Kavanaugh Confirmation

[BeecherVol]

The whole point is to be able to sell it that way so it can be turned into a wedge issue in November.

Exactly. They don't have to prove anything for it to be a big topic of the midterms.

 

[GAVol]

Agree that it already is. I'm not convinced of the foreknowledge of the Ramirez and Swetnick accusations, though.

Me either. Although the involvement of Michael Avenatti makes my BS detector explode.

 

[Stew Cook]

why am I guessing that this will be a recurring pattern. set up a chance to hear them. not enough information to believe them over K, new accuser that must be heard at the last minute, rinse repeat.

If someone new comes forward you know they are gonna want to push it back again, that doesn't necessitate complicity.

 

[T-TownVol]

So will tomorrow's hearing contain a parental advisory before it starts?

You are assuming that Ford shows up?

 

[NorthDallas40]

I'd not go as far as to say no way to corroborate, especially with Ramirez and Swetnick. Absolute proof may be unattainable, but I think they may get a chance to present their testimony.

Republicans pushing to hurry at this point looks worse than Democrats pushing to stall. IMO

Give them an opportunity to appear tomorrow. If they decline give them their parting gift and send them on their way.

Delay another week, accuser four comes out day before.

Delay yet another week, accuser five comes forth day before.

These “accusers” have zero exposure. They will continue ad infinitium. If the Repubs cave and delay they’ll start losing their base.

SCOTUS implications were a yuge bigly cornerstone of this election. Close the damn deal.

 

[Stew Cook]

Can you not see the democratic playbook here? Just when it was starting to get to a vote, after allowing Ford to testify, they trot out another "victim". This will go on for eternity. This is nothing more than an attempt to derail the Republicans ability to place members on the supreme Court. This has the potential to backfire on them and I hope it does.

You have your theory, it's in the realm of possibility. I just don't see that it's a foregone conclusion.

I understand the suspicions, but I'm not going to qualify a suspicion as a reason to conclude that three women are part of a broad conspiracy, no pun intended.

Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me. This is a hack job. If I were a democrat I'd be embarrassed.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I’m willing to do exactly that.

 

[NashVol11]

He's got a point. If there truly is a sexual predator on the loose, is there not an obligation to tell someone?

He really doesn’t have a point. It’s victim-blaming trash.

 

[evillawyer]

Oh snap. It's on like donkey Kong.

 

[Stew Cook]

Me either. Although the involvement of Michael Avenatti makes my BS detector explode.

Yeah, he seems to be polarizing, I've mentioned that I like the guy, not to say he doesn't deserve the same scrutiny of any other attorney.

[NorthDallas40]

Well Trump just laid into Avenatti based on an alert I just got. I’ll take that for now as a continuing statement of support for K.

 

[volfanjustin]

They aren't because for one they are scum and trash second it doesn't matter if true or not if it stops him from being confirmed then it's all good by them.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Mark Judge has denied the new allegation. And Trump called the creepy porn lawyer 3rd rate.

 

[lawgator1]

I'm not claiming anybody is lying. What I am claiming is that there's no way to view the timing as a remarkable coincidence. Nobody knew anything until it became a timing problem in the Senate.

Someone had to be the first to accuse Cosby. That all happened years before. And once someone came forward, other victims realized they could, and should, too.

I don't think this is all that unusual.

as he should

 

[LouderVol]

I understand the suspicions, but I'm not going to qualify a suspicion as a reason to conclude that three women are part of a broad conspiracy, no pun intended.

That same suspicion has been used to delay the hearings.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Oh snap. It's on like donkey Kong.

Lol. That’s just another day between them. And I guess that was the tweet the alert referred to.

But Trump is fixing to win round 2 RE the defamation case.

 

[Stew Cook]

Opinions vary, I'm not gonna change anyone's mind on this, and I'm not certain one way or another.

 

[Mick]

Is the Democrat political stunt having an effect on the members of congress? This is blackmail for him to withdraw or suffer the consequences of humiliation. He had his chance. I really thought he was going to cry during the FOX interview.

 

[FLVOL_79]

This is the type of thing that would have been tracked down in his FBI background check. I think he's clean here.

Nope. Its criminal history. I've had multiple ones. Submit a fingerprint and they check you against their database and other criminal databases. There are financial checks that are done but the reality is you just sign a paper saying you aren't in financial dire straits and the government goes OK!

 

[evillawyer]

Lol. That’s just another day between them. And I guess that was the tweet the alert referred to.

Just amazing the Trump is getting in the mud with Avenatti on twitter. Do we as a nation really want him to be focused on twitter wars as opposed to trade wars, NK, and the like?

 

[NashVol11]

SIAP, Swetnick’s statement is sworn under penalty of perjury.
