Appear in front of a Senate committee to back up your bullshit? No can do.
Shut up and vote.
She will play from the red tees
I predict she will choose the closed session. That’s the win-win for her maintaining her privacy and Democrats to characterize her testimony any way they want. Would Kavanaugh then be given the option of a closed session? That’s a trap for Republicans.
Her lawyers are ALL Dem activists.
Grassley humored her enough.
"Safety" from what? Legitimate questions?
If it’s a closed session, she won’t be able to emote for the stupid SJWs and cat ladies at home who make up the Dem base.
Define fair. Define what adequate measures can be taken to ensure her safety.
A blogger from the National Review online is claiming there's a good chance a football-playing lookalike friend of Judge's was the Blasey Ford's attacker:

10 AM is the deadline. No agreement, call an immediate vote. You have to punch these bullies in the mouth, repeatedly.
I hear she's getting her nails done that Monday, so no can do. Delaying tactic par excellence. Some else will become a factor after humoring her for the 2nd time.
It's over. Open session. Monday. Vote.
And in a perfect world she'd suffer the same consequence for her accusation as the accused would've if been found guilty. But momma always said the world wasn't fair.
I'll settle for destroying her reputation.
So, a yes but. Grassely should call her on the phone, ask her for a date, he can either agree or say so sorry, we move forward without you. Ford is no in a negotiating position. Grassely and the committee are going out of their way to accomadate. Ford pissing on their shoes is not really helping.
On another note, the left is demanding the FBI investigate. Grassely lays out in his letter exactly why that is not something that will provide any clarity. To paraphrase Grassely, the FBI does background investigation. They talk to your neighbor, ask if your a good neighbor. You say yea, he's good, mows the lawn, helps with the block party, no wild parties, but, I'm pretty sure he deals drugs, not out of the house, but he does deal.
So now the FBI does not continue on the trail tracking down the veracity of the claim, the call the appropriate law enforcement agency and give them the lead.
In short, the FBI is not going to do the work Ford wants done, chasing down leads, to corroborate her story, all they would do is pass on the accusation. Which has exceeded the Statute of Limitations. Which serve to keep a power hungry govt from infringing on citizens rights
Something will tur up next week as that date draws nigh, just yet one more week, that's all we're asking....Rinse and repeat right up till the election.
She can be accompanied on the plane by a federal marshall, driven to a secure location to spend the night, and then be escorted to a closed session of the judiciary committee. Her face might be all over the news, but putting her hair up and wearing a hat should keep gawkers from recognizing her. It's not like there's a fatwa out against her.
"You have to punch these bullies in the mouth, repeatedly." A couple of times more than absolutely necessary, yes.
A blogger from the National Review online is claiming there's a good chance a football-playing lookalike friend of Judge's was the Blasey Ford's attacker:
When one lie wasn't good enough, why not double-down, especially after one so convenient as to smear a 30 year jurist, with another that attempts to save some shred of her dignity by reinforcing her victim status.
Why delay? The FBI has made it clear there's not going to be any investigation.
And now we've found out that Feinstein gave the unredacted letter to the Post or the NYT, but not to Grassley, the chair of the Judiciary Committee. Why should anyone countenance this?
Still, given the circus that Booker, Kamala and the rest created during the hearings earlier, I can easily see Ford fearing for her safety if she has to reveal she lied--the chances of the protestors ripping her apart is pretty high, I would imagine.
Her safety is easily assured by simply stating publicly she is not a republican congressperson nor a republican candidate for office.
This is Critical Race Theory, but with a smear. My smear has dignity, terms, and conditions. My smear will be treated with fairness, and I am the final arbiter of that fairness. It's not fair until I say it is fair.
It's all in the soap opera channel. Nobody's after facts. Women emoting and what can men do to salve their upset this time.
It's all very anti-feminist, the feminist point of view being man up ladies and drop it.
The FBI investigated. They found the claim not worth pursuing. Why act like it hasn't been weighed in on by the authorities?
Testimony by morse code from home would be secure and renew interest in this musical form of communication in the young.
Too late. Find her in contempt or dismiss her case.
Clever maneuver from Ford team: Senate Judiciary Committee rules require consent of the minority for chairman to schedule a hearing with less than one week notice. So now, without Dem consent, earliest hearing could be is next Thursday.
-Byron York
Drag her in by her hair.
Does anyone with an IQ above room temperature believe this sob story BS about her safety?
My guess is that Kavanaugh has received more hateful and threatening messages than Ford has, particularly given that she scrubbed all personal information from the web prior to going public.
As far as I know, the only political figures to have been physically attacked have been Steve Scalise and the guy running against Swalwell in CA. They have two things in common - Republicans and ignored by the media. If they were Dems, it would be a daily feature in the MSM.
This is all orchestrated, folks. The American people are being played for fools.
It is a test of the American character, not just the Dems and Reps.
Oh, look at this:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/09/christine-blasey-ford-published-eight-studies-about-abortion-pill-and-worked-for-company-that-produces-it/
Christine Blasey Ford Published Eight studies about “Abortion Pill” and Works for Company that Produces It
Professor Christine Blasey Ford, while working for Stanford University, was also affiliated with Corcept Therapeutics (2006 – 2011). Her new Wikipedia page describes her as “director of biostatistics at Corcept.” Corcept Therapeutics Inc. (CORT) has a $1.66 billion market cap (worth), with current annual sales of $216 million.
Liberals and feminists are very worried that Judge Brett Kavanaugh may participate in reversing Roe v. Wade. Christine Blasey wants to stop Kavanaugh from reaching the country’s highest court.
According to an article at Philly.com, “ Alan Schatzberg, a Stanford University psychiatrist and scientist, co-founded Corcept Therapeutics in 1998 to explore whether mifepristone could help treat major depression.” He left the company in 2007, when the company changed direction (but continued to explore uses for mifepristone).
Corcept Therapeutics has only one product: Korlym (mifepristone). The “abortion pill”, otherwise known as RU-486 or “Mifeprex” (brand name), is mifepristone.
Could that be true, that Ford worked for the manufacturer of the RU-486 Morning After pill? Maybe she thought that it would have been helpful the day after some of her purported drunken sexual escapades. /Sarc
Good. Moving in the right direction.
I don't think the further delay would be helpful for anyone. It just means more time for both sides to smear.

