I find it interesting that people actually think that it’s okay to have a reputation like this new Supreme Court Justice (just confirmed) – even a scent of it, really isn’t a good thing for a judge – yet, it was his desires over his country – as he said that this had destroyed his reputation and been detrimental to him, his family, the Supreme Court, and the country – in that word order.
A man truly caring – who stated so in the reverse of that word order, would have withdrawn his nomination and written a book.
Now he is at risk of having taken a life appointment and of potential impeachment if lawmakers decide to pursue this at a later date. A full FBI investigation could be invoked at any time that enough people suspect that it is warranted.
The suggestion of this behavior really does point out that political gain has penetrated every part of the government. The corruption has now spread into all parts of the government – and with this judicial confirmation process, it is clear that the best candidate in their view isn’t a qualified candidate with the highest ethics – it’s whoever will do what the political party who wants to win at all costs wants him to do – decide cases based on their beliefs and their platform, regardless of whether it is within line for the whole country – the scales are now tilted until such time as they can be balanced at some point, years into the future.
More of the same – more of the same to further the dramatic change of this country into what? Certainly not change for the better. It is now a crude, unethical, lying, criminal on the bench – who could not even admit to what he did in his youth – he lied, he covered up, and people who should have stopped the process effectively blamed the victim and turned vehemently against her and the rest of the country who finds this utterly shameful.
Yeah, we’ve all known guys like him. Those guys that made a living hell for a few girls that they singled out as their “victims” to get their jollies off in some sort of warped way – frat boys who thought that they were better than everyone else (or maybe they are actually scared little boys with some hang-up that drives them to behave this way) – it’s the Lord of the Flies mentality – and it seems that these guys do get away with this – and this proves to them that they are right – different rules for different guys in different schools according to what family you come from, the club you’re in, the color of your skin and how much “wealth” you represent. The Silver Spoon club – the future “judges” – politicians – world leaders – above it all.
Sure – it’s fair, right? We should just look the other way and disbelieve the lady who came forward – all of the ladies that came forward, actually… Their word is not valuable here. Because, “he deserves this appointment… he worked hard for it!”
Some black actor can be sent to prison for this – some others not in “the club” can be forced to resign – some entertainment mogul can be arrested – others totally forced out of the business…
But after all – how dare we take away what was rightfully his? He worked hard for many years. He deserves this. He thinks last of his country, and first of himself. There it is in black and white. Just keep this in mind in the future…
