2. K&R

3. Watch McConnell and Grassley ignore this and confirm him anyway.

6. I fear that's where we're heading

9. I dont know if video of gang raping would work, even.

Disobedient women must be held accountable, per the GOP and it does not matter how they get there.

That and making sure rump and all of them are considered above the law.

8. I don't know, but even JCN (Judicial Crisis Network) is starting to back off of support...

Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network, would not definitively state Wednesday that Judge Brett Kavanaugh should still be confirmed as a Supreme Court associate justice, saying allegations of misconduct should be further examined.

“I think we have to look into this further,” Severino said when asked by MSNBC’s Craig Melvin whether Kavanaugh should still be confirmed. “From what we know so far, we don’t have corroboration yet. If the Senate votes on this soon, I think they would have to go on what they know so far. I know the Senate Judiciary Committee is going to look into this before they would move forward to a vote.”

11. Encouraging but we are dealing with McConnell, ultimately, he will call the shot.

His rage at disobedient women, liberals, etc., is stronger than any conservative backlash.

I am praying I am wrong.

12. I hear ya, though McConnell was against his nom before he was for him, so I guess we will see.

I too am hoping against hope, the ramifications of him getting seated are just too much to bear.

4. I'm glad they're going public with this and showing solidarity...

I doubt it will work in the long run, but kudos to them.

The Repubs do crave at least one D vote to show "bi-partisanship."

It's too late to primary the Dems up for re-election this year, but this may help overcome some of the apathy that usually afflicts Dem voters in mid-terms.

7. Trump will double down.

It's what he does. It's what his cult does. It's what his cult wants him to do. They want to force this nominee on (the women of) America.
