DEMOCRATIC Sen. Booker and Sen. Maize Hirono are TWO OF THE BIGGEST DOUCHE BAGS I HAVE EVER WITNESSED
IN A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING...

KAVANAUGHS IS GETTING RUN OUT ON A RAIL
"IN A QUASI ILLEGAL PUBLIC TRIAL" WHICH HOLDS NO
LEGAL BEARING ON ANYTHING...

THIS ADNAUSEUM DISPLAY OF TOTAL BULLCRAP WILL
BE STUDIED FOR DECADES IN EVERY LAW SCHOOL IN THE NATION...

Please elaborate. I didn't see anything that caused me to think "this guy is toast", curious to what it was that you saw that makes you think that.

Kavanaugh's opening was powerful and compelling...he and Ford both appear credible...doubt if any new "facts" or "truths"
will result from this process...

I agree with rfenst that Kavanaugh's demeanor when answering questions posed by dems was not a good look for someone who aspires to the highest court in our land. He was belligerently evasive, non-responsive, argumentative to the point of contempt and generally dismissive of the process. He did not display judicial temperament. That won't matter to the party in power or to their base...but maybe independents were turned off...

It was a turning point when Graham insisted on using his own five minutes, effectively shutting down the GOP's hired gun. After Graham, Mitchell was not allowed to ask any further questions of Kavanaugh. Why? because she was behaving like a prosecutor, asking Kavanaugh questions about the incident like a prosecutor would, and the GOP did not want that to continue...

wonder if cons who usually belittle libs for crying under stress will hold that against Kavanaugh...I doubt it, since it doesn't seem as though anyone will change their minds...he'll likely be confirmed with the slimmest of margins, prolly with Pence's vote, along party lines...

^^^ you may be right delta ^^^

I wrote my "toast" post only seeing Ford's testimony.
I had not seen any of KAVANAUGHS except at the very end
And that was by all democrats where he was evasive.

After seeing his midday testimony...I started to think differently THAN MY "TOAST POST"...I think he "might" get in by one vote....

And that WILL BE PENCE...

IF THE REPUBLICANS DELAY THIS VOTE IT WILL NEVER PASS...

The republicans are all breathing a SIGH of relief that
Arizona SEN. McCain is not around anymore...HIS THUMBS DOWN WOULD KIBOSH THIS SCOTUS ENTIRE VOTE...like his thumbs down on healthcare ( which I whole heartedly agreed with him because republican health plans were WAY WORSE, COVERED WAY LESS AND COSTED WAY MORE).

I watched the whole thing, he did try to put his point across on the first one... and on the second, after that it just became tedious. The leftists clearly had a plan of attack, and their plan was to try to get him to ask for an FBI investigation and to use it against him if he did not. As I stated, he does not have the authority to do so, nor should he be obliged to do so.

If you think otherwise, then their strategy worked on you.

I disagree, I think he intervened because someone had to call BS on that dirty tactic. The leftists clearly had a plan of attack and they all conformed to it. In my eyes, it was so painfully obvious that they didn't GAF about finding answers, they didn't GAF about Ford, the only thing they cared about is trying to stall the vote.

Then why didn't they let the prosecutor continue to ask questions on behalf of the GOP members, as originally planned...finding answers?

I'm having a hard time with this conversation....

Your asking me why they didn't let the prosecutor keep asking questions when my response was to why I felt like they intervened.

It's getting a bit redundant at this point...

Everyone knew there would be nothing new. Nothing to prove or disprove the claims.

The only reason to continue this course of action, therefore, is to create divisiveness.

Mission accomplished.

This is a huge win for the democrats as we approach midterms.

Kavanaugh gets approved, but Ford becomes the "every woman" for their cause.

Two credible people. She said, he said. Nothing proved either way.

If the Democrats wanted an investigation they would have called for long ago. Not on the eve of a vote. This is nothing but a polotical a hit job.

Cavanaugh has already been the subject of 6 prior investigations. At least was done for him to have access to the nuclear codes years ago. The FBI certainly did through investigations then. If nothing was found then, do we really thing the 7th time will be the charm?

We should all be disgusted by the way Senate Democrats have handled this just to keep a seat open.

One thing is for sure. The Dems have taken a big gamble. This could backfire so bad that the Republicans may pick up more than a handful of Democratic seats if the voters in moderate districts vote against them in the mid terms.

Anthony, I think this is all about mid terms and very little about sexual assault. This is being tried in the court of public opinion. In my opinion nothing has occurred that will change the minds of hard core republicans and hard core democrats. Little has occurred to change the mind of conservative republicans and conservative democrats. What is in play is the independent voters. The republicans and the democrats are both risking all. The entire dog and pony show is disgusting. Let's be honest here, Kavanaugh will get voted in. Republicans will vote for him and democrats will vote against him. There is a small possibility that a democrat in a red state could vote for him. There is a small possibility that Collins, Murkowski, or Flake could vote against him.

11old white guys..?? Why is race being brought up..??

Never mind.. not really looking for an answer.. it's obvious..

They're also trying to turn the black community against him..

I do agree that it won’t change the minds of base voters. But, that’s irrelevant as they aren’t the ones who determine the winners and losers. The fight is for the swing vote.

The Dems and their proxies have made screwed up royally. Their “star” witness gave the names of four people who would corroborate her story, but the didn’t. They actually compromised her case. Her grasp of the facts are cloudy at best.

I stand by my earlier statement. I think the Republicans will pick up seats in the midterms.

Why am I up?

Is that the same stuff that's turning the penguins gay?

Damn it, I want to know what's turning the penguins gay!!!

Hollywood and Global warming..

Chem trails dude

The recent silence on this thread by those on the left is deafening.

The facts couldn’t be clearer that this allegation is a hit job. Where’s the outrage?

Mr. Kavanaugh was mistaken...he thought he was auditioning for a Bar Fight, not for the country's Highest Bar...


My comment about the 11 old white guys was a reference back to my opinion that this was shaping up to be Thomas v Hill II, and that was the descriptive takeaway by media analysts immediately following the "Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas" hearings, and was a theory about why the GOP majority on the Judiciary Committee chose to relinquish their opportunity to query Ford. Instead they wanted a female prosecutor to do that so they could avoid the appearance of "11 old white guys ganging up on a female witness."

dammit. I wrote two responses already and both got f-ed with my internet.

I'm happy about this. He'll get confirmed and it will be hilarious.

I used up all my outrage when Garland didn't get his vote...none left for the Kavanator.
