No. If he withdraws... he is guilty in the minds of liberals.
He will fight this fight to maintain his reputation, his character, and his integrity. I would expect no less.

When it is a party that the younger high schoolers have crashed. Maybe it was recent GP grads home for break who had the party - she was at Montgomery College apparently at the time.

Way to blame the victim. College students do hang out with high schoolers from time to time.

Yeah, I was HS class of '83, my brother was '80, we used to go to some of the same parties.

That at least makes sense. You ran in the same circles. Where did this person come from? Nobody knows who she is.

"Nobody"? Where do you get that?

The high school contemporaries of Kavanaugh in their letter to Grassley and Feinstein said that they "do not recall having ever met" Swetnick and defended Kavanaugh as a "good man."

"In the extensive amount of time we collectively spent with Brett, we do not recall having ever met someone named Julie Swetnick," they wrote. "Nor did we ever observe Brett engaging in any conduct resembling that described in Ms. Swetnick’s declaration."

She knew someone involved in these prep schools well enough to show up to 10 parties where she claims Kavanaugh was, so who was her connection to give her the heads up to go these parties? Seems someone in orbit would come out and remember her.

Wonder if the trains ran on time in the early 80s in Bethesda?

And if he withdrew, you'd be saying "see? He knows he's guilty." No matter what does, you'd find a way to interper it negatively, and why? Because he's a conservative. The racist angle that Booker tried didn't work, so now they're doing this. Terrible.

A young adult at Montgomery College would not be going to parties with prep school boys from GP.

I like some of trump’s policies,although I didn’t vote for him. I also don’t care how many porn stars he’s slept with as long as it was all consensual. I guess I’m a moderate suburban housewife. I didn’t really have strong feelings about Kavanaugh one way or another. In fact I thought he might be more moderate than other options and maybe that was good.

But to me it seems these women who have come forward have a lot to lose, and are getting hit pretty hard. I don’t see much that they have to gain vs what they are losing/risking. What is the Kavanaugh explanation for their motives? And please let’s not hear the mistaken identity or ‘twilight zone’ nonsense.

I find it unlikely they have all been recruited as part of some liberal conspiracy that somehow found women who grew up in Bethesda in the 80’s and convinced them to lie ‘for the good of the party.’ Do people really think these women are conspiring against him and lying because they feel so strongly about the Supreme Court that they are willing to drag themselves and their families through this? Or do people think they are being paid off by pelosi or something, or what??

When I hear the ‘Democrats are ruining this guy’s reputation’.
Does this mean you believe the women who came forward are part of a democratic conspiracy? That Democrats are paying them off? What exactly does that mean?

Seems like, outside of some pretty strange conspiracy theories, and coupled with the evidence of his own friends and yearbook accounts of partying and drinking - their stories are pretty plausible. Why would he brag in his yearbook about sleeping with Renata and then now claim he was a virgin? Even if he was just posturing then why doesn’t he admit that now and apologize?

I get that people are mad, but shouldn’t you be mad at the poor vetting that got this heavy drinking/heavy spending/ bad friends guy this far? I’m not a fan of pelosi/Feinstein, but I don’t really get how this is their fault?

That’s weird. How about when you were in college? Did you attend the same parties are your brother? Even in high school, the older girls never hung around the freshmen boys.

Yes, I know Julie and she knew many of the same people I do in Chevy Chase.

Keep up, you moron. Why do you think there are 11th hour allegations? It's because the Republicans elected to try to ram this nomination through - a committee vote on Friday morning less than 24 hours after tomorrow's hearing? No wonder these accusers are coming in now. When else are they supposed to disclose? After the committee vote? Even if he is nominated, the bench is soiled, and this is never going away. The Dems will keep at it until he is destroyed. Where there is one rape and sexual assault, there is usually more, a lot more in a pattern of behavior.

But, you keep your illusion of a spear campaign going if it makes you feel better honey.

Can you liberals please debate without the "moron" and "idiot" name-calling? All you're doing is confirming how low and nasty you liberals are.

...writes the whiner complaining that Boulder may as well be Portland, laughs and says ACB raped him 25 years ago, and has sprayed his inanity everywhere here.

He's certainly not upholding the dignity of the court. He should withdraw.

Sometimes life isn't fair. If he hasn't learned this lesson yet, then now's the time.

Oh my. It looks the Senate Committee is releasing accounts by anonymous sources that have proven to be false as a way of creating doubt about the accounts of the named women who have come forward. Desperation.

Of course not.

I do but fully believe that the guys might not.have thought they were raping anyone. I dont believe the implied intent behind that phrasing but absolutely believe that they had parties where girls were gotten drunk and tossed around.

To add to this...I think this is what makes us so uncomfortable about this. We dont feel in our guts it is fair to punish someone for something bad they didn't know they were doing

OMFG.

I can't even believe you think a guy doesn't know he's raping a girl when he STOOD IN LINE TO HAVE SEX WITH HER.

You're saying that as if it's a fact. Completely unsubstantiated accusation.
