Agree. Too much coming out just tonight. But given he said he wouldn't withdraw, will he make Trump pull him, or will they force a vote?


Twitter says force a vote. And Trump has been know to force losing votes. See also, the ACA repeal. But more to the point, they never staffed up adequately, and Kav is McGann’s guy and McGann is leaving. They have been too busy with Kav to vet anyone as Plan B.


Barrett was recently vetted because she was the runner up.

Liberals don't want her because she's "too Christian." They're probably already devising their plan of attack.


Nobody wants her because she has said explicitly that she would overturn RvW.


And yet Kavanaugh would never have overturned Roe. Liberals aren't very bright.


Or...maybe we don’t want an angry/lying/partisan drunk on the bench?


Oh, stop the pretense. You didn't want him on the bench well before these allegations came out.


I generally want a balanced court, but was holding out for the hearing. Would have preferred an FBI investigation before that, but his performance was surprisingly terrible. Glad he showed his true colors.

If Trump nominated a clean-cut, reasonable judge I’d have a much different opinion. But he didn’t, so here we are.

And you will support him no matter what it seems? Lies & unprofessional behavior was ok?

If they think we will accept a sham investigation, they are wrong.

If they think we will let this go, they are stupid.

NO MORE. NO MORE!

Most of the people here have been following this closely only since the allegations of sexual assault. But a lot happened before that. Those of us who followed his initial testimony know that Kavanaugh was not totally upfront quite a number of times. About papers stolen from the Democrats when he worked for Bush. About whether he knew a lawyer who worked for trumps lawyer. Just two examples. He’s just not fully forthcoming at best about quite a few difficult things. . All the little lies on Thursday, and all the things before, it’s more than enough to disqualify him. But both sides are going for broke. Sexual assault or bust. Supreme court or bust.

The two people Trump heaped praise on last week: Brett Kavanaugh and Kim Jong Un. All you need to know.

A report is circulating on the internet but is not complete.

criminal charges were never on the table, and she said that based on the evidence she has - which come on! She barely could ask him any questions because he flipped out and couldn't deal with being questioned.

Notice she does not say she doesn't think he did it.

There was another thread that was shut down about the "devil's triangle." Yes, these things happened.

I was around in the 1980s, at a private school in southeastwrn VA; two guys "shared" a younger drunk freshman hs girl at a party.

Her parents found out when she got pregnant, they forced her to have the baby, had all the male participants identified paternity tested, and found the father. His parents made the child support payments, her parents adopted the baby and sent their daughter off to a religious boarding school, and the third guy was sent to a military school.

That was in high school.

When I went to college in VA in the 1980s, Hampton Sydney frat guys were notorious for "running trains" on drunk college girls. I knew two people who got pregnant from gang rape there, one had and abortion the other gave the baby up for adoption.

You all are NUTS!!!! I cannot believe this thread has 236 pages!

For every person who dislikes Kavanaugh, stop participating in this thread!

Donate to a Democrat running for Congresss instead. Or, spend an hour or two canvassing or talking to neighbors.

You are changing no minds here. It's literally a waste of your time.

Well, my mind has been changed. I thought Kavanaugh was a stellar judge at first. Now that veil has been pierced

It's not the Democrats who've stopped the Kavanaugh vote - it's moderate Republicans. The few who are left who seem to be taking seriously their Constitutional duty of advice and consent. That's why the WH has so tightly limited the FBI investigation - they're trying to walk the fine line between not actually finding anything bad and giving Collins and Murkowski enough cover to vote for him.

The problem is, as people get over the shock of the hearing and actually think about it and watch clips from it, they're realizing that Kavanaugh's behavior - the lying, avoiding of questions, obsession with beer - is not what we want in a Supreme Court justice. Will those few undecided Senators be brave and vote against him? Or will they toe the party line? That's what this week is about.


Speak for yourself. The people I know feel exactly the opposite way. We feel his anger and emotions were fully warranted, given the accusations against him. I don't hold that against him at all. I would have been very shocked had he remained calm and pleasant, given the obvious assumption of guilt many of the Democrats have toward him. I know if I were accused of something I didn't do, I'd be hard-pressed not to throttle those asking the questions.


Amazing how the Republicans can appeal to their paranoia and persecution complex to justify immorality.

Guess what, you're not being persecuted. You are in power. With power comes responsibility. If you drag these institutions down in the mud, what do you think is going to save you? You're on the precipice of a huge demographic shift in the US. Would it not make sense for you to channel that fear of being hunted and unfairly accused into strengthening the institutions?


What on earth are you blabbering about? We're talking about an innocent man (because last I checked, we are ALL innocent until proven guilty) being attacked based on an allegation with zero evidence. But sure, try and spin it into "Republicans are fearful of being hunted and unfairly accused"??? WTF.


There's a big difference between being presumed innocent and actually being innocent.


Can you prove he's guilty? No? Then he's presumed innocent. Difficult concept, apparently.


And if this were a court of law, it would be an open and shut case. But, this isn't the burden. The person most Americans saw on Thursday would not be worthy of hiring as an intern or street sweeper, much less the highest court in the land.


+1

The burden is on Kavanaugh to prove that he’s worthy of a SCOTUS seat.

Just his testimony in the hearing was enough to disqualify him, let alone a series of allegations.



Who are you trying to fool? You already made up your mind. ignore 12 years of recent written opinions.
