Disappointed in HCBS? Rubbish.
@HighEliteMajor you should be disappointed in yourself. And so do all KU fans for that matter.
What is HCBS supposed to do?
So what if HCBS played it straight and by the rules(not saying he did anything wrong)(but what if he did). He refused to get in the mud with Duke, Kentucky, and UNC for the top recruits? Thereby losing more games and flopping even more in the tournament You @HighEliteMajor would be leading the charge to get rid of him. Yet you expect a coach of KU to compete at the highest levels without cheating when all the others are doing it. Sadly KU fans as a whole feel the same way as you @HighEliteMajor. They want all this greatness but by following the rules. Yet all the other major top basketball schools are cheating. Sadly when that coach fails to keep KU basketball at the top of the heap you all will be calling for their head.
The problem is the system. End of discussion.

@DoubleDD Oh I do think he did what he is accused of. And i think the investigation was artificially restricted. But thats not why I think he should be disqualified. I think the bar is even higher than "not having committed sexual assault" as to whether someone should be a justice on the highest court in the Judicial branch. Things like "not a partisan hack" and "not a belligerent d--k" and "not a liar" are the kinds of things I'm looking for.

We are so quick to judge the accused but we don't even look at the accuser?

@DoubleDD I believe he should have been disqualified based upon temperament, partisanship, and lying about being of drinking age when he wasn't and attempting to downplay the extent of his drinking. I stated so. But again you demonstrate that you don't care what I individually think, you've lumped me into a group you can program your counterpoint against (see my link a few posts up).
I wish I could believe you. I really do. Yet you keep speaking of him as guilty. Even though evidence shows it's not so. If you want to move the goal posts I'm cool, but I'm totally against ruining a persons life over one persons testimony. A testimony that even the accusers best friend won't even confirm, and even denies. Please make me believe.

@justanotherfan exactly. There is no objectivity. I find this deeply depressing. Plenty of half baked nonsense masquerading as fact, or even rational opinion. Where are the rational conservatives? The ones that say what Justice Stevens said about Kavanaugh? Why cant I find more of that in real life?
Objectivity? You have no evidence yet you presume our new supreme justice is guilty? Really?
Of course I did just trying to give you cats the benefit of the doubt. As I like the shit out of you guys.
Maybe I'm just getting old, or maybe I just don't know history? Yet who is really the bad guy here? Who is really for free speech?
Ok lets ask some questions here?
Who has safe places in colleges throught out the land?
Not consertivates. No those safe places are for Libs.
Who is banned from speaking at colleges through out the land? Um persons with conservative views? Never heard of a Liberal being banned from speaking.
Who breaks out windows and destorys private property in the name of their beliefs? Liberals.
Who loads up backpacks with batteries, mase and dresses up as ninja's? Yet are considered as peace loving, free speech persons? Doesn't matter that they show up at rally's that differ from their beliefs? Liberals.
Who accuses a person with no evidence and screams bloody murder. Liberals.
Who gets attacked and accusted at restaurants? Not liberals.
Who's leadership preaches of getting up in the face of those that don't agree with them? Liberals.
Who accuses conseratives of racism, sexism, and homophobia and yet it's they constantly put persons in groups like women, blacks, immgrants and men? Liberals.
You true liberals need to wake up. Your problem isn't the conservatives or Rep party. It's your leadership and the huge media outlets you control.
Quit bitching and get some new leadership.
Don't Worry Marco
@approxinfinity feels that you judge a person with no evidence. It doesn't matter. As long as you accuse. that is all that matters.
It doesn't matter that if all the people even the best friend of the accuser denied of any preparty meeting. It doesn't matter that the second lady that claimed a rape changed her story on media, and that the ones she claimed were there. One is dead and another denied even knowing the accuser.
It doesn't matter. All that matter is that you accuse.
Its the new Lib justice. Well until it's one of their own. Then they'll be singing a different tune. Look at Booker a Dem he admitted to sexual abuse. Yet he gets to judge others. Crazy.

