Video of McConnell speech at the link.
I do to. I also think he’s done some good work with the other judge nominations.
There are many vacancies, and there are many people nominated at the present time though.
Where’s the wall Mitch?
Ryan, where’s the wall?
The hearings were over. This is well past midnight.
Steely Republican leader??????
McConnell needs to be driven out of the senate. He’s a farking disgrace. The only reason why those pieces of living sh!t, the repubikans, steeled their spines against Garland is because they KNEW Scalia was pillowed. Offed.
I stopped reading at “David Axelrod.”
Not at all similar. He didn't "destroy" Garland's nomination with extremely vague allegations of sexual misconduct when he was in high school, he blocked it. "Elections have consequences"-Barack Obama.
Dear CNN, no the GOP Senate majority is not in jeopardy.
If you think the democrats antics vis-a-vis Kavanaugh are not going to serve as motivation to the GOP voter, then you are deluded.
True. But if the GOP keeps bending over backwards so to not
alienate female voters regarding the Kavanaugh accuser, they
will soon begin to alienate the bass voters such as myself.
Very soon, Grassley will have to make a choice.
Offend a portion of female voters or offend a large portion of
GOP base voters.
Is he really surprised and upset that the dems waited ‘til the last minute to drop a dirty trick bomb? Has he paid any attention to politics over the last 25 years? It’s like getting mad that a shark bit you. It’s what they do!

13th hour
Two defining moments have arisen this week:
1) The GOP has to get Kananaugh to the finish line without further delays and perversion of the approval process. Permitting Democrats to derail the nomination of a highly qualified and honorable candidate will set a terrible precedent. The GOP often caves, but caving on this matter would be disastrous for them and the country.
2) Trump drew a red line when he ordered the immediate release of the declassified documents. Defying that order is subversion that cannot be tolerated. To do so would be tantamount to approving the existence of a fourth branch of government.
Failure in either case is not an option. Neither the GOP controlled senate or the president can afford this kind of devastating loss of credibility. Both must stand tall and do what’s right. There is no other alternative.
13th hour! Mac can’t tell time, because this crap came out AFTER the hearings were finished.
She is trying to make a mountain out of molehills.
Some female and male teenagers are sitting around a house in Bethesda. Nothing unusual about that.
Two teenage males are listening to music upstairs. Nothing unusual about that.
Female teenager needs to use the bathroom. House is small so there’s only one and its upstairs. Just is.
Male teenagers want companionship of female teenager. Nothing unusual about that.
Male teenagers invite her to listen to music. Nothing unusual about that.
One male teenager sits on the bed in a small bedroom (8x10) maybe a total of eight feet from the bathroom door and invites her to sit on the bed too. Other male teenager moves close to her to get her to feel uncomfortable and want to sit on the bed. He hangs around so she doesn’t get worried about being with only one male teenager.
Female teenager finally sits on the bed.
After a short time, male teenager on the bed put his arm around her to get used to getting handled by him.
After a short time his hand gets closer to his goals.
Female teenager figures out his goals and wiggles and screams.
Male teenager on bed panics. He puts his hand on her mouth. Other male teenager wants to get her out of room so the situation doesn’t get further out of hand, helping her escape from bedroom. She runs about ten feet into the bathroom and locks the door.
Male teenagers upstairs go downstairs so other teenagers don’t investigate.
Any questions are answered that the sports fan teenager struck out.
Teenagers downstairs, thinking that to be the case and common, forget all about it.
It was actually just Senator Feinstein (and Congresswoman Eshoo) that waited.
The accuser notified the Feinstein, her California Senator on the Judiciary Committee, and the Washington Post, the capital’s newspaper, months in advance.
I am so very very angry at the horrific politics of personal destruction that have been unleashed by Democrats.
They need to be publicly humiliated for this.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT LAUGHING IT OUT OF CONGRESS- AND TAKING IT SERIOUSLY, AND DELAYING THE VOTE.
This is a link to the text of the accuser’s letter with parts redacted:

“a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room”
That suggests a split-level house to me.
You don’t vote by Tuesday, I WON’T vote in Nov.Why bother if the party in power acts like a bunch of pussies.
Hmm...do I see a tiny hint of a white flag flapping in the hurricane of MSM gas?
