Going to be hard to distinguish SCOTUS judges pretty soon. Are you talking about the rapist, the sexual harasser, or Merrick Garland’s mugger? Anyway, glad that for the first time Dems are using live ammunition. Have been the party of no-fight pansies for way too long. As we've said for the last year, it is trench warfare. Burn this presidency to the ground by any means necessary.

She is very very credible.
He has left himself very little or no wiggle room at all with his absolute denial.
I'm not sure why he just didn't admit that he made some stupid mistakes when he was in High School and College. Most of us did.
It is plain to see that he was not the choir boy he makes himself out as. He was the typical rich spoiled kid frat house boy.
His lies to the Senate will do him in. Heck, he might even face impeachment from the Court of Appeals.

Every single republican elected official deserves to, at the very least, lose their job and never be allowed to provide for their family(s) ever again.

This unfair and orchestrated process is owned by the Democrats (See Feinstein) who camped on the info until it was convenient to out it. Lindsey Grahame was right - if the Democrats wanted the truth and an FBI investigation, they could have had brought these accusations up during the Judge's vetting.
No facts, other than her own, are on Dr. Ford's side to corroborate her story of the event. Judge Kavanaugh DID have evidence to corroborate his story, however. If Kavanaugh was the raucous and irresponsible 17 year old as described by her, he would have bragged about his conquests and everyone would have known it was him - but no such corroboration exists. She may have been assaulted but doubtful it was by him.
For the Democrats, it is all about power. The only purpose for the "FBI investigation" being called for by the Democrats is to delay and nothing else. They want a Senate majority brought by the 2018 elections in order to thwart Trump for the remainder of his term. "By any means possible" could not be any more relevant here. I'm sure this play was well considered and coordinated. In fact, Dr. Ford was seeming to be lying about why or why she couldn't fly to DC. As a matter of fact, I think Dr. Ford is part of the overall scheme for delay and had to lie about it for all to see. Can fly to Hawaii but afraid to fly to DC....hmmm. Look for this story to be tuned up later.
For today's hearing, it seems to me everyone heard what they wanted to hear. The strange thing is that the side that does not carry the day in the vote tomorrow and in the full Senate will actually do better for it in the mid-terms.
I'm hoping that the GOP votes on his nomination as a signal to the Democrats that their schemes to personally destroy potential judicial candidates (See Bork, Thomas, Gonzalez, Kavanaugh) will not go down easily. I'm glad it will not be delayed. I hope he gets confirmed. If not, some Democrat Senators in Red States will have to torpedo him - good luck with that Senators Donnelly, Manchin and Tester.

Trump has completely decimated the Republican Party. Nothing more than a collection of trash at this point. In fairness, it started in the 2000s, but how does it end? Right wing media riles up the base, the base riles up the electeds, and the electeds rile up the right wing media. The cycle starts over again. It’s a cycle that has taken the Party and it’s adherents to a very dark and ultimately dangerous place.

Democrat Senator Booker said that Judge Kavanaugh's nomination was "evil" long before any allegations surfaced. He was nothing more than a well respected and dutiful public servant at that point. There is nothing lower than these power hungry buffoons. Have you noticed how these idiots have actually tried to injected race as a significant item in this fiasco? Going as low as a possible as fast as possible.

The hearing today was to address the allegations made by Dr. Ford. Evidently, all necessary investigations of those allegations have been completed to the satisfaction of the committee majority. Therefore, we can only make our decisions based upon the testimony of the 2 witnesses. Dr. Ford was clear and consistent in her replies to questions. She seemed very credible. Kavanaugh constantly evaded questions and seemed particularly uncomfortable whenever the incident alleged by Dr. Ford was raised. Overall, Dr. Ford was more credible than Judge Kavanaugh.
After viewing Judge Kavanaugh's comportment during the hearing and after the wild conspiracy theory he voiced in his statement I am concerned as to whether he should be a Supreme Court Justice.

Why do people say Dr. Ford was consistent when she was shown to have no fear of flying except when it impacted the timeliness of the investigation by the Judiciary committee? Google "Dr. Ford" and "inconsistencies" and a number of articles appear. Perhaps partisan in nature but its all in the eye of the beholder in this case, it seems.

Picture getting accused of a crime. The person states that their was four other people at the scene. All four have no recollection. But it doesn't matter because you have been accused of a crime. You are guilty....

Republicans have no morals and have bowed to the king. The likely scenario is Mike-Call his wife Mom-Pence breaking a 50-50 tie. The court goes from tarnished after Garland to degraded beyond repair with this rapey drunk.
If we were sliding towards authoritarianism, I wonder what purpose a degraded judicial branch would serve.
I wonder what the hurry is. Might it have something to do with Gamble v. US? Nahhhhh of course not.

You wouldn't think that way if you were being accused... (I'm pretty sure they are sworn and signed declarations) And maybe you won't feel that way if they collaborated her testimony?

Coming from the man that wants to deny a leaders of a certain party the ability to feed their family..... Yeah, I fear the left right now, much more than the right.

Consider that Dr. Ford threw her lifelong friend Leland Keyser under the bus as having health issues for corroborating Judge Kavanaugh's account more than hers.
I guess that is consistent to someone somehow?

Did you see how Senator Feinstein actually had to throw Dr. Ford under the bus saying that it must have been Dr. Ford herself who leaked her own confidental letter? So Diane...according to you...Dr. Ford lied to you about wanting to remain anonymous?
