***OFFICIAL*** Kavanaugh Judiciary Committee Hearing Watch Thread (PART VI)

But... but... what about Hillary's emails?!?!?

Link to previous thread for reference.

I don't think I can take any more of this shit.

But luckily I have fight in me.

*SNIFF*

How did he get to be a judge in the first place? Don't they vet candidates?

Brett's face when he was answering FEMALE Senators was full of disgust. Even when a male Senator went after him like Durbin, he was much more respectful. He hates women.

Corker announces he will vote to confirm.

[quote] “I know it took courage for Dr. Ford to appear before the committee today. I also very strongly believe that Judge Kavanaugh, like all Americans, deserves the presumption of innocence and that it was equally as important for him to have the opportunity to address the charges and defend himself,” Corker said in a statement. Corker said there is “no question” that Kavanaugh is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court.

Graham is being canonized on Fox tonight

‘How’d you find me?’: Mark Judge has been holed up in a beach house in Delaware amid a media firestorm

Brett will be the James Deen of the SC!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) then plans a Saturday procedural vote to formally move to the nomination, with a potential confirmation vote as early as Tuesday...

Then, in the full GOP conference meeting, Murkowski, Collins and Flake offered their colleagues no signal of where they would land, according to an attendee. Rachel Mitchell, a lawyer who was retained by the Senate GOP to question Ford, broke down her analysis of the testimony to Republicans, but did not advise them how to vote. She told them that as a prosecutor she would not charge Kavanaugh or even pursue a search warrant, according to a person briefed on the meeting.

I'd love it if the Democrats could win big on midterms and then impeach Trump and Kavanaugh but that's a pipe dream I realize

Why are we pretending to be surprised that any of these Rethugs are saying they're going to vote Yes?

My wife, Ashley and my daughter Liza were saying their prayers.....

So can someone go back and give me more info on the whole Mitchell saying she wouldn't be able to proceed?

Was Mitchell a fixer? She is from suspicious Maracopa county.

How can ANYONE in this country not see how cowardly the Repug men are to hide behind a skirt with Dr. Ford but come out like they are cowboys when Brett is out?

They could not do their fucking job. How humiliating. These are people who actually get votes?

The GOP has used politics to push this thing thing through. It blocked the release of 95% of his papers—papers would have shown he lied to the senate previously. They knew about the allegations by women fans. That’s why a petition signed by 65 women supporting him appeared suddenly).

All to end abortion and supporting the rules made by the rich

This guy can save democracy.

As soon as the Dems retake the WH and have control of the House an Senate, the first order of business would be to add two seats to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Collins is a shit. She will vote for him once McConnell threatens her and any legislation she supports

Was Kavanaugh's daughter there?

can someone sic Ronan Farrow on Lindsey Graham's trail and dig up dirt on him? there's got to be something

We are in a war, not a battle. Call your senators 202 224-3121 congressional switchboard or text resist to 50409.

Then find a race in your state and volunteer to canvass. Every weekend until November

There were never any swing votes. Don't believe that lie.

PJ Smyth is also a witness and also seems to be selling the poor girl out, through his lawyer of course and carefully parsed. He doesn’t even have the balls to do it in person.

"I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Smyth says in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."

I just had a terrible thought - - does his wife have to do anal tonight?

Or will he just pass out drunk?

PJ

Mrs. Brett is gonna be treated like a James Deen whore tonight. Poor thing.

He'll probably smack her around first and then force it up her ass while she lies on her side, sobbing.

Did anyone else notice that early on during Dr. Ford's testimony Grassley kept addressing Rachel Mitchell by her first name and then all of a sudden switched to calling her Miss Mitchell? You just know there was a "Psst, Senator Grassley...." and a little advice on "optics".

new Mark Judge statement

He doesn't want to comment on anything as a result of his alcoholism and cancer recovery. He says he has no knowledge of the events as Ford described Nice cop out

So, what elixir/ drug of choice will you all be partaking in after his Friday confirmation?

Thank heaven it will be done in time for the weekend, I guess.

Mark Judge gets out of testifying because he is a drunk? Are you fucking kidding me?

r33 His lying will make the cancer come back. Someone needs to tell him that.

Oh and the skeezy thing he said about his daughter suggesting THEY pray for Dr. Ford. Yes, daddy needs to pray for Dr. Ford because daddy touched Dr. Ford here, and here, and here, a long long time ago and that is how teens play.

Judge gets out of testifying because the GOP wants to push this nomination through

WHAT R23 SAID!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!

Lying and evasion were so evident. He just wouldn’t answer the questions. Instead he would try to attack the questioners.

Disgusting

As I was watching Kavanaugh and his LONG opening, he reminded me of a spoiled bully baby (like you know who) who, while apparently with very good credentials, but who felt he was ENTITLED to a seat on the Supreme Court. He also made things political by expressing outrage at the Dems (who weren't the ones who chose when hearing schedule), conspiracies, revenge from the Clintons, and other BS that judges, and he's currently a Federal judge, are not supposed to express. But in the era of Trump, all kinds of norms have been broken. I guess those 3 Republican senators have the means to stop this, but who knows if they will.

Brett hates women with a passion. He hates the left with a passion. He is fundamentally unfit emotionally to be a SC judge. He is immoral and a complete sociopath.

I'm just so angry. I'm glad I live in a blue state but I almost wish I lived in one I could help flip with my vote

[quote] PJ Smyth: "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."

But look at his words very carefully. "I have no knowledge of the party in question." Dr. Ford addressed this herself today. Of course none of them would remember some random party that just came together after swimming at the country club 36 years ago. It was unremarkable to everyone except the three people involved in the attempted rape: Dr. Ford, KavaNO, and that shit Judge.

KavaNo kept saying this afternoon that they others "denied" that it happened. I wish one of the Dems had said -- no, they said they don't recall it occurring and that is not the same as denying that it occurred.

[quote]We are in a war, not a battle.

(wrings hands)

But...but...when they go low, we go high... how could this be happening...I don't understand... it's all just so...unfair.

Judge doesn’t get to walk away from this.

The GOP Senators kept bringing up the accusation about the trains but made it so salacious as to be unbelievable.

Of course, no one ever accused Kavanaugh of participating in a train but the GOP wants you to believe that’s what the accusation was.

One thing that I noticed when the Rethugs kept harping and trying to push through their false evidence that everyone signed documents that would result in prison if they falsified...

