I don’t trust Flake, Collins of Murkowski. They are all treacherous filthy beasts.

Yeah but they have a sense of self-preservation. They’ll grit their teeth and vote yea.


Flake is politically dead, he’s a corpse. He blames Trump for the utter destruction of what would have been a very lucrative 30 more years in the Senate.

I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past the treacherous Flake, he’s that despicable and he’s that jealous of Trump. He’s my senator, at this time he’s the most hated politician in Arizona (now that Juan McCain is dead).

I don’t. I think he needs the questions to rebut. The senators would not have done this without partisanship. I really think the optics look much fairer. He will be confirmed!

Say what?? You misjudge me, Sir.
I made an observation and gave my opinion on how this is playing out. I DON'T LIKE IT! It makes me furious, but that's how I see it. I hope it plays out in Kavanaugh's favor. I want him confirmed! But- watch how the Dems and MSM spins this! If it were Jesus Christ instead of Kavanaugh there would be people (after he CURED people) accusing him of 'inappropriate touching' without permission! That's where we are now. That is how our opposition operates. I don't know how you counter that kind of sleazy thinking, but someone had better find out fast! I'm sorry you don't like my post on this- I don't like it either-but I have a right to my opinion, don't I?

Nonsense. You have no guarantee there’s going to be a vote. It is all about the polls that will be generated in the next 12 - 36 hours. If women in the push polls say “MEAN REPUBLICANS CAME AFTER FORD!” then there will be NO VOTE, and the Republic is lost.

Tomorrow morning he will be voted out of committee and goes to the full floor, where when the vote happens he will get 52-55 votes for confirmation...

Maybe. I guess we'll know tomorrow.

I'm not a fortune teller, I'm not making a prediction - it seems like a far more fluid thing to me than most people here seem to think,

If Flake flakes it means it doesn't go to the full Senate for a vote, right?

I don't trust Flake, I'm surprised so many people here do. He's made a late career of denouncing his own party, the policies that Trump is promoting and especially Trump. He seems very capable of killing the nomination out of spite.

All true but if Kavenaugh fell apart you could lose Collins and maybe others for political reasons. We’ll see.

He’s doing fine. There are tens of millions of Americans who will have empathy for this man. I don’t mind the prosecutor being more tougher on him. You got to show the three squishes Flake, Murkowski and Collins that he has nothing to hide.

LOL I’m an attorney too and have years and years of calendars stored as well, but I don’t think I keep a paper calendar in HS. I have them all since college, however.

With all due respect, i disagree. There could be other shoes that are being held waiting for the right time to be dropped. This would make sense since what we are witnessing is high stakes legal warfare with very few rules.

He needs to be more calm at this point.

Maybe that is why he requested a break.

You make an excellent point - President Trump is a scary judge of talent.

If Mitchell didn’t interview Kavanaugh imagine how the Dems would scream how unfair it was to treat him differently. I think Mitchell was not particularly good but at least they can say both treated the same.

IIRC this prosecuter bit*h didnt ask Ford about her drinking except how much she had at the party. She didnt ask if she ever passed out or didnt remember anything afterwards. She never questioned her drinking habits. WTF?

“Dare to turn on CNN. It exactly what you would think. One commentator just said, very effectively, democrats have seen what they wanted to see today, and republicans have seen what they wanted to see today. Saying it’s exactly like Anita Hill.”

Fairness

Exactly. This hearing is not about Kavanaugh although it would be nice to save him from having his life ruined. It's to tell the mushy middle that the charges were taken seriously and Republicans actually have principles that they live by.
