    It seems they are treating Kavenaugh ‘s accused worse than Anita Hill. Never thought that would be possible.

    I had pretty much given up on the Xpresswest higher speed Passenger rail line between Palmdale/Victorville and Las V.egas. Now Brightline out of Florida is acquiring it. They already operate between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.

    While Brightline uses the Florida East Coast Railway right of way, Xpresswest will be running primarily on an alignment built alongside Interstate 15.

    Um, shouldn’t there be more people corroborating Kavanaugh’s behavior as a drunken elitist white boy by now, if this comparison is valid?

    In 1991, the FBI reopened a background investigation. Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas were interviewed. Every day more people came forward claiming firsthand knowledge of the events. It’s time for the FBI to do the same today. Why are Republicans resisting an investigation?

    Relax. The case is solved.
    It was the doppelganger!

    Turns out the party in question actually took place at the home of a different boy, a home located on the North Shore of Lake Michigan. This kid Joel had hair almost exactly like Kavanaugh. It was his senior year and he was under a ton of pressure working to get into a top school. His parents were out of town for the weekend and after goofing around in his underwear singing along to Bob Seger, he got mixed up with a call-out escort named Lana and her pimp, Guido. Things went downhill from there and comic hi jinks ensued.

    But it all turned out okay in the end. Joel bullshitted his way past the admissions interview. I guess past really is prologue.

    Why not?
    Along with fine Chesapeake society traditions like private horse races, Ocean City crab feasts with plenty of Old Bay seasoning, and judges in red robes, the state of “Manly deeds, womanly words” has no statute of limitations on felonies like sexual assault.

    And there is absolutely nothing in the constitution to prevent any local prosecutor or magistrate from indicting a sitting Justice of the US Supreme Court. The could even be convicted and imprisoned.

    @ 8

    And there is absolutely nothing in the constitution to prevent any local prosecutor or magistrate from indicting a sitting Justice of the US Supreme Court. The could even be convicted and imprisoned.

    You are absolutely correct, QoS McHillbilly.

    There may still be two slight problems with this approach, from my perspective.

    1. Ford would have to testify. Before Kavanaugh’s opportunity to reply.

    2. Kavanaugh would be permitted to face his accuser.

    Oh, and then there’s that oath thing before testimony. We’ll see how that goes, too. This wouldn’t be some Title IX kangaroo court at a liberal college.

    Pretty sure it’s Constitution, not constitution.

  10. 10

    “Pretty sure it’s Constitution, not constitution.”

    Not while The Date Rape Party is wiping its collective ass with it.

    And just to be clear, you just confirmed that you Ride-or-Die Kavanope fan-boys are comfortable with pinning your hopes for locking down all the vajayjays on a Justice who will have this shit hanging over his head until the day he dies. What DiFi, other Dems (and even quite a few Klownsurvaturds) have done to this guy will seem like a debutante cotillion compared to what will happen if he goes on to implement “due process” restrictions on legal abortion, as expected. With every case and every vote, that will be at the front of his mind.

    You could have had a “safer” nominee. One who was liked, respected, and didn’t have to commit perjury to get confirmed. But you let the Biblical kooks do the steering this time. And in case you haven’t noticed, Kavanaugh played them (and you). He’s still playing them (see Ed Whelan). It just becomes less artful as time goes by. Dems aren’t the only ones trying to torpedo this nominee, you know.

  11. 11

    Comment from the internet:
    The consequences for voting Trump and kidnapping kids and locking them up is almost biblical at this point: fires, floods, red tides, coal ash, pig shit, and hurricanes.

  12. 12

    Future acts of perjury the nominee might be forced to undertake:
    “”I had no part in this thing Whelan did, I do not endorse it, and have never suggested anyone take such a story forward.” That’s a tough one.

    Let’s face the obvious (because fan-boys like Teh Dumbfuck never will) somebody directly involved in the nomination shared the name of Kavanope’s accuser with Whelan before it was made public. The WH denies any part of it. McGahn would never have approved this shit. Who’s left?

    I certainly couldn’t blame the nominee for becoming unnerved when this story broke. Obviously a whole bunch of klownsurvaturds did. But at least Kavanaugh enjoys the benefit of a large and one presumes talented (I have some doubts now) surrounding him to give advice and comfort. All he really had to do was lay low, show up at a hearing, be humble and respectful, stumble through a denial, and order his new robes. Instead he does this?

    The longer this goes on, the worse it gets.
    No other options, right? He’s the Flight 93 nominee. Oy.

    Until just now I had always associated “Fabian” with the shitty American payola music of 50s. And I also learned that hornets don’t like to get wet. Maybe it’s best to regard each of Carson’s spontaneous outbursts as some kind of Klownsurvaturd Zen koan.

    -Afraid to let a routine independent investigation precede a public hearing.
    -Afraid to adjust the scheduling to accommodate a witness receiving constant death threats.
    -Publicly floating insane theories proposing alternative perpetrators.
    -Constantly revising the theories and/or apologizing for them.
    -So uncertain of their nominee they don’t dare wait until after the next election.
    Can’t you just feel Republican’s sense of pride and confidence in this nominee? I’m sure he feels it.