The statements they signed off on were statements that they did not "recollect," any such events.

Funny how that works, right?

"I don't recall," is definitely not the same as, "No." Therefore can't get in trouble!

Trust me, I know!

Everyone in power is letting him r45, so he might.

Sorry Im confused. So Mitchell saying that she couldn't proceed? What does that mean?

Instead of CNN having 10 panelist, they need 10 reporters out doing reporting. Where are the witnesses? They don’t get to hide.

No wonder they’ve been last place. Jeff Zucker took NBC to last place and is now doing the same for CNN.

lmao oh Susie such a beaut

[qupte]Susan Collins avoided reporters all day today, taking back staircases and elevators and working and watching the hearing in her Senate hideaway, which reporters were not allowed to stake out. She would not comment on Kavanaugh as she left for the night

This is why lazy poster need to post a link.

Mitchell was saying that if this were a trial, she wouldn’t process further without more info. which makes me think she’s a fixer. The repugs chose her after all for a reason.

Hello, start with Judge and PJ.

It means nothing r49, just telling the people who hired her what they want to hear.

She is saying as a prosecutor if this case was in her jurisdiction she would decline to pursue it.

Judge and PJ hold the key to democracy on their hands. You would think a news truck is in order.

R49 no. She's a repub and a repub shill. Mitchell is saying based on the hearings today, she would not (as a sex crimes prosecutor) have charged Kavanaugh with anything. She was saying nothing Ford and Kavanaugh said would have warranted him being charged.

[quote]Of course none of them would remember some random party that just came together after swimming at the country club 36 years ago. It was unremarkable to everyone except the three people involved in the attempted rape: Dr. Ford, KavaNO, and that shit Judge.

The saddest part is, I think the only person this was memorable for was Blasey Ford. Attempted rape while drunk out of their minds was just another unremarkable day for those two fuckers.

[quote]So Mitchell saying that she couldn't proceed? What does that mean?

It means they bribed her with two dozen Krispy Kremes.

It's a silly statement because officers investigate and then bring cases to the prosecution. There hasn't been an investigation yet. The Dems asked for one roughly 42 million times.

They remember.

Think about it.

If they knew it wasn’t true they would come through for their friend. If nothing else, a friend on the Supreme Court is a good thing.

That’s why they won’t show their faces in public.

They know exactly what happened and that’s why they are hiding like cowards.

They were writing books and begging for public attention right up until now?

Now they are camera shy?

They absolutely know and the media is letting them skirt.

THERE NEEDS TO BE MASS DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE CAPITAL AND THE SENATE OFFICE BUILDING TOMORROW!

I guarantee that Mitchell is a radical anti-choicer. More like, 'Wouldn't press charges or seek a warrant until the investigation was done," if she was honest. Then, we're back to that pesky missing investigation.

Why was Mitchell even offering that hypothetical opinion if she was in fact neutral?

That’s not appropriate.

We need to hear from PJ and Judge on the record. Plain and simple.

The GOP kept calling the letters signed by apparent witnesses “at the risk of felony.”

That was a term made up for this hearing. They were at risk of perjury but that doesn’t sound as bad.

R62 because she's a repub and repub shill. That means she has no morals

Gloria Borgia seems drunk.

She isn't neutral, she was brought in to represent the GOP senators. Never really meant to be a neutral party.

Funny how no GOP Senator or Kavanaugh wanted an FBI investigation. No one wants to know what the other witnesses really have to say. Instead they seem happy with 5-6 line denial letters

R67, they got rid of her when they realized that she was emphasizing his drinking. That’s when Graham had his meltdown— to distract from her questioning

look what this bitch was doing tonight

yup primetime spot on Fox. New deplorable hero

On one of these threads today someone posted an EXCELLENT thread on Twitter documenting Kav’s finances almost year by year starting in I think 2005. I lost that, anyone have that saved?

But what about the perjury he committed.

He lied about Renate, he lied about Devils Triangle, lied about Boof, lied about FFFFF. If he would lie about the stuff his classmates already confirmed. What won't he lie a about?

Isn’t it convenient that the GOP wanted Mitchell to question the woman but pushed her out of the way to defend Kavanaugh themselves

Privileged white boys always get their way

I suppose Miss Lindsay has rekindled his dream of the presidency so he's sucking up to the Trumptards.

On the flip side, he can be President and First Lady.

Kavanaugh can never be an objective judge. He went full out partisan today

I truly believe that there must be a legal way to COMPEL both Judge and PJ to speak. DL Legal Department, what say you? My Constitutional rights have been violated, my liberty has been damaged by these criminals with their lies and coverups. How do I bring this before a judge?? Bull fucking shit I can’t sue them for this, a creative lawyer can plea the case. Who do I call?????

[quote]Susan Collins avoided reporters all day today, taking back staircases and elevators and working and watching the hearing in her Senate hideaway, which reporters were not allowed to stake out. She would not comment on Kavanaugh as she left for the night.

Because, in true to form, she's going to vote to confirm him. Don't believe the lie that she was ever a swing vote. She's pulled this kind of shit before and has ALWAYS proven what a lowdown piece of shit she is. Mark my words.

He lied about watching her testimony r72.

July 1st on his calendar is the date he has “skis” with the same people Ford mentions were at the Party

Can the women he attacked bring civil cases and get Kavanaugh, Judge, etc. under oath that way?

It would never happen r60. Americans are the laziest of lazy. We are here at this point BECAUSE Americans were lazy and couldn't get their fat sloppy asses to the voting booth in 2016!!!!

I can’t remenver her name, she was on Rachel (the lady who originally broke Anita Hill), but she was saying based on Kav’s testimony, anyone and everyone who has to face SCOTUS must demand that he recuse based on his reeking partisanship. I concur!!!! Every fucking case that faces SCOTUS must must must must demand his recusal.

I think that Kavanaugh is a falling down drunk. Will have a DUI in about 6 months.

this bitch!

Breaking CNN: American Bar Association calls for Kavanaugh vote to be halted until FBI investigates.

The fact that they are still holding a vote tomorrow means that they have the votes. Mitch is going to get his dick ducked a whole bunch tomorrow and Lindsay and Sue will be fighting for the money shot on their face.

