You believe that, or are you just towing the rhetorical line? Do you think these women should be heard, or nah?

Nope. Why should they? Or are we all supposed to hear them and believe them just because they are women? Sounds kind of sexist.. A fake made up story is still fake and made up no matter what the gender.

I am even willing to bet this new chick is a democrat and connected to some political circles through activism..

I do believe that. The standards for assassinating someone's character is extremely low. There's no way to corroborate any of these stories and there is no negative to coming up with a untrue story. All we have with any of these stories is "this happened". No dates, no place, no witnesses other than the accusers. One accuser claims that she witnessed this over several years yet kept coming back to the parties and eventually was a victim? Never telling anyone in authority, never the police, never a teacher, never a parent? This stinks like the steaming pile of crap it is.

I say politics from the beginning. If DiFi gave a damn about the allegations, she'd have brought them up during the hearings rather than using them to muck up the process.

There's a better argument for Feinstein using Ford as you describe. I'm not saying it is absolutely the case, but very possible.

he got a substantial raise, his wife started working again, there was some type of backpay renumeration and the family helped. All from the coverage at the time it was being floated he was laundering money for the mob due to gambling debt. Thankyou Sen Whitehouse.

I really cannot keep all of this straight. You guys keep claiming that these women are all lying and that they've been goaded into doing this by Democrats. Seems to me that if that were true there'd be some evidence of that, given the broad scope of all of these statements and claims.

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

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.

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

I can't keep straight if there's much of ANYTHING that could be considered much in the way of "evidence" anywhere in this mess.

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.

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.

so when are the Dems going to start the impeachment proceedings against him to get him off the DC court?

If they believe all this about him isn't it their duty to remove him?

Why am I betting if they successfully defeat the nomination they will take no further action.

They wouldn't have the votes in the house for one. At least not yet. And making a case before the house for high crimes and misdemeanors will be more difficult than just deciding what to believe here for purposes of an up or down vote. Even if a person believes there's only a 20% chance he did these things, that may be enough for the person to say I'm not risking it on this nominee.