Testimony by morse code from home would be secure and renew interest in this musical form of communication in the young.
Sounds good to me.
Go onto Ed Whelan's twitter to see amazing thread where he takes her story as true except that he fingers a classmate of Kavanaugh's whose family home he says matches her description. Complete with map, yearbook and current photos and house drawings and photos. Wow! Hope the guy has a lawyer.
The first Monday in October has been on the calendar for a long time now. There's nothing arbitrary about it. There's no reason provided to date why there shouldn't have all seats filled at SCOTUS on that day.
Apropos of nothing, Ford's lawyer looks just like a guy I used to work with. He wasn't a chick magnet, either.
I see no reason to try and find the real attacker. All it does is shift the baseless accusation elsewhere... Unless the point is to show *anyone* could be accused.
Any GOP official not linking Ellison to this and double standards definitely belongs in the stupid party,
Browndog said...
So now, without Dem consent, earliest hearing could be is next Thursday.
did he calendar Monday? If so, can't he tell the minority,
vote on Monday, unless you agree to calendar a Tuesday mtg with a vote after the testimony?
A blogger from the National Review online is claiming there's a good chance a football-playing lookalike friend of Judge's was the Blasey Ford's attacker
That's Whelan big news he's been teasing?!? He said it will exonerate Kavanaugh and make Feinstein apologize.
National Review is a joke.

