Judge K, despite Dr. Ford's testimony, will be confirmed and . . . do you posters believe or not that his confirmation will lead to a greater Democratic vote on election day?

I do. I think the Dems' margins of victory will be even greater, in reaction to K being on the Court despite Ford's testimony.

That is why McConnell is forcing Judge K on to the Court. The Senator knows that the GOP window of power in the Senate is closing.

If the GOP survives with a one or two vote majority for 2019 and 2020, McConnell knows there are at least six GOP senators on whom he cannot count in the future on the big votes.

If the GOP majority does not survive, McConnell will have at least put Judge K on the Court.

 

Can't vote, the options suck. Should have asked if he'd be confirmed as one option, then added additional criteria after. I feel he'll be confirmed and it won't effect anything at all. This isn't what the country is worried about or the direction anyone really wants to go. In fact these allegation bring a different set of problems. That fact they are almost 40 years old and Kavanaugh was in high school will set a lot of people on edge. If this is taken seriously every male in the country is on notice, not to mention every mother in the country with a son...

 

I think the GOP in Congress will stand up for what is right, and will refuse to give in to the outrageous tactics of the New Democratic Party.

Attempting to destroy someone the way the NDP has established as a standard, does not go down well with people.

 

lol... well not every guy in the world got blackout drunk and attempted to rape somebody in high school. I mean, maybe that's standard where you come from, but that's well beyond normal on the west coast.

 

Prove he did anything wrong at all. Or are you one of those liberals that stopped believing people were innocent until proven guilty? That is what is really at risk here. Unproven accusations can ruin someone's life, and that damage cannot ever be repaired. Its not like women can't be deceptive, just ask Asia Argento.

 

They don't really care.

At this point it's really just BAMN.

 

He will get voted in and it will not impact the mid term elections.

 

The OP was narrowly defined to see what posters thought if the confirmation would result in a greater Dem turnout.

The Trumpers say no.

 

Kavanaugh will evoke stare decisis, and claim it is a high-tech lynching for elitist prep school boys.

 

**** the Progs, time to be human.

 

Well we're not talking about putting him in prison, so the standard is not beyond a reasonable doubt. When it comes to whether somebody should be given a life appointment to the SCOTUS as opposed to any other anti-abortion nominee that Trump could put forth, preponderance of evidence would be good enough. I have not firmly decided, but given the polygraph I am inclined to believe her. Congress should hear from both of them and any witnesses they can get. Ideally, Kavanaugh would take a polygraph about it too.

 

Should a man who does not respect women nominate a man who does not respect women for SCOTUS, to be judged by certain men who do not respect women. "She is mixed up."

 

The American electorate, that will see an upsurge by women in their participation in November, may express some cogent thoughts concerning that.

 

Leading question in that poll.

 

Besides, as noted elsewhere, 1 Timothy 2:11-15 gives man dominion over women. Religious fundies believe any woman who prances around in a skimpy swimsuit with drunken men deserves what she gets. Ergo, the attempted rape of a 15 year old by a 17 year old drunk is not a problem in their opinion.

 

Well, as it stands today, Republicans on the senate judiciary have invited Kavanaugh and ford to testify next Monday. Kavanagh has agreed, Ford has yet to RSVP.

 

Odds are, like Thomas and Anita Hill, Kavanaugh will be confirmed and the RW movement to dominate women will continue.

 

The RW invited her to tell her story.

 

Yes they did. Why do you think a woman, who had wanted to remain anonymous, would do so on public television...or not?

 

Ford will testify, if necessary. Judge K will withdraw his nomination by Friday.

 

Disagreed. Why would she subject herself to that? What is there to be gained? Kavanaugh, 17 year old drunken rapist or not, will be confirmed and he will sit on the Supreme Court for 30 years ruling with a Bible in one hand and a gavel in the other.

 

Judge K will be in front of the senate judiciary Monday defending his name.

 

The statute has already run on anything 40 years ago.

The bytch should have complained earlier.

What was a 15 year old babe doing at a drinking party anyway?

 

Yes.

He and his alleged co-molestor both said they do not remember anything like this.

And the babe cannot say whose house it was at.

So this smacks of fiction not fact.

Clarence Thomas all over again.

 

Jeeze !!

Should a babe that waits 40 years to complain about something be believed?

I don't believe her.
