The bigger question is how this charade influences the mid-terms.

A huge jump in pissed off female voters voting against the GOP out of an emotional response.

Hardly, most women don't associate themselves with the Ford's of this world, most every day women see Ford's of this world as thinking of themselves as intellectually and morally superior, the year books of these women show they're definitely not, but privileged yes. If you've ever worked in a mostly female environment you'd know this. Also, it's not the ordinary every day hard working women out there protesting, don't believe me, go ask them.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed it will haunt the GOP for years. Most women believe Ford, even 30% of Republican women don’t want Kavanaugh confirmed. Mark my words. The GOP is driving voters away with this.

Alan

Those figures still don't prove your case, or that "it will haunt the GOP for years".

You come across as one of those "confirmation bias" type people.

Too bad the polls aren't backing you up on that...

LOL!!!

words that you do not know wrote:

You have no clue what any of the above works mean.

Perhaps you need a dictionary or perhaps you have an alternative slang definition of the word hearsay that I am not aware of:

definitions of hearsay -

(1) The report of another person's words by a witness, which is usually disallowed as evidence in a court of law.

(2) Information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor.

He alleges he heard a story (ie. a rumor, ie. another person's words). Quite honestly Ramirez's entire story is based upon hearsay as she cannot even give a first hand account of the alleged event as she admits to gaps in her memory from drinking too much on the night of the alleged event and there are no corroborating first hand accounts of the event, even though there were allegedly other people there . She spent six days with a lawyer and contacting old classmates to come up with a story. It is likely Ramirez made the whole thing up to try to add credibility to Blasey Ford's allegations because she either doesn't like Trump, Kavanaugh or is ravenously pro choice and fears a reversal of Roe v. Wade. In spite of the lack of corroboration the FBI still interviewed her and ,as far as the early reports are concerned, got nothing of merit.

She volunteers at a place in Boulder (one of the most liberal cities in America) called SPAN where she deals with domestic violence victims. Her county commissioners released a statement that "The default reaction to assault or harassment allegations should be the immediate belief of the victim.", demonstrating their belief that the presumption of innocence in the legal system is wrong. It is not a coincidence that the two assaults they are looking into come from Boulder and Palo Alto, two of the most liberal cities in the country.

So, it looks like the old boys club wins again. I implore the women of this nation to reward them with the following:

Vote for women and progressive candidates at every turn and at all levels of government

Seat more women judges/DAs/AGs

Sign up for martial arts classes - have the skills to stop rapes and domestic abuse and, if necessary, to kill the perpetrators in self defense

Buy guns and learn how to use them

Re-ignite the push for the Equal Rights Amendment

If birth control access is threatened, counter lobby to similarly restrict access to ED drugs, baldness meds, and male hormonal treatments (It's God's will, right fundies?)

Teach your daughters to stand up for themselves and to NEVER take crap from a man, ever.

Teach your sons how to be decent upstanding respectful men - if you wouldn't do something/say something/act in a certain fashion in front of your mother, then don't behave that way to other women.

Make the men in your home clean up after themselves, take care of others in the house, do laundry, cook, etc. No longer be their servants, no longer be taken for granted.

Push universities to eliminate the Greek system - for both genders.

Enact laws to make underage drinking a serious crime - jail, community service, loss of driver's license, public shame, school expulsion, etc.

Criminal penalties for rape, sexual assault, and domestic abuse need to be very punitive to the point of deterrence. (Ex. - rape w/ irrefutable DNA evidence and/or eyewitness testimony is a mandatory life, no parole sentence)

Withhold sex (Won't harm most LRC posters!)

Heitkamp is voting NO.

I'm a little surprised she announced without knowing what Flake, Collins, and Murkowski are going to do.

Heitkamp would only need to wait for Flake, Collins, and Murkowski if she was planning to vote "No". If that were the case then she would need to make sure those Republicans were voting "No" as well.

But since she is a "yes", it doesn't matter. She can announce whenever she wants.

All of it really only depends on Flake, Collins, and Murkowski. They are the deciders and it sounds like Flake and Collins are voting "Yes".

Murkowski could still be leaning "No" because of local politics. But it probably doesn't matter.

Has this been posted yet? Devil’s Triangle does appear to be a drinking game. Four high school classmates confirm in a letter to the Judiciary. More proof....under one of these guy’s Yearbook picture, he identifies himself as “inventor of the game.” (I believe that the “9” before the entry is a typo - probably was supppsed to be a parentheses, which was on the 9 key on some typewriter keyboards).

Oh, and notice the 10 F’s following the Squee reference.

I guess Avenatti got that wrong, too.

If Collins votes no Murkowski will vote no and then Manchin will vote no. It’s really up to those 3, which means it’s really up to Collins.

Murky might just vote no. She has looked pretty disgusted this past week and is not beholden to this old boys club even if her brother attended same school as Kavanaugh in the same era.

Collins a likely yes. She’s going to play it safe.

Flake has said he’s okay with the report, but could have his very own McCain thumbs down moment. There is more out there than the report itself and Kavanaugh lied and it’s obvious.

Mancin is a bit of a wild card and could be the deciding vote. Either nixing the nomination or throwing it into a tiebreaker should Flake throw in a surprise no.

7:3 the drunk, lying, woman assaulting, politicized POTUS supporting, and now embittered BART O’Kavanaugh gets in.

Yea, I got that backwards in the first two sentences. Let's start again.

The only possible way Manchin is going to be the deciding vote is if he also immediately announces that he is switching parties.

Wow, and the lynch mob was ready to declare him guilty and even disqualify him for this.

This was also something from his testimony the mob was singling out as perjury, and he was being truthful.
