Instead they will crash and burn on this over the next week only to have trump stew and wallow before making another selection... who knows it could be mid October before they even have a new nominee! Senators will have to be in DC voting on a SCJ instead of campaigning against the betos of the country giving up key time.

It just seems incredibly stupid and shortsighted for people given the gift of an unexpected second court nominee.

Perhaps, but why would they let an innocent man (because we *are* innocent until proven guilty, right?) take the fall? That's more important right now. He should have a chance to be heard, and not just withdraw with his tail between his legs. I think this is an important precedent for anyone accused - with no evidence to support the accusation. There must be a fair hearing. Otherwise, I could point my finger at anyone I wanted and claim they assaulted me.

Go for it. Point your fingers and accuse.

The truth is that supreme court nominees have been rejected for far less. ALL OF THEM WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED IN THE PAST WERE REJECTED FOR LESS!

Gang rape? Seriously. Supreme court nominees MUST BE without question, without doubts. Do we expect they have the same politics as the president who nominates them? YES. Do we expect them to have open and honest financial records (K. does not)? YES. He was a crappy nominee before this, honestly. No one DESERVES a seat on the supreme court. NO ONE DESERVES IT.

The same Mark Judge that flew away to Bethany beach in cowardice?

Similarly, why did the second accuser add details about being drunk herself, and being conflicted about coming forward? If you're making it up out of whole cloth why add details that diminish your own credibility or can be independently verified?

It's obvious why they don't want to get to the truth.

Super friendly to girls of high status with rich parents and country club peerage.

Moms and dads -- look in the mirror -- in your quest for that Lax scholarship and Ivy League admit, are you raising the next Brett Kavanaugh??????

Is his wife from a wealthy background?

No he married "down," probably due to his insecurity and unconfident nature around women when sober....and due to his alcohol and gambling addictions.....

The speculation and wishful thinking here is hysterical. Do you people write crummy novels too?

She is from Abilene, Texas and worked for many years for George Bush.

Brett Kavanaugh has steadily risen through the ranks of the judiciary over years of hard work. He's had six FBI investigations, none of which turned up anything. If these women had something to bring forward concerning him, why didn't they do so years ago? It's been asked before and none of you have an answer, just more B.S. All of a sudden, when it looks like he will be confirmed, these women come out of the woodwork. Very, very suspicious.

Oh stop with the six FBI investigations bullshit. Yes, he's gotten six security clearances. Each one assumes that the previous one was done properly. After his first one nobody looked at his college years.

Actually he was trying to find someplace to hide incommunicado until this blows over.

Ginsburg was rejected for having smoked pot for god's sake.

I mean yeah. No one would bring up anything before because he wasn’t going for SCOTUS.

And reminder: Gorusch had nothing like this because he was clean. This guy isn’t. So it’s not suspicious if you take that into consideration.

Also: FBI doesn’t investigate sex crimes unless someone reports them. Any schmuck would know that.

Wow, simmer down. He has not been alleged to have taken part in any rapes, gang or otherwise, so you can shut that down right now. These are all allegations against him - with no corroborating witnesses. You can't simply expect people to make claims like that, 30+ years later, and be taken seriously. If you do, then you need your head examined.

I kinda feel bad for him. He wrote a book about it. And if Kav doesn’t get confirmed, he’s the top dog to blame.

It's a disgrace. She says she expects the female prosecutor the GOP hired because they were too cowardly to question Ford was going to ask hundreds of questions about Ford's memories of that night to make her look unreliable, when all research shows that it's typical to have gaps in memory about traumatic events.

I guess you told me! And no, I won't stop with the six FBI investigations "bullshit" until you stop with all of the other B.S. - where are the corroborating witnesses? Every single one has said they have no recollection of these incidents. Sorry, you can't just condemn someone without providing some shred of evidence.

Here's a plot for great fiction.....(all denied by classmates, friends, and acquaintances)

I only had one beer.
I was a virgin in high school and college.
Mark Judge is not my friend.
I have never been blackout drunk.
I kissed Renate once.
My fraternity at Yale was a band of upstanding brothers.
I didn't receive stolen emails.
I don't recall.......
I don't remember.......
I never sexually assaulted a girl on a bed in a house in a room near a country club in Maryland in a year of a month on a day that's not noted on my calendar.......
