Kavanaugh's nomination needs to be withdrawn today

...either willingly, or by consensus of the republicans who brought him.

John Nichols @NicholsUprising 10h10 hours ago

1. Ford provides account of sexual assault by #Kavanaugh.

2. Polygraph corroborates her account.

3. Kavanaugh’s alibi guy authored “Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk.”

4. Kavanaugh denies everything.

5. Kavanaugh has a history of lying to protect himself.

She was swimming at country club before the party. Upper middle class? Repugs hate when women like that come forward.

They're making noise about her being heard before a vote is held... but that "heard" could just be a phone call with senators this week before the committee votes on Thursday.

...how willing do you think Kavanaugh is having his personal life televised in front of millions?

It's not going to be pretty. Also, opening up the committee for more questions will lead to deeper inquiries on other allegations. This may come down to how much Kavanaugh is hiding and how willing he is to risk it all spilling out on the national stage.

At any rate, the delays allow even more organization against him.

because he will just come up with another creep. Delay as long as possible so we don't get a total autocracy before the November election.

She's willing to testify. And there will be more women coming forward. I see a teeny tiny ray of sunshine. Even Kellyanne said on Fox that Christine needs to be heard. #IBelieveChristine
