Also a lot of support from voters for dumping Kavanaugh. A female justice is an easier sell and can lessen the damage this has caused. Trump has already hinted at replacing him.

Dems should probably push for a vote.  They'll get two Republicans.  Trump pulls him he can claim all sorts of things, how he believes him, how he's a good man, but it's just too much.

After today, it may not just be Collins and Murkowskis they're worried about, it may also be Sasse and Flake.

You don't want to lose the vote.  Pull the nomination and blame it on partisanship.

While I don't know if any of the allegations are true, I am reminded of Penn State when people question why it takes so long to expose these things.

We live in a world where a man raped children for years and it was hidden by his boss and coworkers to protect a football team. A man walked in on him raping a child and continued to work with him for a decade. He had victims who are now adults that we know of who didn't come forward until it was exposed.

I'm honestly a little surprised the GOP hasn't told him to withdraw. They're in a pickle with more women coming forward with more allegations. The longer it goes on, the less it looks like they're in control. And the shorter the time they have to get a replacement on before the election (in case they lose). 

Or maybe they have, and Kavanaugh wanted to push forward.

And you think this is some huge secret?

Sometimes, it's wetter than you think ! 


I mean, in a standpoint of water.

I agree with this. This would be Trumps best move. Kav going down by vote is a blow.

One can be bright and think the way I expressed.

It is troubling that she was never made aware of the option to come out to California and interview her privately.

[*michaelsean*]

What if they vote and it's 50-50 and Pence breaks the tie with a down vote? Now that would be some entertaining shit.

Orin Hatch when asked about Ford said that she was “attractive” and a “good witness”.  ATTRACTIVE??!!! I can’t with these men  #KavanaughHearings

I don't know whether to be exasperated by his sexism or to be exasperated by his blindness.

So do you think Time Magazine has their cover ready for December?

NO! only DemocRATS!

And I'm not sure about water. But I do know that hurricanes can be very wet. Some wetter than others.

I don't see it as naivete. Also, trauma does weird things to people in the way they justify things to themselves.

Seems MS Anderson wants to piece-mill Hatch's comment for some reason: He didn't say she was  attractive and a good witness, He said she was an attractive, good witness. When asked to clarify he said pleasing. It's a sad world when you cannot comment on someone in a positive manner without being classified/ twisted into being  a sexist

It is not sad.  It is true.

Not one senator will describe Kavanaugh as "handsome, a good witness".
