It’s no news that this assault was never going to trial. That’s terrible, but evaluating the Ford case for prosecution was never the point of the hearing. The purpose was to determine if Kavanaugh is suitable for the SCOTUS bench. Mitchell is plainly on a distraction mission, namely to discredit Dr. Ford and muddy…

“At some point I think we have to admit we have lost the nation to the worst people, and that merely saying “Hey, that’s not fair,” just isn’t going to cut it. Not that I have a viable solution”

Anyone with a smidgen less entitlement would have withdrawn their name by now. This guys a fucking sociopath. A raging drunk sociopath. 

I don’t like to compliment Lindsey Graham, but he would make an excellent Blanche Dubois.

Ok, so he “can’t commit” to teaching in January because he’s assuming he’ll be appointed to the Supreme Court, correct?

I heard he’s going to be directing a production of Street Car starring Lindsey Graham as Blanche Dubois.

I guess that clears space in his calendar then.

I understand the difficult situation that Manchin is in with this nomination. Kind of a lose-lose for him -- vote against Kavanaugh and the Republicans vote you out, vote for Kavanaugh and the Democrats vote you out. I sincerely hope that, confronted with these limited outcomes, Manchin sees that the only real course…

Not to diminish in any way the horror contained in that account, but I have seen some savvy political minds on twitter warning against becoming overly invested in the anonymous contributions as they may have been falsified by republicans so as to water down the confidence in the named accusers/increase skepticism…

I guess two wrongs don’t make a Reich.

It gets even worse!!

Okay, but like, this is an actual quote from Curvy Wife Guy:

A transcript from a non televised Senate interview with Kavanaugh has a letter from an anonymous victim that has not been talked about at all (page 13):

I’m with you. Precision in language is important even in non-medical or non-scientific discussions.

Vulva, not vagina. The vagina is the interior, canal part. The vulva is the exterior including mound, labia, vaginal opening, etc. It’s an important distinction.

I remember receiving and giving them in times long forgotten.

Right?!

Huh? Oh. *pause* Joggers. *plays with hair*

P.S. This still assumes, of course, that the Dems regain control of both the House and Senate. And, of course, a bill to increase the size of the Supreme Court bench would need to withstand a Presidential veto, so that ain’t gonna happen until at least 2020.

Look, impeachment of a justice isn’t gonna happen. It would actually be easier to just increase the size of the bench (e.g. to 11 or 13 justices) and then fill the bench with justices who aren’t creeps (like Thomas and Kavaaugh) or thieves (like Gorsuch). That’s as easy as passing a bill.  The Constitution doesn’t…
