Ah, so this is yours! It amazes me how people in other countries follow American politics more closely than some of us living here. I LOVE this poem and that final line put it up at the top. A first-place win for you, Sunshine. Will be sending a Soup mail to you. (Love the photo too.) Hugs, Carolyn

Hello Dear Anne-Lise!! Sorry I missed this one. Yes, it is most appropriate. "Kavanaughty" is now finally in his Trump Clan Black Judicial Robe. Just like Trump in the presidency, "Kavanaughty" should have never been elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court. What a joke indeed!! I love this write of yours. And the attached picture is just perfect!! A FAVE TOO!! Cheers and Best, Gary

He did it!!!! And this is justice going through cosmetic surgery...and it's the most hideous outcome with proper care. He needs a lie detector test with his robe on so we can see a Judge become the prosecuted!!! The comment below ticked me off...it's that type of thinking that propels injustice into the safety net. Please forgive me, Anne Lise!!

You do not know that he lied Anne - no one does. It looks more like she did.

- There is nothing written that he lies in my poem, Craig - But, it was nice you would visit my poem for the first time since 2011 - ( "She" had nothing to win with a lie - he had a lot to win ... and he "won ") - ... hurray for justice !!! - Anne-Lise

It is a shame that this man has to even be mentioned, to only hear his name gives him glory... May he be impeached for the lies his proclaim and the women get the respect they deserve. My poem , "Screams No One Can Hear" was about him and Frump the Dump.. May God forgive me for how I feel about these to men..

Fact: only assoc. justice to have all female clerks. Fact; Elana Kagen ( Obama SCOTUS nominee) first female dean of Harvard Law School, recruited him personally to teach at Harvard. What happened to rule of law, innocent until proven guilty? Sorry to disagree...

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/9/2018 12:03:00 PM

- Yes, you're right "innocent until proven guilty", Charlie ... but everything can change with power and money - thank you for your opinion ... we must not always agree :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Sometimes I think there are people still living in the 1940's or even as far back as 1800's. With all that women have been through, there are still those self-limiting minds that refuse to grow. Well penned.

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/9/2018 12:06:00 PM

- Yes, far back as 1800's at least M.L. :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

The worst for me is, now that he has shown his true colors, that he is partisan biased, I believe that his decisions will be. I agree with you totally, women are still even in 2018, not treated equally.

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/8/2018 1:43:00 PM

- Yes Mike, he has shown his color .... and it's not pretty - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

What a corrupt and evil world we live in Sunshine, if you have money and power and a bunch of friends you can get away with murder. You see and hear about this all the time. Tom.

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/8/2018 12:36:00 PM

- Yes you are right ,Tom - But important to have "the right friends" ... I have no such friends ... and no money either :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I disagree but we are all entitled to our own opinion. It would really be scary if we could look back and see what everyone of these people, Presidents, senators, congress people and Supreme Court judges did while they were in high school and college. I k now I would be pretty embarrassed if it were me. But I guess they all figure if someone like Bill Clinton can get away with rape(3 times), then so can every one else. It is sad.

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/9/2018 12:23:00 PM

- Agree :)

Chris Green
Date: 10/8/2018 3:01:00 PM

Ok, I understand that. I just don't know what he lied about, but it's ok my friend. Like I said, we are all entitled to our own opinion.

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/8/2018 11:27:00 AM

- For me it's not about what he did for many years back, Chris ... but, to lie under oath - One need not be a psychologist to understand that the man is hiding the truth :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Hi Anne-Lise, what a world we do live in, if you have the money and the power you can do anything and still be elevated in status. What are we coming too. It can get scary the way things are actually going. Your write hits home Anne-Lise. Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 10/8/2018 11:29:00 AM

- Yes, everything is about power and money Mike ... no matter what - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

His attack on senators of opposite party was beneath the post he was just elevated to. Women are majority in America..you are right Anne--Lise, they don't have a proportionate voice yet.

This is a very sad moment in history, however a President who boasts of abusing women cause of his money and power, I guess is no surprise he appoints another abuser. I can only say I am seeing so many people stand up and speak out that normally avoid politics and this is good, we need at times to take stands, this is a dark time indeed. Thank you

- A dirty and rotten game, Arthur - I usually avoid politics, but this scares me - Shall we hide the truth, for money and power (?) - // Anne-Lise :)
