You know, I don't normally pay attention to politics anymore. Honestly, being an ancap, I really don't have a horse in the game. I couldn't care less what party is in power, as long as they all leave me alone. Nor do I really care if Brett Kavanaugh gets the seat on the Supreme Court.

That said, it's history in the making so I was compelled to tune in to the hearings. Here are my thoughts, whatever they are worth to you:

1: What a s#*tshow. All the Republicans want to do is jabber on about how bad the Democrats are. All the Democrats want to do is ask the nominee a bunch of gotcha questions which have little to do with determining the validity of the accusations against him.

2:Judging by the media and social media mudslinging, due process is not really a thing any more in this country. If you're a conservative, he's not guilty and she's a terrible monster. If you're a liberal, he's a monster and she's a poor victim of literally the whole of society. No one really wants to go through the process of comparing allegations to witness accounts or evidence, we just go ahead and assume guilt one way or the other based on whether it fits our politics.

3:Personally, I'm going to agree with Kavanaugh on this: she was assaulted at some time in her life. Given the lack of witnesses or evidence against him, and given the positive statements about him and other evidence in his favor I don't believe we can definitively say it was him who committed the assault.

4: If I have to make a call, I'm going to say the committee rules that the Senate vote proceed. And I'd bet he gets the seat. Mostly because of the slant of current politics though. If the Democrats had a complete majority in the Senate, he wouldn't get the seat.

But then again, like I said, I don't pay that much attention. I could be completely wrong about how this will turn out.

But the circus sure is fascinating.
