The Senate Judiciary Committee needs to slow down and postpone its vote on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court until the FBI can investigate accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by three women.

1. That's gonna sting...

him.

[ffr]

2. The guys old. If he's east coast & posting this at near 2 AM in the morning, it must be bothering

him something fierce, don't you think?

7. He posted at 10 didn't he?

[ffr]

8. 1:21 AM eastern time, 1 hour ago.

Correction 1:21 AM EST. 10:21 PST

9. Just curious but why does the tweet time stamp say 10:21?

For my education about Twitter

11. It's the time it appeared in your feed based on your time zone.

13. Not really

I am 65 and my sleeping pattern has changed a lot

Frequently don't go to sleep until 2

I think most of us increase our caffeine. Last night I was exhausted by all this b.s. and went to bed at midnight but my wife didn't goto bed until 2

3. Too late.

Really, now? It's over. Dershowitz attempts to save face. What a pathetic piece of shit.

[ffr]

5. Not according to the story. Dershowitz has 45's ear. It could be a play to validate 45 revoking

the nomination, at the very least.

4. What?

He's been up trump's ass for months. Why is he changing his tune now?

6. Donald Trump's pal Alan Dershowitz shockingly tries to put the brakes on Brett Kavanaugh nomination

PalmerReport gives some possibilities

On the one hand, with the Brett Kavanaugh nomination now rapidly shaping up as a stain on American history, it’s possible that Alan Dershowitz may simply be trying to avoid taking one more reputational hit as he continues to turn into more of a Trump shill. On the other hand, maybe Dershowitz really is trying to talk Trump into moving on from Kavanaugh, for fear that pushing any further forward could backfire. Trump does tend to listen to his unofficial advisers; it appears he decided not to fire Rod Rosenstein based at least partly on a public plea from Sean Hannity.

10. That will have absolutely no effect whatsoever.

[malaise]

12. He must really be missing those Martha's Vineyards dinners

14. He was on Fox - the Tuckster's show - last night...

... saying the same thing. Criticizing the decision to use Mitchell (saying she was awful and incompetent), saying that there had to be an FBI investigation and they had to talk to these other witnesses ... etc..

Carlson kept looking down at his notes and then back at the camera with a "wait, that's not in the script" look.
