What nobody's saying: All 6 FBI Kav investigations only went back to 1993.(no GP or Yale years)

According to the transcript of a Senate staffer phone call with Kavanaugh (9/26/18), the FBI has never questioned or investigated Kavanaugh on his life before 1993, presumably the year he became what seems a highly charged, protected Repub operative. The current accusations of sexual violence against women all occurred in the eighties at Georgetown Prep and Yale. So these six FBI investigations never investigated or questioned Kavanaugh or any of his classmates to provide any information at all about the
Kav eighties years now under vital examination.


How many times during the hearing and in interviews did Trump & the GOP Senators use these 6 FBI investigatioins as dodge & cover against reopening Kav's file. Even today it still appears that Trump,Grassly, McConnell etc are thwarting the FBi from investigating
accusors and witnesses to charges from these crucial, never investigated years: 1983-1993. And, by not allowing the FBI to reinterview Kavanaugh and question him on those years for which these accusations have been made, they pretty pointedly are protecting Kav from criminal charges when he lies to the FBI

Murkowski, Collins if you're listening: Kavanaugh is a lifelong pervert, sexual violator of women

With as marked a pedo kink in torturing a vulnerable,raped teenage refuge (i.e. his recent gruesome campaign to force birth/enslave in Garza) to Kavanaugh's forced restraint, rape attempt against a girl in high school. He seems especially turned on by sexual violence when he thinks he has the girls helpless and under his physical or judicial power.

It's no coincidence that the misogynist Republican Senate is pushing for this lifelong sexual criminal to be seated on SCOTUS (next to fellow serial woman hater Thomas) at the same time as The Violence Against Women Act reauthorization languishes in both the Republican House and Senate.

Seantors Murkowski and Collins if you're listening....

Congress needs to stop this cringeworthy sexist protocol.

The first time I ever watched a role call vote in Congress, I was absolutely stunned by this protocol of blatant sexism:

Every male senator and congressperson vote called/recorded as "Mr.", every woman Senator/Rep as "Mrs, Miss or Ms." Couldn't believe this idiotic, antique, offensive tradition had never been corrected.

There is no defense for defining a Congressperson or Senator by gender. Much less a woman in Congress by marital status. No one in real life or the press would ever call any senator or congressperson by any other title than "Senator" or "Representative".

I used to write my female senator (now retired) all the time about changing this obviously offensive anachronism. Never got any response, never saw this insulting tradition ever discussed in or outside the halls of Congress. I was reminded recently of this gratuitous discrimination by the still photo of Senator Feinstein's courageous throw down of those Fusion GPS records.... with her name plate "Mrs Feinstein" behind the documents. Stomach turning.

On the eve of the National Women's March, Congress should pass resolutions in both legislative bodies to address all members only by the professional titles of respect that they have earned and deserve: Senator and Representative.