"and ensure her safety"
Lets ask to borrow the Pope-mobile for this upcoming spectacle.
Sorry, but it's become clear that this nomination is dead in the water. I suspect that sometime in the next few days the dems are going to bring out Contestant #2 with a completely new charge. I don't know what, exactly. Maybe something like "I bumped into him in the produce aisle and he squeezed my melons." But the two charges will reinforce each other and mark BK as a serial predator for all time.
Drama Queen. She fits the FBI profile of someone who makes shit up for attention.
Sorry, but it's become clear that this nomination is dead in the water.
No problem, Trump will just nominate Amy Barrett. He was probably holding her to replace RBG, but might as well put her up now, and then put up Don Willett for RBG.
Dems are a bit slow on the uptake. Once upon a time, McCain was demonized by the Dems. Then it was Romney. The first time it was shame on Dems. The second time it was shame on conservative voters. That's how Trump became President.
If you don't like Kavanaugh, we got others you won't like either.
Has she released sworn affadavit about what happened, under penalty of perjury?
If not, she's still full of shit.
The Dem goal is to delay and obstruct, thwart a vote before the midterms, and hopefully win the Senate to prevent any further judicial appointees.
I continue to believe that a lengthy delay and a boring law-enforcement enquiry would be preferable to replaying the Anita Hill hearings. The idea that these Senators are going to entrap a sympathetic witness (whether Ford or Kavanaugh) into a big reveal is ludicrous. It's a vanity project for the very vain. We don't need to replay this stupidity.
Let the Senate request an investigation and then everyone can go back to their fundraising dinners until January. The FBI can play spin the bottle and anyone the bottle points at has to recite a laundry list under oath.
Then the FBI can report back in January that the accusers is vague with details and the defendant denies everything.
Because the basic fact is this: The Senators are morons. They couldn't form a star chamber if you gave them gold stars. They are too inept and too compromised to strike at the truth, even accidentally. I'd rather have nothing happen than another hearing.
In a Simpson's episode:
Marge: Do you want your son to become become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or a sleazy male stripper?
Homer: Can't he be both, like the late Earl Warren?
Marge: Earl Warren wasn't a stripper!
Homer: Now who's being naive?
"The Itchy and Scratchy Movie."
The Supreme Court is going to lose a ton of political capital over Kavanaugh. I think the best course of action is to get rid of this guy. Also Senator Whitehouse, during an interview on CNN, threatened to revisit Mr. Kavanaugh's confirmation after the mid term elections. There's so much emotion over this and the Republicans look like enablers and creeps. I don't see how you guys get a victory out of this.
Trump can just leave the position empty and campaign on it in the fall. Tell them he wants to nominate Barrett but the Dems hate her because she is a mom with 7 kids.
Then make them take a position on her. A woman with 7 kids. It will drive the Left nuts.
He needs to pick up 3 seats net so that Collins and Murkowski can vote against the Woman with 7 Kids.
Then Barrett writes the opinion throwing Roe and Casey out.
Wondering if Ford calling for FBI investigation is code for - are there still agents who can give me Hillary treatment?!
This Kavanaugh stuff is Culture War Perfection.
Trump loves this stuff. He’s great at it.
Monday's the day. Take it or leave it.

In the most real-politik terms, the Republicans don't care. They have binders full of Kavanaughs. The Republicans only have one game to play, and it is NOT "how do we get our guy on the court." They are going to get a conservative on the court. The Republican game is "how do we work this against the Democrats in November."
"Let's be loyal to our guy" is the tactic for now.
Next up, the Senate could schedule a hearing with Bill Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick. Ratings bonanza!
The FBI doesn’t investigate teenage parties from the early 80s.
Next up, McConnell moves to expel Bob Menendez for having sex with 15 year old girls who are the victims of sex trafficking.
But McConnell is a pussy. If he can’t get Kavanaugh confirmed, then he should resign.
I'd like the Republicans to confirm Cavanaugh just to have a justice on the SCOTUS that has been mistreated by the Democrats.
"The Supreme Court is going to lose a ton of political capital over Kavanaugh."
Ah, but the Republicans are going to gain a ton of midterm votes. The Donks are already maxed out in that regard. What a foolish stunt.
I think Whelan is trolling: "To be clear, I have no idea what, if anything, did or did not happen in that bedroom at the top of the stairs, and I therefore do not state, imply or insinuate that Garrett or anyone else committed the sexual assault that Ford alleges."
Does your house have a bedroom? At the top of the stairs? YOU COULD BE THE GUY TOO!
"I'd like the Republicans to confirm Cavanaugh just to have a justice on the SCOTUS that has been mistreated by the Democrats."
-- Unsure if serious or just forgetful.
Henry is right. Kavanaugh the judge is fungible. It’s all about increasing GOP turnout in the fall. Kavanaugh getting scuttled helps the GOP chances.
Trump needs to go after Dem Senators. Menendez is a very weak guy. Credible accusations of sexual with 15 year old girls.
Make McCaskill and Heitkamp defend him. And Booker and Harris.
They are going to get a conservative on the court.
Assuming the Blue Tsunami doesn't strike.
Disagree that Kavanaugh is replaceable at this point. He's been de-squished. Conditioned to feel nothing but loathing for the slimy progs who've smeared him. From a conservative point of view, that's priceless.
I just read that Jennifer Lawrence will be starring in the TV movie along with Ben Pitt or Brad Affluck as Brett Kerpernick.
Check your TV listings..............
Those mean old white men might come after her with their walkers.
Henry said: "In the most real-politik terms, the Republicans don't care. They have binders full of Kavanaughs. "
Every one of which will be smeared by the Dems in precisely the same way.
The GOP has binders full of Kavanaughs.
And the Dems have binders full of opposition research dirt.
You don't think the Dems have anything on Amy Barrett?
How much would you like to bet?
There's so much emotion over this and the Republicans look like enablers and creeps. I don't see how you guys get a victory out of this.
Just watch.
You might learn something.
no one can confirm of deny her 11th hour BS. It's "when did you stop beating your wife" territory. when he was 17.

