Sen. Whitehouse is going after this still!

He is showing Kavavaugh's July calendar as evidence of the date and place, calling for an FBI investigation. He also went after the real definitions of "Devil's Triangle" and the other jargon in Kavavaugh's yearbook that he lied about. He is angry about the special interests and dark money in the court too. GOOD FOR HIM!

don't give a damn what we think. The know their days could be numbered. They know having the SC and the Fed Courts will keep the power on their side as cases come to these courts.

for the horrible activities Kav and Judge took part in were LIED about by the Gang Rapist yesterday. I was finishing high school and beginning college in the early 80’s...all the stuff on the Gang Rapist’s calendar were a thing back then. I can’t count how many times this asshole perjured himself yesterday alone.

Not unless he is voted down or impeached from the Court. This is a triple barreled issue: Garland and the stolen seat by delay and broken rules and norms, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. There are already prominent Americans on Twitter calling for impeachment, and raising the number of Court Justices in 2020-2024. This will not end. The way this has been handled has been a rape of its own kind.

I called the Dem senators on the committee while the GOP guys were talking but I couldn't have missed both of them.

I got through to the offices of all them but Booker, Klorbucher and Blumenthal and thanked them for their work for the Dems in the country.

We in Rhode Island know you're a bulldog, and we're happy you showed your strength to the rest of the country also.

We will proudly return you to the Senate on November 6 to continue your good work.