@approxinfinity you're wasting your breath, if God came down and told Dble d the facts, he still wouldn't see them.
And what facts are those Crimson?
More of an opinion thought here. I wander if Grassly wouldn't have stolen the Garland pick if things wouldn't be so hostile on the Kavanaugh. pick. Just a thought.
Sometimes in life you reap what you sow.
To each it's own. If you want to punish a person without any evidence and solely of the mere testimony of one person. Then that is your prerogative.
Its a good question you ask. Can't say I really know. Though I can say contrary to popular belief by many among here. That Kavanaugh was more than qualified to be a supreme court justice. His judicial record is quite good, and is respected by many of his profession from both sides of the aisle.
My guess is the timing of the nominee and the political perception that would follow. Remember the Ford allegations didn't break until he was about to be confirmed. With midterms coming not sure the Reps wanted to take the chance of starting over with a new nominee. As they were fearful of losing control of the House and the Senate. Making it impossible for a Trump nominee from ever making it to the Supreme Court.

@DoubleDD don’t forget he threw ice at someone !!
Yea all common sense goes out the window with these guys. But they are great KU basketball fans.
Funny thing he admitted under oath that he drank to much at times as a teenager. Yet somehow he lied? Just another claim without any evidence. I guess.
Lets face it the Dem party and Libs were never going to be happy with the Kavanaugh confirmation. It was just going to be one endless investigation after another.
At some point you just have to say enough is enough.
Have a good day.
Ok I get it you guys think he drank to much beer in college. Got it.
I see you avoided my question on Bill Clinton? lol
You'll have a good day now.
Hey if you don't like the guy that's fine. Yet to submarine this person as a child molester and rapist when there is no evidence. That's just wrong.
He said, She said is fraught with endless allegations.
Actually I think that Ford was a victim too. All of sudden her story pops out just as Kavanaugh was about to be confirmed. Um interesting. Especially since Feinstien had been sitting on this accusation for how long?
approxinfinity said:
@DoubleDD I will take three women's allegations of sexual assault seriously even if it's a candidate selected by a Democratic president, yes. I will take lying under oath seriously, yes. I will take blatant partisan rhetoric being shouted at the Senate like an angry partisan hack seriously, yes. Come on man.
Then where was you and the Dem party when Bill Clinton was having sex in with midterms in the oval office?
approxinfinity said:
Republican politicians and going to work the angles on what they are doing all the way to a confirmation, so their constituents can sleep at night. The whole thing is a farce. This is not how you select a Supreme Court Justice.
The Republicans has given into every demand the Dem party and Ford wanted.
Good God man Kanvanaugh has been vetted by the FBI 6 times, not including the latest investigation.
Why can't you just see that this was just an attempt to keep the seat open until after the mid terms.
Oh it appears the Republican base has awoken because the Kavanaugh mistreatment. So much for the big blue wave.
I'm not sure why? How much Kavanaugh drank as a teenager has anything to do with him being a supreme court Justice?
Are you guys going to be this hard when the Dem party has a pick for the supreme court? Yea I didn't think so.
Or is this all smoke and mirrors. Just trying to hold the seat open till after the midterms?
That's your cold hard evidence? First one big flaw in this piece. A true friend would never do that to another friend. Never.
You'll have to excuse me if I chuckle when you bring up law professors. You haven't figured out what everybody else knows that the education system at all levels has been high jacked by the Liberal ideology. And good God man, he's sitting there watching is life's work being destroyed by a unverified accusation. Even a poster in KU Buckets called him a child molester. I would get upset too.
