    So much for, "When they go low, we go high". Republicans need to learn to start playin' dirty pool. This is no different than gun rights...they keep taking inches, we never take anything back. If this kills Kavanaugh, they'll keep this up until they have a majority.

    That’s EXACTLY what needs to happen. Take the damn vote!

    This kind of character assassination isn’t going to stop - the Democrats think they’ve found a technique that works in the court of public opinion. Grassley needs to announce a date and time for the Committee vote (and stick to it, come hell or high water) and McConnell needs to do the same for the full Senate vote.

    As I said before, let the chips fall where they may. The Republicans are so concerned about “the optics” of being perceived as “being fair”, they don’t see they’re loosing ground while the Democrats are playing completely unfair with these unsupported innuendos.

    6 people now deny the Ramirez story: In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved in the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry, and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events:

    I was looking into the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings back in 1991 and wow, the similarities are amazingly close to what is going on now. It was found that the story was fabricated by Anita Hill as an attempt to keep a black conservative from reaching a position in the highest court in the nation. Even the timeline of when Hill's allegations came out during the confirmation is similar. It's almost as if Hollywood is remaking a movie and changing the characters to make it different from the original.

    And they still through that Anita Hill shit out still. Just like they will with this one even though there is no evidence.

    With the new allegations, these come from college. A previous argument by some was that the '82 allegations were supposedly committed by a teenager, a child. Now it's college where it could be said he was a man. Give it a week and it'll be someone from his 30's, then 40's.

    The new allegation comes after WEEKS of this circus, and at the new 11th hour, as Ford's claims look even more unbelievable, this one suddenly appears. If it were true she would have mentioned it before now.

    I quickly grow tired of the slandering and hope this is quickly resolved with him taking a seat on the court.

    I will also say that I wasn't even a big fan of his initially. I preferred some of the other nominees but the longer this goes on the more I want him confirmed.

    And as soon as he is confirmed they will move on and the slanderers will quickly fade back into the shadows where they belong.

    I agree. I liked others better. However, I like Clarence Thomas's response to Biden during his confirmation hearings: I would rather die than withdraw.

    From the WSJ:

    Even the sympathetic New Yorker writers concede that Ms. Ramirez was at first reluctant to talk about the incident. But after six days of “assessing her memories,” and after consulting with a Democratic lawyer, she felt confident enough to speak up. Even so, Ms. Ramirez concedes that she was drunk at the time to the point of being “on the floor, foggy and slurring her words.”

    The reporters could not find a single other eyewitness who put Mr. Kavanaugh at the party. One of Ms. Ramirez’s confirming witnesses is an unidentified man who says he heard about it from someone else. Another classmate, Richard Oh, says he overheard a female student whose identity he can’t recall telling another student about such an incident at the time but with no reference to Mr. Kavanaugh.

    But two of the men Ms. Ramirez says were directly involved in the incident say they know nothing about it. Others who were close friends of Ms. Ramirez and Mr. Kavanaugh at Yale also say they never heard of it. This includes Ms. Ramirez’s closest friend at the time who told the magazine that “this is a woman I was best friends with. We shared intimate details of our lives. And I was never told this story by her, or by anyone else. It never came up. I didn’t see it; I never heard of it happening.”

    Meanwhile, the New York Times reported Monday that it “had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate” Ms. Ramirez’s story, “and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”

    All of which adds up to another dimly recalled incident from 35 years ago, when Mr. Kavanaugh may or may not have been present, which alleged eyewitnesses deny attending, and about which the corroboration is second hand and unspecific. Mr. Farrow had sturdier journalistic standards before he teamed up with Ms. Mayer, who has devoted much of her professional life to tormenting Justice Clarence Thomas.

    I’m seeing from multiple news sources, the subcommittee vote will be held Friday.

    Senator McConnell has alerted the Senate to prepare for a rare Saturday session of the Senate. I’m guessing that’s so he can get the clock ticking on whatever rule allows time for the Democrats to voice their opposition comments.

    I’ll soon see if I just “drank the Kool-Aid” OR if this vote is really going to happen this time around!
