Really? Who really cares what someone did in high school? Your favorite President was stoned out his butt in high school. Everyone has some dumb shit stunt from their childhood. The question that matters what's the guy done in his adult life, specially what's he done on the bench. There the guy has an exemplary career. Time to vote the man into SCOTUS.
Looks like Flake's gonna be a "Nay" until further notice. That'll keep it locked in Committee right? Plus now Graham wants to hear more too. Optics. I don't see a vote happening Thursday now. "Senator [Charles] Grassley (R-Iowa) must postpone the vote until, at a very minimum, these serious and credible allegations are thoroughly investigated," Schumer said in a statement. http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/406940-flake-says-he-is-not-comfortable-voting-yes-on-kavanaugh
Do you remember the Michelle Fields allegations against Corey Lewandowski at Mar A Lago of all places? Thanks to video cameras, her lies were exposed. The judge in the case noted that in a room full of people, if someone brushed against you, it is not assault! It is incidental contact! Yet, women political hacks including, so called conservatives on Fox raked Corey Lewandowski over the coals and pronounced him guilty! When he was exonerated and charges dropped by the judge for lack of merit, did a single woman political hack apologize to Corey Lewandowski? No one did! That is after they damaged his reputation and tried him in public before the evidence was even reviewed?
No, the point is he said “even if true means nothing”. Attempted rape is not nothing. Wonder how would he feel if it was his daughter. I am not saying one bit that Kavanaugh is guilty, just if it is true, it is actually a HUGE deal.
It is a big deal of true however if he has a history of being "rapey" then others may come forward. Her account has a ring to it. Many of the trumpers here think this is a people in glass houses scenario for most men because they are guilty and/or stupid as usual.
Make no mistake about the power that this political weapon has. Right now those senators who are on the bubble are gauging the political winds and reading the tea leaves. Over the next 2-3 days, maybe less, if they determine that a vote to confirm may cost them their precious spot at the government trough they'll fold like the empty suits that they are. We are well entrenched in the allegations are facts era of governing and Feinstein, along with the rest of her leftist comrades in government know that those on the other side of the isle are just as much a bunch of self centered, self interested assholes just like they are. They'll vote whichever way they see as safe to protect themselves. Right now it's better than an even money bet that republicans at a minimum fall for the delay the vote tactic, and don't be surprised if they fold their hand completely.
Midterm elections coming soon. I suggest everyone send a twit to their Senators to move along the confirmation process of Judge Kavanaugh. Let the Democrats file suit in court if they wish. Absent a hold order from any judge, the confirmation process of Judge Kavanaugh must proceed! If Senators know we are watching their actions, they would be less inclined to just give in to the Democrats considering their constituents are telling them to move the votes forward!
It has to get out of the Senate Judicial Committee first. 11R's & 10D's. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members If Flake flips... forget about it.
