I've only seen the NBC reports and people talking about the NBC report. The critical part is that Kavanaugh swore that he hadn't heard about the Ramirez allegations until September 23 and, yet, the texts seem to show that he was preparing a defense to those allegations in July.

"The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirez’s story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh's team and former classmates in advance of the story.
. . .
In a series of texts before the publication of the New Yorker story, Yarasavage wrote that she had been in contact with “Brett's guy,” and also with “Brett,” who wanted her to go on the record to refute Ramirez. According to Berchem, Yarasavage also told her friend that she turned over a copy of the wedding party photo to Kavanaugh, writing in a text: “I had to send it to Brett’s team too.”
. . .
Further, the texts show Kavanaugh may need to be questioned about how far back he anticipated that Ramirez would air allegations against him. Berchem says in her memo that Kavanaugh “and/or” his friends “may have initiated an anticipatory narrative” as early as July to “conceal or discredit” Ramirez.

Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee under oath that the first time he heard of Ramirez’s allegation was in the Sept. 23 article in The New Yorker."

Exactly! It's over. I can't believe the words out of Flake's mouth. They have plenty of perjury and temperament issues. Flake said himself, if he lies the nomination is over. Flake has to keep his word. The world is watching.

Its over FOR HIM (Flake.) We still need Collins or Murkowski, and NOT to lose Manchin or Heitkamp.

I thought what he was saying was that the no.inaction would be withdrawn and there would be no vote. I thought if perjury was proven its automatically disqualifying and they could not give him the vote.

*nomination

You are so sweetly naive. If McConnell has the votes (50+ Pence), he can do whatever the EFF he wants.

So, isn't the revelation says he perjured? How many small lies under oath equates to one GOP perjury?

But there's that weasel word "BASICALLY"

The standard for honesty under oath by a federal judge who is trying to be elevated to the Supreme Court should be a little stricter than chargeable perjury.

Let's look at the Code of Conduct for US Judges

An appearance of impropriety occurs when reasonable minds, with knowledge of all the relevant circumstances disclosed by a reasonable inquiry, would conclude that the judge’s honesty, integrity, impartiality, temperament, or fitness to serve as a judge is impaired. Public confidence in the judiciary is eroded by irresponsible or improper conduct by judges. A judge must avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety. This prohibition applies to both professional and personal conduct. A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny and accept freely and willingly restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen.

Wow. He fails this on so many levels.

This is very interesting. Makes sense.

Obviously McConnell doesn't have the votes.

The news cycle moves quickly. Ford was yesterday. Now we're talking about Ramirez.

False. We were talking about Ramirez too, last week.

We are talking about the NEW allegations related to Ramirez. That he LIED HIS ASS OFF and tried to get his friends to say he didn't do it. NOT that they don't remember it, but that he didn't do it.

And then lying about remembering she was at the wedding.

I have read both transcripts. His testimony was precise.

There is proof now that it was filled with precise lies. Are you not keeping up????
Read this that outlines the new allegations. https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1046915870675619841

He may not be teaching at Harvard next semester but he still has a day job.

Rejected by Harvard. Don't they know HE WENT TO YALE! Of all the nerve! I don't think he's going to have his other day job. He is damaged goods.

in principle, the same allegations that could keep him off the court could cause him to be removed from his current position.

Many HLS alums signed a petition requesting that his teaching appointment be withdrawn. I think they probably asked him to resign.

Ford was obviously just in it for the free polygraph test.

Haha. Yeah, that and they free vacation to temporary safe housing.

Did his testimony "avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety?" Or did his "precision" have the effect of creating a false impression through omission?

So true. And the worst thing is that certain elements of the Blessed Sacrament community have started referring to "Coach K" as "Coach Rapey." How cruel!


And them now starting to call him Coach Rapey is troubling too. It's just wrong!


and unfortunately growing in popularity, day by day. It's all "Coach Rapey" this and "Coach Rapey" that. What was wrong with Coach K???

Troubling and terribly unfair. Coach Rapey is not appropriate. Time to stop using it in the community, sarcasm or not.

It's not about liberal or conservative. It's about preserving American institutions. The Supreme Court is much bigger than any one person. If these allegations have to be investigated before he is seated, that's how it has to go down.

The only people I've heard saying "Coach Rapey" are people throwing it around to try to make him out to be a victim.

Here are just a sampling of the many many questions he dodged or did not answer.
