Kavanaugh is on fire

[gwb-trading]

They just glance over the fact Ford came forward when he was short listed, not when he got the nomination, as if the Dems had a rape victim at the ready for each potential nominee.

I expect that the Democrats currently have a "rape victim" available for each potential nominee. They certainly purchased websites opposing each nominee at the time the short list came out. Very much preparations of an orchestrated smear campaign for each nominee.

Law enforcement interrogators learn that one of the key signs someone is being untruthful is when they go into elaborate explanations in answer to a simple question.

Think about that in terms of both Kavanaugh and Ford's responses today.

Yes, he was over-elaborating, overcompensating. Whether that alone means he's being untruthful is uncertain, but it is a cue.

Bill Cosby can list 100 women who he didn't rape

That many?

A "very far right religious nutjob" will end up on the supreme court.... I am willing to bet on it hard.

Well,you do have a track record with ideological bets...

Flake is on-board. He's a yes.

My comments from yesterday below:

==========================================
They will have at least one dem vote, Joe Manchin/sp and most likely more than one. Chances of getting a yes vote from Collins are good, or at least 50/50. Murkowski is unreliable. Flake is also unreliable and he hates trump and wants to even the score with him but for some reason I think he will vote for Kavanaugh. No logic to go with the gut feeling though.

Kavanaugh still has a good chance of being confirmed. It is not a great chance, but it is at least good.
=================================================

Praise the Lord, all those Nacho chips have not ruined my gut! Might have even helped.

This wasn't motivated by a difference of opinion you silly fuck, this is a political assassination of a mans character for no other god damn reason than you fucking lefties can't get over the fact...

...that Ford came forward with a compelling allegation. What, did the left fabricate her? Is she fake news? I wonder what the Right would have done if the shoe was on the other foot.

I am going to guess that if the shoe were on the other foot and the republicans had some dirt on a nominee that they could not wait to bring it before the committee hearing.

Compare that to the "Feinstein approach" where you save it for hit job after the hearings are over but are looking too good for the nominee.

So you are saying that Republicans never stooped so low during the Gorsuch hearing.

Well obviously not... the Republicans have some basic level of integrity. Something Democrats clearly lack.

Is that, like, a joke?

Jesuit magazine calls for Kavanaugh nomination to be withdrawn:

What, more "fake news?"

You are counting the sheep very early. ABA has an incredible weight in its opinion especially given the former jobs of many of the undecided Republican senators. A few hours will tell...

40 years ago this might have been accurate. The ABA however compromised its credibility and influence by becoming overtly political. They have essentially zero influence now in judicial confirmations. A relatively small percentage of lawyers even belong to this once prestigious group.
