That was excellent. Of course, it will fall on plenty of deaf ears, white man speaking or not.

I'm interested to hear how celebrating your confirmation with lobbyists for companies whose cases you likely will make decisions about is the same from a conflict of interest standpoint as interacting with any potential stakeholer in any case which, for a Supreme Court Justice, includes the entire country.

I'm all ears.

sure, i can spell it out:
"how unbelievably inappropriate it is for Kavanaugh to be celebrating his confirmation with the top lobbyist for a company that almost certainly will have cases that potentially could go to the Supreme Court."
this quote is S.T.U.P.I.D.
Mainly because it assumes a reality that does not exist...so similarly, we can assume that some other bakery might end up on the Supreme Court docket, thus making it unbelievably inappropriate for RGB to visit any bakery because it could be any bakery potential stakeholder.

But more so, Kavanaugh being in the company of someone he and his family has known for 2 decades is NOT unbelievably inappropriate.

Other than that, the further spelling is that your statement lacks reasoning; common sense; and an understanding of how Supreme Court operates. Your somewhat arrogant statement intends only to inflame and sow dissent due to a heapin' helpin' of butt-hurt.

Only enough to not black out and attempt to assault the lobbyist's wife. He's probably trying to avoid that look for now.

This didn't spell out the argument at all. It just reiterated the initial comment that betrays a lack of understanding of conflicts of interest and what constitutes them. So, if you would, actually spell out the argument instead of exclaiming two things are the same thing.

If this thread is any sort of reflection of the state of the union, we’re pretty screwed, aren’t we? :sad:

Yeah, it's best to just accept that now. Too many people in this country have lost the plot. Cynicism is the only reasonable option.

I’m not in a position to worry about other countries. America (get your crap together) First, right?

I can’t bring myself to believe that.
