HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO BRETT KAVANAUGH?By Alexandra Petri
Washington Post Columnist
September 27 at 5:20 PMHOW DARE YOU?!
HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO BRETT KAVANAUGH?
HOW DARE YOU DENY HIM THIS SEAT?!Listen, NO, YOU listen!
Do you know who Brett Kavanaugh is? Brett Kavanaugh went to Georgetown Prep!
BRETT KAVANAUGH IS AN OPTIMIST WHO LOOKS ON THE SUNSHINE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN!
BRETT KAVANAUGH IS NOT YELLING!
YOU’RE YELLING!If Brett does not secure a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, this country will be IN SHAMBLES! THIS IS HIS BIRTHRIGHT! Do you know how embarrassing it is for a Georgetown Prep graduate to NOT be on the Supreme Court? They are literally 12 PERCENT of the court! THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST INDIGNITY YOU CAN INFLICT ON A HUMAN BEING!
ALL BRETT IS ASKING FOR IS DUE PROCESS! DUE PROCESS BEFORE HE IS DEPRIVED OF HIS GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO A SEAT ON THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND, WHERE HE WILL DETERMINE THE FATES OF MILLIONS!
Apply the standard you want to apply to your husband-brother-son. He should be allowed to be careless. He should be allowed to like beer.
BRETT LIKES BEER!
WHO DOESN’T LIKE BEER!
BRETT ISN’T YELLING!
YOU’RE YELLING!
THIS IS A CON JOB!
THIS IS A FARCE!
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
THIS IS BRETT’S SEAT!The Founders did not break from Britain so a landed white gentleman accused of sexual misconduct could NOT be given FREE REIN over the lives of millions!
If you give this woman credence, you will start a terrible trend. THINK OF ALL THE CARELESS PREP SCHOOL BOYS WHO WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SIT ON THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND! WOMEN WHO HAVE SUFFERED TRAUMA WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET ON PLANES WILLY-NILLY — EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FRIGHTENED!
You are going to deny a qualified man. The treasurer of Keg Club — DO YOU HEAR HIM, HE WAS KEG CLUB TREASURER! AND A RENATE ALUMNIUS! HOW DARE YOU DENY A KEG CLUB TREASURER AND RENATE ALUMNIUS A SUPREME COURT SEAT?!
ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE HER, AMERICA? OVER HIM, AMERICA?
YOU HEARD THE WOMAN! SHE DOESN’T EVEN LIKE TO FLY! YET SHE FLEW HERE! SHE DOESN’T REMEMBER ALL THE DETAILS OF THE EVENING, WHEREAS HE KEPT A CALENDAR, LIKE HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM!
HE IS NOT EMOTIONAL!
YOU ARE EMOTIONAL!
NO, YOU LISTEN!If this is how you are going to behave, if you are going to believe this woman, if you will let her stand there and destroy his life (well, not his life, technically, nor his freedom, just his chance of a seat on the highest court in the land), then what kind of country is this going to be?
They are going to drag him here in front of all these OTHER MEN and deny him a seat on the Supreme Court, and he will have to walk home confused and disoriented, and he will have to live with the feeling that he is NOT ON THE SUPREME COURT for as long as he lives. Whenever he gets on a plane and sits in his seat, he will think of the seat HE IS NOT IN.
This is OPPRESSION! TO BE DENIED POWER OVER OTHERS! IF THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS, DO NOT TELL ME.
He should be given exactly as much benefit of the doubt as we would not give a black man shot in his own apartment by police. HE DESERVES IT! IT IS HIS BIRTHRIGHT. HE WENT TO GEORGETOWN PREP.
As President Trump said, “This is beyond Supreme Court. This is everything to do with our country. When you are guilty until proven innocent, it’s just not supposed to be that way. Always I’ve heard you’re innocent until proven guilty. I’ve heard this so long. It’s such a beautiful phrase. In this case, you’re guilty until proven innocent. I think that is a very dangerous standard for our country.”
IT IS TRUE! No man should be deprived of his life, liberty or the deciding seat on the highest court in the land without DUE PROCESS. THIS SHOULD BE HIS. The right to decide the fates of millions is one a man like him is born with, ONE OF THOSE INALIENABLE RIGHTS, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM HIM WITHOUT BEAUTIFUL DUE PROCESS!
NOW HIS WORLD IS FALLING APART! NOW HE IS BEING FORCED TO GO OVER HIS HIGH SCHOOL BEHAVIOR WITH A FINE-TOOTHED COMB! THIS IS NOT FAIR! THIS SCRUTINY! THIS DEMAND TO ACCOUNT! HE DESERVES THIS POWER! GIVE IT TO HIM! STOP ASKING HIM THESE QUESTIONS! STOP TRYING TO SLOW THIS TRAIN DOWN! THIS TRAIN HAD BETTER GET WHERE IT IS GOING, OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN!
STOP SAYING THINGS! SHHH! BE QUIET! STOP RESISTING BRETT KAVANAUGH. STOP TRYING TO STOP HIM.
NO, LISTEN! LISTEN!HE DESERVES THIS!
LISTEN, YOU DON’T DESERVE THIS. AMERICA DOESN’T DESERVE BRETT KAVANAUGH ON THE SUPREME COURT.
IF THIS IS HOW AMERICA IS GOING TO BEHAVE,
IT DOESN’T DESERVE BRETT KAVANAUGH AT ALL!

