They want people talking about this, not the FISA declass (or what it will show). That's about as far out as they've thought out this strategy. 

 

 

******************************************************************

 

... Apparently the accuser wrote a similar letter about Justice Gorsuch (Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are 3 years apart and both attended the same prep academy).

 

 

Not confirmed yet... working on it.

(more)

I wish I lived through I time where the political environment would allow me to be absolutely stunned by this.

 

Sadly, I'm not even a bit surprised.  If true this should be weaponized against both the Democrats and the # metoo movement for the remainder of there existence.

It's amazing, isn't it? I had two people call me about it, but I couldn't it (still working on it). Now I'm hearing from journalists covering the Hill the dems they spoke to aren't denying the second letter's existence. That's reportedly why DF didn't bring it up in the open session, the republicans were ready apparently.

Just listening to someone on the radio right now saying that if they can't get him for rape, he shouldn't be confirmed anyway because...underaged drinking.

 

Yet as am employer, we are not even permitted to ask job applicants if they have a criminal past.  Can we imagine a world where a job applicant who is accused of doing something 30+ years ago and before the age of 18 can be disqualified for a job in which the applicant is highly qualified and has no criminal history?

Wow...God I hope this is true.

To me, that’s a sin. Lying about service is beyond wrong. I never forgave Reagan for it. 

I've never had a problem with it, and don't really think you do either. I think you're fron'in. 

 

Besides, if he's just living his truth, then it is not a lie.

I think there are a lot of different answers, first of which is they think they can put this off until after the mid-terms and, should they win enough seats, maybe parlay it into a  moderate judge who would be more like Kennedy.

 

But I think in the end, the left is mostly panicked because they literally have no message going into the mid-terms beyond "We now openly embrace socialism." They are the flip side of the GOP during its early Tea Party candidates. When the GOP had a woman running an ad that says "I'm not a witch," the Dems have a woman Ocasio, who is an equally hot mess because she literally has no idea what she is saying beyond "Socialism good!"

 

So the Dem's plan right now is rabble, rabble, rabble...with very specific media support calling Kavanaugh a sexual predator.

 

It's all they have at the moment., especially in light of how Trump is going to release docs that show Obama and Clinton colluding to overtake Trump with the fake Russia story, so they need to make as much noise as possible.

 

But then again, I could be totally wrong.

 

 

 

 

I don't think they have any intention of leveraging any of this into a moderate Trump nomination.  I think they're perfectly happy to go to 2020 with a vacant Supreme Court seat.  Or wait for Trump to be impeached, so they can steal underpants and profit.

 

Don't forget: they think they won the presidency, and Trump is illegitimate.  These should be their nominations, not his.

I *think* you're joking, but it's a testimony to the state of the Dems that one could easily argue you're serious.

as I said above..I just don't see the upside for the Dems long or short term .

 

 

Too many of them live in a bubble where everyone outside that bubble is a deplorable, virulent dregs of society who can and should be ignored.

 

Within their own world-view - bubble-view - there is nothing BUT upside.

I'm not joking.  This is about identity.  How a person identifies themselves is the single most inviolable thing about that person.  Most people will destroy themselves and everything around them rather than change how they view themselves.   

 

And they identify as the #Resistance.  They can't accept a Trump nomination.  They'd have to throw out their entire self-image.

Wow, I hope this is true. This Ford broad will be annihilated under oath, and every single Democrat on the committee will look like even bigger fools (if that's even possible.) Hopefully this would be the nail in Feinstein's coffin - let the even loonier liberal unseat her.

I seriously want to slap Feinstein.  Her manipulation of this woman and this whole process is sociopathic.

the answer is within your post, so you most likely are not as dumb as you might think, with regard here.

 

they want to deny Kavanaugh because he is viewed as a stauch conservative and if he is put onto the Court, he will heavily tip the scales with a conservative slant. if they can deny him or postpone the confirmation hearing until after the mid terms, by winning the majority, they are hoping that they will be able to deny him outright by a vote. also, if they hold a majority, they can prevent the seat being filled by any other stauch conservative and force Trump to nominate, at minimum a moderate which would better serve their agenda.

 

i believe the court is considered to be an even split right now with Chief Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, and Justice Anthony Kennedy all leaning right and Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor all leaning left. so if Kavanaugh gets on, it will tilt the court to the right and it is widely suspected that RBG may not outlast Trump, so they are doubly scared.

You forget Edwards.

I have to believe that if the right had a copy of a similar letter from Ford about Gorsuch that we would have heard about it, at least in the past week.

 

Still, if it's true, the fall out for the left from this kind of deception would be enormous. Trump will beat them about the head and shoulders like he was holding a wet fish.

 

Meanwhile, Matthew Dodd knows how to heal the country...

 

 

I have a way for you to heal the country, Dowd.

 

Go pjhukc yourself.

They should "accidentally" release the Ford-Gorsuch letter and be done with this charade.

If they have it, why not keep it in reserve and use it for maximum impact (once an idiot like Feinstein falls into the trap)? Beat the Democrats at their own game.

DIANNE FEINSTEIN ON KAVANAUGH ACCUSATION: ‘I CAN’T SAY EVERYTHING IS TRUTHFUL.’

Senator Dianne Feinstein of California conceded Tuesday that she can’t attest to the veracity of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school.

 

“[Ford] is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted. On this . . . I can’t say that everything is truthful. I don’t know,” Feinstein told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked if she believed the allegation.

 

 

 

 

As one Twitter user noted, “And there we go. Why Feinstein sat on it for months. She didn’t buy it either. But she needed a last-minute Hail Mary so this is what she went for.”
