Kavanaugh, accuser to testify publicly on Monday
The Hill ^ | 09/17/2018 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 09/17/2018 3:23:05 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual crimes during a party when the two were teenagers will testify in public on Monday.

The public hearing could be pivotal to Kavanaugh's confirmation, which was on a glide path until Christine Blasey Ford came forward publicly with her accusations on Sunday.

Why is the hearing scheduled for next Monday instead of this week?

“Flake said he insisted on following committee rules, which require at least one week of notice before hearings.”

And, judge Kavanaugh has small children. They have to witness the hit job on their father. Again, I hope he NEVER forgets what the radical left wing vermin are doing to him and his family.

Aren’t they claiming this is a ‘recovered’ memory?? Aren’t a lot of those completely made up??

“With Flake and Corker just itching to screw Trump one last time l think Kavanaugh is probably doomed.”

Collins and Murkowski are just itching for an excuse to bail on Kavanaugh, too.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg was confirmed with a 96-3 vote. I’ve had it with these scum in D.C.

“Hillary had great deal of success with the “I don’t recall” defense.”

This woman isn’t exactly Hillary. Plus, “I don’t recall” isn’t going to work when she testifies. What is she going to say ... “I’m pretty sure it was him” or “I don’t remember much, but I know for a fact it’s him”. She has to directly accuse him and present facts. That is not going to happen. At all. She has no facts to back up her claim.

I suspect that this is all a ploy to try and keep the extreme left base of the Democrat Party fired up for their blue wave and other myths they’re spreading. The idiots think they have a chance at blocking Kavanaugh. It’s false hope, but hope none the less for these losers.

The left is also trying to bait a Republican into saying “this woman is a whore” or something similar so that they can play their “victim shaming” card (that they never played when Hillary was First Lady in Name Only). The odds of that happening are quite low though ... all Republicans have to say is “wait and see what she says on Monday” and nothing more.

Once Kavanaugh gets confirmed (and he will; by next Friday), their spirits will be crushed ... that doesn’t mean we get lazy/complacent of course, but it’s an easy win for us if we let this drag out another week and use this example of Lib-theater as the primary reason to NOT vote for idiots of the Democrat Party this fall.

I’m leaning towards Thursday, but it could be one per day for the remainder of the week. The GOP has shown they can be rolled on this and nearly everything else. Anything is possible.

She will bail.

Agree!

She'll bail because of 'death threats'.

Then the dems will feign outrage and demand further FBI investigations.

Bank on it!

This is heresay as well.

True.

Put all burden of proof on her.

Poor girl, can't remember where or when this happened, how she got there, how she left. Now you want her to provide proof ? What kind of sexist are you ? (/sarcasm)

The repubikans are supposedly in control of the senate. They are allowing all of this bullsh!t.

I agree that she may bail. Feigned death threats, and the “ l’m too traumatized by all these nasty old men who don’t believe me” defense, I would bet.

This kind of charge on a man who has lived an honorable life..who has been run thru by the fbi in past judgeship hearings.. called a gentleman by his peers...a man who no fault has been found ..This charge can devastate a man, his family..and it being false is sentencing a man for life for no reason.. unthinkable except by the hate in the left. And to kill the unborn.

“What saved Clarence Thomas was that he refused to wilt in the face of such tremendous pressure”

Yes but his “high tech lynching” theme went directly to race and the history of blacks being lynched. He shamed the Senate. In the end he had to use race against the Rats in one of the greatest statements ever given by a nominee and of course Kavanaugh lacks that weapon.

If they grill her on anything the liberals and Dems will yell about coercing the witness.

Since when is Flake running the show .

This smells like a set up now that this Evil Evil Never Trumper has sand bagged the timeline ..

Recall when the Gop baseball shooting and Obama called one
person , FLAKE to check on him . A fellow America hating Dem .

Grassley is weak old fool and Mitch looks like no better .

Once again, republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

We used to think it was them just being stupid. Now we know its because they are stupid and part of a Uniparty Global Cabal.

Why is the conservative white male held to a higher standard than the carpet-munching Commie Kagan or the RACIST lefty Hispanic Stotomayor?

Mid-term elections and possible loss of the Senate. Not that I think losing the Senate is likely, but if GOP dick around and this nomination goes beyond election day, a Senate loss is likely, IMO.

She only created it in case Mitt became president. Kavanaugh was one of the first in line back then too.
