    Sworn testimony in a court of law is. This ain't that.

    Extremely aggressive? At one point he was crying ffs, that's not aggressive. He denied the allegation made essentially without evidence.
    Come off it.

    Clearly you missed the point. Good to see you lurking though.

    She gave sworn evidence in front of the Senate. That’s evidence.

    Would have made it slightly less egregious, but if John Roberts is your "swing vote", you're still screwed...

    Shannon Bream on Foxnews reporting Bryer is highly upset about this announcement, that he had not planned it for today and in this manner.

    His "demeanor" was perfectly appropriate vis-a-vis the behavior and actions of the Democrats and their baseless allegations about it, I would have criticized had he NOT struck back at them for such vile and dirty pool they were playing.

    Hillary R. Clinton would make a fine Supreme Court Justice.

    That is not a requirement, Justice Byrnes was not a lawyer.

    A guy gets falsely smeared as a rapist and you're bothered that he got upset by that?

    Between 2016 and 2020, people like Silver and Sabato had realized their colossal mistake and "filled in the blind spots" to prevent the sort of catastrophic polling error that doomed the pollster's prrdictions in 2016.
    Everybody KNEW that the Polls would be reliable in 2020 (and that Trump was toast).
    In any event, Barrett was confirmed (regardless of Trump's perceived prospects).

    It is, but under further scrutiny, her claim could not be back by any thing else. Evidence isn’t proof. She had no proof and the people she claimed were there could not back her up in the slightest. Basically, her testimony was the allegation. She needed more than that and had zilch.

    Better than nothing.
    Better than having Gorsuch or Kavanaugh as your swing vote.

    She made an accusation, accusations are not evidence. She had no evidence to back her accusation. What she attempted to present as evidence fell on it's face as the persons she claimed to be witnesses denied any knowledge. Same with Thomas and Anita Hill, she had no evidence and her sole witness had to withdraw her testimony else face a charge of perjury.

    No it's not, if I accuse you of stealing something from me that is not evidence it is an accusation for which I must provide evidence.

    Let's hope we don't get another moron like Sotomayor. Not only can she not get the facts of cases right. She spews pure Leftist propaganda. She's a disgrace.

    Ah yes, do what you accuse the other side of doing and then accuse others that you disagree with of “hating America”.

    So original!

    She was rushed through against prior norms because Republicans knew they were about to lose congress and the WH.

    People are responsible for their own actions (unless you are a Republican and then someone else is always to blame)
