It's sickening how it's all whether he could be convicted based on the allegation(s), when it's clear he belongs on Fox, and he has about ~20 confirmed perjuries (with documentary evidence!).
In my opinion, here's the thing. Let's remove whether or not he's guilty of the act or not.
It's pretty clear (and has been corroborated) that he lied under oath during that interview. It's pretty clear he hardly has an even temperament for that matter too - certainly not one befitting of a Supreme Court Justice. There are 24 more judges on that recommended list. He should be dropped and one of the other 24 should be nominated.
Corroborated by who? I'd like to see this claim.In my opinion, here's the thing. Let's remove whether or not he's guilty of the act or not.

"FACT is a much newer creation, organized in 2014 as a conservative counterweight to watchdog groups viewed as more left-of-center, such as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The newer outfit took its first public action about a year ago when it filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Democratic voter data firm Catalist.Money is money, even if it allegedly comes from "small donors".

FBI has not contacted dozens of potential sources in Kavanaugh investigation
More than 40 people with potential information into the sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh have not been contacted by the FBI, according to multiple sources that include friends of both the nominee and his accusers.
Unless those folks are voting members of the US Senate why would I care? You care about those numbers, not me. All they do is reinforce my already low opinion of the highly partisan and biased educators in our Colleges and Universities. Keep up the running count though and try to get some actual names of real people I can check out.Thanks.
What do you mean so what? He admitted to drinking - that should be that, trying to ascertain whether or not he was ever blackout drunk without anybody recollecting a specific admission from Kavanaugh himself does not make him a liar.
Is this really what passes for a SCOTUS confirmation hearing now? Is this really what we want. You are actually now dismissing entirely the claims of Ford "So what" you said, and are focusing on college drinking habits. Holy shit.
Why would they? They already have hours of her testimony along with her letters . Democratic Senators had plenty of opportunity to ask her anything they wanted the same day as the extra supplemental investigation began. The Senators also asked her if there was anything, anything at all she wanted to add and she said "No". She testified under oath that she had nothing more to say.they didn't even interview Dr Ford.
wtfbbq?!
It's a blatant and gross power play by the GOP.
THOROUGH?? What a load of horse shit! How can it be thorough when Kavanaugh's freshman roommate was not contacted??Collins: "It appears to be a very thorough investigation"
What a joke!
Damn, media sucks btw. It's always "The Democrats say this, the Republicans say that." They need to call the Republicans out on this sham.

Awww, too bad that Harry Reid (D) started the nuke thing.It has been from the day McConnell changed the rules.
They only investigated credible and current allegations.THOROUGH?? What a load of horse shit! How can it be thorough when Kavanaugh's freshman roommate was not contacted??

They were only allowed to investigate what the WH told them they could. And Trump blatantly lied about that.They only investigated credible and current allegations.
No, he said "I'm a virgin choirboy who drank occasionally. None of that is true.What do you mean so what? He admitted to drinking - that should be that, trying to ascertain whether or not he was ever blackout drunk without anybody recollecting a specific admission from Kavanaugh himself does not make him a liar.

It is frankly really weird that people are trying to argue that Kavanaugh clearly lying on multiple occasions under oath about his drinking habits has no bearing on whether or not he's lying about sexually assaulting people while drunk.
He's lying about them for an obvious reason - he fears that admitting to those drinking habits will make Ford's accusation more credible. I think rational people think lying under oath to make accusations of felonies less credible is a pretty important thing.
Like I said: Senator Flake's agreement was that the FBI would investigate credible and current allegations and it would be limited in scope and time. It was.They were only allowed to investigate what the WH told them they could.

You make the claims, but never substantiate them.It doesn't even matter. The fact that he did lie is enough to disqualify him. What he lied about & why is immaterial.
Kavanaugh should be familiar with the principle from the Whitewater investigation he participated in 20 years ago where a single lie from Bill Clinton nearly removed him from the Presidency. Kavanaugh has lied a Helluva lot more than that.
His freshman year roommate.Corroborated by who? I'd like to see this claim.
And Trump lied and said they had free rein to investigate.Like I said: Senator Flake's agreement was that the FBI would investigate credible and current allegations and it would be limited in scope and time. It was.
I'm in the general agreeance that his behavior during the testimony (and interviews) is what should condemn him. Just based on his general unprofessional behavior - let alone if he lied under oath or not.
However - The other items have no basis, facts, or real credibility. Everyone here drank in high school and college (well, 99% at least, we are talking about a nerd forum). Everyone here has also likely had one night where you blacked out or simply was unable to remember what happened the previous night. Thinking that a political figure is holier than thou is downright pathetic. If actions from when you were a kid growing up in life was grounds for not hiring you most people here would never be employed
