Be like the health care law. It was better that Obamacare was not overturned

Same thing here , best thing that can happen for republicans is that report shows nothing and Kavanaugh withdraws

Amen

I don't think they have the votes. It will end the same way Harvard did. He really upset the legal community. He will get counseling from his team, then the announcement will follow.

Me too
If votes were there - he'd be sworn in by now

Trump doesn't want to look bad and admit kavanaugh was a poor choice. He's been dropping hints but won't come out and speak the truth until the FBI has completed their investigation. Some hints were the comments that he doesn't really know the guy- they just met a few weeks ago. Then theres the moment about if he lied to congress that changes things because we can't have anyone lie to congress. These are subtle, but the comments were said. The letters from the professors, and law clerks were very telling where this was going. Its about the integrity of the legal profession. Also the Harvard class. No one would have signed up to take it anyway. Sorry for typos.

You give Trump way too much credit. He'd dance on stage in his underpants if his handlers told him to.

You give him too little credit

I'm actually appalled by Trump. He's definitely uneducated fool, but JFC he's lucky SOB. He found a right tone to play US politics like a fiddle.
I do believe he actually can shot somebody and still have his base.

That said - right now it's a damage control for him. He can't admit it was a poor choice, so he won't withdraw K. At the same time he want's to hurt Ds - hence the circus with delayed confirmation.
Let Ds show their colors, enjoy mass hysteria in the press, than tank confirmation, and blame it on Ds
wins all around + energized MCP base who won't be voting in midterms otherwise

During a conversation about our sexual preferences, things got derailed when Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship.

I asked her if this was just a fantasy of hers. She responded that she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.

A.I.D.S. was a huge issue at the time. And I had children. Due to her having a directly stated penchant for group sex, I decided not to see her anymore. It put my head back on straight. That was the last conversation we had.

Julie never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will. She never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity

Dude. This was so 23 hours and 54 pages ago. Short response: turns out the guy who wrote this did not both to scrub his social media presence. 350 pound Ex weatherman (references his weight in the letter; but I won a daytime Emmy in the 90s!) who says he very casually dated her and never slept with her. Claims to be a Democrat. Is in fact a MAGAtt of the highest order with QAnon type memes dominating his FB page. Believed there was a vast left wing conspiracy to keep Gorsuch off the Court (nope).

And, oh yeah. He says he tried to find her a few years later because was so impressed by her that he wanted to hire her to work on a political campaign. But didn’t, because he called her dad to get her number, and her dad said she was loony tunes (WTAF?).

This is not a guy who scream credibility.

Now the Christians have come out against Brett. Soon it will be just the GOP hanging on...

The nation’s largest coalition of Christian churches on Wednesday called for the withdrawal of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court.

The National Council of Churches, which has membership from more than 40 denominations including most major Protestant and Eastern Orthodox denominations in the U.S., wrote in a statement on their website that they believe Kavanaugh has “disqualified himself from this lifetime appointment and must step aside immediately.”

The statement cited a number of reasons for the demand, including Kavanaugh’s behavior during his recent testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on sexual assault allegations against him.

+1. Waiting is not helping. Every day that goes by gives them more ammunition to trash the women. But it also turns over more people contacting the FBI, and fresh new revelations and accusations against him. Harvard stepped away. The churches are stepping away. The legal community is long gone. His team is tossing mud on the women, but he is also losing support— and he was already less popular than Miers or Bork.

People are stepping away due to a mere allegation that has no facts? sad day.

Have you looked up that Ketterer guy? He's a nut and a liar.

NP. He didnt sound like a winner so I didn't need to look him up. None of these details matter at this point.

1. He’s not a winner
2. The details don’t matter. Liking group sex doesn’t mean you can’t be raped. This is straight up slut shaming. So kudos to Hatch and Grassley
3. Look him up anyway, because he is literally the 350 pound aggrieved white guy sitting in his mother’s basement raving about Q. He checks every Trump supporter stereotype imaginable.

I have never heard that K has the reputation for being a hot head. So his temper tantrum was shocking. And stupid. I have seen it reported that McGann cleared the room after Fords testimony and told him he had to come out swinging. If true it was terrible advice and complete amateur hour. And it sank the nomination. He would have been hearing cases this week if he had kept his cool.

I work with lawyers from the Federalist society to Berniefan club. And everyone agrees that seating him would seriously damage the legitimacy of the Court and that he should withdraw.

To say the legal community is really upset is an understatement."

Were those his true colors or was he just putting on a show based on (mis)advice from his White House team? He has been a judge for a long time now. Have questions been raised about his temperament in court?

Trump and Kavanaugh are really a matched pair. Sexual assault allegations, financial messiness and an angry unpleasant personality

Not mere allegations. Rather performance during hearing. He has nobody to blame but himself
He couldn't pull off Trump-like performance - double-down, lie, and deny everything. He wasn't believable, he was pathetic.

The author of this piece of fiction has been diagnosed as bi-polar. He is mentally ill. He is not trustworthy at all.

He sounded like an angry entitled nut. If he’s he beat the GOP can do, they’re in big trouble.

OK, so the God Squad is out. Drop this guy (now!) and nominate another conservative justice. Kavanaugh is damaged goods and comes at way too high an ongoing cost, especially when there are other options for nominees.


100,000 U.S. Christian Churches Demand Withdrawal of Kavanaugh's Supreme Court Nomination

The National Council of Churches statement said, “Judge Kavanaugh exhibited extreme partisan bias and disrespect towards certain members of the committee and thereby demonstrated that he possesses neither the temperament nor the character essential for a member of the highest court in our nation.” The statement also alleged misstatements and “outright falsehoods” in his testimony.

They are stepping away for a lot of reasons, including his behavior at the hearing last Thursday. He lied repeatedly about small things, he was rude to the people questioning him, he refused to answer questions, he made that very odd claim that the allegations against him are part of a conspiracy on behalf of the Clintons and that left wing groups are funding it with millions of dollars!!

He sounded very off, and not Supreme Court material. And that's on top of the accusations against him. Oh, and he lied repeatedly about his drinking. All of the sexual allegations against him involve heavy drinking, which he denied, despite his yearbook and statements by multiple Yale and Yale Law and Georgetown Prep classmates.

These are all great questions. And my understanding is he gets along well with his peers and has an even temperament in Court. But that’s irrelevant. In the most high profile setting imaginable, he blew in bigly. It is the one and only time most Americans will see him speak. He treated members of a co-equal branch of government with contempt on national TV. Even if this is the only bad two hours of his professional career, the appearance is that he cannot be impartial and cannot control is temper. This is a one strike offense.

That too, but it's not really relevant. His anger is justifiable, his behavior was not.

Before the hearing I was on the fence, after the hearing - hard pass.

The FBI spent a very long time interviewing Judge. Is there any way that could happen and help Kavanaugh instead of hurt him?
