I also admire her lawyer--playing the 'pubs. This ain't over yet.
All those who said to give up--that Kavanaugh was a sure bet,
may be shown to be mistaken.

But if I was, I'd be happy to be wrong! Grassley is probably emptying his drawers about now.

If she is forced to testify in front of a panel of 11 republican men that they would say Kavanaugh has to do his testimony in front of a panel of 11 democratic women

if allowed. GOP doesn't want ootics of gang interrogating a believable victim of violent, sexual assault.

GOP only worried about optics, not truth and justice.

I've saying for years that GOP's coordinated efforts and talking points were written and correographed by the likes of Wall Street advertisers like BBD&O

McConnell is the star in the GOP commercial appealing to bigots, the fearful, the zeolots, and the Fox sheep.

Bill Maher said that only 5 people were at the party. I didn't know that. How hard is it to interview 5 whole people? All of this is crap when it comes down to it. Garland should be on the SCOTUS. Kavanaugh should be impeached as a judge since he lies under oath and in not credible. The SCOTUS does NOT represent the US and hasn't for 20+ years. Gore should've won, he would have put justices on the court instead of Bush. This 3rd part of our country's "equal" branches has not been fairly represented by the overall population as it once did. We have been living under one party rule via cheating and lying for most of my life. The minority has the money and they have bought their way to the top since Reagun.