Breaking:

The American Bar Association calls on Judiciary Committee to halt Kavanaugh vote until FBI investigation is done

not sure if that will have any effect though

The American Bar Association is calling for a halt to the vote until the FBI investigates.

This seems pretty big.

This is going to be a different story come Monday.

Collins and Murkowski will be wise to wait a week or two. This is going to blow up so huge.

Evil has a way of winning or these days, I will admit, but it really could be political suicide to vote for this guy. It’s super risky. He got a bump for his stunt today but it won’t hold the weekend. Every day that this goes by makes him more and more toxic.

Also, the story is moving so fast they are having trouble keeping this within the tribal, propaganda narrative. People are having independent thoughts, which the leaders just can’t have.

I wonder how many DUIs have already been magically swept under the rug already in his life?

What if they disbar him?

Can the ABA do anything - strip him of his credentials or something??

Avenatti needs to do something tomorrow to bring focus on his new case

[quote]What if they disbar him?

And what is that going to do?

No, the ABA can't do anything. Lawyers are admitted to practice by the state bar association.

when will there be a viral video of Lindsey Graham being shamed? We've even seen McConnell get that treatment a couple months ago. Lindsey needs to be humiliated non-violently in public and have it recorded

Story at the link.

If Ford and her attorneys were smart, they would go first thing in the morning and file charges in Mass.....the republicans pretty much dared her to do it.

Even if they can't do anything, wouldn't this statement by the ABA carry some weight with fence sitters?

You mean MD, R98.

It's a bit of a vice.... "The comments are striking because the organization gave Kavanaugh its highest rating of unanimous, "well-qualified" for the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh himself touted that rating at Thursday's emotionally-charged hearing where he denied Ford's sworn testimony that he attempted to rape her when they were teenagers.

Kavanaugh noted he was "thoroughly vetted" by the ABA."

Wait a minute, so can’t his homestate disbar him??? Can you be a sitting judge if you’re disbarred? I will literally pour money into a legal assault on this SOB.

What fence sitters, R99?

R102 again, what is disbarring him going to do? How will it stop him from being on the Supreme Court?

R98- Honestly why would she want to do that at this point? She's already put herself in the meat grinder for this guy- why would she want to keep stringing it out and wreck her own life for nothing?

The only thing that could shift them is polling. Hopefully somebody can crank it out over the weekend with a Monday morning release, assuming the vote is next week.

[quote] My client Julie Swetnick is demanding the opportunity to be heard, together with at least one supporting witness. The Committee is refusing to get back to us and allow the testimony. I just sent the below email. My client deserves the right to be placed under oath and testify.

We need to sic the lawyers on him for real. I don’t know r104, I’m literally ASKING. Can a disbarred person continue to sit on the bench? I’m not a lawyer. Do you know the answer?

Kavanaugh's former Yale law school classmate Mark Osler thinks there needs to be an FBI investigation

R108 it doesn't matter. You do not have to have any legal background to sit on the Supreme Court.

r104, I think you have to be a lawyer to be a judge

R111 you do not have to be an Attorney to sit on the Supreme Court.

Even if the ABA can't do anything, the optics are bad. It's not that Kavanaugh needs a death blow, but he could die by a thousand cuts. If more things like this start to pile up in the next 24 hours, they might have no choice but to delay or cancel the vote.

I agree another bad polling could help. Plus anyone else who comes forward to dispute his testimony.

No offense to democrats but people need to step forward, let’s hear from independents too, but some politician somewhere has got to start being effective against these repugs.

There is a solution to every problem, it’s just that neither democrats, nor the public at large, can seem to figure out how to fight this.

All these rethugs are lawyers and what they are pulling is typical criminal defense attorney tricks and stunts.

Democrats need to figure out a way to fight this populism and speak to all Americans.

They need to disrupt the propaganda narratives and challenge everything and everything these rethugs do.

They need to get aggressive. stay on message and speak directly to the people.

LINK_brett kavanaughs finances. This guy is a shady wreck. What a mess.

Well, they can start by reminding everyone that we need to believe women — period!!!!!!!!! Some how the entire country got amnesia on that point.

Can protestors block the entrances so GOP Senators can't get in the building to vote?

At this point Republicans do not care about Optics. They know they can eat babies on live TV and get away with everything. Nothing matters to them.

They are ruining the environment, being hostile to women, taking away healthcare, driving business out of areas that need it the most with extreme state legislatures, trade wars, god knows what they are doing with education and national science initiatives like cancer research. Yet millions of fools vote for these people. How hard could it be to give them a better message and a better deal than that.

[quote] look what this bitch was doing tonight

Eating fast food chicken nuggets ? The bastard !

[quote]when will there be a viral video of Lindsey Graham being shamed?

When will there be a viral video of Lindsey Graham being pissed on by 14-year-old Thai ladyboys while he shoves a dildo with Christ's head up his own ass?

Because that's what I imagine Putin has on him at this point.

Wasn't Kavanaugh gushing about the ABA?? Now they've turned on him too.

Part of me hopes tht the Repugs will vote for him so they will deal with the long overdue wrath they deserve.

Moveon.org is organizing a nationwide protest tomorrow at noon, in case you are interested.

And yes we are in a war. It's called the Gerasimov doctrine, it's real.

I hope those protests are well attended.

Blessed be the fruit.

The nominee’s testimony is looking worse and worse each time it’s played. And that will be 10,000 times this weekend.

Her testimony looks better and better every time it’s played which will be just as much.

Hang in there guys, this will be over soon.

Can you summarize r124?

He was so unprofessional today. God this looks awful in the replay.

Yikes face.

Something is up with the wife.

How do you find out how much he put down on that house?

I believe her story but what was the story with the gf she went with? she denies the event? I haven't been following as closely.

Alan Dershowitz is calling for a postponement until the FBI investigates.

When you've lost ALAN.....

R118- Oh, they care about optics. Otherwise they wouldn't have hired a "female assistant" to do the questioning. Actually, they wouldn't have had a hearing at all, if they didn't care about optics.

I listened to most of the hearing on streaming audio, and only actually saw Kavanaugh in excerpts tonight. My God, shocking. Just in his physicality and expressions, it was the most repugnant public performance I've ever seen.

Oh, and all the perjury.

Do we have pictures of the tasteful abode?

The replay is brutal.

R50, Don Lemon polled his panel before signing off and all predicted a Kavanaugh confirmation.