No I would rather take the word from those that have worked with Judge Kavanaugh. People that have actually been around the man. Which appears to be 1000s and 1000s of women from his past and that worked with him through out his career. All agreeing that Kavanaugh was a great guy and person. So much they all signed a letter.
This is and was a smear campaign. The Dem party was going to do anything to keep the that seat open until after the midterms. Even if it meant destroying a mans life.
Oh I see you watch Racheal Maddow? Yea I watch her every once in awhile. A bit to hard care left me.
First let me say glad to see you survived. Excellent.
Hope the Hurricane didn't do to much damage to your life and belongings.
True a testimony is considered evidence, but it does not mean that is a fact. Many people as I'm sure you know have lied under oath. Sadly Ford's testimony can't be denied nor confirmed, because it so lacking of any hard evidence. In fact the so called witness she claims were there deny any connection to this get together. Even her best friend at this time denies and has no relocation of such a party let alone the incident the Ford claims took place.
No this isn't a criminal trial. Yet these unproven accusations can and probably already have ruined Judge Kavanaugh's life.
This theory that just because she came forward she must be believed is flawed in everyway. You know it and so do I.
Also Kavanaugh has been more vetted than any other Supreme Court justice in the history of the court by a landslide. All this is a delay to get to the midterms.
Also this concept of just pick another judge is the devil in the details. As there wouldn't be enough time before the midterms to carry out the process of another nominee. Meaning the House and the Senate can have a whole new look by the time they get back around to the filling the spot on the Supreme Court thereby changing the process.
Maybe some would say it's not about politics. Yet as with the case with Kavanaugh you had Dems on record saying they would not vote for him even before the Hearings started. So to say hey just pick another nominee isn't being quite truthful. As we both know a house and Senate ran by Dems will never allow any of Trumps picks to be voted to the supreme court.
It wouldn't matter how qualified they were.
Oh yea I forgot the lady that said Kavanaugh pulled out his junk and waved it around. At this point anybody could say anything and some would believe it doesn't matter if there is any proof.
This is how the Salem witch trials got started.
Look I get you don't like the guy, but there is no evidence he has done any of these things. Ask yourself if he was a womanizer. Why did so many woman from his past come out to defend him? Why did so many woman that he has worked with in his professional, and adult life come out to defend him? What he just flipped a switch? Went from rapist to the guy on welcome to my neighborhood?
You're ready to crucify this guy because a memory that was brought up through hypnosis. Remember the people identified as being as this get together have all denied or have no memory of such a get together.
Ah I'm just wasting my time. You don't care about justice. You just want to see this guy go down. Doesn't matter how.
Have a good day.
The issue here isn't a politic one. It's much bigger than that. A man's life is being destroyed by accusations that a woman has made, without any real burden of proof. It makes no sense. So now if any woman comes forth and accuses any man of wrong doing she is to presumed telling the truth? Is this the new standard? Is this the kind of justice we want? Is this the kind of society some have been talking about and longing for?
Bottom line there is no evidence any of this took place. None. Yet we are condemning and judging him guilty. If this was a criminal trial no judge or lawyer would continue with such a lack of real hard evidence.
Be careful what you ask for. One day it could be you or your sons that are being accused my some woman from the past of wrong doing without any real evidence.

