I am sick an tired of news stories that don’t tell you anything, but tell you folks reactions to that something. The linked story doesn’t say what’s in these e-mails, it tells us what some folks think the e-mails imply, but doesn’t tell us what is in those e-mails.
I am sick about so called news being all about peoples feelings or interpretation and not about what happened.
I skimmed through the emails and couldn’t help but think, “meh.”
But maybe that’s the point. If complete nothingburger emails like this are being blocked from release, it kind of undercuts the reason why the GOP are blocking all of these emails.
Maybe because it happened while he was a staffer under GW Bush and has nothing do to with his career on the bench? This took place shortly after the 9/11 attacks too.
I am seriously confused. If it was clear and this was grandstanding (which I’m not ruling out), why did the GOP Senators make a huge deal about it not being cleared? I was listening to it live and the GOP was furious about it.
Are they claiming the documents were cleared retroactively? Did Booker grandstand and the GOP Senators simply didn’t know?
This I get - The GOP is actively hiding anything remotely controversial- which is clearly backfiring on them big time, as they’re already looking shady as hell. What people will remember is the GOP hiding the documents, not what was in them. Kavenaughs evasive answers and “I do nawt re-cahl” defense aren’t helping any.
It’s a damn shame this confirmation is already se the in stone, unless Murkoeski or Collins breaks. These Shennagins aren’t doing anyone any favors.
Gay marriage is a relatively new thing…still was a relatively “safe” thing over which to dissent. Especially when you know the right call has the votes to carry.
The context will be quite different if Roe is put on the block. Roberts will not want to look that regressive.
I was at SunTrust back in June for O’s-Braves and after we won an exciting extra-inning game I was talking to an Orioles fan I just met and told him (June 22nd mind you) that I hope we end up with the worst record to get the top pick. He agreed.
