Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation Is NOT A Slam Dunk!

- Will he or won't he be confirmed? TAKE OUR POLL!

The Republican-led Congress was all too eager to quickly push through the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh last Friday — and then Sen. Jeff Flake happened!

Top News Today
Before Dr. Christine Blasey Ford had even uttered a single syllable of testimony, the good ol’ boys (read: conservative white men) of the US Senate had already made up their minds.  They walked into the room already believing that Dr. Ford was lying, that her claims were a political ploy by the liberal Democrats to obstruct, and that staging a hearing for the sake of theatrics then pushing through a Yea vote and catching the 8pm flight out of Reagan National back to their perspective districts for a relaxing weekend was all but a mere formality.

Hold on there, cowboys.  Not so fast!

Brett Kavanaugh 2

The words from Dr. Ford were credible.  The accounts from multiple other women who have since come forward with damning evidence against Judge Brett Kavanaugh were enough to plant the seeds of doubt.  The Daytime Emmy-like performance from Kavanaugh (complete with a series of non-answers, angry retorts and choked-back tears) was entertaining.  However, in the end, right prevailed.  It somehow always does.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Committee Chairman Sen. Charles Grassley began Friday morning with a smirk that they had the necessary votes to push their golden boy, Brett Kavanaugh, through.  Even if they lost 1 “on the fence” Republican, VP Mike Pence would be at the ready to come in, break the tie and save the day.

Then Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher happened!

The 2 women, who are today being referred to as heroins, are lauded for cornering Sen. Jeff Flake on a Senate elevator and reading him the riot act over his expected decision to vote Yes on the accused Kavanaugh.

“What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit on the Supreme Court. This is not tolerable. You have children in your family. Think about them. I have two children,” Ana Maria Archila yelled at Flake. “I cannot imagine that for the next 50 years they will have to have someone on the Supreme Court who has been accused of violating a young girl. What are you doing, sir?”

.

.

“I was sexually assaulted and nobody believed me,” Maria Gallagher wailed through tears against Flake. “I didn’t tell anyone and you’re telling all women that they don’t matter, that they should just stay quiet because if they tell you what happened to them you are going to ignore them. That’s what happened to me, and that’s what you are telling all women in America, that they don’t matter. They should just keep it to themselves because if they have told the truth you’re just going to help that man to power anyway.”

What happened next was a miracle.

A visibly shaken Sen. Flake borrowed a “Maverick” move in the spirit of the late Sen. John McCain, stood up to the entire wall of white and mostly male Republican lawmakers, and insisted that the FBI do their due diligence before handing a lifetime appointment to an accused sexual predator.

Brett Kavanaugh 2

The lessons of Justice Clarence Thomas would not be repeated.  A woman would not be told (yet again) to just shut up and go away.  Another white male would not be allowed to get away with heinous acts then handed the powers of the kingdom.

Ana Maria Archila prevailed.

Maria Gallagher prevailed.

Sen. Jeff Flake prevailed.

For at least the time being, JUSTICE prevailed!

“For at least the time being, JUSTICE prevailed!” -DJ

IF, in fact, an investigation is actually underway (and not just a pretense of one) then I wholeheartedly share that sentiment. There are troubling signs that “the fix” may be in. But we shall see.

The whole issue has been grossly mishandled by the leaders of both parties for cynically partisan reasons because Neither side is actually interested in Truth and Facts. For them. it’s just about Power.

Trump and the Repubs remain hell bent on getting Kavanaugh confirmed. Absent any absolutely concrete evidence backing up Dr. Ford’s allegations, I think it highly probable he’ll get just enough votes to be confirmed.

Mr.BD

Hey Truth I just heard this afternoon the FBI already talked to two other women and got their testimony. So it looks like the investigation is real. The FBI is not in Trump’s pocket so they are doing their work independent of politics. Something tells me that report is going to come back with bad news for Kavanaugh.

Washington Post:
The FBI has begun contacting people as part of an additional background investigation of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, including a second woman who alleges that the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted her.

The bureau has contacted Deborah Ramirez, a Yale University classmate of Kavanaugh’s who alleges that he shoved his genitals in her face at a party where she had been drinking and become disoriented, her attorney said Saturday.

“She has agreed to cooperate with their investigation,” Ramirez attorney John Clune said in a statement. “Out of respect for the integrity of the process, we will have no further comment at this time.”

Brett Kavanaugh thought he could do what he want, drink and attack females, and his white privilege would save him. How’s that working out today?

Trumps language has changed

Trump: “I don’t want to talk about plan B” for Kavanaugh
President Trump, asked about a possible “plan B” if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s conformation falls through, said he doesn’t want to talk about that possibility.

“I don’t want to talk about plan B,” Trump said. “I hope he gets approved.”

Trump said he has an “open mind” when it comes to the ongoing FBI investigation.

“Certainly if they find something, I’m going to take that into consideration,” Trump said.

Then, trump continued to defend Kavanaugh: “I think he’s an outstanding person and has been treated horribly.”

It’s now Tues. Oct. 2, 2018…..

A few things have come to light since yesterday. For example: I heard it reported last night on MSNBC and CNN that several of Kavanaugh’s former Yale classmates were having quite a bit of difficulty trying reach the FBI to provide first-hand information about Kavanaugh. In frustration, those former classmates turned to the news media to make public their efforts. Related to that is the following:

“Text messages suggest Kavanaugh wanted to refute accuser’s claim BEFORE it became public” – NBC

In other words, Kavanaugh’s claim UNDER OATH that he’d first learned of the allegations by Ramirez AFTER the news broke in the New Yorker was in fact a LIE. He’d been working behind the scenes to discredit Ramirez BEFORE she went public. They guy is a piece of work.

And on a related note, there’s also this update…..

“Kavanaugh withdraws from teaching at Harvard Law this winter, as graduates gather signatures objecting to his role”

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh will not teach at Harvard Law School in the winter, as he was expected to do, the university announced Monday night in an email to law students.

“Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated that he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered,” Catherine Claypoole of the law school curriculum committee wrote in an email to students Monday night.

Hundreds of Harvard Law School graduates had signed a letter calling on the school to rescind Kavanaugh’s appointment as lecturer at the school, following sexual misconduct allegations against the U.S. Supreme Court nominee. [….] – MSN

Mr.BD

Hey Truth I think the guy is in trouble. That’s why they tried to force him through fast because the longer they wait the more bad stuff comes out. I also heard last night that Trump doesn’t drink so he has a thing against drinkers. With all this drunk mess coming out in Kavanaugh they are saying Trump is starting to turn on him.

BD, my good friend, I think you may be right!