Kavanaugh has a track record that is pretty impressive. There is a saying That a person shall bear the their fruit. How can Kavanaugh be such a serial rapist for a couple years. Yet spend the rest of his life being a champion for women's rights? Doesn't add up.
Did Bill Cosby add up?
Yet in the Bill Cosby situation. It was over a long period of time. Not just a year or two stint.
The thing about Bill Cosby the evidence was quite clear. Again are we to presume someone guilty without any real evidence other that the memory conjured up through hypnosis.
Well I appreciate the effort but most of this is opinion stuff. One persons word versus another.

Thing is we are dealing with something that happened almost 40 years ago. Not many will remember or even care. Already those that have been indentified as being there. Don't have any memory of such pre party get together.
Come on you know the FBI is going to do their thing, and produce the same things we already know.
Yea if you can't have a civil take on the topic maybe you should just not post?
I think your post is a little over the edge and uncalled for.
If you don't like him that is one thing. But are willing to accept the demise of a person of a claim with no evidence?
wow
Do I think politics are involved? Yea I do. For one reason. Why did Feinstein sit on this accusation for so long? Why did she wait? If she didn't leak the story then who did? and why right when the vote was about to come down for Kavanaugh? coincidence? Umm Ok?
No you're right this isn't a criminal trial, but these accusations can, and have most likely already have. Will ruin his life. Keep in mind with no evidence. Should his life be ruined by a woman that can't remember where or when, and only supposably remembers under hypnosis. Which is not accepted as legit evidence in a lot courts across the land and states. Even liberal States like New York don't accept hypnosis as legit evidence.
You know I'm a bit taken back by your ascertains. Are you not the one that always has a open mind? Aren't you the one that always calls for the proof and facts?
You're the reason why when I post a opinion piece. I let everybody know it's a opinion piece. What gives? Why are you so ready to accept Kavanaugh as guilty without any evidence? Would you feel the same if Kavanaugh was a liberal judge?
Yet no evidence. Yea you know.
The problem with this FBI investigation is it doesn't reach a conclusion, or should say it's not supposed to. It is merely a fact finding investigation. The real problem is that a woman can come forth after 36 years later saying something happened to her. Yet she can't remember where or when. Not to mention the persons she mentioned being at this supposed event all deny or don't have any memory of such occasion.. Meaning the person that is accused can't even defend himself. Thereby creating a her world against his. Not really fair. Especially in this me too movement. You make not like this nominee for what ever reason, but the truth is he being treated quite unfairly. Also lets not forget Judge Kavanaugh has already been investigated by the FBI six times, and the FBI signed off on him every time.
Is this going to be the standard for all nomiee's from here on out? Do we expect our Supreme Court Justices to walk on water, raise the dead, and heal the sick? This isn't the Republicans messing up. As Judge Kavanaugh is more than qualified to be a supreme court Justice. As he is respected by many judges of his elk. Lib and Conservative. He has a long proven history of being a champion for woman's rights. No this is the Dems doing anything even destroying a good person. trying to keep the seat open tell they can get into power.
If you can't see the logic in this. I just hope your children don't ever have to face a similar situation. To be accused by someone with no facts, yet be found guilty with no real chance of defending themselves.
Sad days indeed.
Everything I've read shows Texas wanting into the ACC. They want a Norte Dame type Deal.
This is a joke right?
He does have talent. No doubt. I also thought he should have been a running back. Seriously look at his build and that thick neck he has. Dude has stud running back written all over him.
I have some friends that are big time 49ers fans. They were completely pissed when Kap was promoted over Alex Smith. I mean they were mad.
Kcmatt7 said:
@justanotherfan I can absolutely agree that Kap should be in the NFL. Making probably $6-7M a season.
Please how? He's nothing but a backup. Yet he's going to create all the turmoil like he's some stud? Really?
If you were running a NFL team a business would you want a backup QB causing all these problems. Remember some people think you shouldn't blame the flag for your problems.
You're assuming. You don't know what Kap will do with the money. Yet your posting as if it is a fact. Also as someone that watches Football. Kap's football career was over long before he started this kneeling to the American flag. He had lost his starting job and was nothing but a backup QB. It wasn't much of a sacrifice on his part. His NFL career was pretty much a bust.
Ill give you the fact that President Obama is a great orator. Maybe the best since Kennedy. Reagan was good but he was a witty speaker. Kind of down to earth. Yet if you have a opinion, then so do I.
Also lets be honest? Giving a good speech is one thing, but actually doing what is right is a whole different thing.
Its why I don't draft Aaron Rodgers in fantasy football. Every year it's the same thing. The Packers wont spend the money to protect him. Too risky.
Well to be honest I'm just excited about KU basket this year, but hey I'm a KU homer.
Yet another year with Doka and De Sousa with the studs that are coming this year. Holy Cow as Harry Carey used to say.
I don't know De Sousa went from not knowing much to playing with the best in a shorten season. If he does indeed get to play this year. Then damn I'm quite excited.
I love Mahomes arm, but man Tryeek is fast as they come. Just crazy fast.
You don't get it do you? Roe versus Wade is never going away. The supreme court could be stacked with the far rightest judges that you can find and it's still not going away.
It's just like Gun rights they're not going away. Doesn't matter how many far leaning leftist you can find Gun Rights aren't going away.
These issues are used by both the left and the Right to rally their bases. Ever Notice with every election the Dems and the Reps bring out these issues. Like somehow this is the election that will change everything. Yet it never changes.
Its really sad.