IF IF IF IF IF BK is telling the truth and Ford is lying he should personally ask for an FBI investigation.

A little part of me actually believes he's innocent of the sexual assault allegations. But what I believe he's afraid of getting uncovered, is his shady financial and gambling past.

Honestly, if he was telling the truth an FBI investigation is a win win for him. He gets his name cleared and the seat on the court is all but guaranteed his. He's technically qualified for the job, and after this circus, even dems would vote for him. But he reeks of shadiness and has major "I need anger management" face.

Lemon did WHAT to his panel, r139!!?? 😮

I saw a little bit, his beginning part was good. He brought up some interesting points, for example, none of the people she claimed were there back her up. Even the gf she went with... etc. Then he pretty much lost it after the part about his kid saying they should pray for her and he was sniffing non-stop and I stopped watching. I couldn't believe how pathetic he was! Get your shit together ffs.

R127, Seriously? She looked like a truck driver, with a Minnie Mouse voice.

I dont put much stock in his friends saying they weren't there. Remember they didn't even say they weren't there they claimed they didn't recall.

And why wouldn't they protect him? He's on his way to being in a very powerful position and he can ultimately help them down the road. If nothing else, I'm sure they know with all his meticulous journaling he has their secrets locked away to use against them as well.

I hold on to little things. Like I have to believe the question about whether he was watching Ford's testimony was pointed. They didn't ask it for no reason.

Maybe they'll use all his lies against him to build a case for impeachment.

R93, What Avenatti needs to do is a nude pictorial, a la Levi Johnston. Is PLAYGIRL still online?

The more I think about it that man made an absolute fool of himself... invoking the Clintons just sounded nuts. He was nuts. This is a Supreme Court justice? Pathetic.

I don't agree R140. Look at the way he filibustered the drinking allegations. That's the key. If he admits to getting so drunk that he blacked out, then everything else unravels. Look at his behavior today. Granted he's going through some stuff, but that behavior was out of bounds. That is a motherfucker who can rape a chick with his buddy and laugh about it while he's doing it.

It speaks volumes about his character that he has been ripped to shreds like this and his wife and daughter have been put through this and didn't step away from the nomination. Yeah, it's a good gig with good benefits and a lifetime appointment, but is it worth putting your wife and daughter through that hell. Yeah, he's gonna get confirmed, but he'll be forever known as Justice Rapey. Another institution decimated by Trump.

Shorter r148=only a piece of shit would act the way Grabby Kavvy did today.

We are being governed by criminals. This entire establishment must be overthrown. Who has dirt on Graham? She needs to go down first.

Oh r150, the senatrice always goes down first.

Sure, Gerasimov is a Russian general. R128

His doctrine, I think 2013-2014, is about waging war, psychologically and technologically. Is uses propaganda to achieve specific goals. So, for example Putin hated Clinton and so used propaganda to debase her. Russian interference in the Brexit vote is another example.

Putin wants to break up Western alliances, and assert Russian dominance in the form of a new Russian empire.

I linked to an article and also Michael McFauls articles are worth reading.

I hope the victims press charges against Kavanaugh. He can spend his judgeship in prison.

R146 I like the way you think

R70, I liked this from one of the people who commented:

[quote]Something is up with the wife.

She can go fuck herself as well. Watching her face at the hearing it was clear she knew every word was true.

When someone else is involved, Stockholm Syndrome isn't a passport out of complicity.

If there's a picture of him watching her testify, which is completely possible since it was reported by the WSJ contemporaneously, would that blatant lie for no fucking reason at all be enough for a charge of lying under oath?

AND I GRADUATED FROM YALE!

R127, but I think they have the floor vote on Saturday.

I will say that out of ALL the crazy shit that went down, it really is beyond odd that Kamala asked if he watched the testimony. Why why why???? She couldn’t have known how he would answer, she had precious minutes to use, out of all the questions, why THAT? There must be a reason. I need to know what it is. Obviously, someone witnessed some unusual behavior while he was watching her, no? And then reported this back to the Dems?

“The more I think about it...”

The pundits haven’t had time to really sit back and watch it again etc...

When you watch this thing a second and a third time, it’s very bad for him. Each time it gets worse. That’s why I’m still not convinced they’ll confirm him.

Wrong r159

R162, when is it?

He had a full blown meltdown on live TV. The dems already won, no matter how it shakes out.

Next week

Lyin’ Ted got outshined today by Lindsay Ham.

Lyin’ Teds diatribe sunk like a lead ballon. You could just hear the collective eye roll in the room.

[quote] can’t remenver her name, she was on Rachel (the lady who originally broke Anita Hill), but she was saying based on Kav’s testimony, anyone and everyone who has to face SCOTUS must demand that he recuse based on his reeking partisanship. I concur!!!! Every fucking case that faces SCOTUS must must must must demand his recusal.

I saw the interview as well. I cannot remember the name of this woman either. I do remember her saying BK should recuse hiself due to "conflict of interest."

Did they not have a closet they could have used for the testimony today?

Jeez, talk about packing them in.

Maybe we will hear from the other witnesses this weekend.

I don't feel so good

R161- That's why I think the wheels are going to start to come off starting tomorrow.

Because in a few short hours we went from "the ABA, which Lindsey Graham in his eruption today called “the gold standard" to the ABA asking for an FBI investigation and a delay.

I'm from the UK but the news channels over here also covered this story majorly with live coverage of the hearings. It kind of makes me grateful that our system for appointing judges here is very different and not so party political. But exactly how many senators from the Republican side need to rebel to block his appointment and who are the most likely to do so? I thought it was disgusting the way Christine was cross examined by a barrister and the potential supreme Court judge wasn't. It would be a terrible new low for America and the GOP party if he is confirmed.

I'm rewatching his testimony with the sound off and he looked totally unhinged.

If they had to make a decision today he would have maybe made it.

But he’ll be toast by Tuesday.

"After Ms. Mitchell began questioning Kavanaugh on the July 1, 1982 party, Grassley stopped any further questioning from her. It needs to be investigated by the FBI, but we all know it won’t."

So it looks like the July 1 party has something to do with it. Isn't someone named PJ the same person that Ford was quoted on BEFORE that calendar came out? Why didn't the Democrats follow up on that?

[quote]I thought it was disgusting the way Christine was cross examined by a barrister and the potential supreme Court judge wasn't.

