    little over 8 months. to the election that is. Ask Biden, it was his rule. I guess more of a political standard.
    Between Scalia's death (Feb 2016) and Gorsuch's actual confirmation (April 2017) it was close to 14 months. I said the seat sat vacant for about 14 months which is accurate. Between when Scalia died and Obama left office was a few weeks shy of a full year.

    And yeah, Biden Rule. Which was never an actual rule. Nor was it ever actually implemented by Biden or the Democrats. There was no Supreme Court fight in the summer of 1992. Mitch McConnell was the first to use it. It was a hack political ploy then, and it's a hack political ploy now.

    • It's incredibly foolish or nakedly, harmfully partisan to pretend that both sides haven't contributed to the savage attack on norms and decency the democratic process in the US requires. If we want to talk about proportionality, and do it in a rigorous way that accounts for how often and how much and how egregious, well, I'm all for it. Let's do the math.

                • Over the past few months Big Tech has gone on a massive Conservative censorship spree. Amazon is banning books (LOL the "anti-Nazis" are literally banning books). Google is shutting down Conservative youtube channels and manipulating searches. Twitter is banning anyone guilty of wrongthink. Apple is removing apps from its store. Patreon has removed Thought Criminals from its platform and even credit card companies are now refusing to honor payments made to wrongthinkers.

                  The Left has to censor. They tried to censor Rush Limbaugh via the "Fairness Doctrine". They have been censoring speech at public universities for decades, and now they are censoring the opposition in the digital marketplace. When censorship doesn't work then they turn to violence with hate groups like Antifa.

                  Liberals have openly expressed their desire to criminalize wrongthink. Don't any of you think for a fucking second that they can't succeed here eventually. They already have in Europe and it has claimed more than a few victims.

When it comes to the power of a decades old, unverified rape accusation to destroy somebody, it doesn't get more extreme than this. We are now at the point where what you (allegedly) did in high school is fair game for your character check. At this point even Cuckservative Republicans and beta male feminists are probably realizing how easily this cannon can be turned on them.
                    Isn't Kavanaugh the guy who spent two years re-investigating the Clintons to prove they had Foster murdered? His conduct during the Starr investigation was awful.

                        The Trumpian Right is talking about punishing Facebook. Google, Twitter, etc. for being "biased" against conservative voices either through endless 'investigations' or by breaking up the companies and mandating that they give both sides equal access. You're all for socialism and Big Government if it benefits Trump and his side of the culture war.

                        • Talent- If you get bored, interesting decision by the Ohio Supreme Court today that is sending ripples through my industry. Won't be affected personally but this will probably dramatically change the way most O&G companies do landwork in Ohio. It's also quite different than the industry standard around the country.

                              The only one of those three that's remotely close to a monopoly is Google. There are dozens of social media alternatives, including those that have been set up by the Alt Right like Gab. The First Amendment obviously doesn't obligate Facebook or Twitter to act as your publisher; nor do you have a inalienable right to have your thoughts disseminated to the widest audience possible.

                                You are laughing your ass off at the concept that boys shouldn't sexually abuse girls? I would assume not. You're a sane person, and presumably not a monster.