Since the story suggests an attempted steal of second base, I agree.
Attempted copping a feel is not a federal issue for the Federal Bureau of Matters. Of course, if the bedroom was on the state line it could be interstate copping a feel, which is a federal matter.
Meanwhile, encouraged by Democrats to try to enter the US, young illegal aliens are being trafficked as sex slaves.
This 11 hour leftwing liar doens't get to pick anything.
Vote.
>>"The FBI doesn’t investigate teenage parties from the early 80s."
Not 100% true. The FBI is/was doing K's background investigation, and if they had come across this, they would have asked about it.
Not to bring a criminal case, but as part of his FBI background check.
Hillary Clinton threatens our democracy every day she refuses to denounce her husband for his past sexual abuse of women. At least 10 women.
it's a game. and it's starting to look as though she may be losing it. One can only hope.
Then the FBI can report back in January
Wow..what a coincidence.....if by some miracle (and the Democrats believe delaying this confirmation would make such a miracle more likely) the Democrats took control of the Senate, they would take power in January.
I want the FBI to investigate the clintons on the many fronts -- their sexual abuse, abuse of women, and their abuse of power through government channels.

"Clarence Thomas doesn't count?"
Mea culpa: "a" should have been "another".
This has turned into a high stakes poker game. The Republicans, in a way, have staked the consequences of the last election. The Democrats are betting what exactly? This letter from Ford is like "oh yeah? well we bet a gazillion dollars!" and Senate Republicans have, in effect, said "wow, okay, we'll see your bet and call you" and suddenly Democrats are arguing for why they shouldn't have to show their cards. On a more serious note, if this accusation falls apart under examination, what will the consequences be? Who will pay the price for the chaos? for all these crazy arguments people advance to defend this insanity? Ford? Feinstein?
If the Democrats bet the farm and lose who will pay a price?
I really have a hard time understanding why Monday won't work for Ford. Do they still have direct flights SF to DC? She's the one making the accusations she should be willing to testify at anytime. After all it's all bull shit anyway.
Grassley has been standing firm and I encourage anyone here to write and congratulate him and strengthen his backbone for the next few rounds. I have - twice. It's easy on his website.
"The FBI investigated. They found the claim not worth pursuing. Why act like it hasn't been weighed in on by the authorities?"
The media and the democrat party (but I repeat myself) are not mentioning that fact.
"This has turned into a high stakes poker game."
Yes. The Dems are bluffing and everyone knows it, but they know the refs are on their side.
I prefer the basketball analogy. The Dems have launched a desperation last second fast break. They are taking their best shot and will commit any foul, however egregious, to get the last shot.
Their lies are starting to multiply. They have to slow this down in order to better coordinate.
So the two emails sent to Mrs. K are being ‘investigated’ by the US Marshalls office?
Apologies if this link to the scrubbed school material has been posted before - it's been hard to keep up with all the posts and comments:
https://cultofthe1st.blogspot.com/2018/09/why-christine-blasey-fords-high-school_19.html?showComment=1537409523569&m=1#c2260053581059665674
I see nothing in those magazines that isn't repeated time and again at many high schools of many different social strata. It's just kids exploring themselves and their limits, and with the usual self-belief in their invincibility and sophistication.
Right, wrong, true, false, it doesnt matter.
This is just material to feed the media artillery.
What matters isn't what it is, but how hard it is flung.
The Left has much more powerful artillery than the right.
If Collins is caving it’s all over.
Meanwhile, someone dug up the accuser's high school yearbooks before they vanished down the memory hole. Holton-Arms was a hellhole of racist, sexist, drunken behavior.
Christine Blasey Ford learned her sluttish ways early.
"I think Whelan is trolling."
I suspect the same, although that has never been his M.O.
He may be trying to scare away Ford by suggesting that there is irrefutable proof that she is either a liar or suffering from false memory syndrome. I suspect that she has avoided making any legal binding statements because she could be charged if shown to be brazenly false.
This is all a game folks. Will the Democrats show that they have far more moxie than the Republicans? Before Trump, they won most of the time.
>>"The FBI doesn’t investigate teenage parties from the early 80s."
Not 100% true. The FBI is/was doing K's background investigation, and if they had come across this, they would have asked about it.
Not to bring a criminal case, but as part of his FBI background check.
No. My understanding is the FBI learning something from the background check, that is criminal, refers that crime to local authorities, inserts the information into the file and the White House deals with the information in front of them, decides if the information is disqualifying. The FBI also starts the background check on subject starting at age 18. So activity that happens before that age, would not appear on the FBI's radar. Its almost like juvenile peccadilloes are not a measure of a persons character
That yearbook should have been edited by virtuous adults, or better yet the girls should have been taught that such things should not be, much less that it was acceptable to boast about them.
The left can't hate the right any more than they do. As fired up with anti-trump hatred as they are, if they are not already enthused to go out and vote then nothing will get them to vote. It's stupid on steroids for the GOP to give an inch in the hopes of gaining any favor or approval from Dems or their enraged base.
Of course, it's the squishy middle that the GOP is worried about-- the Althouses. But how many squishes are there, really? This country is so polarized it's hard to believe there are really very many people who haven't yet picked a side.
But if they allow the Dems to drag the country into yet another bogus investigation they piss off their own base and the moderates who are sick of these stupid games, which they can't afford to do. Unless they actually want to lose this fall. With the GOP it sometimes seems like they prefer to be losers.
Set a date for the woman to appear, and if she doesn't show, then move on to the vote. The leftist media will bitch, but who gives a shit? They've been bitching non-stop since election day and will continue to bitch all through Trump's second term. At this point, what difference does their bitching make? So the Dems turn Kavanaugh into another Clarence Thomas; good luck to them on future court decisions with that move.
"ensure her safety"
Why do they throw that in, do you suppose? Of course the Senate will ensure her safety.

