Really, just confirm him and end the Dem clown circus
They'll just move on to their next hysterical outrage anyway
Testify under oath or it didn't happen.

Even if this is true that two teens were drunk at a party and he tried to grab a boob, does that now mean you can't hold any type of office or have any high profile job?
Besides, Gloria Steinem , in defense of Bill Clinton, declared mean are allowed One Free Grope. Kavanaugh should just invoke his free grope card

Maybe Sen Feinstein should be confronted by the Senate for her clear lack of timely disclosure.
Anyone concerned about the concept of justice ought to be offended by Feinstein's handling of the entire issue.

She had the info back in July and waited till the 11th hour before disclosing it. Total scumbag move.
Now the accuser will not testify under oath in front of a committee. Anybody shocked by these liberal scumbags???
This is easy to fix going forward.... censure any senator that witholds any information from a committee... just stop the politics in these processes
Why going forward? Censure Feinstein NOW!!!

She's doesn't; recall where it happened. Wow, when something major in your life happens, you know exactly where you are when it happens. This lady is a lair. And she's doing it to try to delay the vote until the mid term elections are over.

The # MeToo crap is done on social media because Filing a false police report is a misdemeanor. Perjuring yourself in front of the committee is a felony. She will never expose herself to direct cross examination for that reason.
Feinstein couldnt disclose it sooner because it was in the glove compartment of her official vehicle driven by her staffed chinese spy, and he was having to find change to pay for parking.
Notice how there are no resident libs coming here supporting this Democratic stall tactic. Because it is a despicable act of character assassination. Not even a question.

Feinstein is quite the fool to float it. It must be because of her entrenchment in CA politics and the fact that the idiots keep electing her.
Beautiful, on point article:
The drive to sink Kavanaugh is liberal totalitarianism
I don’t use the “T”-word lightly. I’ve spent years pushing back against those who fling it about in free societies like ours. But totalitarianism doesn’t require cartoonish, 1984-style secret police and Big Brother. The classical definition is a society where everything — ethical norms and moral principles and truth itself — is subjugated to political ends.
By that measure, the Democratic campaign to block Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, based on a hazy, uncorroborated, decades-old assault allegation, tends toward the totalitarian. Certainly, it has many of the elements of abusive politics that Americans normally associate with foreign lands untouched by the light of liberty and reason:
An (initially) anonymous accusation, surfaced at the 11th hour, seemingly calculated to strike terror into the hearts of Kavanaugh and his family members and supporters? Check! That came in the form of Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s cryptic statement last week, confirming that she had “received information from an individual concerning the nomination” of Kavanaugh but declining to offer any details.
An accusation that’s impossible to rebut? Check! Senate Democrats are demanding that the FBI look into the allegations first before the Judiciary Committee holds a hearing. But Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, can’t remember the time or location of the alleged incident. An FBI probe is impracticable, not to mention improper given the lack of a federal crime.
Kavanaugh’s integrity is thus besmirched, and the path to the only forum where he could clear his name is obstructed.
A media mob that treats the mere existence of an accusation as proof of its veracity? Check! The examples of this are legion. My favorite came courtesy of the Atlantic writer who claimed that her own run-in with a pervert meant that Kavanaugh is also guilty. This, just a couple of years after Rolling Stone’s University of Virginia fiasco was supposed to have taught reporters a lesson about the importance of listening to the accused as well as the accusers.
It didn’t have to be this way.
Feinstein didn’t have to leak the anonymous accusation to the press, contrary to Ford’s wishes. Or she could have urged Ford to go public early, giving both parties enough time to be heard.
Even now, Feinstein and her colleagues could back a committee hearing, without which Kavan*augh has no realistic opportunity for mounting a defense. Kavan*augh is a judge and a political operator. But he ‘s also a father and husband.
But no. Senate Dems have settled on the ugliest means available, even by the standards of the body that added the verb “Borking” to our political vocabulary. The question is: Why have Republican high-court nominations brought out the worst from the left, going back to the Ronald Reagan era?
The short answer is that liberals fear their major cultural victories of the past half-century are democratically illegitimate. Not a single one was won at the ballot box, going back to the Supreme Court’s 1965 Griswold decision, which recognized a constitutional right to contraceptives. From abortion to gay marriage, plus a host of less titillating issues, modern liberalism has lived by the Court. And liberals fear their cause will die by the Court.
Unless, that is, they block conservative encroachments into the judiciary by all means necessary. Hence, Borking and Clarence Thomas-ing. And hence, too, the naked slandering of Mitt Romney in the course of the 2012 presidential campaign, to forestall his shifting the Court to the right.
I wish I could say that the way out of this impasse is for the right to double down on the gentle conservatism represented by Romney, the Bush dynasty, and the late John McCain. Perhaps that is the right course in the long term. But for now, it is imperative for the health of American democracy to resist the liberal ruthlessness that is on display in the halls of the Senate.
The verb “to Kavanaugh” must not be permitted to enter our lexicon, lest the step to unfreedom become irrevocable.

Here is the thing... social media lets us all saywhat wewant publicity, but too often people talk off the cuff and don’t expect to get called out for it. The example of the schoolmate who postedon facebook that she knew this happened and that it did happen backtracked immediately when federal officials showed up wanting her to testify... She got turned down by the other guy referred to in the accusations.. that was part of her post... she used that as a way to confirm he was a bad person to all her friends... but tgere was no substance to her allegations either and it has more holes than the first...
This is why allegations aren’t facts... and why after too much time passes most crimes aren’t allowed to be prosecuted... memory and biases aren’t reliable

If the allegation was true they would have used it in the hearings to get him booted. It's obviously bullshit. That's why they waited until the last minute in an act of desperation, why the ***** won't testify and why ***** DiFi won't provide an unredacted copy of the letter. Americans should be sickened by this.
I think (hope) they show how sickened they are at the ballot box.

It really seems to me that the Republicans are between a rock and a hard place.
You either push things through - making your party look worse before the midterms but you seat a new Justice.
Or you cave to pressure - making your party look worse before the midterms AND you don't seat a new Justice.
It just looks like they're doomed to suffer at the midterms.

She's 85 year old, and can afford to be a tool because its California and she won't be in politics much longer.
