Never did I ever think I would see the GOP actually engage the enemy and stay in a fight like we are witnessing. Grateful for the wisdom and leadership shown by Senator Grassley. Hats off to Senator Graham for pushing back against the swamp. Thank God for President Trump for putting it in motion. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jGGzS9mNBk | |||

Now in Florida |
Link Heitkamp voting NO on Kavanaugh. She's either convinced that the GOP can't muster 50 votes (which seems unlikely) or she knows she is toast on election day and wants to maintain her viability for positions in a future Dem administration or MSNBC. That's one pickup this fall. | |||

It looks real bad for her in her re-election bid, so now she is free to vote her "conscience", even though we all know she doesn't have one. __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

Joe DiGenova on Hannity last night: "I know that you don't share this and a lot of people at Fox don't but I actually believe that Dr. Ford fabricated her testimony. I think she's delusional. " "But the American people have to understand, and this is a new Democratic Party. This is not your mother's Democratic Party or your grandmother's, this is a party of anarchists and communists. The Democratic Party has become the party of the far left and they will do anything to get power back. " well said xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Let's get it all. - Put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court - Gain in the Senate - Hold onto the House - Prosecute the crap out of the lying scumbags who have framed Brett Kavanaugh | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
I'd bet that many don't believe her and think she's lying but the backlash they'd get over having the "gall" to say that about a rape victim keeps them from saying so. the "I think something may have happened to her" is the polite way of saying shes full of shit. Kinda like when someone tells you "bless your heart" in the south... | |||

I sent a small donation to her Republican opponent right after the Flake stab in the back last Friday. I hope others do so as well. I also sent one to the Montana Republican candidate Rosendale. We need at least three Senate pick ups, these are the seats in play to my understanding West V, N. Dakota, Montana and Missouri. Make them pay for BK! HK Ag | |||

When the Ford story first broke they talked briefly that she had a repressed memory of this "event" that came out in counseling (2012?). I kept wondering what happened to this piece of info as it just seemed to go away. Tucker brought it up again last night and said that experts equate the reliability of repressed memories to being the rough equivalent of dreams. In other words, very spotty, questionable and often only partially real or coherent. Her testimony last week certainly fits this description. | |||

It has been my strong suspicion from day 1 that Ford’s story was fiction. All I have seen reinforces that suspicion. The God Damned Commies have once more revealed themselves to be malevolent, completely devoid of honor, and fanatically devoted to destroying the way of life which has produced the most prosperous, most secure, albeit not yet perfect, culture in history. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Heitkamp is voting no. There is one seat turning red  Not only is President Trump getting his nominee confirmed, but he is going to pick up 3 or 4 seats. | |||

Delusional implies that she believes it herself, though it is false. That's entirely possible. She may have done too many mind-altering drugs. She looks more like a 70 year-old, than a 52 year-old...  "Some things are apparent.

So what stops Trump from re-nominating Kavanaugh if we fall short by one or two votes and the new GOP majority votes him in come January? | |||

Press conference with the Republicans from the Judiciary Committee. Grassley sounds like he has just about had enough of the dims crap. MSM asking the same stupid questions. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

I think the Grassley moment you are talking about starts at around 45 minutes. | |||

Grassley did a damn good job calling out the media for pushing their narrative - He recalled how he had protestors both for, and against, Kavanaugh in his office. But he pointed out that the media were only interested in interviewing the anti-Kavanaugh crowd. He slapped them down. He reminds me of the guy that doesn't get upset easily, but when does, watch out, he didn't hold back. | |||

It’s hard to say for sure, but ordinarily due to press of time, the Senate avoids taking up a bill in the same Congress after it has been defeated. There is a procedure where the Majority leader can change his vote and preserve the right to call for further consideration. I don’t think there is any express prohibition of renominating someone in a later Congress. Actually, Kavanaugh was nominated to the DC circuit court in 2003 but did not get the vote until 2006. From wikipedia,
No info on what the exact objection was, but he has never had it easy, I guess. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Ford threw friends under the bus. It's strange, Kavanaugh had hundreds of friends, co-workers and colleagues come out to attest to his integrity, but the only people supporting Ford were strangers; activists, politicians, and lawyers. I'm convinced Feinstein and others basically conned Ford into being a hired victim, convincing her that they will beat Trump and Kavanaugh. Ford is just another castoff in a long line of collateral damage for the Commie Cause.

With Heitkamp saying she will vote No on Kavanaugh, it sounds like Schumer is doing his "cost/benefit" calculations. Given she is 12 % down w a month before the election, this is almost a declaration of defeat. The cost is they lose the seat w high probability. The benefit is there isn't a credibility loss that a DEM senator went against everything the Sen Judiciary Comm DEMs have been throwing at the wall for weeks. Schumer may feel he can let one DEM support Kavanaugh (Manchin ?). Let's see what Manchin does. related article: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/0...no-on-kavanaugh.html Red-state Democratic Sen.
