In November 2017, President Donald Trump released a revised list of potential Supreme Court nominees. The November 2017 list was an expanded version of two earlier lists, announced during the 2016 presidential campaign, from which then-candidate Trump pledged, if elected, to pick a successor to the
far left activist who spent the weekend scrubbing het social media accounts lmao
Her life will be hell for a while. FWIW, Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's buddy and the other guy who's accused in her story, ALSO wiped his social media accounts over the weekend. So this is no admission of guilt.
The Kavanaugh Borking is appalling. Fucking appalling.
Feinstein did the accuser no favors and handled it for maximum political effect. Jury's out on the woman till she testifies. We'll get to see how credible she is, possibly this week.

Feinstein is a fucking disgrace. The jury may still be out for you, but what do you expect to change? This is over 30 years old. She told no one about it until 2012. She is the first woman to even hint at this (typically, you'd have a long line -- guys like that don't usually just stop at one -- Roy Moore). SHE didn't come forward until four days before the committee vote. Oh,and she's an ardent fucking progressive.
Kavanaugh, btw, has been GREAT in hiring female clerks and helping them advance in their career -- and they write about him with great admiration and affection.
Fucking appalling. The Rs HAVE to stand up to this bullshit.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

I think there's an argument to be made that even if her story was 100% true, it was 35 years ago, they were teenagers and it's not a disqualifying event. I think this woman's lawyer even said on tv this morning that they weren't taking the stance that this 'incident' is disqualifying. I'm not taking a stance either way. But she should testify before totally discounting her.
The Roy Moore accusers were certainly more credible because there were many of them and had similar stories. But even they never spoke up until 40 years had gone by.
And to clarify for myself, the Dems are playing very dirty here, but primarily Feinstein who seems to have hid this even from other members of the Committee. The jury's not out for me on THAT. Just if this woman's credible.
Yeah, but this is entirely he said/she said without a lick of corroborating evidence. Anywhere. So she can tell her story. Her credibility won't change an iota by testifying. What are they going to use to impeach her credibility? Kavanaugh's ardent denial? The massive time lapse? Her politics? We already know all that.
And, to be clear, it's very much about being disqualifying. That's the whole point of this ruse. If it's not disqualifying then there is zero point to her testifying or the judiciary committee delaying the vote.

Procedural question: can Mitch McConnell overrule the Committee and force a confirmation vote with or without a Committee majority?
