I agree SJ. Small victories are still victories. They have been exposed. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Call Flake, Murkowski, and Collins.

In my opinion, Kavanaugh's behavior during the confirmation hearing was sufficiently bizarre, disrespectful and disgraceful as to forever disqualify him from ever serving as a judge in any capacity, let alone as a Supreme Court Justice. That will remain true regardless of the outcome of the one-week FBI investigation.
If mainstream and social media continue to use the one-week delay to constantly replay and protest Kavanaugh's tantrums in the hearing, I believe that public opinion will dramatically tilt against Kavanaugh's confirmation, enough to swing the Senate vote or to have his nomination withdrawn.

8201girl, are you saying that my description of Kavanaugh's performance at the hearing last week is 100% wrong? Did you watch it? If not, it's easily found online and well worth seeing in its entirety.

TallMike he definitely did not do himself any favors with that performance.

Kind of a hard choice left if he is not confirmed. Barrett is a lunatic and she's next in the pipeline.

If he were a woman, the word 'histrionics' would be in the headlines.

Yup Helen. If he were a woman acting that way they would have had him removed and put in an asylum.

Supposedly the White House is allowing an expansion of the scope of the investigation but not the duration.

His behavior was truly pitiful, even if he were applying for a job at McDonalds, that would not fly.

My 2 Senators are Democrats, there's not much more I can do. I've written to them, encouraged them to twist arms, what else can I do?

You can call flake Collins and murkowski. You don't have to be a constituent. They are national office holders.

helenkeller
Yes, that's right. I'll do that. I'll tell you & little miss 8201, if he ends up a Supreme Court Justice, there won't be a Republican majority in Congress for a very, very long time.

Ted Lieu just said that if Kavanaugh gets confirmed and the Dems take the house they will open investigations with an eye on impeachment of Kavanaugh.
