Kavanaugh confirmation hearing

[busykngt]

Kavanaugh’s opening statement was powerful. He single-handedly saved his own nomination with it.

His approach was very much, “damn the torpedos, full speed ahead”. I’m sure he was thinking, “what have I got to loose at this point?”

—
He wrote it himself. No one had seen it before hand except one past law clerk that used to work for him. He used that person as a sounding board and as a ‘thought continuity checker’.

During the initial hearings I was waiting for his calm exterior to crack as they made all kinds of implied accusations. He was cool as a cucumber.


No surprise that after they decided to destroy his career and his family with a bunch of unverified and ridiculously far fetched testimony which had been withheld for weeks...well, looks like he’s had enough.

Her testimony is whacky. She drinks, goes upstairs - to restroom(?), is pushed into bedroom where she is attacked. Hides in a ( small bathroom ) adjacent to bedroom until they left. Went down stairs and evidently walked 6 mi.home without going to the restroom. Does't remember anything but the attack ( or much of anything else). She even alluded that her freind's lawyer stated her friend didn't remember the incedent. Her friend has severe back problems but surely any lawyer would actually ask before submitting a statement. She just shrugged off anything contrary to her testimony.

To be fair, when asked what she didn't forget, she mentioned nothing of the attack at all. She remembered the bedroom, the bed on the right hand side, the stairwell, and the laughter. What surprised me as well as some colleagues was that she didn't remember being pinned down...she didn't remember having the hand placed over her mouth, which was supposedly so tramatic...instead, she remembered the stairwell

Cruz didn't say anything remarkable that I remember, and I'm trying to remember Cornyn....

Cornyn called out Feinstein for leaking the document and made a fool of her. By the time it was Cruz turn to talk, the battle was won.

Reports the Full Senate may vote Saturday.

 

[Renegade]

Not likely Saturday.

Yep, Shannon Bream just said Saturday will be the 1st procedural vote, with Tuesday the final vote.

We can't afford to get shut down over a needless lawsuit and these legal firms are getting more aggressive about coming after site owners. So when you want to reference an article, you may post:
1) A link to the article.

Thanks Vaquero. Sorry, thought this forum allowed for limited quoting. I got the rules mixed up with a different forum that allows for limited quoting from articles. Won’t happen again.

I mentioned McConnell’s suspected motivation for calling a “rare special Saturday session” back in my post #336. Just was trying to lend some credence to my earlier comment.

No problem.

I'll be "that guy" for a few days.

Thanks.

Did ya'll get a cease and desist from someone?

 

[V-Tach]

Anyone here keep a calendar since Jr. High and can produce one from 36 years ago?

Not that I know of but -

• Other forums with which some of us have involvement have recently had problems,
• There's been a rash of people starting threads by posting whole articles, something that was prohibited even under the earlier rules, and
  
• Pending EU legislation is going to be a pain if it passes in early 2019.

It's best to get our house in order now.

So you're 'that guy', I was always wondering when I heard the term 'that guy'. Do we have to limit it to a few days, or can we re-elect you for the position at a further date?

 

[ScorpionHunter]

I’m seeing some reports that Kavanaugh has the votes to get out of committee and then to be confirmed by the full Senate. Things may change by morning, but for now he seems in good shape.

Maybe that is why none of us are headed to the Supreme Court? If only I had known.

 

[Renegade]

On another angle,

What woman will ever come forward now knowing Dems cannot keep her name confidential and will throw her under the bus for political purposes?

Renegade,

You don't have to make "FINE-SWINE" look like a fool, as she IS one & a CHEAP CROOK, too.

Renegade,

"FINE-SWINE" treated Ms. Ford like TP & flushed her when she was well-used.

DIMocRATS care NOTHING about anything/anybody except $$$$$$$$$$ & POWER.

Who was that guy? Sure looked a lot like Graham, but didn't sound like him. /sarc/