The GOP did that on purpose because the entire Republican side of the committee is (white, old) men and they felt the optics looked bad to have them attack her so they hired a woman to do their dirty work. Once Ford was gone, the grandstanding by those same men began.

R175, you're pretty sure? Hope so...

Lindsey Graham — BuzzFeed News needs to figure him out 🏳️‍🌈👬🌈👨‍❤️‍👨

And the "unhingedness" is pure acting, r174. You can see him literally shift gears in his head as he quickly and seamlessly morphs from one emotional state to another conscious of exuding related physical facial expressions. That 'out of control' behaviour was scripted by Trump. KavaNo was tutored by Trump on how to get through the hearings.

KB was a good little student today.

r133, She has health problems and her lawyer wrote it. She contacted Ford after it was reported and apologized.

Somebody needs a go fund me to pay for an investigation into Graham, starting with iwhat happened that day on the golf course.

I promise you it will raise enough money for a thorough investigation. (Remind people that Hillary went through 20 investigations, Graham can go through one) .

A go fund me would raise a fortune.

It would be nice to get to the bottom of what happened out there on the course that day.

One of the retired posters or possibly someone who does not work full time can post the go fund me and organize it.

I’ll donate and so will countless others.

Post the link in its own thread.

r174, I watched it with the sound and he also looked unhinged.

That agitated state of mind was no accident. It was meant to deflect, to go on the offensive and turn the attention away ....create drama, excitement. Keep everybody in the room on tilt. Off balance. Deflect Deflect Deflect.

A Washington DC reporter for The Atlantic:

Interesting: A source close to Senator Manchin tells me now, "Short of claims that definitively prove Dr. Ford's allegations or a realization that Kavanaugh will gut the healthcare law, Manchin will side with the overwhelming number of people in WV who want Kavanaugh confirmed." 1,071 replies 4,214 retweets 10,284 likes

A former senior White House official told me @LindseyGrahamSC's performance "may have saved [Kavanaugh's] bacon."

Elaina Plott ‏Verified account @elainaplott 2h2 hours ago

The mood in GOP circles was glum during Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony. But by Thursday’s end, lawmakers were confident enough to quickly schedule a vote.

We need a poll in WV to prove that they overwhelmingly want this guy. Even fox’s poll disagreed.

I need to see the receipts.

I don’t think they want him even in WV.

Alabama, anyone?

Nobody wants this guy. The polls reflect that.

The people who vote yes will rue the day.

If only Addison deWitt had been there to critique the proceedings!

To the Senatrice.."You're too short for that gesture."

I think old man Grassley is going to bully repubs into a vote tomorrow, and Kav will likely move forward to a full Senate vote. I pray that enough members there have a spine.

Pride Goeth Before a Fall

Mark it down -

This is NOT going as well as the Repugs and their PR are trying to spin it

I must have missed this but has he also lied about even knowing who Ford is? Or did he acknowledge that?

So is the Senate voting tomorrow, Friday the 28th?

Slow the Fuck Down

The Judiciary Committee has schedule a vote tomorrow

If the Judiciary Committee votes to recommend it to the Full Senate

There will still have to be a Full Senate vote scheduled next week

No matter how they vote - they Truth will come out

Or perhaps Saturday.

To r354 from the other thread, I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I didn't write that I wasn't going to vote or "protest vote". I didn't talk about voting at all. I wrote that I was depressed and that I feel hopeless. Watching Cruz, Cornyn, and Graham standing together looking smug and happy made me sick. It telegraphed what is to come. Take your own advice.

One of Brett Kavanaugh’s college roommates has come forward to talk about the Supreme Court nominee’s drinking problem, and also about a dead pigeon he found nailed to his door.

Kit Winter was an out gay man at Yale University in the early 1980’s, the same time that Kavanaugh attended that school. They lived together in a three-person suite, with Winter in a single room and Kavanaugh sharing a double room with James Roche.

Roche has already talked to the media about how Kavanaugh was a “aggressive and belligerent” drunk, and several other people who knew Kavanaugh in high school and college have contradicted his claim that he never drank so much that he had a memory lapse.

Winter, too, recalls Kavanaugh’s excessive drinking, remembering Kavanaugh and his friends as “loud, obnoxious frat boy-like drunks.”

“There was a lot of vomit in the bathroom. No one ever cleaned it up. It was disgusting. It wasn’t incidental. It wasn’t, ‘Oh, this weekend someone puked in the bathroom.’ People were constantly puking in the bathroom. Constantly.”

In an interview with The Cut, Winter describes an incident involving a dead pigeon that he found nailed to his door – the door to his room, not the outside door to the suite.

“I interpreted it as an act of social hostility slash terrorism,” Winter said. “I thought it was a very clear message. ‘We don’t like you, and we don’t want you here.’ I didn’t know who it was who didn’t want me here. I didn’t know who had done it.”

Several of his friends at the time corroborated that a bird was nailed to the door, although no one knew who did it.

“I remember that Kit was really unhappy with his roommates,” said Lori Adams, a retired psychiatrist who was Winter’s friend at Yale.

“They were jocks and Kit was an out gay man with peroxide blond hair. He was uncomfortable there. And he didn’t spend much time there.”

Winter didn’t report the dead bird to the police and he didn’t ask to change rooms, since he had already asked the dean to move him into the empty single-person room in the suite.

“I think my general response was, screw you,” Winter said. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Winter also doesn’t buy Kavanaugh’s claim that he did not drink excessively.

“Having witnessed the level of drunkenness of Brett and his crew in that dorm, and the vomitous aftermath in the bathroom, I find that very hard to believe,” that he never had memory lapses while drinking, Winter said.

“I was not a blackout drinker, but there’s tons of stuff I don’t remember because I was drinking a lot, frequently. Anybody who drank a lot in college and can stand up 35 years later and say, ‘I am sure that did not happen’ inherently lacks credibility to me.”

“Devils Triangle: A threesome with 1 woman and 2 men. It is important to remember that straight men do not make eye contact while in the act. Doing so will question their sexuality.” ————

Interestingly, googling may bring up a Wikipedia page that describes it as a drinking game. Only that part was added today. From an IP address connected to the House of Representatives.

[quote]From an IP address connected to the House of Representatives.

I hope they can narrow that down to a specific office.

I can't believe the look his wife gave him the entire time. She knows it's all true. All of it.

