The people who don't know what proof and corroboration mean are incredibly frustrating. There is no corroboration or proof of Ford having been assaulted by Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh drinking in high school, Ford knowing his friend's names...none of that is proof of sexual assault.

Yes it is. Proof is evidence. Ford testified under oath that she was 100% certain it was Kavanaugh who sexually assaulted her. Her testimony is evidence. All of the other evidence that tends to support the details of her testimony -- that he got extremely drunk, that he ran with a certain group of guys, that those people tended to gather together at parties - is corroboration. "The testimony of a witness is said to be corroborated when it is shown to correspond with the representation of some other witnesses, or to comport with some facts otherwise known or established." If she's being honest about the surrounding details, it adds to an inference that the main assertion is also true.

Again, it may be too weak to establish, in your opinion, that Kavanaugh assaulted her. That's not irrational. But, "no proof" is simply not true. There is evidence.

Go back to school. Saying you are sure of something is NOT evidence. LOL.

Are you insane? Of course it's evidence. It's the sort of evidence that's admitted in courtrooms all day every day.

It was a given during that Roman circus of a hearing—the original one where Kamala came off as a blabbering idiot and Cory booker had his spongebob squarepants moment. All the heat lightning since then has just illuminated how crazed for power the left is. And it’s probably set back sexual assault victim advocacy by about 70 years.

They didn't have the votes then. They don't have them now.

Partially correct. They didn’t have them then. They do now, especially after the fbi —was that Justice Kavanaughs seventh FBI investigation—turned up the same thing his first six did.
Nada.
Zip.
Zilch.

If they had the votes, they would vote. Why on earth would they wait?

Are you asking why they're not voting, as in, tonight? Do you think that's possible?

Someone paid off his debts to the tune of $400K. It is possible that he is not acting of his own volition (which is why I wish senators had pushed him harder on the magic disappearing debt).

I saw an article several days ago that said the WH PR people worried about the Fox interview and had tried to set it up with CBS or someone less seemingly-partisan than Fox. But Kavanaugh felt most comfortable with MacCallum. And this WSJ letter? A dumb idea, and if he couldn't be talked out of it, he should have sent it to the Washington Post, not the Wall Street Journal.

I don’t think she could say anything about those houses that would change anyone’s mind.

yay!!!

Was he on anyone’s radar? It sounds to me like that’s game-set-match if solid yess are backing away.

The WSJ article was terrible.

Clearly there is something in the FBI transcripts and 302's.

No, they don't. With Collins, Murkowski, Flake, Gardner and Manchin all still undecided, the whip count is at best 47 yeas at the moment. And that assumes you haven't lost anyone else back to undecided like you did Gardner.

Sasse also undecided last I heard.

This all feels like typical fake posturing on both sides. He'll be confirmed, he was always going to be confirmed. Distract the population with this crap theater while both sides of the same coin do nothing but help their 9, 10, 11, and 12 figure net worth puppetmasters loot the nation.

Or senators are just taking the pulse of voters.

Yowzzaa. There will be a million people protesting in DC Saturday.

That's a million people with nothing better to do. Do they seriously hope to change McTurtle's mind?

Not McConnell's mind. Other senators' minds.

He really is. Kinda hope he didn’t see his former roommate Jamie Roche talking about and exposing liarface, drunken-ralphing frosh Kavanaugh; Roche is a looker and talks in an intelligent, responsive, pleasant-toned manner. Kind of hard to imagine Roche making puckered butthole faces and crying over calendars as he denied a credible sexual assault, a la Brett.

This all feels typical to you?

Again this country club set today was saying very unkind things about Dr. Ford from her youth.

AND THEY ARE WOMEN.

I simply cannot believe the women in this town.

Tear down other women. Boost up a$$holes like Kavanaugh. Simply because your husband's pay the bills and you cannot take care of yourselves.

PATHETIC.
