But of course the Supreme Court has never been unbiased and has never had a political component .
Maybe so, pgs..........but signalling your political leanings loud and clear before you get there may not be in one's best interests.

The big story now is that Trump has constrained the FBI from investigating the 3rd accuser or basically anyone who has not already supported Kavanaugh's version of events.

Of course Trump claims this is not the case.

So obviously it is.

Your point being that we should not expect, hope for, or demand better?
Not at all , but it is a known fact that most Supreme Court Justices vote along party lines most of the time on political issues most of the time . Why is Democrat Justice Ginsburg hanging onto her seat on the court other than to wait for a Democratic President to nominate her replacement ? Politics maybe?

White House aide Kellyanne Conway: 'I'm a victim of sexual assault'

WASHINGTON — White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway said she was once a victim of sexual assault on Sunday, but said women’s shared outrage over such misconduct shouldn’t affect Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.
Conway made the comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” while defending Kavanaugh against sexual misconduct allegations. She argued that his opponents were wrongly politicizing his nomination and turning it into a “meeting of the #MeToo movement.” Conway said the news media and others often treat victims differently “based on their politics.”
“I feel very empathetic, frankly, for victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment and rape. I’m a victim of sexual assault,” Conway said. But she added: “I don’t expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or (Republican Sen.) Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that. You have to be responsible for your own conduct.”
Conway did not elaborate Sunday on her experience, though she’s previously alluded to her own #MeToo moment. She told a Politico forum last December that during the 2016 presidential campaign she sought to denounce cases of sexual harassment by congressmen against her and others when she was a GOP political operative, but was ignored by the press.
In that talk, Conway referred to an MSNBC appearance she made in October of 2016, a day after the release of an “Access Hollywood” tape that caught then presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2005 boasting off-camera about groping women. She implied in those comments that members of Congress had behaved inappropriately.
“I would talk to some of the members of Congress out there. I remember when I was younger and prettier, them rubbing up against girls sticking their tongues down women’s throats. It was true,” Conway said during a post-presidential debate interview.
Conway did not offer additional details Sunday.
Asked about how she deals with her experience with sexual assault while working for Trump, who’s been accused of sexual harassment, Conway said: “Don’t conflate that with this, and certainly don’t conflate that with what happened to me.”
She said her experience helps her understand that victims “should all be heard, and they should be heard in courts of law.”

About as accurate as most of your other "facts"

I do congratulate you for admitting an error.


Sonny, thanks for the congratulations.


But, my friend, I have shown you to be wrong over, and over, and over again.


You just won't admit it.

This is the Trump Era equivalent of "some of my best friends are black"

"It's a known fact" is just another way of saying "Everybody knows," which is just another way of saying "this is my unsupported opinion."

Anyone who believes a word that woman says has completely lost their grip of reality.


Just like she has.
