Kavanaugh Confirmation

I agree me and my mother have been talking about this for two weeks. I know the Capital is supposed to be open to the people but its getting to be scary. I think they need to make certain areas off limits especially during times like this when votes of this magnitude are pending.

They don't allow people into the WH to yell in the Presidents face. I think the same should be done in the Capital during high profile hearings/votes.

I’ve toured all those buildings and if I were there now, I’d have to choke slam a few of them.
 
Today was a good day. Tomorrow's going to be even better. The dangerous precedent the dems were trying to set has been defeated.

I agree. Maybe those women have finally learned to keep their yappers shut and go back to minding the kids and getting dinner on the table by 5:00.
 
So we are 51 for, 48 against and 1 undecided (Murkowski). Daines may not be there so it might be 50 - 49 or 51 - 48 (assuming Daines is a no show).

Murkowski is in the twilight zone,
- good man
- don't think he's right for the court
- still undecided

then

Collins - "yes"
Manchin - "yes"
Flake - "yes" ("possibly, apparently, maybe, most likely, unless something big changes")

I think it makes it easier for her to be "no" since she won't change the result, but I don't think she walks away from this clean.
 
Two thoughts... Susan Collins speaks like she is trying to do a really bad Katherine Hepburn impression... and this shouldn't have taken a whole freakin' hour. I have never seen a politician want to have it both ways so desperately.
Well I guess you gotta find some kind of fault with her.
 
completely unverified but saw somewhere an allegation that the McClean (I think - the person allegedly helped by Ford to pass the polygraph) tried to persuade the Leyland woman (Ford's friend and named witness) to change her testimony. Supposedly in the 302 obtained by the FBI from Leyland.

witness tampering?

EDIT - found this article.

Friend of Christine Blasey Ford reportedly felt pressure to revisit statement on allegations

Keyser told the investigators that she was -- as the Journal notes -- urged to clarify her statement by Monica McLean, a former FBI agent and friend of Ford’s, the paper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
McLean’s lawyer denied his client tried to influence Keyser to change her account, calling it “absolutely false.”
“Any notion or claim that Ms. McLean pressured Leland Keyser to alter Ms. Keyser’s account of what she recalled concerning the alleged incident between Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh is absolutely false,” attorney David Laufman said in a statement to Fox News.
A person close to the former classmates told the Journal she believed mutual friends of both Ford and Keyser – including McLean – simply reached out to Keyser to warn her that her statement was being used by Republicans as vindication for Kavanagh and if she felt she needed to clarify what she meant, she should. The person said the mutual friends did not “pressure” Keyser.

Not shady at all...

Not a criminal investigation. So doubt it.

I think any crimes to be found would be in the money trail.

I've been thinking the same thing.