    Honestly, if they pulled the trigger right now and withdrew him from consideration there’s actually enough time before the election for them to convince themselves that it was their own idea. And it would be in their best interests.

  24. 24

    I’m reading that Blasey Ford’s letter alleging assault by Kavanaugh was sent to her Representative and not to Feinstein. By not sending it directly to Feinstein she avoids prosecution if her allegations are proven false.

    Small wonder she wants to control the questioning should she choose to testify. No Representative to protect her once she’s in front of the US Senate Judiciary Committee.

  25. 25

    Speaking of clowns, maybe someday in the future Republicans will somehow manage through extroidinary luck, unprecedented grass roots efforts, and plenty of foreign espionage attacks, put together a slim vote majority controlling both chambers in Congress combined with the White House and thus be able to just put their nominees onto the courts without any interference from Democrats and all their “rape” victims.

    Oh, wait.

    From Kimberly Strassel’s Twitter feed:

    A week ago WaPo emailed Judge for comment before publishing a story. At the time WaPo had the name Leland Keyser and included it in the email it sent to Judge.

    When WaPo published the story it included the names of the boys alleged to be at the house when the supposed incident occurred.

    WaPo did not include Leland Keyser’s name in that story.

    Clinton’s unsuccessful campaign ($768 million in spending) outspent Trump’s successful one ($398 million) by nearly 2 to 1. The Democratic National Committee and left-leaning outside groups also outspent their Republican counterparts by considerable margins.

    YLS doesn’t just have to deal with Date Rape Party power-couple Profs Chua and Rubenfeld and why they counseled clerkship applicants to show their legs when interviewing with Kavanope.

    They have now revealed the existence of an ongoing internal investigation into harassment on inappropriate conduct by Prof. Rubenfeld.

    The longer this goes on, the worse it gets.
    And the Date Rape Party’s preferred option is that it go on forever. While that may have dubious consequences for future electoral success, it does promise to be a very effective way to “cleanse” the party ranks of “elitists” and “globalists”.

    Imagine that. I agree with Ken Starr. I too “was outraged about the timing”. As were most Democrats on the committee. Imagine how the highly anticipated, televised public hearings at the beginning of this month might have gone if committee members and their staffs had this information before hand and plenty of time to prepare, investigate, and examine witnesses.

    ” By not sending it directly to Feinstein she avoids prosecution if her allegations are proven false.”

    Like Ed Whelan, these defense theories of yours seem to have a shelf life measured in seconds.

    If her allegations are false her attorney would not allow her to answer questions from the FBI, much less plead with them to investigate.

    If her allegations are false her attorney would instruct her to invoke, not demand that she be given an opportunity to give sworn testimony before a Senate commt.

    If her allegations are false the folks with the most to gain by delaying and getting to the bottom of this would be…
    Republicans and their nominee. And the folks with the most to lose would be…
    Class 1 Senate Dems and every Senate Dem auditioning for Iowa 2020.

    Why on earth would Mitch McConnell jamb his fingers into hears ears, and sprint past an unprecedented opportunity to disgrace and humiliate DiFi, Durbin, Booker, Harris, Schumer, Warren, Heitkamp, McCaskill, Donnelly, Manchin, Nelson, Tester, Baldwin, Brown, Casey, and Steabenow? He lives for that shit.

    There must be an explanation. If only there were any other possibilities. Like an evil twin. Or a mortgage foreclosure. Or sun spots. Or George Soros. Oh well. Very confusing. No time now to figure it out. Gotta hurry. Because… reasons.

    Evergreen estimates about 350 freshmen will be enrolled when classes begin on Monday, Kaiser said. Total enrollment is expected to be about 3,100 students, down about 14 percent from 3,610 last fall, and from 3,787 in 2016-17. The enrollment estimate is comparable to enrollments in the early 1990s.

He’s still counting the downfall of people like Al Franken as defeats for liberal men instead of victories for progressive women. And he likewise credits himself and other turds for the defeat, rather than crediting progressive women for the victory.

    By the time Dumbfuck and “his ilk” realize that by first overselling a particular nominee and then digging in Republicans are harming themselves it will be too late. Whatever electoral gains McConnell foresaw in selling this nominee to Ralph Reed as “The Chosen One” are now all but gone, as evangelicals and other womb worshipers struggle to reconcile the image of righteous choir-boy legal warrior with dildo wielding blackout drunk.

    Assuming it was inevitable, perhaps this timing is preferred rather than after the mid terms. Barring a resignation from Sesh, a new or at least an acting DAG will have to be named before the mids. With six weeks to go a baseline relationship toward the OSC will be established and set the tone going forward. Revising that relationship after the mids will at least be more difficult.
    Whatever that baseline relationship is, it will set the political tone for the mid terms.

    The fact remains, it has always been the adminstration’s plan to trigger a political/Constitutional crisis after the mid terms. That is PornSweat’s demand in exchange for his “restraint”. It is the project that people like Kelley and McGahn have devoted themselves to. It is all happening right out in the open where everyone can see, while refusing to admit to it.
