re: #53 Blind Frog Belly White

I’ll link to it. It’s a reasonable read.

Wittes caught a lot of flak for defending Kavanaugh after his earlier hearing. His is a valid viewpoint, and he saw something different in Kavanaugh from what many of us saw. Plus, you know, Wittes is also a big friend of Comey, who has his own flaws.

This reads as heartfelt, and heartwrenching, and I think it’s a good take for any moderates or Conservatives who care more about the country than the GOP.

It was inevitable that Trump would nominate at least one Supreme Court Justice, that his nominees would be terrible for progressive causes, and that given the composition of the Senate that we’d be powerless to stop it. Kavanaugh is something different, and Wittes gets to the heart of that.

Thanks man. One of my reasonable conservative friends linked to it. She hates Trump but she’s definitely not crossing our way anytime soon. But you’re right. Kavanaugh would be something different. It’s almost why while I would oppose the nomination, I could kind of live with someone more ideologically conservative but more ethical and less partisan motivated than Kavanaugh. I don’t think Amy Barrett is that person tbh but there’s gotta be some conservative judge somewhere that fits that.
