becoming cautiously optimistic right about now.

But, sadly, optimistic I'm not. Not cautiously or otherwise. The pigs will ram their fellow pig down our throats.

I hope I'm wrong. Nothing would make me happier than to be proven wrong.

have been on a roller coaster the past two years, so I'm prepared to be disappointed or even outraged yet again. But at least for today, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

If life ever becomes normal again, I'm not sure we'll be able to adjust, though I'd like to try.

Thanks for posting this, dixiegrrrrl.

That letter makes compelling arguments even without considering signatures and the Yale press release that seems to have spurred these folks to action. Anyone not quite up to speed on why Kavanaugh should not be confirmed can use that letter as Cliff's Notes.

Time to make an emergency call to the Senate:

Thank you to all these signatories! They are true patriots.

And still end up an idiot?

being a legacy (parent/grandparent/uncle graduated from Yale) played a bigger role than it does today. Both W's father George HW Bush, and his grandfather Prescott Bush, graduated from Yale. His family being wealthy is also a help as well. (I had heard that W was rejected by the University of Texas in Austin before enrolling at Yale. UT-Austin is a very good school, but it's not a top 5/10 school like Yale. However, I don't know if the UT rejection story is true?)

Being the son and grandson of wealthy and well known alums can still play a role at many colleges, but I don't think it's quite as important as before.

Back then, Bush was also able to skate by with what was called the Gentleman's C - he could screw up royally in class and/or rarely attend, but because he is the son of wealthy alums (a gentleman), they would still give him a C. (It's not just Bush - supposedly, FDR was similar back in college as well over 100 years ago) That practice is not really around anymore, AFAIK.

and idiot and this still fits.

you can be intelligent in some areas and a fucking moron in others.

My brother in law a doctor and very orthodox Jew, reminds me of Carson. Smart about medicine but really dumb about people. See, in a capitalist society, compassion and sympathy are a fault.

funny how a good education can inform the worst instincts.

The date on this document is dated July 10 and final update is July 18th of this year.
Why is this just now coming to light or have I just missed it?

I guess, as Chairman he could with hold the info, just like McConnell did when President Obama informed him of Russian interference.

Finally, after 2 years the truth of the corruption of the Administration and Republican Congress is exploding like a pus filled boil.

sovereignty and equality of all individuals, and with them the freedom and wellbeing of all. Of course some are in more immediate danger of targeted oppression, a grave concern, but in calling out danger they need to make clear: the anti-democratic, authoritarian threat he is part of is to all Americans.
