Brett Kavanaugh

[SHAFT]

Please quote all 4 of the witnesses that Dr Ford called out by name.

Which one actually collaborated her story.. be specific.

PROTIP: This doesn't mean her best friend, who didn't remember this party that changed her best friend's life forever.. but believes Dr. Ford because they are BFF.

You lie.

It was, however, in the epic clash over the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford that the collapse of conservatism in the Republican Party became most evident. Eleven men, most of them old, hid behind a female prosecutor wheeled in from Arizona because they could not, apparently, trust themselves to treat a victim of sexual assault with consideration and respect. So much for courage. Their anger at Democratic shenanigans was understandable, but virtually without exception, when they did summon up the nerve to speak (during Kavanaugh’s turn) their questions consisted almost exclusively of partisan baying at the opposition. Genuine conservatives might have snarled initially, but would, out of regard for the truth, tried to figure out exactly what happened to Ford 35 years ago, and whether the character of the man before them was what it was said to be.

Perhaps the collapse of modern conservatism came out most clearly in Kavanaugh’s own testimony—its self-pity, its hysteria, its conjuring up of conspiracies, its vindictiveness.

This is from an article by a conservative title, "The Republican Party Abandons Conservatism". It's a scathing piece from a lifelong conservative expressing his view of the collapse of his own party that has not only lost it's way when it comes to fiscal policy but has now "...abandoned most of its beliefs in fidelity and character when it embraced a liar, cheat, and philanderer as its nominee and then as president."

This appears to be a positive development. Now we can discard the artificially imposed 1 week background and do the thing until it's done right.

NBC News incorrectly reported (as usual) that I was limiting the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh, and witnesses, only to certain people. Actually, I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion. Please correct your reporting!

The Senate said they are postponing a week. They don't have to wait for it to be completely finished before they vote and a week was what they asked for.

What point are you making? If you're just clarifying what was said on Friday for people who may not know, then that's cool too, but I'm thinking you're trying to express something different.

...and trump's walking it back with his sassy little pop culture references.

"Just starting to hear the Democrats, who are only thinking Obstruct and Delay, are starting to put out the word that the 'time' and 'scope' of FBI looking into Judge Kavanaugh and witnesses is not enough," Trump wrote on Twitter.
"Hello! For them, it will never be enough - stay tuned and watch!" he added.

You said we were "discarding the artificially imposed 1 week" We aren't. The vote is delayed 1 week, and no more, regardless of the FBI continuing to investigate.

Ya I get that. And it probably will hold there at one week. Then again, it may not. We have already seen public pressure move this thing. We got to hear Ford's testimony because of it. Got to see Brett lose his shit over it and we got the FBI investigation which was said to be impossible. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

I think they are voting regardless. I imagine the Dems want it to vote with an incompletel investigation, because that might make a couple Republicans vote against Kavanaugh, because other wise, he is going to be confirmed.
