  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

is there anything that can be said in the Senate Hearing today that will change your position, for or against, judge Lavanaugh?
I am absolutely convinced he is innocent of the charges, but his actions, demeanor, and responses today hold sway with me. I'm in the 'not yet convince' he is guilty side. He might convince me otherwise. I will have to watch and see.

I guess you don’t see the absolute contradiction in that statement...?

Really? Kinda almost like changing your mind might be contradictory to your current stance? Ya think?

I don't expect much from these hearings, the venue is not conducive to any real depth of examination. A "breather" from questioning every five minutes (on both sides) almost makes a mockery of what they claim they are seeking.

“I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED he is innocent”.

“I’m in the ‘not yet convince’ he is guilty side.”

Take you time with it. No need to rush.

He could say or do something that convinces me otherwise. BOOM... mind blown... such a difficult concept.

God, Laws of physics, death and taxes.

I will break it down 4 ya.

I am currently, absolutely convinced this is all a sham.

But I could be convinced otherwise by his actions, testimony, and demeanor at the hearing today.

I do not get why that is so difficult to understand.

Yes, something in these proceding could convinse me that did not do what she and others claim he did.

But these procedings are not addressing my main point of him lieing to congress. That in itself is enough to question his appointment and charactor. What is happing now is what has gotten through peoples thick heads.

For or against him being a sexual predator, yes. That can change today.

For or against him being a good choice for the Supreme Court? No.

Care to explain?
Ignoring the fact he's presented himself as an 'innocent choir boy' and it's coming out he's been a bit less than that in his day, at this point I feel there's too much that's been made about him. I think maybe moving on to a different pick might be the best course of action since he's become too controversial.

It's not that I have a problem with conservative judges being appointed as much as it is we don't need yet another person mired in controversy and scandals in command of our government.

So you want to believe he's innocent. Even though you have no clue. Just like most people. I'm sure if he was a Democrat. You would think hes guilty.