@Dickin’Bimbos, of course not! Kavanaugh went to Georgetown Prep, an exclusive prep school where the tuition for resident students is $60,000, dropping to a tick above $37,000 for students who live st home. Christine Blakey Ford attended Holton-Armd, were tuition is $43,000, “with additional fees for students in grades 7 - 12 .”
Neither came from what we would think of as middle class.
I worry she is going to end up like Vince Foster. And when your at a party with a bunch of drunks remember to always use the name of your doppelganger.
She's a player--and she's a prevaricator.
Ed Whelan doing a pretty good job showing the benefit of an FBI investigation. They can do more than use google (assuming the cancer diagnosed by POTUS hasn't become incapacitating already).
Nice use of "in character," Doc.

"Neither came from what we would think of as middle class."

Why in the world should she get to say she wants Kavanaugh to testify first?
What is this? Testify or don't.

It's nice to see people from both sides propagate and fall for fake information.
NBC hired spook commie Brennen. Isn't it a tad alarming that former hack spooks are now in charge of our media?
She wants to appear last after Kavanaugb. Nonstarter. Tell her it's Tuesday and they'll send a plane with US Marshals. They'll provide security (and carry a subpoena in case)
"Isn't it a tad alarming that former hack spooks are now in charge of our media?"
Totally.
If their jobs are taken, what are dopey, sickeningly self-impressed folks gonna do for work?
If the Democrats bet the farm and lose who will pay a price?
With virtual control of mass media the answer is no one will pay. Gilibrand has made some bad errors on this topic, yet she's trotted out as if she's the go-to woman expert. The good lady Senator from Hawaii has, in essence, that men have no place at the table for certain topics, bet she's absolutely safe in her seat. DiFi? I read she has some election concerns, but in Cali this dust up is likely considered a plus.
Nope, with the enablers of the networks and paper of record the price is $0.00.
Zucker et. al. could work at Hot Dog on a Stick.
SHE'S RUNNING THE SENATE NOW. Thats a relief. I thought she was one of the Plastercasters who did Jim Morrison.
It is also upsetting that the national media now are upgrading "the incident" (if any) from drunk teenagers acting like drunk teenagers to an actual violent rape attempt.

Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld must be grateful to Ed Whelan today. If you say, who?, my response is, see!
I'd say Monday or never. Stop delaying.
"Ford team wants NO questions from lawyers, only Qs from Committee members"
I mistakenly assumed that this committee only had lawyers. Hence I made a wrong comment, that I deleted.
My bad.
Kavanaugh’s wife and daughter should be in the room when she testilies.
Ford’s husband should testify as well. Kavanaugh’s wife and daughters in the room.
Kind of a case of the inmate taking over the asylum, no?
I find it ironic that members of the infinitely large beltway Clinton-o-phile are the ones advising this obviously lying accuser of Kavanaugh.
Because of course they are.
This charade sickens the men who normally supprt women’s right to equality and value them .The Dems are done for as a viable party.
"Kind of a case of the inmate taking over the asylum, no?"
First they wanted shoes. Then they wanted to not be pregnant, as well as not barefoot. Now they want to be not be a wee speed bump that's barely noticeable when run over.
Slippery slope.
Let's keep track of who is carrying a torch in the lynch mob, just to remind them later.
I hope Whelan isn't as stupid as that tweet thread looks. Based on my limited knowledge of him, I didn't think he was. If I were to give a best-case-scenario guess, I'd say Whelan has already talked to the guy, and they're working on how to tell his story, which would be legally tricky and might take some time to roll out carefully. Maybe?
Ed Whelan doing a pretty good job showing the benefit of an FBI investigation
An FBI investigation begins with questioning the accuser. But if they did, she would scream that she is being persecuted and that she's not the one on trial here.
The accuser does not want to talk to them. She only wants the FBI to interrogate the accused. How they can do that without knowing what is alleged is, of course, not possible. Maybe it also has something to do with telling false statements to the FBI being a felony.
Garrett sux!
An FBI investigation begins with questioning the accuser. But if they did, she would scream that she is being persecuted and that she's not the one on trial here.
At a certain point a person has own their own cul-de-sac.

Shorter leftist: why wont Ellisons accuset, who filed an actual police report, just shut the hell up already?
Looking at google now, it seems that this Whelan guy wants to establish that the burden of proof/persuasion is on Kavanaugh.
If the Kavanaugh thing did happen, I have a thought experiment for cons.
Does the attempted rape and the successful sexual attack of a girl performed by an almost adult beat a boss who does creepy sexual stuff to his gal subordinates?
We know that there has never been a more dependable con than the dude who, re sex stuff, abused his worker gal, therefore I'd think that a dude who sexually attacked a gal would be even more extreme. Presumably Thomas will be surpassed re being pro-con re being a Justice.
2nd thought experiment: what if the victim had been a dude? Is there better con-Justice-boner-fides when a dude abuses gals v him abusing dudes?
Does the attempted rape and the successful sexual attack of a girl performed by an almost "adult beat a boss who does creepy sexual stuff to his gal subordinates?"
Are you talking about Bill Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick? Because there's no "attempted" in that accusation but a lot of people seemed fine returning him to the White House in 2016?

Incredibly, both the chair and ranking member did not go to law school or become lawyers.
"showing the benefit of an FBI investigation."
You mean like the one that already took place?
Just vote, already.
I was struck by how serene and hands off Trump has been through this whole thing. No hyperbolic tweets. He's been humoring Ford and going after Di-Fi hammer and tong. He's clearly enjoying this and sees opportunity in this should the dems "succeed", its just not clear to me at the moment. Does he expect it to collapse in a heap suddenly?

Grassley should stop farting around. Subpoena Ford and in the subpoena include everything she gave to Feinstein and the WaPo and have the hearing televised. No deals. If she doesn't show up, hold the vote on the same day and prosecute Ford.
First they wanted shoes.
We made the same mistake Lucius did with Doby.
Just another example of why a white man should never vote for a Democrat again. Ever.
Has there been recess appointment to SC?
Yes. the first nomination ever rejected by the Senate was John Rutledge. he was originally confirmed as one of the original Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, but resigned after a couple of years. He was then picked to replace John Jay as the second Chief Justice. He was initially a recess appointment, and was rejected by the following Senate.
Is it in play now?
No. Not only is Congress in session practically full time, when the members do go home, the party in charge uses legislative tricks to keep Congress technically in session.

You can not believe a damn thing that any feminist college professor has to say about anything.
They are congenital liars and all around pieces of crap. That's how they got tenure. Through affirmative action. Or blowing somebody. There is not one that could not be replaced by a smarter, more talented white man.
Why the delay? Pack an overnight bag, go to "elcheapo air tickets" and reserve a flight, and voila, you could be in Washington by Saturday.
This so called professor is the perfect embodiment of the failure of feminism and the diversity racket.
Of course this lying broad will not testify under oath. She thought she could do it anonymously and sink the nomination without her name ever coming out.
After all that is the Democrats and the Medias go to strategy to delegitimize the President and how they expect to win their slow motion coup.
The President is playing perfectly. He is giving them enough rope to hang themselves.
I just wish he would actually hang them for real.

