Yes! I don't understand the process for congressional subpoena. Can a Dem do it?

No Dems cannot issue subpoena without Grassley signing it. This is exactly what happened in House intelligence committee where Nunes refused to sign valid subpoena requests by Dems and derailed the Russian meddling investigation in the committee into partisan shitshow.

Do you think they will face political backlash?

No. Not in Trump's GOP.

If a women up for confirmation have her career derailed because at Mardi Gras she flashed her boobs in my face?

Let me know if you think her career would be derailed if multiple witnesses came forward to testify that she:
1)Flashed her boobs in your face
2)Wrestled you to the bed and kept you from screaming aloud while grinding you and trying to strip off your clothes
3)Targeted you as a sexual victim by spiking your drink so that you would pass out and a train of people could molest your unconscious body. And did this to others, too.
4)Publicly lied about it and claimed her high school years and those following were pure as the driven snow.

As said, words have convicted him not evidence.

He is convicted of nothing. As we have explained ad nauseum, there is a huge difference between a criminal investigation and a job interview. This is the latter. And no employer in their right mind would proceed with a candidate like this when so many others are available.

I thought the WaPo found him hiding out at his friend’s beach house.

Prob not. This distraction, as epic as it’s been, does not take away from the larger cultural battle going on between right and left. I think at worst, it might energize some of the undecideds if any of those exist anymore

Did teenagers think this was rape in '82? They knew not to drink the punch. They would talk about it in the halls at school. But did they know it was rape? Or was it just something they didn't want to have happen to them?

She said she was the victim of a rape at one of these parties--and, yet she continued to attend them.......

She also does not accuse Kavanaugh of rape. She implies it, but does not accuse him.

And, Gaithersburg was considered pretty rural in those days.

Unlike everyone else in DCUM, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to drug girls to set them up for rape and might even make you guilty of the rape.

If they cave, their career as republicans are over. They might as well switch to be democrats.

Lol. You have no idea how much he did or didn’t drink. This whole thing is bullshit. He’s qualified and will be confirmed.

can't believe you're a real person

I am and a woman and a Democrat who voted for Hillary. Also a lawyer. This campaign is transparently political and the allegations are drafted to be vague guilt-by-association nonsense with timing that is ridiculously and transparently politically-motivated. It’s a campaign to discredit him based on him being at parties where bad things may have happened. You are a sheep and a part of the brainless mob for believing this stuff.

sorry, don't believe you

LMAO. Go ask Jeff to check my IP. I posted tons in favor of Hillary. Is it really so unbelievable that I can think for my damn self and see that this campaign is vague and baseless. I’m a woman who can think for herself, thank you very much. I read and think critically and can see this latest #metoo campaign for what it is.

This poster asked other posters to ask me to check the poster's IP address. Two posters asked. So I checked and this poster has claimed to be a Hillary supporter in the past. However, the poster also claims to have been impressed by the Jordan Peterson videos and to have "seen the light" as a result. The poster also support the "Walk Away" movement which doesn't really exist.

Jeff, has she only claimed to be a Hillary supporter in the past or her behaviors (original posting supporting Hillary, defending Hillary/praising Hillary on other post) in the past proves she is a Hillary supporter. I can say I am Trump supporter multiple time on posts while questioning all kind of crap policies by his administration here. That would not make me a Trump supporter, rather would make me a fake to buy in Trump supporters trust. Please respond. And thanks for what you do!

I super love that you are so thoroughly floored that I did indeed support Hillary. What is seriously wrong with you that you cannot fathom disagreement in your own party? I don’t know how far back Jeff can look at posts but I posted a LOT on here in favor of Hillary during the campaign.

On another note, I find it incredible that posters turn to Mr. Steele for background on people who post here and he happily obliges. I think it is HIS way of trying to discredit some of the people who post here.

You told them to ask him, and now you're incredulous that they actually did what you suggested? I think it's his way of maintaining the integrity of this forum, so it doesn't become awash in dishonest conspiracies that originated online. Like the walkaway movement.

It’s like someone said “let’s come up with a shady sexual allegation to make him go away.” And that didn’t work so then they said “let’s try again just to bolster the first one.” Then when that didn’t work they said “screw it, let’s go for broke. Let’s say he’s actually a serial gang rapist.” I mean, this is like every liberal dystopian fantasy come to life

And yet, for someone who grew up in the area, in the prep school bubble, it's entirely believable. Because it has happened many times. Because I've seen it happen. Because I know so many smarmy lawyers just like Kav who have done the same.

OP here- on the other hand, if this is true then the GOP made the most tragically comical pick for SC. Of all the choices, they pick a gang rapist?!? I’m a conservative and this is dang frustrating! And no I’m not saying the allegations are “comical” so crazies relax

I'm relieved that you, as a conservative, can separate your political preferences from your disappointment at the nomination a Republican Supreme Court Judge who is palpably unfit.
I, as someone who leans left, who be equally disgusted if the nominee was a Democrat and was accused of similar acts. I do not want any abusive person, male or female, Democrat or Republican, on the Supreme Court.
It seems a no-brainer to me to attach credence to the accusers, who are so brave to come forward despite humiliations and threats.

Humans before politics!

Thank you. I am a conservative but I believe in the ideas, not necessarily the people who are supposed to carry them out. As we’ve all seen, they can be very incompetent unfortunately. I mean how hard is it to get a constitutional originalist with a squeaky clean record?

All of this could have been avoided if the Republicans hadn't done away with the filibuster. A candidate who can get 60 votes is going to be a good candidate.

Let’s remember the facts here.....

-Harry Reid was the one that started this train in motion by changing the rules.
-Feinstein received a letter. Instead of following regular procedure and forwarding that letter to the Chairperson, she chose to sit on it, then leak it at an opportune time.
-There is nothing “unfit” about this candidate. These allegations are just that - allegations. No evidence. Nothing. Unprovable - all of them. And, these women know it.

No. I think Democrats will, though, esp. among men. This is mob justice identity politics laid bare. People have had enough.

Yep. Enough BS allowing men to continue to act like pigs with no consequences at all.

They fear their own base more than anything else. He may still be confirmed.

[Anonymous]

These geriatric senators McConnell, Grassley and Hatch can't keep up with the lightening speed of this news, and their reactions and statements are disastrous. They are no match for Avenatti and this mastery of the media machine. This is all making the Republican party look ridiculous and, and frankly they've already lost the women suburban vote.

SHE asked Jeff herself to check her IP! Get the facts straight.

She was probably posting in support of Hillary back in 2016 only in order to set herself up to be credible in defending Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

Aside from actual assault, they don't need to do more than explain that they regret their msygenistic behavior, regret they particpated in or laughted at sexists views of girls that were par for the course in the 80s and are still with us a lesser degree now, regret that they weren't forsighted enough to stand up to this culture and call it out, and claim thet youth doesn't excuse it, rather youth culture needs to change and is changing.

BK won't do that. If he is not lying about being a virgin, it means he played along enough (his yearbook!) but kept his hands clean. Maybe part of him knew it was wrong. If he spoke up now about his own misguided cowardice as a youth, and I would have less compunction about his being a supreme court judge.

No.

He was given so many opportunities in recent days, and even at his confirmation hearing with Kamala Harris (prescient, that one!) to explain himself.

If he back-pedals now, it's obvious he will have done it under duress after the third and damning allegation. Also, I cannot find words strong enough to express that enabling gang rape is NOT PARDONABLE and UNWORTHY OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Would be nice if the Montgomery County police were involved now? But they won't be...
