Mr. white privilege will end up just fine-with plenty of money to spend and no jail time. If he were black he would have been imprisoned long ago, but white and rich? Nah...just a good old asshole boy doin his white privilege thang with his thang.

I hear you but he has no money, he has virtually nothing to show for his prep school and Yale degree . A loser in every sense of the word .

How does he have no money? What does his judgeship pay? Does his wife work?

Have you been under a rock since July? This has been discussed. Wife earns $66k. He earns $216k. $1.8 million home. $90k Bethesda Country Club initiation. $110k Congressional Country Club initiation. $40k per year tuition for the girls. $200k in credit card debt went poof in the last year but didn't come from his bank accounts. $30k in savings. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/07/new-strike-against-kavanaugh-season-tickets/565022/

Article indicated his father received $13 million.

Because they didn't...they wanted to push their boy to the SC anyway they can!

And/or they were too busy focusing their resources on reviewing/withholding his bazillions of documents from his Bush WH years to delve into a true background check.

Also, given that he was supposedly vetted before his previous appointment to the DC Court of Appeals, maybe they felt like he was a known quantity and they could rush things along and skip the deeper check. Oops.

In the process of a typical security clearance, they don't interview your high school classmates unless they already have a reason to look there (eg, arrest in high school or expulsion). They generally only go back to the most recent 7 years.

In addition, as part of a security clearance, you will provide a list of names for the investigators to meet with. Generally, these are your friends and family; they will not rat you out for what they perceive to be minor indiscretions and will generally cast the applicant in a favorable light.

Investigators also interview ex-girlfriends. But if Kavanaugh wasn't too serious with anyone, then he likely told them he wasn't in any relationships. This is where investigators can usually dig up the real dirt. But Kavanaugh seems as if he avoided relationships.

Two former high school girlfriends came out publicly about his exemplary behavior.

Good catch! Thanks.

Interesting. Do we know if people in these ads are being compensated?

Just tuned into this thread after six hours, and trying to catch up. Has someone credibly accused BK of gang rape? Please provide name and allegation. Also, does anyone know the dynamics and timetable in the event of a BK withdrawal? Can the President nominate a replacement for potential confirmation before mid-terms, or during lame-duck session?

Just as The New Yorker's story dropped, Michael Avenatti, a well-known Democratic lawyer, said he represents "a woman with credible information" about Kavanaugh and his high school friend Mark Judge, who Ford alleged was in the room with her and Kavanaugh at the time of the alleged assault. Avenatti posted on Twitter that he has "significant evidence" that Kavanaugh and Judge "would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs."

Avenatti told POLITICO he represents a group of individuals who can corroborate allegations involving Kavanaugh and his longtime friend in the 1980s.

Avenatti said he’d describe just one of the individuals as a victim.

“She will testify,” he said. “But before she does, she will likely appear on camera for an interview.”

He said the others were witnesses to the allegations. Avenatti would not elaborate on the number of clients but said he represents them alone.

“I represent multiple clients, they are witnesses. I’m representing multiple individuals that have knowledge of this, there’s no other attorneys involved,” Avenatti told POLITICO. Asked if the witnesses attended Georgetown Prep’s sister school, he said they went beyond that. “They went to schools in the same general areas. These house parties were widely attended.”

Wow that’s wild; thanks for the update. Can any other readers of this thread answer my second question?

Yes, by law they can nominate and confirm in the lame duck. As a practical matter, that remains to be seen. After all, kavanaugh was supposed to be easy.

I hope this Avenatti is not just yanking everyone's chain. It will damage the other witnesses if his party's claims don't hold up.

Won't the GOP want to go back and redo the background investigations on the next candidate just to avoid looking like they are complicit with another gang rapist?

You asked this already. Again: yes, of course, he can nominate a replacement before the election and the Senate can confirm before the new Senate is sworn in. Unusual? Yes. Legal? Yes.

Sure, but the new nominee will be a woman.

Thanks for that answer. If the Republicans lose the Senate in November, then things will get interesting re a second SCOTUS pick, assuming again that BK withdraws. If the GOP maintains Senate control, then I think they would try to push a new candidate through in December.
