U.S.—Democratic leaders consoled themselves from their failure to stop Brett Kavanaugh from assuming a seat on the Supreme Court Monday by reminding the nation that although they lost the SCOTUS seat, they were able to keep their dignity.

As liberal protesters banged on the doors of the Supreme Court and attempted to claw them open, Senate Democrats calmed their constituents by pointing out that they were able to be the bigger person in all this.

"At very least, we didn't drag our political process to new depths and make ourselves look like petulant children," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "It's important you don't lose the high ground in your quest for political clout. We could have tried to utterly destroy a man's life and turn to increasingly transparent obstruction tactics, but we didn't. We could have screamed and cried when it looked like things weren't going to go our way, but we didn't. We stayed out of all the muck and showed ourselves to be the mature ones."

"Surely this will endear swing voters to us in the upcoming midterms," he added hopefully

To be fair, you're absolutely right - it wasn't just an argument from incredulity. The argument from incredulity was applied in the service of an ad hom.

Multiple people tell stories of his dick waggling, drinking and attempted rape.
a. So what about drinking?
b. No, multiple people have not told stories about dick waggling - one person told a story, and said outright she herself was not sure it was Kavanaugh (Ramirez).
c. Ford's story changed in several material ways, and she doesn't remember it, and nobody else alleged attempted rape at all.

Senate: none of it happened because we need to approve a judge before the November election.
None of it happened because there isn't a shred of evidence that any of it happened, and each of the story tellers tell internally inconsistent stories with multiple versions and stated inability to remember.

Look at Swetnick - her story turned out to be "I saw Kavanaugh at parties standing around, getting handsy with girls, and holding plastic cups near the a punch bowl." That's where it wound up in her TV interview, walked back from "I went to 10 parties in a row where I saw firsthand the felony distribution of controlled substances to unsuspecting teen girls for the purpose of gang rape (and I said nothing about it) and Kavanaugh was an active participant..."

The only reason any of that was offered was to derail a qualified Supreme Court candidate on partisan grounds.

That's not "false." Remember, it wasn't a criminal trial, so we can use whatever standard we want in determining if he committed the offense claimed....which necessarily means we can use whatever standard we want in determining if he didn't commit the offense claimed.

The Guardian's view - it would be fine to determine that he did it, because it's just a job interview. But, it would not be fine (it would be a lie) to determine that he did not do it, in that same job interview. Left logic.

As soon as he started a session by accusing Democrats of ruining his life he disqualified himself on partiality grounds, in my view. The alignment of rhetoric with the GOP doesn't help his claim to neutrality either.

Can you imagine if they had cameras during the reformation? God, the poor protestants (I know, they were monsters. :roll: Don't hate I'm making another point you leftist wankers) wouldn't have stood a chance! They were all morons. But this is how we debate today, you gather your idiots and I'll gather mine ... blah, blah, blah.

Tero 2016 to 2018 - when the FBI investigates Trump, they're honest, upright and nonpartisan...

Tero 2016 to 2018 - when FBI investigates Hillary it's all made up about "her damn emails" and when they investigate Kavanaugh they're shills for Trump.

While it seems there is now no reasonable grounds or legitimately basis on which to object to or oppose a Supreme Court nominee (how very dare they!), none of that really touches on the point that Mr Kavanaugh was/is partisan and clearly aligned with the GOP - well, other than to justify it of course.

To me, it looks like anyone in the US who doesn't celebrate - loudly - their democratic party alliance, is seen as a 'Trumpanzee'.

Of course, no-one here would be that biased, but the normal citizens look that way from here.

I'm a lifelong independent, but nobody's called me a "Trumpanzee." I googled it, and it looks like it's a thing though.
