This just dropped too, sounds like a different person. Avenatti says he represents woman with ‘credible information’ about Kavanaugh

Senate Democrats Investigate a New Allegation of Sexual Misconduct, from Brett Kavanaugh’s College Years

I wonder if Philly would be willing to part with Fultz or Saric. Or Miami, with Winslow.

F'ing right. I'll just note that judicial standard for ethics, at least in Arizona, is the appearance of impropriety--not impropriety itself. We are well past the appearance of impropriety threshold for Kavanaugh. I'm honestly a bit surprised he hasn't withdrawn at this point.

Not super relevant, but this is just a devestating political ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZuayQFD51w

There were others at the party too, beyond Judge. It sounds like there were just 5 or 6 people, if half of those people disappear into a bedroom, and then someone "escapes" out of the room (and likely promptly leaves), the other guests (esp. teens) have enough to go on to spread rumors (evidently only Judge and Bart O'Kavanaugh were drunk).

Anita Hill: How to Get the Kavanaugh Hearings Right
-
I don't doubt that Feinstein's motives were in part political. But Dr. Ford's reluctance to come forward made it easy for Feinstein to hold it until the 11th hour, and finally force Dr. Ford's hand. The timing issue is only an issue because the GOP is trying to ramrod Kavanaugh in as quickly as possible. The only need for expediency is political one. I still think it's absurd that something like 90% of his writings from his time at the Whitehouse under W. haven't been released (even to the Senators).

MSN does not equal MSNBC. MSN is mostly just a news aggregator which is interfaced with Internet Explorer.
-
Dr. Ford is demanding an FBI investigation before appearing to testify. I think that's a sound strategy. The GOP may very well throw up their hands and claim they tried to hear her and force through the nomination, but I don't think that's politically viable.
-
She's passed a polygraph, and Kavanaugh's buddy (who was in the room) wrote a book corroborating that he and "Bart O'Kavanaugh" were heavy drinkers. If she seems at all credible, I don't know how Kavanaugh survives. How does Kavanaugh respond to a demand that he take a polygraph test? Does Kavanaugh admit to the heavy drinking? To the possibility that he may have blacked out? I'm not sure we even make it to Monday, I think Trump may pull Kavanaugh before then.
-
"And you would never know it by looking at me" is the last line of the ad, which of course, the ad is also trying to convey: that even under innocent appearance, abuse happens, often.
-
Kavanaugh looked inevitable. Not so sure that's the case anymore.
-
I'm pretty surprised that the Manafort plea deal includes his cooperation. I wonder if Manafort has any dirt on Pence, as the campaign was under Manafort's direction, when Trump picked Pence as VP.
-
He's just so stupid. What possible political advantage can he gain by denying the death numbers? I mean, I think ignoring the deaths and declaring victory was a much better strategy, as unseemly as that was.

He's always been a bit of blowhard, but now...

Many of the republicans, including Sessions, saw Trump as a means to an end (SCOTUS, taxes). Many still covet that end above all else, but those numbers are thinning, though not as much as any notion of humanity would demand. These people are Machiavellian in the most literal sense; they will only bail ship once their goal is put in question. I think Session realized that sooner than many GOPers (it only came so soon because of his proximity to the orange spreading death); his ambitions weren't augmented by Trump, but rather put at risk. Sessions is clearly beholden to the echoes of racism and white power, but he's also made a career on law and order, and the notion of impeccable personhood; he was willing to lie about Russia (and his contacts with) right up until the point he was caught--his worldview, and any hopes of acting upon it, did not allow him to continue such a lie after being caught. (He is just like the anonymous Op-ed writer, and many others, whom have not quite. They do not relinquish power, though they admit their hold on it is immoral)
-
But that's true of any minority population, whether based on geography or not. We shouldn't give bonus points to rural people simply because they are in the minority. There are plenty of other minority groups who have equal claims to being under represented, should we give them extra votes too?
-
And it's being administered by a private attorney who had worked for/with Kavanaugh (not to mention is the person attorney of Steve Bannon among others).

Leaked Documents From Kavanaugh’s Time in White House Discuss Abortion and Affirmative Action
-
Yes, they do. It's not just ideology. It's that he's refused to recuse himself from potential cases that implicate Trump. That he's written about the President should not be indited while in office. And he's refused to answer simple questions like whether the President can be subpoenaed (which precedent--from Watergate era--suggests the President can be). And whether the President could actually pardon himself. And more, there are still undisclosed documents which Kavanaugh authored, which has never happened with a SCOTUS nominee before. Perhaps that is just overreach by the Trump admin; but if Kavanaugh authored memos about the President's lack of liability or about immigration or torture under the W. Bush regime, that's certainly relevant. Kavanaugh was always the kind of candidate that is pretty far on the margins that his vote would fall along near party lines; but he's been bread for this, so his career has been designed to insulate him from the scrutiny he know faces. There is no need to hurry this, let's see everything he's written, and lets get his commitment to recuse himself from issues that involve the man that nominate him.
-
It's not a bad take. I think Lindsey thinks that he needs be in a position so that the president listens to his advice. Similar to the anonymous collaborator and the others who vowed to protect the country from Trump.
