Something seemed off about her. Not that something didn’t happen to her sometime. @akindheart

@jackjjackson there were so many holes in her story, it is not funny. did you pick up when they asked her about contacting Leland Keyser? most people would just say yes, i talked to her. no.....she says Leland has health issues and i am so glad she is getting help. when in fact leland told her to contact her attorney...this was all rehearsed. and why did she leave leland at a house alone with possible rapists????

There is a lot about this sad saga we will never know. @akindheart

@jackjjackson I didn't say it veers at my whim, but anyone who claims they have perfect knowledge of what the framers meant, and how they would apply their ideas to the modern world, is either lying or deluded.

Who has said he or she has such perfect knowledge? @LeopoldBloom

That the world endeavors to do new undiscovered things was not unknown by those who wrote the constitution.

That women would someday be included in the responsibility and rights of civic participation was not something they were unable to concieve nor was it counted as a thing unlikely by most of them.

Anyone stating that they erred for an inability to forsee change is blind as they say that the framers were. Only the framers weren't.

The constitution is not to be construed as a powers enabling document. It's to be construed as a power shoring and limiting document.

They knew that as the means of government grows through its expansion of numbers that it's ability to tread on the freedom's of its governed through greediness needed to be shackled.

Governed are not obliged to think like the government, follow moral decrees of the government, or pay increasing tributes to the government or its chosen favorite causes.

It never had the right to stick its nose into my or anyone else's moral business lacking a definite , named, demonstrated direct victim of my or someone else's intentioned acts of provable harm. Or make laws to create sacred cows, groups of special privilege, or persecute the majority for excluding the fringe behaviors of degenerates and oddballs from their daily life.

It's not the job of government to legislate morals, promote the inferior to a protected class, or issue surcharges to the normal for not worshiping freaks and weaklings, deify or demonize infants, give their blessing to self mutilations, wombicide, or racial erasure. Appoint itself as God, pose as Mother nature, act like the human race's trust fund mom and dad.

Governments duties are quite clearly outlined by the constitution. Our elected officials ignore them while doing all kinds of law making they never had the right to do.

I don't care what you think. They were smarter than you and until you figure that out you'll be wrong and so will the ones who think government is a solution.

It's not said but the framers knew government isn't a grand solution maker. It's only a means to open doors to people finding solutions.

And it works. But you gotta follow it's rules or pay a heavy social price. So fuck you and that fast ugly ol lying ass female professor who nobody would have wanted to fuck.
