What's the Dem's plan for their Kavanaugh hail-mary?

[Saz]

Because he is the subject, even if it is an otherwise routine work matter, when he is the subject at hand its a life altering matter. Lawyers are a bit like doctors in this sense - its one thing to operate on someone else for the 1000th time, quite another to be operated on.

That said the whole hearing is staged. Please don't believe his yelling anymore than you believe his tears. The guy is putting on an act, as anyone in his position would. I will say I know a more than one scouts clerk and the idea that this guy was crushing kegs and raping chicks while gunning for positions like that seems like a bit of fantasy. Not to say people like that can't get ahead, but its a different sort of aptitude for something as wonky as appellate litigation. If Bad Boy Brett really was the fratstar the democrats claim, it points to the final fusion of what was once an intellectual pursuit, and the dirty and grimy world of politics.

The character being painted of Kav is one of a politician, not a judge. This is perhaps the most troubling thing to me. The spittle and the tears at the hearing are par for the course, clinton also wept.

i agree with philly that his temperament and his partisanship are simply reason enough to block the confirmation

but i also agree with saz that it was staged. you say the spittle and tears are par for the course, since clinton also wept. clinton was a politician; kav is painting the picture of himself as a politican more than anyone. it was a political calculation that the better play would not be acting like what we all think about when we think about as a judge, but as a whiny kitty claiming the world is out to get him, like trump

[John Galt]

guys it's come out that there is a police report about how kavanaugh thew ice at a guy in a bar in 1985

he's so done

[exploited]

His perjury has been established and officially documented now. There is some weasel room there though. Not sure about witness tampering.

so this is third parties literally playing telephone? withholding judgement as to whether or not kavanaugh did it. if kavanaugh did indeed do it though he should be disrobed

[ToddStarnes]

Yeah if that story is true he should withdraw and lawyer up.