the faces of the women
- The women look like he Boofed in their Faces. He also looks very calm and calculated. I'm gonna go play some Devil's Triangle now and not black out.capn_ron
- All Americans see what the Dems manufactured, an embarrassment. Kav told them to their face how the Dems want revenge for the Clintons.robotron3k
- https://www.dailysig…robotron3k
- All Americans see a spoiled, rich white boy kissing ass to the other spoiled, rich white boys, carelessly dismissing all women and their rights.formed

It's quite a testament to the relationships my close coworkers and I have that we can sort-of talk openly about boofing, pyramid triangles, and whatever else sordid stuff came up yesterday, but even I realized that, yeah... probably a topic best avoided lest HR hear us debating what that stuff actually is.

"Watching Brett Kavanaugh speak yesterday, it was hard not to be struck by the obvious fact that the masters of the universe are actually complete losers."
- Great article.PhanLo
- Interesting, the author states how Kav is vanilla Ivy League and how liberals are foolish because they idolize politicians like Obama. I think she's a commie.robotron3k

“I can’t help connecting the dots between a boys-will-be-boys high school culture, socialization into the legal profession by a ribald mentor, and what appears to be a convenient, willful blindness to that mentor’s obvious missteps.”

New York Times: Diversify the Boardroom, Just Not Like California
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/…
"... California passed a law mandating that every publicly traded company based in the state will need at least one woman on the board by the end of 2019 — and as many as three by 2021..."
- why stop at women?
it'll will keep the lawyers busy, at leastGnash - I only battle him when he implies women are inferior to men in the workplace based on their natural state as women.monospaced
- There has to be a quota system to include women in the boardroom. Oh brother... why on earth cant they work 80 hours a week for years to get there?! Men do.robotron3k

- getting accused of gang rape is hilarious. i'm sure his kids think he's a big pussy watching him cryGnash
- he's playing with the big boys now, it's a nasty game, better toughen up. He could have happily lived in peace at judge level.fadein11
- hopefully his kids aren't old enough to understand the repercussions of chasing power at all costs, his wife may be suffering thoughfadein11
- you've yet to burble even one original thought.Gnash
- please share more of your support for this, at best terrible nominee and at worst gang rapist lolz.fadein11
- god, you're a moron.Gnash
- I wouldn't vote for this guy if I was a senator. simply because I don't agree with his politics. Not because of this bullshit farce of a hearingGnash
- you're too stupid to even know how stupid you are.Gnash
- I wouldn't vote for him because he was handed a position by Bush on pretty much zero real experience. His crocodile tears just made him even worse. And hisfadein11
- anger lol, why so much anger? Lawyers always tell their clients to not show anger no? It's only a farce until proven to be a farce and the right wing conspiracyfadein11
- theories seem far less plausible than someone coming forward to express their experience of him. But call me an idiot again if it makes you feel better ;)fadein11
- I’ll do better. Despite my personal bias against frat-boy, jock, ivy-league, douch-bags like Kav ...Gnash
- ... they’re still not as annoying as the smug canting of a sanctimonious, woke-signalling, half-wit like you.Gnash
