She knows exactly what happened during the assault and she knows exactly who assaulted her. Millions of Americans know it too including many in powerful positions that cynically could care less. That vile behavior gets a pass. We deserve what we get from him.

Teach your kids to protect themselves as no one else will step up to help.

The poster above asked you what made her accusation credible. Your answer was "she knows." That doesn't answer the question. What evidence does she have, other than her say-so? The witnesses she named to collaborate the story did not, and there were inconsistencies and changes in her story (most notably the date of the attack - from late 80s to early 80s).

There will never be any proof for this or or for most other sexual assaults. That is why 99 percent of all the people committing these acts are walking around among us and our families all day.

This is a he said she said situation like most. The evasive lies and sniveling partisan performance were as bad as the assault anyway. But there he sits on scotus. Shame on us.

We will see what happens to Collins. If she betrayed her constituents, she will be removed.

Collins has done so much for the state of Maine. She is a true moderate. She came out against Trump when he was running for President. She voted no on the repeal of Obamacare. She opposed DeVos and Pruitt for Cabinet positions. We need more people like Collins in both parties.

She also didn’t really oppose De Vos. If she hadn’t voted her out if Committee, Devos wouldn’t have gotten approved. She was allowed to vote no on the final vote by McConnell for show. That’s not being a moderate when your RWNJ leader tells you what to do.

False. Committee votes don’t matter. McConnell always has the option of scheduling a vote.

The case is about executive power

Sure, but a ruling in favor of Ross does not equate to "we have no more law and order"!

So Ross, for his past actions and alleged crimes, is above the law?

SCOTUS rules to disenfranchise native american voters.

Ugh.

I came across this article about Mark Judge, which I thought was really well written and thought-provoking:

I hate to defend Kavanaugh, but he didn’t participate in that decision.

Congrats to President Trump for nominating BK and then sticking by him through it all .... and for giving one of the better speeches he has given.

Congrats to Susan Collins for the brilliant rationale she offered for supporting his confirmation.

Thanks to Joe Manchin for having the courage to go against his party and support his nomination.

Finally, congrats to Mitch McConnell for masterfully managing the nomination to the point of confirmation.

Amen to all of that.

Kavanaugh gave a great speech tonight. Made me even more sure that he is the right person and that justice prevailed.

I agree. He will serve honorably on SCOTUS.
And to the person that thinks there is only one pro-Trump person posting.....Wow. #Clueless

He thanked every single republican senator in the judiciary. Partisan much?

Because every single democratic senator, except one, voted against him. Partisan much?

Or they just didn't think he was a good candidate. As did many church groups, President Ford, Justice Stevens, thousands of lawyers, his own former clerks, his classmates, etc.

Who exactly came out as strong supporters for BK?

Wow, President Ford! Delusions of grandeur or simply delusional.

Gerald Ford passed away many years ago.

My elk that to the poster up thread who said President Ford did not think kavanaugh was a good candidate.

So he was in 7-figure debt, the source of the down payment is unknown, and the house and mortgage were totally unaffordable?

Genuine question: why should there be mystery if the senior Kavanaughs are paying for everything? Or did so? He is their only child, moved close, and gave them two grandkids.

What the folks here harping on his finances fail to recognize is that not one of the Senators on the SJC have raised this as an issue. Why? Because it was covered in their closed hearing and they are satisfied with any questions they had.

NP here.

Disagree it was very partisan. It’s the first time in the history of the US that a supreme court justice named and thanked the members of one political party for getting him his votes and getting him through. Very partisan.

And the first time in history that one political party said they would "do whatever it takes" to block a The president's nominee, before even knowing who it would be, and voted in opposition with only one brave exception. Plenty of conservatives voted for Kagan and Sotomayor. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking the Democrats are anything but hyper-partisan.

We live in hyperpartisan times. But Trump is the first President to nominate off a preapproved list of people guaranteed to make conservative rulings. So Dems had plenty of time to check them all out and decide. Still, if he had picked somebody else off the list, that person would have passed with some Democratic votes, like Gorsuch did. If he had gone off list, he could have gotten a lot of Democratic votes.

Do you think RBG was picked by Bill Clinton with no consideration of her liberal leanings?

Regardless of what happened during the confirmation hearings, Kavanaugh is on the bench now and that's not going to change any time soon. So now it's up to him. For all of us who have grave concerns that he will be a highly partisan justice, he can choose whether to prove us right or prove us wrong.

Exactly right, and I hope those who opposed him with every breath of their being will give him the chance to demonstrate his abilities.

Kavanaugh has never asserted his parents gave him money. If they gave him more than $14,000 in any given year he should have reported it on his federal taxes. Guess what?

They have no other choice, it’s not like they can force him to decide a particular way or vote him out of office. His decisions are 100% on him now, you can’t blame them on anyone else.