Yeah R14! Say a prayer for your mom to abandon your misogynistic, narcissistic sociopathological drunken dad. Don't forget yourself Liza when putting that prayer out there. Your whole life, forever, has been tainted beyond repair. 2070 and you'll still be feeling the stench and the stinging stain.

Amen

R36. All agree. Great comment.

Does anyone know if there is a march/protest planned in NYC for today (Friday) or Saturday? I'm ready to go but can't find anything. Nothing on moveon.org, as someone upthread posted.

If he switched to vodka permanantly (as he did during the hearing today) would he look less bloated?

i've only seen him sitting down, does he have a beer gut?

Genius at R59. The truth. Cannot be denied.

Seriously, what's with the fucking marches? They haven't done a god-damned bit of good up to now, does anything that's going to change? We've lost this one. Thank the people who were too fucking lazy to vote in 2016, the Bernie bots who refused to vote for anyone but their Man-God, the halfwit Green voters, the Obamas who didn't lift a fucking finger to help HRC, HRC for running a lazy, sloppy campaign. What has to happen now is that we have to treat November like it's the most important election of our fucking lives. PERIOD.

Mary, everyone likes to pin this on 2016 (that was the nail in the coffin) but this started way before 2016. The Republicans gained control of the Senate in 2014 after gaining the House in 2010. Do you know how much of what's happening now wouldn't have been happening if people had of been voting back then?

Interesting that you blame Hillary and not Putin’s hacking and propaganda, R211, what the fuck, your falsely equivalizing list is sly.

[quote]had of been voting back then?

Please omit the "of" next time.

American Bar Association calls for a delay on the vote.

R213 Not to mention the Trump enabling media. Hillary warned everyone that Trump was a Russian stooge! But Obama & FBI Comey kept silent because they were too timid and you know, "rulez"! Of course, never forget NYT came out to refute the claim! Now we can see rushing to jam unfit Kavanaugh into the SC is essentially part of their coup to legitimize all their assaults on democracy!

Someone with money and influence should hire a private investigator to ferret out Judge's employment record while working at the Safeway. The July1st entry on the calendar is important. When Mitchell referenced it in her opening questioning Graham got rid of her. And launched into his community theater level performance. Manchin is a yes if Flake, Collins, and Murkowski fold. I honestly hate the DINOS more than the Republicans at times. And I thought with a couple of exceptions, Booker, who for once came off as sincere and not pandering, Durbin, and Kamala, who might have caught him in a lie about watching Ford's testimony, the Democrats were ineffectual.

R183 fucking love the dig at DL. 😂 very smooth. Didn't have to say bums and government check collectors.

R203, you're exactly right about Kavanaugh's wife. She stared at the back of his head for 6 hours! She barely reacted. Barely moved her head or looked elsewhere. I joked in an early thread that she must have taken a double Xanax today.

I wonder if Rape Boy Brett has gotten to the bottom of tonight's first vodka bottle yet.

Here he is in this photo of his Bible Study Class.

Kavanaugh really displays the hypocrisy in American values for all to see... A product of white male privilege who abused his powers over women all his life crying like he's the victim of unjust accusations.

Collins has been itching to vote for Kavanaugh since the very beginning and I don't think Dr. Ford's compelling testimony moved her at all, IMO. She's a fake moderate who will toe the party line in the end. I think Murkowski is leaning more no than Collins is FWIW. But that's if it makes it to a floor vote.

The only wild card remaining is whether Flake votes no during the committee vote, and if the past two years has shown anything, it's that Flake will vote Trump's way every single time while blaming "both sides" during his floor speeches. Liberals putting everything on Flake tomorrow morning is not a winning proposition. The committee vote doesn't even really matter because McConnell can still bring it to a full floor vote regardless of whether it fails in committee.

I'm still so confused about why Kavanaugh brought up the Clintons during his opening testimony. It fires up the right wing base and Trump of course but it was partisan garbage unbecoming of a Supreme Court nominee. I'm surprised he didn't bring up pizzagate while he was at it.

Is it [bold]Mrs. Kavanaugh[/bold] who was seated behind Dr. Ford during her testimony today?

If I were her, I wouldn't want to be in the shot.

His partisanship - whether on SCOTUS or back on the appeals court - is now documented. How can he rule fairly? Undoubtedly, cases involving Planned Parenthood and perhaps election fraud, money laundering, emoluments clause, etc, are bound to come before the court.

It was not Mrs. Rapey, R224.

Yes, R224. That's wifey, sitting a few rows in front of Alyssa Milano, of all people.

[quote]Please omit the "of" next time.

No, R214. I don't think I will. Thank you for contributing nothing at all, you useless piece of rhinoceros pizzle.

A Republican-affiliated group released an attack ad against a Democratic candidate in California for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, on the same day Republicans dismissed Dr. Ford's allegation. I live in the CA-39 district and saw it on the air last night and violently rolled my eyes. Republicans are now picking and choosing which sexual assault victims they believe.

Just like Megyn Kelly (229)

The Alabama senator tweeted he's going to vote no. Avenatti retweeted.

Good for Doug Jones, R231 - unfortunately he is a Democrat and so it is not a switched vote however!

[quote]r226 It was not Mrs. Rapey,

[quote]r227 Yes. That's wifey, sitting a few rows in front of Alyssa Milano, of all people.

I want a polygraph from BOTH of you.

Answer the question, DLers: [italic]To the best of your knowledge and recollection, is that Mrs. Rapey McWifeypoo staring Dr. Ford down, or NOT?!

That's her. She had a haircut, change of wardrobe, and lunch-hour plastic surgery during the 45-minute break.

R215 #DisbarKavanaugh is trending.

All his testimony lies will be dismissed with lovely legalese, such as, he didn't "watch" Dr. Ford's testimony, although it was playing in the room, he was otherwise engaged in his own thoughts and was not focusing his attention blah blah blah.

I have no hope or positive expectations from the repub senators (and Manchin). We're fucked now because too many assholes in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin couldn't be fucked to vote in 2016.

this entitled piece of shit drunken misogynistic bully will now be part of establishing federal laws for decades to come.

The woman sitting behind Dr. Ford was part of her legal team. Mrs. Fratboy was sitting in the aisle seat behind and to the right of him. The one staring at the back of his head looking unconvinced. The one time she did show emotion was when he mentioned how his 10 year old daughter told her sister that they should pray for the woman. I feel sorry for his family.

