Each woman who has accused Kavanaugh should file civil suits against him. It's a lot easier to get favorable rulings from civil suits. He should be tainted for the rest of his career even if he did make it to the court. He doesn't deserve one ounce of respect.

Democratic Senate candidates can start raising more cash off of this immediately and going into the home stretch more money is always a good advantage. The House is already on track to flip, but the more seats that can be flipped the better. People are really angry about this confirmation and anger drives voters to the polls more than anything else.

I hope Judge Stevens has security. These crazies are not above attacking a 98 year old man.

Drinking until you get sick is a definition of drinking to excess and anyone who has drank that much has probably blacked out at one point or another. The information that is trickling out is exactly what Republicans were worried about. Kavanaugh is being revealed to be more and more of a liar.

This entire mess is going to help turnout women voters in suburbs. The number of women who have been assaulted or harassed is incredibly high, so women are being triggered. My mom revealed to me years ago that she had been assaulted twice and she just mentioned again a couple of days ago. Further back my great-grandmother and a great aunt both had children as a result of being raped, but of course never received justice because of the era. For Kavanaugh to still even have a chance at being confirmed is infuriating and makes a lot of people even more anxious to vote.

From an HR prospective Kavanaugh wouldn't get hired to stock shelves before a store opened. I took an HR course and learned a lot about how hiring works even for the simplest of jobs. The fact that he is still being given a chance shows how out of control partisanship is right now.

There is some suspense in the room, but these situations can be totally unpredictable. Flake has a visit to New Hampshire scheduled which of course means presidential exploration so he could flip to remain viable but the odds are long of that.

He went from screeching about the Clintons to sobbing about calendars, so he certainly showed a couple of personalities. That aside, I found the Niki/Viki scene on Youtube and I'm watching it now.

Indeed. The level of emotionally instability he has shown is quite telling.

The soap opera fan in me hopes that Kamala Harris goes all Herb Callison and sends Kavanaugh into a Karen Wolek style meltdown. I know, it's hoping for too much for life to imitate art.

Actually hearing the account is definitely a lot different than reading. I cried listening to her testimony.

There is no way this nomination goes through now. It's already evident that the votes are not there to confirm and there are probably even fewer now.

He clearly was on some sort of sedative or mood stabilizer giving that speech because he was speaking slower and less screechy. Of course it couldn't stop him from saying anything stupid, but it was enough to keep him from going completely crazy in a venue where the country could least afford it. This isn't the first time he appeared to be heavily medicated, he looked the same giving a speech at G7.

I agree with this that there are plenty of people who make it through college without having sex. It was the fact that he tried to present himself this way while being accused of assault that made it seem quite suspicious.

He's desperate and all he has to work with is a fake image that he is some kind of saint. Fox News viewers will surely believe it but realistic people will not.

He's going to go as far as to say he never had sex in college? Some people don't have sex in high school (I don't believe he was one of them), but college is bridge too far to be believable.

That interview will do about as much good as one asking for receipts for crack. It will only make things even worse than they already are.

There is almost always more than one incident and more than one accuser. If this nomination goes to the floor it is getting voted down. Bye Bye Brett.- The Politics Thread
When a judge starts submitting something as useless as calendars as evidence you really know that desperation has set in.- The Politics Thread
Bachmann actually beat him out for the Republican endorsement in MN-6 back in 2006. I never thought I'd be thankful for Michele Bachmann, but had it not been for her defeating him he might have made it Congress and quite possibly still be in there. - The Politics Thread
