There was a real possibility for that before the true soul of the Democratic party was bared with the character assassination efforts. That would be hard for anyone to forget. I view this as a lose-lose.

I don't know, is Ginsburg apologizing for calling on Trump to resign, or 'eschewing one's partisan past' only something conservatives are asked to do?

No it’s not. I’m the Democrat upthread who just said that Ginsberg has become partisan in the age of Trump and she needed to cut it out.

In 2019, a Democratic House of Representative will investigate Kavanaugh’s sexual assault, and bring him up for impeachment hearings on charges of lying to Congress. Book it.

I know you want to believe this, but you know deep down it won't happen. How are they going to investigate a sexual assault where the victim doesn't know where it happened. when it happened and all her witnesses know nothing about it. You are better off praying for the health of RBG for the next 6 years.

Lying to Congress is the low hanging fruit. Get ready for 2 years of discussing Devils trigales and whether he had one, with whom and when. Book it.

Keep hope alive!

Please run Avanetti and a platform of IMPEACHMENT in 2018 and 2020...please

No Democrats want him to run.

I do, however, enjoy him poking at the idiot you voted for.

no, time to stop wasting everyone's time.
nukes have been getting built like there is no tomorrow for the last 9 years. get your eye on the ball.

if you want confirmation of this go read a chinese newspaper in chinese what they say about our mass media headlines day in and out. looking like fools.

I'm not sure I understand your logic. Confirming (or not confirming) Kavanaugh will affect nukes or China? Seems unlikely to me.

We're Americans. We're concerned with our government, first. That includes the Supreme Court.

I'm sick of people like you trying to rest of us to accept abuse and lies by Republicans. We can protest and vote for leadership corralling other nuclearizing authoritarian nations AND hold our reps accountable for this.

Just got back from Brasil, where I was told how the USA doesn't even know a real scandal from a bunch of teenage BS, and how nice it was to see politics sux everywhere.

Read the David Brock piece. There was never, ever any possibility of that. Ever.

Yes!

Also apparently there are 2 Yale alumni -- one who is a professor at Princeton theological seminary -- who are willing to testify under oath to the FBI to corroborate Deborah Ramirez's story. One, who was a suitemate of Kavanaugh's, heard it at the time a day or two after it happened, and he was so disturbed by it he later told his graduate school roommate about it. Years before Kavanaugh was nominated. The FBI refused to interview these two men.

All you Kavanaugh supporters, please come here and tell us this professor of religious studies is lying through his teeth.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/will-the-fbi-ignore-testimonies-from-kavanaughs-former-classmates

Ramirez, a classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Yale, says that he exposed himself to her during a drunken dormitory party and thrust his penis in her face, which led to her touching it against her will. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation, along with that of Christine Blasey Ford, a professor from California who said that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party when they were teen-agers. Several former Yale students who claim to have information regarding the alleged incident with Ramirez or about Kavanaugh’s behavior at Yale said that they had not been contacted by the F.B.I. Kenneth G. Appold was a suitemate of Kavanaugh’s at the time of the alleged incident. He had previously spoken to The New Yorker about Ramirez on condition of anonymity, but he said that he is now willing to be identified because he believes that the F.B.I. must thoroughly investigate her allegation. Appold, who is the James Hastings Nichols Professor of Reformation History at Princeton Theological Seminary, said that he first heard about the alleged incident involving Kavanaugh and Ramirez either the night it occurred or a day or two later. Appold said that he was “one-hundred-per-cent certain” that he was told that Kavanaugh was the male student who exposed himself to Ramirez. He said that he never discussed the allegation with Ramirez, whom he said he barely knew in college. But he recalled details—which, he said, an eyewitness described to him at the time—that match Ramirez’s memory of what happened. “I can corroborate Debbie’s account,” he said in an interview. “I believe her because it matches the same story I heard thirty-five years ago, although the two of us have never talked.”

Appold, who won two Fulbright Fellowships, and earned his Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale in 1994, also recalled telling his graduate-school roommate about the incident in 1989 or 1990. That roommate, Michael Wetstone, who is now an architect, confirmed Appold’s account and said, “It stood out in our minds because it was a shocking story of transgression.”

Yes she is. Maine hates Kav, and her base is moderate and democratic women. And she made her bones as a pro-choice R. Every decision for women he makes will be hung around her neck as the person who decided if he wshould be on the Court.

Kav has a special strain of nastiness going on with Alaskan Natives, who got Murkowski elected. It is very hard to see how she votes Yes. It’s a somewhat state specific, Kav specific problem, move than a liberal/conservative issue. And I suspect this is why McConnell wanted someone else. Because this is someone Murkowski cannot support, period. And she shouldn’t. He would badly hurt her core constituency. She’d probably be a yes for anyone else. on the short list but Amy Barrett.

Yet all this is for naught if Collins and Flake vote yes, correct?

Not to mention red-state Democrat Senators. Is there a strategy on the left? Is trying for a Senate majority more important than unseating K? How are campaign funds and get-out-the vote efforts looking in these particular states? Any wiggle room, there?

+1. He’s entertaining. But Trump has the I Want a Reality TV White Hoise vote sewn up.

Actually many countries see this Fall's nominating process as highly politicized and ineffective to the core of the system. Who would want to be nominated when solicitations go out around the country to collect slander? Well, people who are fundamentally against the smoke, mirrors, and petty jabs from desperate politicians doing anything for a seat.

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.

If a Dem House impeach Trump and Kav for cause (with actual investigation and proof) and GOP senator do not vote to remove, it would a great cause to turn congress and WH blue. So, I do not think it is a lost cause. I believe Thomas should be impeached too.

It’s not character assassination if he did it.

And he did it. Brett Kavanaugh, alcoholic and jerk, pulled Christine Blasey into a bedroom with music playing so loud no one could hear her screams as Brett grinned against her, trying to take off her clothes and fondling her, covering her mouth to furthe rmuffle her screams.

Brett’s a “Renate alum”.

He’s not mocking a stutter when he wrote “ffff” in his yearbook or in his filthy beach week planning letter.

He insulted Senator Klobuchar.

He failed to answer questions.

He out and out lied about multiple insignificant things and at least one enormous letter - trucking in stolen emails.

Someone owns him by way of having paid off his eneormous gambling debts.

He is a toxic presence.
