Kavanaugh may just be a bit rapy. Why force it through when people aren't sure? I say give it the week. If they find something or someone talks and not in a good way for Kavanaugh, I could see this going longer.

Is that what you "seem to remember"? My premiums have gone into orbit. Do you "seem to remember" Pelosi's comments Re passing it so they could read and understand it? You should consider not bringing that terrible piece of legislation up in the middle of this mess.

One week? No problem (easy for me to say, as I don't have to put up with the nonsense that most likely will now come out of the woodwork).

A 15 year just assaulted by the son of the local prosecutor might not want to say anything.

I like seeing the mountains clearly across from the cityscape without the clouds of filth blocking the view like it was from 30 years ago. Yeah, Some regulations are good. Call me old fashioned.

I generally think Supreme Court nomination votes should be unanimous and swift. I don’t agree with all of his views and decisions but before he got swept up in this I had no reason to believe he wouldn’t be fair and try to be apolitical. I’m definitely less certain of that now given some of the really ugly sound bites he produced ie ‘Clinton revenge’, and ‘have you?’. However these are obviously some extraordinary circumstances.

Caf did you know he cut his teeth with Ken Starr and recommended that go after Clinton with more ‘sex’ questions?

And to think that Scalia was approved 98-0...

You need to call Blasey and tell her she forgot to mention this in her testimony on Thursday.

Yes I did. That does little but provide some irony

Apparently, some Democrats are saying Kavanaugh, if confirmed, must recuse himself from any cases before the SCOTUS involving Democrats. Given Ginsberg’s comments against Trump, can we expect the same from her in cases involving the Trump administration? I’m going to guess no.

We have never had a justice so deeply political though. Kavanaugh is a first there. He honestly believed that Vince Foster was murdered by the Clintons. This believes the Clinton conspiracy.

That is crazy. I looked at Hilary's calendar and there was no mention of murder on that day.
