The more obvious it is that Kavanaugh is a violent sexual predator, the harder it will be for the republicans to confirm him. They have to keep up some pretense of decency.

during his remarks before he voted. He was so cool today. They all were. I called them to say "Thanks" and half of the Dem members' phones were not busy or "mailbox full". Still time to call and thank them.

12. Interesting Vox article

Kavanaugh's calendar definitely needs to be looked into more. It would be pretty ironic if it ended up being the catalyst that helped prove Blasey Ford's accusation. And the fact that Lindsay Graham took the very moment that their prosecutor asked him about that entry to dismiss here and unleash his unhinged rant is also very suspicious. There is MUCH more to this.

"The calendar doesn’t illustrate much except that he spent a lot of time hanging out with friends, Vox’s Tara Golshan writes. Upon closer analysis, however, one of the events detailed on it could possibly serve as evidence — not for him, but against him.

As the Washington Post notes, Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell — the attorney who questioned both Ford and Kavanaugh — ended up highlighting an interesting connection between a July 1 entry in Kavanaugh’s calendar and the account that Ford has provided regarding the evening of her assault.

In that July 1 entry, Kavanaugh notes plans to go to “Timmy’s for skis with Judge, Tom, P.J. Bernie and ... Squi.” “Skis” is short for “brewskies,” or beer.

It’s a gathering that Kavanaugh detailed in responding to questions from Mitchell:

MITCHELL: The entry says, and I quote, go to ‘Timmy’s for skis with Judge, Tom, P.J. Bernie and ... Squi?’

KAVANAUGH: Squi. It’s a nickname.

MITCHELL: To what does this refer, and to whom?

KAVANAUGH: [after explaining the “Tobin’s House” part] It looks like we went over to Timmy’s. You want to know their last names, too? I’m happy to do it."

If she was going any further with that line of questioning, we never found out — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took over with his now-infamous rant, and we never heard from Mitchell again."

Take pictures and show Dr. Ford! This may be the house and it may trigger further memories.

This calendar was idiotic to bring up by Kavanaugh. It will sink him! It was as if he was saying, “See! I never entered attempted rape anywhere!”
