Roe vs Wade.

It’s a liberal orthodoxy for some reason and they are programmed to defend it at any cost. It was not in danger with Gorsush, who ironically also groped Blasey Ford apparently.

What makes it credible? She’s the only person alive who has any recollection of the party, much less the assault. I’d like you to answer this?

because Gorsuch was only replacing Scalia


This. Gorsuch didn't tip the balance. Kavanaugh replacing the "swing vote" of Kennedy does, turning the court into a reliable 5-4 conservative court.

Plus, there wasn't a mid term election coming up with Gorsuch. This ploy from the Democrats is a two front attack

1. Push the confirmation vote until AFTER the mid-terms in hope that they win back the Senate.

2. Assuming #1 doesn't happen, use this a fodder to bash Republicans in campaigning for the mid terms.

Objectively, I don't know if #2 accomplishes what they hope it will accomplish. Leftist already hate Republicans and Trump with every fiber of their being. It's not like they can hate them MORE if Kavanaugh is confirmed. This doesn't provide any additional motivation for their voters. Maybe additional fundraising, but not motivation.

However, most rational people see through ridiculousness. At worst, we are talking about a teenager who touched a titty. Because the "charges" are so ridiculous, but covered by the media with such hyperbole projecting that the event in (maybe) '82 is tantamount to rape, it very well may fire up a group of conservative leaning voters who otherwise may have been apathetic. The thought being that leftist have lost their minds and this dog-and-pony show is ridiculous

People like BamaAtl have ZERO understanding of our legal history and legal framework. She worships the religion that is identity politics. Therefore, if the accuser is a traditional victim and the accused a traditional oppressor, the mere allegation is sufficient to prove guilt, regardless of how vague or absurd it sounds. In fact, BamaAtl has a lot in common with white jurors in the Deep South pre-1970's. She is willing to convict someone based solely on the immutable characteristics of the accused and the accuser.

What!!!

Regardless, they were apoplectic about Kavanaugh, even before that bullshite was brought up. So that's not a reason.

Documentation from 2012, the recollection itself, the way Kavanaugh and friends are panicking instead of denying the way an innocent person would.

Actually I'd love to see a fat, sassy, black woman, that believes in socialized medicine, unions, whatever.

Only sometimes she gets serious. And in a flat monotone voice, she'll say "I hate Lucifer with all my heart."

Then she'll look at you, like Superman melting a hole in a steel wall with his heat vision, and start singing "Holy, holy, holy. Lord God Almgighty..."

That would pucker more butts that need a bad puckering than anything else I can imagine.

What in the frick are you talking about? Kavanaugh has unequivocally denied it. The other alleged witness has denied it. Everyone who knows Brett Kavanaugh has said this is inconsistent with his character. He has repeated on multiple occasions his desire to testify and clear his name. You are a liar and a moron.

Just trying to figure out the end game here. Gorsuch seemed like a cake walk...now they've released the hounds of hell against Kavanaugh


Also, Gorsuch pushed back on them when challenged about certain things I remember when one of the Senators asked him about his rulings and the little guy(average people)and he rattled off a list of decisions wherein he ruled in favor of the Plaintiff or the individual against either the government or corporate America......he shut them up

"I don't remember it", reticence to have an unbiased investigation to clear his name, and working with Whelan to try and put forth an obviously false "it was my evil twin" theory aren't exactly hallmarks of a guy who knows he's innocent.
