Kavanaugh Confirmation

CHUCK SCHUMER DEMANDS MITCH MCCONNELL APOLOGIZE TO BLASEY FORD

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer insisted Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issue an apology to Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct more than 35 years ago.

“Leader McConnell owes an apology to Dr. Ford for labeling her allegations ‘a smear job’ and he should apologize to her immediately,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor. “It is galling for the Republican leader who has done more than maybe anyone else to politicize the Supreme Court nomination process to make these trumped-up, hyperbolic charges of partisanship by Democrats.”

Kavanaugh accuser Ford asks Senate to limit press access for hearing

Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers have asked senators to limit the press who will be allowed in the room to cover Thursday’s hearing with her and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and sought to dictate at least some of the outlets.



Coverage is one of a number of issues Ms. Blasey Ford’s lawyers are negotiating with Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Michael Bromwich said in emails sent Tuesday afternoon that he was requesting access for three “robocams,” three specific wire services, photographers from the Associated Press, Reuters and one unspecified service, and a pool reporter for newspapers and magazines. In a follow-up email he specified that the robocams should be operated by “the CSPAN TV pool,” and said he also wanted space for a radio reporter.

Those emails were among several seen by The Washington Times detailing the tense negotiations between Ms. Blasey Ford’s team and committee staff.

While committees sometimes limit press based on space at hearings, and some witnesses have arranged to have their identities shielded, longtime Capitol Hill watchers struggled to think of precedent for a witness dictating terms of press coverage.

She has agreed to testify but has laid out a number of parameters and is objecting to some of Republicans’ plans.
One major sticking point is the GOP’s plans to use a female lawyer hired specifically for this hearing to ask questions on behalf of the Republican senators. That lawyer will question both Judge Kavanaugh and Ms. Blasey Ford, according to one email from Mike Davis, the chief counsel for nominations to Chairman Chuck Grassley.

Wait, weren't we told by a poster in this thread that the Montgomery County Police were investigating some claim against K? It was suggested this was another person with an accusation.

“At this time, the Montgomery County Police Department has not received a request by any alleged victim nor a victim’s attorney to initiate a police report or a criminal investigation regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh,” the police said in a statement.

from the story posted (Washington Times).

So we are back to 2. Ford and Ramirez. Ramirez refuses to testify under oath. Yet to see if Ford does so. Zero corroborating witnesses.

I assuming the gang rape/train conductor allegations will not come out in any form that is investigable.
 
Just hold that thought because when it’s time to replace RBG I’m going to ask you which is being despicable . You know and everybody else knows it’s going to be the most despicable “ hearing “ in history . It’s going to be interesting watching how the left will flip around and go after a woman .
Hopefully a minority woman.
 
And they were right. She beat him by 3 million votes.

But he won the key 70,000 mouth breathers he needed to in a few states and threaded the needle. Much to everoyne's surprise, including his.
Thank God and the Founding Fathers for wisdom that will transcend the ages.
 
Committee is now scheduled to vote on Kavanaugh on Friday morning
That is just the judiciary committee. The full Senate vote will probably drag out until Tuesday. Why? I have no idea. I think it should be Saturday morning before football starts.
 
I'm being told that Collins is a yes. If accurate. This thing is all but over.

Keeps raising that bar.
 
A woman with 5 biological children and two adopted. The Dems are already lining up the men that will say at least three of them are theirs and that she used her judicial power in the adoption.

They will make way worse on a Conservative woman.
She's a judge with 7 children, id like to see dems take her on...i wish them luck. She'll be the next after Kavanaugh.☺️
 

“The last thing I will point out, the next person who refers to an FBI report as being worth anything, obviously doesn’t understand anything. FBI explicitly does not, in this or any other case, reach a conclusion, period. Period,” Biden said. “The reason why we cannot rely on the FBI report [is] you would not like it if we did because it is inconclusive. They say, ‘He said, she said, and they said. Period.”
“So when people wave an FBI report before you, understand they do not, they do not reach conclusions,” Biden said.
