If you want to go there, I'm equally biased against Dems and republicans so I'm overall neutral in that stance. My bias is different from your party bickering, my bias is against your war loving government. The biases are completely different. I don't hate your people and the supreme court is mostly for your people. So again I say, I wouldn't want the guy to be my supreme court justice. And looking from the outside, I can say no one doubted that he'd be confirmed

Bias is bias, and by your own words, you're so biased as to get yourself banned.  Your worldview colors your opinion and renders them less interesting and insightful.

Your belief that "no one doubted" is simply your own bias at work.  You can find plenty of people on this forum, myself included, who questioned whether he would make it onto the court.  In the end, he essentially got in on a tied vote (one Democrat, Manchin, was going to vote for whichever side won).  If Collins (pro-choice) or Flake (anti-Trump) had peeled off that would have been the end of the nomination.

That's France an incorrect assessment. Bias is not bias. You might be biased on whether you like pizza or burgers better but that does not mean you're biased on the elections in Italy. I reject that simplistic world view of "I hate the US military and I have a bias against them" is equal to " I am biased about a supreme court justice pick in US". That makes absolutely zero sense and is a very false equivalence. You have the correct observation but a very wrong conclusion. My bias against the US military is just that, you can't extrapolate it to mean anything else. And I was exxagerating when I talked about everyone but I was talking about outside the US. So of course republicans are mostly going to say his nomination was in jeopardy. Anyone who has no bias in favour of one party compared to the other is the people I am referring to. And as I said I have no bias towards the people of the US or more accurately an equal amount of bias for all of them if you think that you have to have a bias for everyone and everything. Hence I again insinuate the point that I wouldn't want Brett to be my supreme court justice as I feel he won't be a very good one



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
