Sometimes, there is a bit of SCOTUS action at the end of the week lately. In a fashion, there was. First, some prestigious legal award usually given to people who deserve it will be given to the team that got Kavanaugh confirmed.
Now, more evidence (added bonus: the NYT handling the reporting in a horrible fashion; the review of the book is too soft too) that he (seriously) shook his penis at some woman at a college party. If he wasn't a partisan lying troll, someone might actually be able to get around that though with so many alternatives, probably best not to nominate the replacement level justice even then. But, he went another way, the FBI had a sham investigation and the Republicans confirmed. It was putrid all around and it should be hung around their (including SCOTUS) necks for time immemorial.
Also: Guess I should toss out that Stolen Seat Guy is out bs-isg about civility, not being a "conservative," not making shit up like you know (liberals) etc. to promote his book.
ETA: Impressive impeaching him is this acceptable. For instance, the lead guy at Talking Points Memo blog realistically notes actual removal is very high of a bar, but takes as a given he clearly committed perjury. And, appears to find the calls of impeachment not pie in the sky. That's not nothing. Sanders' "he is a financial stooge/shouldn't have been nominated" line (see comments) is b.s. It benefits him by making him standard. (He later got around to the specific problems though soft pedaled it some.)
I myself think it important on principle and useful pragmatically as a political matter generally to keep the issues alive and the House just sought out more documents to help investigate him. I am somewhat surprised multiple candidates came out for his impeachment like this though guess Harris/Castro feel a need to go all out and Harris has already said she'd prosecute Trump himself. Warren didn't want to lag behind.
