From his opening statement:
"This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about president trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record. Revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences will be with us for decades."
And this is the degree of partisanship and conspiracy thinking Bret Kavanaugh will bring to the SCOTUS for how many decades?

Quick yes or no question.
If kavanaugh had displayed this type of tone in any job interview would you hire him?
Yelling, demeaning, and dodging questions about sexual assault gets you a Supreme Court job? What are we teaching young people?

From Washington Post:
"The worst moment was his confrontation with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) who questioned him about blackout drinking. She explained that she understood alcohol abuse because her father was an alcoholic. Have you ever blacked out? she asked. He sneered in response, “Have you?” It was a moment of singular cruelty and disrespect. One saw a flash in the exchange with Klobuchar the same sense of entitlement, cruelty and lack of simple decency that Christine Blasey Ford allegedly experienced way back when, the memory seared in her brain of two obnoxious teens laughing at her ordeal.
After the break, no doubt advised by a White House minder, he apologized. But the damage was done. The spontaneous reaction was the real one."

Man, the media are more divided on this than on the Presidential election. The discourse is all over the map. Though I have to agree that Mark Judge is an important witness in all this. He's the only named witness.
Leave it to memes to bring home how ****ed this situation is.

Anyone know why Dr. Ford hasn't already brought a Civil action against Kavanaugh? I know the burden of proof is much lower than a criminal proceeding is it not?
So what's the potential story here.... Brett Kavanaugh was a star student and athlete at a prestigious boys school in Maryland. He and his circle of friends used to drink heavily and play various games. He and his group sometimes got drunk out of their wits and acted badly.
There's also some discussion about what a "devil's triangle" means. Kavanaugh claimed it's a drinking game, but some other people are saying it's a sex game. Anyone heard of this?

"The American Bar Association is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to halt the consideration of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until an FBI investigation is completed into the sexual assault allegations that have roiled his nomination.
Brett Kavanaugh committee vote to go on as scheduled Friday, Republican senators say
Each appointment to our nation's Highest Court (as with all others) is simply too important to rush to a vote," Carlson wrote. "Deciding to proceed without conducting additional investigation would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate's reputation, but it will also negatively affect the great trust necessary for the American people to have in the Supreme Court."
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.

Ugh more deep state???
This is just another Hillary clinton George Soros scandal. The bastion of liberal deep state, American Bar Association, is now colluding to destroy an innocent christian’s life. All because the left hates America.
I’m so tired of politics... but both sides are the same. Also, I’m not a trump supporter. Ford is such a paid clinton hack
Well done.

Isn’t it easier to believe that the ABA is a liberal Soros deep state organization than to believe that these 3 women are all lying?
Again, no republican here or on twitter has explained to me why these women would lie about being sexually assaulted by him.
Again, there are apparently two other guys who claim they may have been at the party, but they're remaining anonymous...

Repubs could abort this baby today and nominate another pretty quick. But they seem pretty content to die on Mt Kavanaugh. Hope this devastated them for decades.

Can’t possibly imagine why she’s only gone this route at this time and not done what you suggest
Might be related to the fact that they were both minors? Not sure. She would still need some real evidence to support her allegation. She could have gotten a complaint drawn up and filed weeks or months ago though.
She could still do it after she's appointed though right? I wonder if that has ever been done on a Supreme Court Judge? Through that process the court could subpoena all the witnesses including Mark Judge and they would need to start talking right?

Considering the crazy theories that have been going around regarding her motives at this point, I can't imagine how unhinged the right would become if she pursued civil damages.
