Kavanaugh's accuser from 38 years ago goes public

[Dos Equis]

Plus, she wasn't lying. That they couldn't prove she was telling the truth doesn't mean she was lying

Yes she was lying.  That’s what the evidence shows.

That piece of liberal Dem-voting shit Murkowski voted against it but Manchin is in, so that's alright. We're solid, boys. Let's put this one away and get Brett on that court.

Most New York celebrities have LA homes too, and sometimes a few townhouses in London and some in Paris, too. Limousine liberals sure love their excessive real estate holdings, and none of them house any black people or beaten women in their spare rooms.

Flake to vote yes on Kavanaugh 'unless something big changed'



Washington (CNN) Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, a key Republican swing vote, said Friday he plans to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

"Unless something big changed, I don't see what would, but anyway I'm glad we had a better process," Flake told reporters. Earlier Friday, he voted to advance Kavanaugh's nomination to a final vote.

Flake, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, previously called for an FBI investigation into accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh after both he and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were both in high school, which he denies.


Republicans currently hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate, with Vice President Mike Pence a potential tie-breaking vote.

Fellow Republican senator and swing vote Lisa Murkowski voted to oppose Kavanaugh's advancement. When asked about Murkowski's vote, Flake said he admired her.

"I admire her a lot and everybody had to make their own decision," Flake said. "I think the world of her."

Sen. Susan Collins indicates she will vote yes on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, making it incredibly likely he'll secure a spot on the court



Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine indicated that she plans to vote yes on Saturday's final floor vote on the confirmation of embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, after she voted yes to invoking cloture on his nomination Friday morning.

She said the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh fail to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshhold and that they should not "fairly prevent Judge Kavanaugh from serving on the court."

With Collins a likely yes, Kavanaugh's confirmation is now all but certain. If the one remaining undecided senator, Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia, votes yes, Kavanaugh will be confirmed 51-49.

Even if Manchin votes no and the Senate comes down 50-50 on Kavanaugh, Vice President Mike Pence could cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm him, which would be the first time in history the vice president cast a tie-breaking vote on the confirmation of a federal judge.

As a moderate Republican who supports abortion rights, not only has Collins's vote has been heavily scrutinized for months, but she is also the subject of a historically unprecedented fundraising campaign from Maine activists that will automatically trigger over $1.9 million in donor pledges to fund her future opponent when she goes up for re-election in 2020 if she votes yes on Kavanaugh.


While Collins and Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell decried the campaign as a form of bribery, law professors Deborah Hellman and Stuart Green wrote in The Atlantic that the campaign does not fit the legal parameters of a bribe because they are threatening to give the funds to her eventual, unnamed opponent instead of offering her money to vote a certain way.

Kavanaugh, a federal judge on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is embroiled in scandal relating to sexual assault allegations dating back to the early 1980s, which he has vehemently denied both under oath and to the press.

His confirmation was delayed in order for him and accuser Christine Blasey Ford to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and for the FBI to conduct a supplemental background investigation into the allegations, which was completed on Wednesday.

Democrats in sheer meltdown in my FB feed

[Soul Crusher]

   
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he will vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh
In a statement, Manchin (D-W.V.) said, "I believe he will rule in a manner that is consistent with our Constitution.”

The confirmation vote, scheduled for Saturday, needs support from at least 50 senators. Vice President Pence would cast the tiebreaking vote if necessary.

[Primemuscle]

Serious question:

After Kavanaugh is confirmed and the mid-terms, could the FBI launch a secret (or not) investigation on Ford, Feinstein, etc. for obstruction?

I doubt it. Just as there was insufficient proof that Kavanaugh assaulted Ford, there are only opinions and not proof of Ford or Feinstein attempting to obstruct Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court.

How about that, Prime?

[SOMEPARTS]

At the end of the day Kavanaugh is an establishment judge and a former(always will be) Bushie. He's not going to overturn R v. W but he may be more corporatist and pro big govt search and seizure than very conservative parts of the right would like.

I think dems will find that the negative impact at the polls was not worth fighting this fairly predictable pick the way they did.

[Kwon3]

the sky is falling Cassandras will be proven wrong, as usual
few months from now when he doesn't overturn abortion or pardon Trump preemptively for anything he might do in office (something only Ford did, for Nixon), they'll find some new obsession to bitch about
healthcare or something, since they already melted over illegals at the border and the 2016 election thing is getting old
the left always needs something to rally against, it's all they do for a living since they never actually produce or propose anything

She does. she lives in an apartment in a building in Manhattan on 5th Ave. This is the view from her terrace.



Not bad for a gal whose career began when she was singing at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the Ansonia Hotel, in the summer of 1970.

[Agnostic007]

Yes she was lying.  That’s what the evidence shows.

No, you are wrong again. But it is what it is. They had their hearing, he got enough votes or so it seems. Done deal. In the future I would propose that when a sitting President nominates a SCJ, if the senate majority is of the same party of the President, that they forgo a hearing and vote. It's a waste of time.

I love the smell of liberal tears. It smells like... victory.

If any Republican tried to pass a law like that, the Left would collectively declare jihad on American society. You're acting as if any kind of reasonable debate or compromise is possible with a party whose shining beacons are celebrity singers and actors, and who declared half the population deplorable idiots 2 years ago for not voting for them. Oh, and not one of them has condemned these angry, criminal mobs that are flooding the capitol and harassing politicians off and on the clock. They're complicit in that bullshit and that's why nobody cares what the Democrats have to say. The media's corrupt. It's all farce.

[Kwon3]

Libs in the Congress failed to derail the Kavanaugh nomination through conventional means and scrutiny of his legal record, and he passed every FBI background check, so now they've bet their entire desperate battle on the tried-and-tested method of pulling some obscure woman out of the garbage heap, dusting her off, and begging her for ANYTHING that could save their pathetic last-minute attempts to block a conservative from the court. I predict this will not only fail but blow up so hard in their faces that it'll knock down the rotten MeToo 'movement' whose shaky scaffolding can't survive a firm and hard rejection by the American people with a conscience and a brain in their heads.

I was right on the money. 

[Kwon3]

48-50 confirmed.

Chalk another one for Trump.

[SOMEPARTS]

BOOOOM. Confirmed. 50-48 with one Dem abstaining.