R212, You DO know that "of" is a preposition and not a verb form?

Wonder if the Judiciary Committee will pause due to the American Bar Association request? Doubtful.

Wanna bet that drunk Brett had some paid abortions in his history?

[quote]R241 Wanna bet that drunk Brett had some paid abortions in his history?

I'M NOT ADVOCATING ANYTHING: but I have to say, I'm surprised in this day and age of lack of privacy/security that some angry hackers, or disgruntled lovers, haven't dug up info like that on him and sent it everywhere. Maybe when you become a judge you cover your evidence better than regular people...?

I guess part of it is, too, that anyone close enough to him to know about his crap is probably deep in it, themselves (like slimy, drunky MARK JUDGE), and doesn't want to be implicated.

R242 Of course... men like Trump and Kavanaugh, they have been unabashed jerks since at least puberty, and yet they get passes through all their life to reach powerful positions in government. It is just the rotten side of American culture, that as these men gain more power and prestige, people will keep their secrets for them, and they can also suppress any accusations with the "law", hush money and intimidation.

So I've been wondering, with his partisanship so obvious and well documented, can that be used in future cases that go before SCOTUS? For instance, if there is a case involving alcohol in some fashion, can lawyers argue that Kavanaugh has an obligation to recuse? Will SCOTUS even hear an argument like that or are you prohibited from showing that you can't get a fair trial in front of SCOTUS?

He admonished his friends that they needed to keep everything that they did in the past, in the past. and to be very careful with what was said around the wives about the good old days. ESPECIALLY around the wives. "What happens at Georgetown Prep STAYS in Georgetown Prep." Remember?

McConnell has already said he'll take this to an up-or-down vote in the Senate even if the committee votes against nominating him.

You need to be contacting your Senators now.

There is no obligation for SCOTUS justices to recuse themselves ever R244 They are allowed to make that decision for themselves.

r145, last week she asked another question that kind of stuck out as being her catching him in a lie.

My understanding is that, yes, they could investigate him for perjury --- if the kgb agreed to investigate, which they won't.

Where the DLers from Maine, Arizona, Alaska, West Virginia, Indiana and Colorado at?

Whelp, I stand corrected: MoveOn has NOTHING on their webpage (or FB either, I think) but there are tweets:

r242, really? You're surprised that Putin funded hackers haven't publicly released the info they hacked and with which they are using to blackmail him? Really? Rub those brain cells together.

What if the sitting Supremes (minus Thomas, for obvious reasons and probably Gorsuch) also released a statement stating that they do feel he is fit for the job they do?

I was thinking about that earlier R256 What if Roberts issued a statement that he’s concerned about the reputation of the Court if this guy gets confirmed without these allegations being proved or disproved? What a nightmare it will be for the Court if the GOP rushes this guy through next week and within a month or so we get clear and convincing evidence that he committed perjury today.

The sitting Justices will never do any such thing. Once you get to that level of power and privilege, you stick together regardless of alleged differences in ideology.

That's why RBG was good pals with Scalia, and why Franken and Sessions hung out together, and why all the presidents are friends (except Carter).

A catholic friend posted this today

The Senatrice Graham needs to go down, he is gloating now and thinks he was a big man speaking up. grrrrrrrrrrrr

All those gop geldings need to be hauled to the glue factory.

Had a thought that Graham's performance, and it was exactly that, was meant to butch up his image. He's being called out on Twitter for being in the closet and compromised by the Russians. He denies being gay. What if he isn't? What if his real sexual proclivities are more in line with Trump and his pal Epstein? What if Aunt Pittypat actually likes little girls? Wouldn't that be a kick in the head?

r262, there's no way he likes girls of any age.

Lindsey Graham does not like little girls.

His personality change is probably a combination of kompromat (money and sex related) plus being promised a cabinet position.

You fuckers are warped. Lindsey Graham is still waiting for the right girl.

Almost 24-hours later I still can't get past the unseemliness of his behaviour yesterday.

Maybe the majority feels that way too. It was demeaning to all, even him.

[quote]He denies being gay. What if he isn't?

Oh, sweetie. He couldn't be any gayer. Rainbows fall out of every orifice he's got. I have never been an advocate of forced outing, but it's time for that bitch's glass closet to be shattered in a million pieces. He's earned it.

People are speculating about a thick envelope Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee handed to Dr. Ford's attorney.

I laughed when I saw her quickly exit the room after the chairman announced the hearing had five minutes left. She was like gurl I need to beat all this traffic LOL

.......and they said Trump would never be elected.

😱 ...... Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Graham is closeted gay, only to himself.

In South Carolina, it has been known since he first entered politics. During campaigns, both primary challengers and Democratic opponents have referenced it, but no material evidence is provided. Rumors about Graham and certain men have floated, but none of his alleged flings have come forward. That may be that his connections are other closet types who also have an interest in staying closeted. If he has used male "escorts" via apps or otherwise, nothing has come to light so far. If he is sexually active with anyone, he is very clever in keeping it hidden from the media and political opponents. What Trump conveyed to him at their first golf outing, certainly has led to speculation that DJT knows something, and is using it to control Graham. Graham's Emails were hacked by Putty hackers, so if some blackmail is at work, it is yet to be verified.

This opinion piece in the Washington Post is pretty funny. I had to open it an incognito window to get past the firewall.

How soon before we find out what the vote was?

r266 somebody on my Facebook made a comment that we all better hide our yearbooks. So some people are still buying his schtick and think he is being unfairly picked on

GoFundMe campaigns have raised more than $500,000 to cover Blasey Ford's costs

One campaign has raised over $300,000 to help with Blasey Ford's personal and security costs.

The topic came up during the hearing because Blasey Ford was asked how she paid for her polygraph test.

Sen Flake says he will vote yes on Kavanaugh.

FUCK FLAKE

Susan Collins has been fingering herself all morning. She's blown about ten lady loads so far.

R275 The GOP "moderates" are actually GOP cowards. What do you expect?

Don't buy into the lie, there was never any swing votes.

Let's win in November. Let's win in 2020. And let's put two more Justices on the Supreme Court to undo the damage that KavaNO will inflict between now and then.

And FUCK anyone who says that is "politicizing" the Court. The Rethugs did that decades ago: Bu$h v. Gore.

