    Hint:

    "These are the lies Trump told: ..." is not a summary argument, and provides more than just an impression of the weighty evidence.
    You once again live up to your nickname.

    What you're not saying is that each item on the list is itself a summary argument.

      He seems to wake up in a new world every day.

      And I have to ask, what did Coons give in exchange? Was there any indication that this would change the landscape at all?

      The real question are the Democrats in deeply red states who are up for re-election and who were banking on Kavanaugh stepping aside and sparing them from voting. Since he didn't Cuomo has been repeatedly urging them not to panic and adopt a wait and see attitude wrt the fence straddling Republicans.
      Yes.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        This reminds me of the time that you said Breitbart accurately reports the facts as a deceptive ruse to keep critics from accusing them of not accurately reporting the facts.

          So, Flake's "deal" to require an FBI background check was obviously just more stall tactics, because he's already saying...

          Jeff Flake: ‘We Can’t Have That on the Court’

          Sounds like time wasted, he's still a no.

          Speaking with Jeffrey Rosen, the president of the Constitution Center, and Democratic Senator Chris Coons at The Atlantic Festival on Tuesday morning, Flake called the judge’s interactions with lawmakers “sharp and partisan.”

          “We can’t have that on the Court,” said the Arizona senator, who didn’t elaborate on which interactions he was referring to.

          Flake’s “gentleman’s agreement” with Coons, from Delaware, led to the FBI reopening its investigation into Kavanaugh late last week. The bureau is examining the sexual-assault allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, who also testified on Thursday.


          Or maybe not?

          Kavanaugh’s nomination seemed poised to advance before Flake and Coons made a deal.

          I caught up with Flake briefly as he left the event, and asked if this meant he would not vote to confirm Kavanaugh, even if the FBI cleared him by week’s end. He appeared rattled, and his handlers rushed him into the stairwell. “I didn’t say that …” he stammered. “I wasn’t referring to him.”


          At this point, I suspect flakey Flake is desperately trying to figure out which option will tick off the least amount of voters.

              We’ll see if Senator Jellyfish has any spine soon enough.

                He's not running for re-election but he's always been someone that folks have pegged for being someone who needs to be liked by everyone all the time.

                            I knew a woman, who has since died, who was so traumatized by her abortion that she had a quiet birthday remembrance every year since. Most women still have a conscience about such things.

                              Don’t blame the women. Don’t presume to judge them. They have to be grown up and deal with a situation that men helped to create. Your piety is misplaced.
