How many law professors are there in the US? Like 2300 or so? This is pretty significant.

Totally irrelevant. Stop hanging your hopes on such nonsense.

No, this is quite significant.

Flake agreed to the FBI investigation because our country "was being torn apart." Well, a white wash of an investigation is only going to make that worse.

The Supreme Court is the one institution that we need to stay above the fray. As someone said better than I

His scornful demeanor, his claim that he was a victim of “revenge” and his threatening reference that “what goes around comes around” combined to reveal Judge Kavanagh’s intent to serve as a political hatchet man bent on lashing out against perceived enemies for however long he serves.

This will do great damage to the Court as an institution.

Have you met law professors? Most are beyond mediocre. Just because they are lawyers it does not give them any real insight.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed, it will be because of Collins and Murkowski. Flake alone isn’t enough votes. Heitkamp and Manchin will decide what to do based on how Collins and Murkowski vote (because why tank their re-election campaigns with futile “no” votes), and you know they’re going to find that out in advance. Collins and Murkowski will decide together how they’re going to vote, and will vote the same way to give each other cover.

So if he’s confirmed, let us never forget it will be because Collins and Murkowski threw women under the bus in multiple respects. They should no longer get to play the centrist-supporter-of-women card.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed can he be impeached if dems take back the house/senate?

Yes.

If the investigation shows he’s clean, why not release the report?

How are they throwing women under the bus? There’s no proof Kavanuagh did anything. If you all are looking for a scapegoat for the MeToo movement and for every rape and sexual assault that has occurred in history, then you picked the wrong one.

Just wondering why everyone believes her with no evidence?

If you are outraged, please donate to this fund pledging to back Collin's opponent in the event of a "yes" vote. I sent $25. Every bit helps.

The House could impeach, they’d need the Senate to convict. There’s almost no chance the Dems will take back the Senate this year, so impeachment would be futile. But a Dem-run House could investigate the process Benghazi-style and embarrass the hell out of him.

Ha! Everyone knows that law professors aren’t real lawyers.

No, if Collins and Murkowski vote in favor of confirming, blame the idiotic Democrats on the JC who urged a FBI review which they knew or should have known would not provide corroboration in support of the allegations. It is the FBI review that they will rely on to support Kavanaugh.

Because of his derogatory treatment of women in the past (see the yearbook) and because of the shameful way Ford was treated by Republicans in this process. Not to mention no one really believes he thinks Roe is settled law. There are enough unanswered questions and unresolved concerns to justify a “no” vote, voting “yes” will be entirely their own choice.

It's not possible to conclude absolutely based on he said/she said, whether he assaulted her or not. The overall pattern she describes does fit with what we know about his high school years.

It's not about whether he assaulted her. It's about the fact that he lied or at least mislead the Senate Judiciary Committee UNDER OATH. He's a lawyer. He's a judge. He's a potential SCJ. He lied about being "Bart" (or at least mislead). He lied about the extent of his drinking. He lied about ralphing. And the Devil's Triangle. And boofing. Etc. Etc. Small lies matter. Please google "Kavanaugh lies" for a complete breakdown of his lies.

Do you really want a SCJ who lies, or at least prevaricates and obfuscates under oath, to the Senate???? Really, conservatives can't do any better than this guy?
