Remind your D's not to accept smoothies from Jason Miller...

Oh, and Dr. Ford is going to show. It will be very interesting.

Yes, she should bring her police report of the incident along with all the eye witnesses and collaborating evidence.

Absurd. You, like racist Joe, simply don't understand or are willfully stupid.

A confirmation hearing is about suitability for the job and getting enough Senators to confirm you. That is why Merrick Garland, despite not having any proved or even alleged illegalities, was not confirmed: He couldn't get the votes in the Senate.

DKE Kav, right now, likely does not have the votes, or Grassley and McCreeper would shut this down. Or, at the very least, they believe the accusations (and other evidence) will prove damning enough that it will hurt GOP congress candidates in Nov.

If there was nothing here, and Grassley and McCreeper were confident of no fallout, they would hold the vote. But there is absolutely 0 precedent that executive branch nominees must be given judicial level due process for confirmation. Not getting promoted from a federal judgeship to Scotus is in no way the same as taking a person's liberty or causing financial pain (ie. fines.) To not understand that is to be, truly, as dumb as a rock.

There are three votes of concern here. The first is the committee recommendation vote - bet on 11-10 win for K unless Ford has surprises or he fumbles his response testimony. Then there is the confirmation vote in the Senate. I assume that McC will have a firm count of votes and will not allow it to proceed unless K will win. Then there is the November vote, when voters nationwide will remember the results of this little psychology experiment.

Don't need to.

She just hired a fairly well regarded attorney out of the SDNY.

This will be simple for the simpletons. Collins and Murkowski think they can weather this (or don't care about re-election) or they don't.

RNC (of Broidy/Cohen fame)/Federalists/Kochs/Mercers will either think the price of DKE Kav confirmation is too high or they won't.

Barrett or Lee would be my bet, if I was a betting man who needed mysterious donors to pay off my gambling debts... sorry for getting so hot.

You are the one that doesn't understand. You arrogant piece of shit.
The only thing this man has going against him is that Trump nominated him...

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh is “well qualified” to hold a seat on the Supreme Court, the American Bar Association said Friday, giving President Trump’s nominee another boost heading into next week’s confirmation hearing.

The ABA’s federal judiciary committee gave its unanimous rating to Judge Kavanaugh, who has sat for a dozen years on the circuit court of appeals in Washington, earning high marks for his approach to judging.

Though conservatives don’t put as much stock in the rating from the liberal-leaning ABA, Democrats have called it the “gold standard” for evaluating whether a judge should be confirmed.

The rating is based on peer reviews and evaluations, and judges candidates on their integrity, professional competence and judicial temperament. It does not consider ideology, philosophy or political affiliation.

A spokesperson from the ABA will testify at Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing about his evaluation next Friday.

ABA also gave Mr. Trump’s first nominee to the high court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch a unanimous well-qualified rating.

You seem triggered.

You're a dim bulb and you're short tempered.

So you make me laugh a lot.

Thanks!
 
At the end of the day:

Will any of the 10 or so "red state Dems" and "blue/swing state GOP" actually want to vote on this?

My guess is, absent some serious damage to Dr. Ford's cred, they cut bait here.

But who knows?

So we have become so PC that all one has to do to ruin a persons reputation or deny them a position on the SCOTUS is accuse them of malfeasance.
No proof necessary, just make an accusation...something Joe McCarthy would understand.

I'll bet the FBI could get to the bottom of this.

It's their duty to investigate the background of Presidential appointments (but, obviously, not if they are told to stay away).

Also, according to several news reports, the FBI is investigating her claim of death threats directed at her and her family. Imaginary question - "Dr. Ford, why do you think these threats were made?"

Sounds like something right out of the t, fascist-light playbook. It's what you people do.

The Republican Party is already the political favorite of the American neo-nazis. It looks like the Republican leaders have less than a week to figure out how to engineer the Party's survival beyond the next two elections.

I really held out some hope for the TEA Party as a modern replacement for the entrenched Alphonse-Gaston duopoly in which American political leadership had become enmired when it was first formed but before it was taken over by the usual gang of demagogues and idiots.
