        Dear Arnold Porter, Firstly, could you explain to Lisa Blatt that she is neither a feminist, nor a liberal. Secondly, I would have assumed that supporting such blatant oscula asino was beneath you. Even so, as officers of the court shouldn’t you at least support a full review?

        Being a “leading SCOTUS lawyer” is not an argument for taking her seriously but precisely the opposite

        Seems like Blatt likes Kavanaugh because he flattered her.. oh a she works for a pro big-business law firm.

        Well, good to know people can throw around #doglatin and #limericks as classier forms of rudeness. I appreciate the varying point of views, David, so I can make up my own #mind.

        ...in which we learn that @ArnoldPorter is preparing cases it thinks might get to #SCOTUS. If this happened in a tropical country whose primary export was fruit, we'd all be talking about how that society wasn't quite a mature democracy yet and voting to keep it out of NATO.

        When someone starts their summation with a clear fallacy it makes one hesitant to rely on the remaining claims. Credibility kinda matters and her focus is Lisa Platt not what’s good or right in regards to the #SCOTUSpick

        I think that “Kavanaugh” is definitely “the issue.” Seeing as he’s the nominee. What does that even mean!?

        Do not understand the claim that “record“ is the issue. It is precisely as record that is the issue for most of us. There’s no doubt he has the intellectual qualifications, but much doubt that is the pinons will be anythingBut retrogressive.