R202 reminds of some that struck me as creepy and odd yesterday that I haven't seen remarked upon anywhere else yet.

Kavanaugh launched into a story about some friend of his who didn't like Kit Winter got the idea to move all of Winter's possessions out of his room and dump them outdoors during a weekend when Winter was away from campus. Kavanaugh was chuckling and calling it hilarious. The senator questioning him had to drag him back on point. What the hell besides stalling did Kavanaugh think he was doing there? If he was trying to charm and amuse with tales of his "hilarious" antics it was a failure. He was cut off and all that did was further reveal his smarmy, callous, clueless self. "Ha, Ha! Look what we had planned for the fag!"

Was anyone else struck by that? Sorry I can't recall which senator was questioning him. Klobuchar? I'd been watching all day and by that time was frazzled.

Lindsay Graham basking in right wing favor.

Kavanaugh stated in his hearing that he could be an "impartial" and "fair" Supreme Court Judge.

Then he proceeds to confirm that he lied under oath when he went nuclear on the "Ranking Member" (she has a fucking name, assholes) and the Democrat conspiracy. He sounded just like Trump.

If Ford ever shook with rage and ranted like Kavanaugh, she would be accused of being "an hysterical female".

R273 I've seen some people I know post #ibelievebrett

Fucking Deplorables

Graham did an about-face after his golf outing with Trump and his trip to Russia.

Sure, he could be blackmailed. He might have also been promised a cabinet position or something like that. The about-face was so obvious.

[quote] If Ford ever shook with rage and ranted like Kavanaugh, she would be accused of being "an hysterical female".

Morning Joe on MSNBC defends that anger as the natural reaction of an innocent man.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Is there any evidence that the White House and Brett Kavanaugh are connecting on strategy? Because I hear a lot in the media yesterday about this is what the President wants. He did what the President wants. Do you really think the President is pulling the strings on Judge Kavanaugh's approach and strategy in the middle of these hearings?

JONATHAN SWAN: I don't think that yesterday's anger was manufactured to -- I've heard people say 'audience of one.' Just as a viewer, it seemed if were, if he did believe he was innocent of what he's been accused of, not being angry would not seem natural.

BRZEZINSKI: I know. Yeah. I kind of agree with you on that. I kind of agree with you on that.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered (if so, just point me to the thread). Since the Constitution does not specify the number of justices of the Supreme Court, what will it take to increase its number from the current nine?

It’s going to happen, R296.

Congress can change it but even if there's a blue wave... they wont be able to change it until he's out of office.

Is worse than if they just fucking said, "Dr. Ford is a lying liar."

"I believe something terrible happened to Dr. Ford ... but not enough to try to get to the bottom of it."

I just want to smack Kavanaugh in the forehead until that wrinkly bump thing over his nose flattens out. What the fuck is that? He didn't have it in the younger pictures and I've never seen someone get just one giant nose-based forehead wrinkle. If you scrunch your face up in a grimace so your face looks like an asshole, that area does pucker up like that but how the fuck often does he look like that to have made it permanent?? I guess now we know what his sex face looks like!

R317, it's already ordered.

R315 It's all the sneering he does.

I’m afraid Mark Judge will lie through his teeth and protect Brett douchebro

Anita Hill weighed in.

"Hill noted that during Thursday's hearing, Kavanaugh 'was able to express a real anger, an aggression, as well as a lot of emotion.' No female Supreme Court candidate, she said, 'would ever have the license to express (herself) in that way.'"

"'At the end of the day, I certainly believed her, [Ford]' Hill said."

[quote]r14 My wife, Ashley and my daughter Liza were saying their prayers — Brett waxing poetic

Maybe we’ll see a St. Liza in our lifetime?

Judge may spill the beans to a practiced FBI interrogator; he may say something that contradicts facts even if he's not being upfront that could be important in the investigation. They could always have the FBI do a good cop/bad cop type of scenario, too. That sometimes gets a witness to be say something they maybe didn't intend to say.

He has a daughter named Liza?

He could always join a Kabuki theater group if he can't get employment in law.

The wife could even say the word “characteristic” in the Faux News tongue job.

As in, “that’s not a charact...(pause... Brett’s eyes dart to her)...err, I mean...(shrugs, shakes head, rolls eyes) ...it’s hard to believe.”

Yup. I’ve been in a household like that. I know exactly what’s going & it's not good.

That’s a woman who fears for her life. Bretty is powerful. He has powerful friends. They could off her & make it look like an accident. She knows it.

We've had one for quite some time, r322.

This show has too many cliff hangers! I wonder if they'll kill off the judge? Or will Lindsay Graham wake up next season and it will all be a dream?

The plan was to appoint Kavanaugh early this week so that he would be seated in time for this ruling. It was in the bag. Saves everyone involved from state charges. Not only Trump but all políticos who were knowingly enriched by the $$$ funneled through the NRA into the coffers of McConnell, Graham, Rubio, Ryan, etc. So if Kavanaugh gets appointed he’d effectively vote to stop states from charging Trump or anyone else involved. Obstruction of justice."'

I swear when I looked earlier the facts seem to be in place and this was scheduled for October. I just checked the blog again and now that case has been moved from October to an undetermined date.

Proof they're all trying to fucking obstruct justice.

It hurts Brett ...cuz ur guilty as fuck

If a SC case ends up with a 4-4 tie vote, they can rehear the case after Kavanaugh is seated and before the final determination.

But the point is R343 that's not what they're doing. It was originally scheduled to be reviewed early in October and now all of a sudden (I'm sure with no connection to the events of today) it's been pulled for some future date.

Avenatti tweeted today he and client are going to give their story this weekend

well he threatened if the senate went ahead with "advancing the nomination" this afternoon. Hopefully they'll still come forward this weekend

His clients will likely be interviewed by the FBI, and not go public, r346. That'll be the least impactful to his clients' personal life and family.

As for Senator Lindsay Graham's application to also be admitted to the next year's class of the Copacabana Class of 2022, based on his performance at yesterday's hearings and especially his questioning to Judge Kavanaugh:

You're too short for that gesture. Plus an actor needs to have a standard American dialect in order to have maximum flexibility in the public sphere.

Application (dis)Respectfully declined

R271, I saw that Washington Post piece elsewhere and thought at first it was something from The Onion. Then I realized it was real and that Thursday actually happened and then I wanted to walk in front of a bus.
