I figure that the GOP will cut & run with the committee vote on Monday. Flake or Hatch would be perfect for the job of flipping to vote with the Dems & killing the whole thing. They're both retiring & everybody knows Hatch was born with a stick up his ass, anyway.
It took Obama* to make me realize how rampant racism still was in the US. And now because of Trump, I am realizing how many people seem to approve of sexual assault.That's all you got? Two people consensually making out, Cory grabs boob, she pushes it away and he stops?
Really? You are comparing that to grabbing a girl into a room and forcing yourself on her, she tries to scream, you cover her mouth and don't let her leave?
You really have the nerve to compare the two??
Seriously?
I think he is done either way. Do you think the Senate will actually bring women in, question them about getting gang raped, then confirm the guy they said did it? I know republican have no morals, and party before country, but I don't see them going forward with this if women actually come forward with gang rape acquisitions.WTF, if any of this is true, Kavanaugh is toast for SURE
That CNN "panel" of R women saying they basically expect this of young men is certainly among the most dangerous ideas to come out of this farce so far. Disgusting, too.It took Obama* to make me realize how rampant racism still was in the US. And now because of Trump, I am realizing how many people seem to approve of sexual assault.
*The reaction to Obama, not Obama himself.

I agree with that, but there are very few elections they could win with just their base.I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I think this tweet says a lot about why they continue to push so hard for this guy.

I think a problem with the whole #MeToo movement is that much of it lacked graphic details. So people are able to downplay what actually happened in their heads. Just like the idiot in this thread that thinks going for second base twice is the same as the attempted rape of Ford.That CNN "panel" of R women saying they basically expect this of young men is certainly among the most dangerous ideas to come out of this farce so far. Disgusting, too.

I'm sure the senate will try to not hold a vote. But if it is forced, I don't see them approving if women actually come in and say they were gang raped.Actually the funny thing is, it's not in the Senate's hands really (outside of holding a vote). Either Kavanaugh has to drop out on his own or the Whitehouse has to withdraw him. Trump could be batshit crazy enough to hold out for Kavanaugh because he knows he could count on his vote if he ever gets in legal trouble. That and he probably sees him as a kindered spirit considering the avalanche of sexual assault allegations coming out against him now.

The Senate could also refuse to hold a vote, which would effectively kill the nomination.
I know the new story has you folks in circle jerk mode. But the statement sometime in 1983 or 1984 school year should have put your warning flags up. A drunk girl that can't even remember the year something happens knows, just knows that it was Supreme Court Nominee Kavanaugh after 6 days of memory consulting with her lawyer ......yes
"After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney"
We'll see how it turns out.
No, even if it fails in Committee he can still be voted on with the full Senate.As I offered earlier, Kavanaugh still has to pass a vote of the judiciary committee. A single defection would kill it w/o any testimony or addl voting.
No, even if it fails in Committee he can still be voted on with the full Senate.

Screw you, you ignorant dipshit.Math is another one your weaknesses, isn't it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bork_Supreme_Court_nomination
On October 6, Bork's nomination was rejected in the committee by a 9–5 vote.[18] Since a committee rejection made a rejection by the full (Democratic) Senate extremely likely, Bork was widely expected to concede defeat and withdraw his name from a floor consideration.[15] However, three days later, Bork announced his belief that:
There should be a full debate and a final Senate decision. In deciding on this course, I harbor no illusions. But a crucial principle is at stake. That principle is the way we select the men and women who guard the liberties of all the American people. That should not be done through public campaigns of distortion. If I withdraw now, that campaign would be seen as a success, and it would be mounted against future nominees. For the sake of the Federal judiciary and the American people, that must not happen. The deliberative process must be restored.[19]
Faced with certain defeat, Bork's political support fell silent; Bork would even express disappointment with Reagan's tepid continued endorsement. On October 23, 1987, the Senate rejected Bork's confirmation, with 42 Senators voting in favor and 58 voting against. Democratic Senator"

I don't understand what you mean.Are any of these rat fuckers not the victim?
I'd be surprised if any Supreme Court Nominee from now on is going to have this kind of sexual smear thrown at them.Fine, so let's take Kavaugh out of the running and replace him with someone else. ANY candidate put forward is going to be subject to a smear campaign. To the left, the end justifies the means. There will never be a right candidate chosen by this administration, in their eyes. So, smear away, but I hope it all comes back to bite them. If this is the norm, we can kiss the republic goodbye. Disgusting, but I'm not surprised in the least. This shit is playbook.