Can McConnell put Senate in recess on his whim , does he need to be a vote.
Why is he called cocaine?
"The Republicans" can't just decide to do X. They have a very slim majority in the Senate and the Committee. One or two defections, and the Dems win. Grassley's been around a long time -- this isn't his first rodeo -- so I have hope that he knows how far he can push it.
But for God's sake, if you have a Republican Senator or a vulnerable Democratic Senator up in your State, stop commenting on Althouse and go out and volunteer for the Republican.
And if you need a little extra incentive, don't forget that Brett Kavanaugh is a decent person, and the Democrats are trying to destroy him -- not defeat his nomination -- destroy him.
Did Ford say that the assault happened over the summer after her sophomore year? I thought I remember seeing that.
The reason I ask is that the woman who posted her support on Facebook mentioned that it was discussed at the school afterward. So, does she mean in September?
anti-de Sitter space: "If the Kavanaugh thing did happen,.."
It didnt. She is lying, as is the entirety of the left.

Right! Let's get well past a trillion dollar deficits in order to help the job creators. Let's borrow two trillion a year. That'll show those libs!
Without corroborating evidence, there are several possible scenarios. One, Ford assaulted Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh assaulted Ford. Ford assaulted a third party. A third party assaulted Ford. The assault occurred at the party. The assault occurred at another party. The assault occurred on a Facebook page. The assault occurred in a Twitter storm. There was no assault. Ford's recovered memory was of events from a past life. Ford aborted her daughter and is seeking a rape exemption for violating the human rights of her daughter, and crimes committed against society in a less progressive liberal nation.
That said, with the spate of assaults over the last eight trimesters, on Republican politicians, government workers, and private individuals, it's probably a good idea to ensure that Ford and the Democratic entourage are restrained for the safety of Kavanaugh and others in the room.

Its medical success stories such as this tjat gives us all great hope for our future.
Drago,
It wasn't medicine that saved me, it was cons. Me and Schiavo.
Rollover deficits. They need to curb redistributive change, repeal Obamacare (i.e. regulatory single-payer) and restore market function, and otherwise address progressive costs.
That's more than magic eightball, of possibilities.
SSo lady says she knew Whelan and Garrett, but he's not the perpetrator.
Right! Let's get well past a trillion dollar deficits in order to help the job creators. Let's borrow two trillion a year. That'll show those libs!
No, Obama isn't president anymore. You're just a bit out of date,.

Althouse blog comments. Where to go for wishful thinking.
I don't mind your comments, readering., I just ignore them.
I thunk we will see who is right in a month or six weeks.
I try not to believe that half the country is crazy but we will see.
"It wasn't medicine that saved me, it was cons. Me and Schiavo."
We will all pretend you weren't really trying that hard with that response.
But lets face it, I cant cover for you forever.

Anywho, I'm picky re SCOTUS too. I'm anti-anti-gal.
Dick or no dick?
I read the NYT pamphlet--some ladies have dicks.
"Anywho, I'm picky re SCOTUS too. I'm anti-anti-gal."
Soooo, you believe Ellis' girlfriend deserved the beatings he gave her?
What am I wishing for? A fair process. I've already said I think if Kavanaugh goes down the next pick will be just as I right-wing (if not more so).
So details he had to make common cause with the communists in order to defeat Vichy, somewhat batista did in the 30s even putting two ministers in the cabinet
This led to ill considered constitution of 1940, which had every progs dream.
You folks miss Inga.
Anywho, in order:
Doc, check the deficit, it's almost a tril, in the DJT--and full R--era.
Drag, I liked your response that I responded to, it was impressive. The filler that you put up re my response to your response could be inserted as any response anywhere, anytime. Presumably you'll acknowledge trite ain't cool.
Darrel: you win. I got nuttin' to come back w/. P.S. I'm serious, nice comment. IMHO.
Drag, Ellis is a POS. Maybe Inga defends that shit-fuck hack (not me), hence I can see why you'd miss her.
Is narcisco or n.n. the one that tends to always relate everything to abortion?
Or both?
I forget.

