Significant development --

3 Senate Dems say they have new evidence SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh was not truthful under oath in 2006 confirmation.

This is the kind of thing that would be the end of the road in the Senate for many nominees to even minor jobs. But for SCOTUS?

...Rehnquist. Scalia. Thomas, naturally. All of them. They lie and lie, and laugh about it in private. They don't care. Speaking the truth is for suckers--and, of course, Democrats. I wish just *one* Dem senator had boycotted the Clinton "impeachment", on the grounds that he/she would simply refuse to take any oath administered by William Rehnquist on account of his blatant perjury. It wouldn't have mattered in the end, and one member of the Senate would show a little profile in courage. Of course, it never happened...

Note to all earthlings: republicons are the best liars on our planet.
