If we're going to be honest

If we're going to be honest, I went to two high schools in the 60s. Western High in DC (later also known as Duke Ellington School of the Arts) and Annandale High in Annandale, VA. Home of the Atoms. Trust me when I tell you, pirates would envy the crap us kids did at either school.

There were always the dicks, times never change. But there were the 'cool kids', like the ones who put a jiffy john on the roof of the cafeteria to get a point across. (or maybe they were just drunk on their asses) either way, the people I knew would kick the asses of dicks that did the crap to girls Kavanaugh was alleged to have done. I use the term girls because that's what they were called during my high school years. Yes, we had nicknames for people, mine was Moose. Other's weren't as endearing and downright disgusting. Kids, especially drunk as*hole kids, can be the cruelest of cruel little bastards.

So, having been through all that in the 60s and hearing testimony that I deem very credible, I realize in astonishment not much has changed over the years, Ergo, I will have to go with a firm NO. Kavanaugh should not be appointed. In fact, they should probably remove this guy from the bench altogether. He was non responsive and evasive when asked direct question. His demeanor became aggressive, his utterances were politically bizarre and conspiratory. His actions and words do not reflect the traits of a person deserved of such an appointment.

Consequently, if they do appoint this man to the highest court of the United States, our system of justice will be considered politically compromised and no SCOTUS ruling going forward will carry weight or mean jack sh*t to anyone. You will have instigated more than just a confrontation of words with the people that elected you to office. You will have assaulted the integrity and neutrality of the courts. Without that integrity intact the courts will be seen as a political tool. This will signal the choice to be made. The demise of law, order and justice in America and a Government of no confidence? Or a remedy in which every vote to appoint Kavanaugh will result in an end to a political career and the public impeachment of a sitting SCOTUS Justice, followed by the impeachment of a President.