I hope Whelan isn't as stupid as that tweet thread looks. Based on my limited knowledge of him, I didn't think he was. If I were to give a best-case-scenario guess, I'd say Whelan has already talked to the guy, and they're working on how to tell his story, which would be legally tricky and might take some time to roll out carefully. Maybe?
The only way this works is if it's the truth. This guy says that in fact it is the house, and in fact there was a make out session, he was aggressive but never crossed a line. He finally took no for an answer, and left the her alone in the room. It was him and Judge. Kavanaugh not present.
But it has to be the truth.

How do you picture that?
Ford has put out a statement burying Whelan theory. I assume retraction and mea culpa follow. Not a good look for Kavanaugh that they are long time friends.

Coma effects do linger
How do I picture that? Unlike many here I don't fantasize on this. (Not that my Jets fantasies work out well.)
Garrett Sux!
"There's a place you've got to go for learning
all you want to know about the facts of life
the facts of life.
When books are what you're there about
and looks are what you care about
the time is right,
to learn the facts of life.
When the world never seems
to be living up to your dreams
it's time you started finding out
what everything is all about
When the boys you used to hate you date,
I guess you best investigate
the facts of life you gotta get'em right
the facts of life,
the facts of life,
the facts of life
You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The facts of life, the facts of life.
There's a time you got to go and show
You're growin' now you know about
The facts of life, the facts of life.
When the world never seems
to be livin up to your dreams
And suddenly you're finding out
the facts of life are all about you, you.
It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning the facts of life. (learning the facts of life)
Learning the facts of life (learning the facts of life)
Learning the facts of life.
You'll avoid a lot of damages
an enjoy the fun of managing
the facts of life;
they shed a lot of light
If you hear them from your brother,
better clear them with your mother
better get them right,
call her late at night
You got the future in the palm of your hands
all you gotta do to get you through is understand
you think you rather do without,
you will never make without the truth
the facts of life is all about you"
Mrs. Garrett Sux.
I used to have Drago following my every comment. Looks like Michael K has tagged. (Not that I miss Drago.)
"Blogger The Cracker Emcee Rampant said...
Disagree that Kavanaugh is replaceable at this point. He's been de-squished. Conditioned to feel nothing but loathing for the slimy progs who've smeared him. From a conservative point of view, that's priceless."
A point not without merit. He'd be an especially reliable vote now.
Drago's hooked on Inga.
As far as habits go, not bad.
IMHO.
"He'd be an especially reliable vote now."
As I noted up-thread, an attempted rapist/ successful sexual assulter always beats a boss who sexually harasses his staff cause he wants to put his dick in them (w/ their pressured consent).
Cons got a winner here, don't let it go.
If you're so certain 'Sitter..why do you suppose Feinstein sat on this..didn't bring it up in her one on one with K?
Btw, nice deflection readering. "Uh..uh...sports"
Leftist lie and that makes Kavanaugh guilty.
anti-de Sitter space is happier than if the accusations were real. Transgressive euphoria.
Walt,
I'm not certain.
Hence my comment re a "thought experiment. And BTW, that's a POS move re me. Leaving that sorta wiggle room is squishy. IMHO.
This gal could be full of shit. Sure, I've extrapolated in some other comments where I'm thinking about implications re Kavanaugh, if this high school thing happened.
I do believe that someone capable of that evil and hiding it and doing all the GOPE stuff he's been part of would be an excellent GOPE SCOTUS Justice.
Even w/o the near rape and successful sexual assault, he's perfect for the GOPE.
Win-win. For y'all.
I guess.
I know I'll win. More.
Speaking of squishy..you skipped over the questions re Feinstein.
Walt,
She's a geez....er…,I mean she's a golden years gal who should be in the Senate for at least a buck twenty five, in centuries.
WTF do I care? WTF to you care? CA is gonna send some D to DC. I only live there a few months a year, and even if I was there more, I don't think I'd believe one D would be that much different than another. As things are now.
IMHO.
Over their years of friendship -- as roommates, bridesmaids and parents on opposite coasts -- Dr. Blasey wanted to know, had she ever confided that she had been sexually assaulted in high school?
No, Ms. Piwowarski said she texted back, she would have remembered that, and was everything O.K.? Dr. Blasey didn't want to speak in detail quite yet, her friend recalled her responding. "I don't know why she was asking that or what it ultimately meant or didn’t mean," Ms. Piwowarski said in an interview, but she remembers thinking that the question betrayed deep turmoil.--the New York Times
Christine Blasey Ford really did mean it when she commented on Facebook that they have to do whatever is necessary to stop another Conservative on the Court. I hope they frisk her twice at the door if she ever shows up to testify.
