Thing is, you can use whatever aspersions you want against the women who came forward about Kavanaugh. His own testimony on Friday should be enough to disqualify him from any proximity to the Supreme Court. It's ridiculously easy to prove that he lied about his drinking habits. His own handwritten letter confirms it.

1) He refused to say if he was "Bart" Kavanaugh in Judge's book - this letter confirms that Bart was his going name.
2) He claimed that ralphing was from Indian food - this letter explicitly references puking from alcohol and his group of friends being 'loud obnoxious drunks' (sounds like a charmer).
3) He claimed in the interview to be a virgin but the letter references 'welcoming girls with open...'

He lied under oath. That should be enough for a disqualification, done and dusted. The question of whether he sexually assaulted women adds another disturbing layer to the picture, but that does need to be investigated properly before we can be confident that it happened.

The argument of a bible bashing inbred idiot, posing as conservative.

Do you even think about the implications of what you say?
I can't even call you guys lefties anymore, because you just jump all over the place when it suits you.

The leftie hysteria is amazing. I'll give you guys a few days to realise the irony.

A hint. That's a quote.

Down goes that talking point, breathlessly repeated.

“I have NEVER had Christine Blasey Ford, or anybody else, prepare me, or provide any other type of assistance whatsoever in connection with any polygraph exam I have taken at any time,” Monica McLean said in her response.

At some point you(not really you specifically, it's a figure of speech)have to asking why are all these people lying. If we get to that we can actually figure out what's going on.

Source: Senate Sets Key Kavanaugh Nomination Vote For Friday

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed a cloture on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh late Wednesday, paving the way for a Friday procedural vote and - if Kavanaugh clears the procedural hurdle - a final vote as early as Saturday.

McConnell touched off the process late Wednesday and announced that sometime during the evening, the FBI would deliver to an anxious Senate the potentially fateful document on claims that Kavanaugh sexually abused women, according to the AP. With Republicans clinging to a razor-thin 51-49 majority and five senators — including three Republicans — still vacillating, the conservative jurist’s prospects of Senate confirmation remained in doubt and potentially dependent on the file’s contents, which are supposed to be kept secret.

"There will be plenty of time for Members to review and be briefed on this supplemental material before a Friday cloture vote. So I am filing cloture on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination this evening so the process can move forward, as I indicated earlier this week," McConnell said.

Source: Democratic Staffer For Sheila Jackson Lee Arrested In GOP Doxing

A 27-year-old intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has been arrested by the US Capitol Police for posting private, identifying information (Doxing) of several Senators to Wikipedia, according to the USCP, after the personal information of Republican Senators Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch was posted to Wikipedia Thursday during the hearing of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which included home addresses and phone numbers.

The suspect, Jackson A. Cosko of Washington D.C. has initially been charged with witness tampering, threats in interstate communications, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second degree burglary and unlawful entry.

Cosko, who was fired after his arrest, previously worked for Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

Source: Top FBI lawyer Baker offers 'explosive' testimony on 'abnormal' handling of Russia probe into Trump campaign: lawmakers

Former top FBI lawyer James Baker gave "explosive" closed-door testimony on Wednesday detailing for congressional investigators how the Russia probe was handled in an "abnormal fashion" reflecting "political bias," according to two Republican lawmakers present for the deposition.

"Some of the things that were shared were explosive in nature," Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News. "This witness confirmed that things were done in an abnormal fashion. That's extremely troubling."

Meadows claimed the "abnormal" handling of the probe into alleged coordination between Russian officials and the Trump presidential campaign was "a reflection of inherent bias that seems to be evident in certain circles." The FBI agent who opened the Russia case, Peter Strzok, FBI lawyer Lisa Page and others sent politically charged texts, and have since left the bureau.

I was going to make a quip about cognitive dissonance, but it gets used so much around here, it's meaningless.

Funny how beyond a reasonable doubt only applies to Democrats.

Trump supporter arrested for threatening to slaughter senators and their families for not supporting Brett Kavanaugh

Last week, James Patrick posted a credible threat on Facebook, saying he planned to shoot members of Congress depending on the outcome of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Patrick’s avatar is a handgun and his photos show conspiracy theories about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, including a photo of a young woman (not Dr. Ford) with George Soros.
On Sept. 24, Patrick posted that he “bought 12 boxes of hollow point 50 caliber bullets.” He went on to say he has “plenty of ammo for my sniper rifle and bought a suppressor from a private individual so I don’t have to wait on it .. have made sure all my arrangements have been made and care for my dogs because I will not be coming home if Kav is not confirmed I will kill those I believe are responsible and track down their families and kill them too ..and have taken extra precautions and added more supplies in the tunnel under my house in case local or federal law enforcement tries to stop me .. follow in my footsteps .. I refuse to let democrats [sic] ruin this country.”

 

[Seriously]

Did they ever investigate these matters - i.e. his college drinking and his sexual assault allegations? If not it doesn't matter how many irrelevant prior investigations he had.

Have they investigated all the decades he was practising law and served as a judge? All they have is dirt suddenly dug up from his actions as a 17 year old boy student at varsity as opposed to his professional carreer...... when the Desperate Dems dug up a few stories of on heat student party bitches.
Maybe the FBI must get Ford to admit when, how and with whom she got to the party and back home afterwards. Why she had a swimsuit under her garb for the obviously planned, six person, party and why she drank beer at her age? How did the *one* beer.affect her mind and memory? Unless she was a :regular drinker herself. Why was her beer not spiked by the experienced party rapists?
Trumps "mockery" opens up a few cans of worms so did an old ex indeed.
But dont let me slow you down. That blinkers you wear keeps your erm......... bias relevant.

 

[Seriously]

That makes one wonder then doesn't it?

Why now? Why haven't these ladies come forward previously? This is not his first public office position. So why didn't they come forward the 6 other times he was subjected to background checks and the likes? He didn't come out of the woodwork in September 2018 did he? He has held extremely high ranking positions for many years already...

It am sure money talks.

 

[Seriously]

Who established that? You?

His live in college and the likes would have been scrutinized. Just because they found nothing back then you assume they never looking into his live at college? Assumptions Cerebus...

Yip. He could have been a Spy or mixed with various terror issues. Surely working with Bush even his great grand parents affiliations and records would have been checked.
But we know cerebus. He puts his life on the line for his agenda and cause as per the debunked secret "Alt Right" Ok trolling signal which ended up as an innocent request for a glass of water.
