Cavanaugh Confirmation hearing: LIVE THREAD

[jt315]

I love when that happens.. They try so hard and crash hard every single time... Dems can't win at anything these days since Trump took office.. I really hope Kav gets the votes now!!!!

We get to witness another confirmation and another Dem. meltdown .

[Auto Donk]

I thought you said he wouldn’t get confirmed?

dumbass, getting out of committee isn't confirmation.....

havent' heard how the two bitch repubs on the fence feel......

[MinnesotaFats]

She lied

Victims of an assault disassociate and run from assailants in future confrontations. Speaking from first hand experience of what my sister had gone thru.

Her own testimony acknowledges other social occasions with Brett and worse, being friendly and outgoing with Mark just days after the incident was supposed to have occured.

A real victim would have seen Mark and turned on a dime out the door, not be chatty. Same if she saw Brett at another party....she wouldn't have hung around.

Anyone who has or knows a victim of a true assault knows the natural reaction victims have. Ford's testimony contradicts human behavior, and was completely scripted by lawyers.

I know but I thought you said he wouldn’t get confirmed......which is it? I said he would all along.

[d2bets]

Long day.

Anyone else gonna check the chart and fall asleep?

[hostile takeover]

There's a bunch here I'm sure that won't really remember the Clarence Thomas hearings. This crap is deja vu. Difference is this time we're talking about quaaludes and rape trains instead of pubic hairs and coke cans.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Watched some highlights and it still could go either way as to who is telling the truth. Unless either party involved just admits to lying about the events in question, we get no definitive answer. 35+years is a long time to remember how events exactly occurred.

Cavanaugh has little yellowish reptile teeth which is unsettling.

If if he has enough votes to get pushed forward, they should do it. Otherwise, ask Trump for another candidate. We sat through 2 years of Republicans stalling any Obama appointee to the court. We do not need 2 more years of stagnation. Too many on left are overreacting that things like Roe v Wade and protected classes will get overturned. That won’t happen. Republicans hit the clinics too.

Sorry to hear about your sister but not everyone is going to react the same after an assault.

Insane comments. Not everyone reacts the exact same way

[ericc]

Kav will probably get the votes but she is credible and most every sane person thinks that.

You can't believe her without believing him, and you can't believe him without believing her.
Great day for democracy.

[Thor4140]

....and now the Dems put the home addresses and phone numbers of Republicans on the committee on Wikipedia to encourage violence!

How low will these people go!

"We didn't leave the letter"

LOL

I figured your one story was bullshit now i know it was

Ford really lied when she said she was afraid to fly and doesn't fly. It was established today she was flying regularly with no problems what so ever.. I can't believe no one pressed her on that lie.. I saw that earlier and was scratching my head?

Kav was never caught in a lie like that on the flip...

That was her lawyers who said she didn’t wanna fly. Just to stall for time. Not exactly easy to move your family and testify in front of the world in one day.

Did Kavy lie about watching Ford's testimony?

Kavanaugh Monitoring Hearing From Elsewhere


Among those watching Dr. Ford’s testimony was Judge Kavanaugh, a committee aide said, from a monitor in another room in the Dirksen Senate Building, where he awaits the opportunity to tell his side of the story later today.
UPDATE: Judge Kavanaugh said during his hearing that he did not watch Dr. Ford's testimony. He said he had intended to but was preparing for his own testimony.

^^

Simple and direct question that he couldn't have possibly misunderstood. If it can be proven that he watched, that's perjury, and he should be charged.

[jts1207]

Hilarious all the libs trying to defend this nonsense. Absolutely buried today. Lmao

no kidding.

But they likely think the world is flat and OJ never killed his wife and her friend.

Of course he did. That’s the first thing I said when he said he didn’t watch it.

Who was buried? Kavanaugh looked bad and majority believed Ford. Are you ok?

Lied like Senator Blumenthal up there talking about credibility when he was busted for stolen valor about his Vietnam lies.....Cory Booker preaching about women when he was pushed away from grabbing a boob in college but still grabbed it again against a girls will or Dems and media saying old white men scare Ford so shouldn’t even look at her....then Leahy, Durbin, Whitehouse and Blumenthal all spoke to her.

I don’t usually like Lindsey Graham but damn he was pissed today and showed some spine out there.

Step away from MSNBC. Anyone with half a brain saw what happened today.

[gojetsgomoxies]

i have a semi-factual question and a rhetorical question,

1) how long is the alleged incident supposed to have lasted? 5 seconds? 3 minutes?...

2) if this incident happened last week, what would happen to 17 year-old accused? what charge?

3) sorry, i'll throw in a 3rd question... doesn't stuff like this happen every weekend at large public universities frat houses etc.? without criminal charges being laid?......

[d2bets]

And if nobody noticed, I think Mitchell pinpointed the day -- that July 1 day. His calendar included two of the people say Ford were at the party. And he talked about drinking heavy that day. And then the R's cut Mitchell off.

Dems blew it. They grandstanded about the lack of investigation rather than honing in on the details the way Mitchell was (maybe) going to.

Excellent question. I wanted this asked and unless I missed it, it never was. Ford needed to be asked this. Exactly why this all needed a professional investigation. This was a sham. Just about of grandstanding. By the senators. And by Kavanaugh too. Very little about the facts and details.

While you present great questions, none of these types of attempted rapes happen anymore. Men are put away for life in highschool rounding first and trying to get to second.

[ByeShea]

Sen Bob Corker going to vote yes ... that's big for the judge.

I’m watching football dummy. Kav was bad and she was credible. Even fox said that....so you know it’s bad

The real question should be, do we put a proven liar on the supreme court for life? Just man up dude (kavanaugh).

He’s getting confirmed and I don’t think Corker was ever in doubt.

[JIBBBY]

That was her lawyers who said she didn’t wanna fly. Just to stall for time. Not exactly easy to move your family and testify in front of the world in one day.

Right, all they had to say is they need more time and why!!! No reason to lie.. Lawyers represent the clients.. Led the American people to believe that Ford had a real fear of flying.. Mean while Kav was getting his name smeared for 10 days til he was heard today..

She was smiling talking about her travels by flight. Oh, and this wasn't political.. Right.. Delay delay delay.. Lie when necessary, make up 3 sex assault claims against a man with a 40 year impeccable track record and JUDGE of law just to delay the process. Lie about flying fears to delay the process...

This is exactly why I don't vote Democratic anymore...

Graham just angling for AG job....kissing trump ass. That’s all he was doing.

I got to get 2 Christmas gifts this year. A box of hankies for the JUDGE & a box of condoms for the fat man? I never saw a man cry so much!! WTF!!

Took the words right out of my mouth.. Can't agree more with this post of yours!!

Didn't Graham once say "My party has gone batshit crazy.", well that seemed to be on display today.
