Prediction---Kavanaugh gets charged and convicted in a state

court and loses his license to practice law and then, when Congress moves to impeach him, the Senate GOP minority will try to keep him on the Supreme Court anyway, and the Kavanaugh scandal will later be cited as one of the major factors in the total and utter demise of the Republican Party.

They should have let him be a "martyr" to the "Femi-Nazis" and selected some conservative who kept it in his pants. Then, the GOP could have capitalized on Kavanaugh by using him to make white Republican men afraid.

Instead, they have made Democrats angry. And angry Democrats vote.

The statute of limitations on the assault has run long ago (it was a misdemeanor in 1982), and lying to Congress is a federal crime. I can't think of any state crimes he might have committed.

The statute of limitations that applies is the one that was in effect when the crime was committed.

This is going to change more than most realize, I believe we are witnessing the final hijacking of the Republican party, for and to have loyalty to, Donald Trump.

Remember to get him impeached the House of Representatives followed by conviction by the Senate, has to happen.

watched and talked about in bad ways, especially Brett. He has tarnished the court. He's a poison bill. Majority truly dislikes the conservative portion of the US SC. Time limits need to happen.

Roberts will likely ask him to just step down. But, yes. If it happens, the GOP is going to regret ramming this shitbag down our throats.

He was selected for the job, because the organized criminals who own Trump think they "own" Kavanaugh, too. That means there is serious dirt on him. Worse even than attempted drunken frat boy rape. And since whichever journalist brings him down will be famous forever, the world's press will leave no stone unturned. And the Pentagon/NSA/CIA/FBI will help. Because they hate Trump even more than they hated Nixon. Deep Throat was military, remember?
