  1. Pretty much the way I see it. And that’s exactly why I think doing 60 minutes AND releasing the polygraph results now would be the move to make.
  2. If Dr. Ford is not going to be able/choose to testify, she should just release her polygraph results. Would not matter in a court of law, but let the GOP senators explain at town halls the nuance of the Daubert line of cases, scientific certainty, etc.
  3. Doesn’t the mistake of fact have to be objectively reasonable? I haven’t run into the issue, so I honestly do not know.
  4. Maybe, but to me, it is akin to leaving a child in the car (in the cases where a different parent takes them, etc.).
  5. I believe that the main concern was protecting the identity of the accuser.
  6. Things will play out exactly as you say, IMO. That fact does not mean that it is “fair”. Also, no need for an argument to carry the day. The GOP will be moving forward and confirming him, regardless of the accuser’s testimony (or lack there of). There is no debate that will take place. It’s over.
  7. Probably because state regulations in this realm are a fucking joke.
  8. So what? It isn’t hurting Beto either.
  9. How has the “ship sailed”? Is that some legal argument that you are making? It’s confusing because the senate can conduct its confirmations any way that it wants to.
  10. No shit. He is even parroting the ridiculous “FBI jurisdiction” bullshit. Idiot.
  11. BACKGROUND. CHECK.
  12. Just stop with the conclusory assertions that are demonstrably false. https://abovethelaw.com/2018/09/christine-blasey-ford-wants-the-same-thing-anita-hill-got-an-f-b-i-investigation-into-her-claims/ Hint: This would be related to the FBI’s function regarding performing background checks on appointees.
  13. They were giving out LOTS of free ones at the Cedar Park event a few weeks ago.
  14. Shane started as a true freshman. No redshirt year for him.
  15. My understanding is that you can use “oriental” to describe a rug, vase, massage parlor. What is frowned upon is using it to label people.
  16. Regarding the economic stuff, I am fairly confident that if/when the Fed. raises rates, Trump will go to war with them and start firing whoever he needs to to keep the YUGE growth numbers and DJIA trucking along.
  17. You should most definitely do that, and post the hilarity here.
  18. The Sausage Link FTW.
  19. It still blows my mind that people think UT paid for the jetpack guy. I don't even know how anyone gets near that assumption. Fuck him and Steve Patterson though. It just "grinds my gears" that people think UT paid jetpack guy $, so that Mighty Fine could use jetpack guy in a "commercial" before games.
  20. We would have been favored anyway. This is a matchup of two very flawed teams. Agreed. I guess the victory will just go to the team that doesn't try as hard as their opponent.
  21. Just wanted to add another similar reference to the OP. The n_____ version of “jerry rigging”.
