Creative, selective wording by the liberal media:

"Ford privately shared her story with the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, but the allegation leaked."

So the allegation leaked itself out. Notice it doesn't say "the allegation was leaked" because that implies someone leaked it and that would point toward Feinstein who is mentioned in the sentence. Rest assured that, if the tables were turned, that "was" would be right in there along with some offerings of names who might have been the ones to leak it but it would be "unconfirmed".

90%+ of K's doc classified, secret, what were they hiding?

more authoritarian secrecy, hiding the undisputed SHITTINESS of K

McGhan chose K for Trump to nominate, so McGhan knew how shitty K was.

F.B.I. Review of Kavanaugh Was Limited From the Start

An exasperated President Trump picked up the phone to call the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, last Sunday. Tell the F.B.I. they can investigate anything, he told Mr. McGahn, because we need the critics to stop.

Not so fast, Mr. McGahn said.

Mr. McGahn, according to people familiar with the conversation, told the president that even though the White House was facing a storm of condemnation for limiting the F.B.I. background check into sexual misconduct allegations against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh,

a wide-ranging inquiry like some Democrats were demanding — and Mr. Trump was suggesting — would be potentially disastrous for Judge Kavanaugh’s chances of confirmation to the Supreme Court (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/05/us/politics/brett-kavanaugh-vote-confirmed.html?module=inline).
It would also go far beyond the F.B.I.’s usual “supplemental background investigation,” which is, by definition, narrow in scope.

the F.B.I. did not interview the two people at the center — Judge Kavanaugh and his main accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, declared the F.B.I. efforts to be “a whitewash” and vowed to open a new investigation (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/05/us/politics/kavanaugh-house-investigation.html?module=inline) into the sexual misconduct allegations if Democrats take control of the House in November’s elections.

“We have to assure the American people either that it was a fair process and that the new justice did not commit perjury, did not do these terrible things,” Mr. Nadler said.

the White House is always in charge of background checks and can limit the scope of the questions F.B.I. agents can ask and who they can interview.

In the case of Judge Kavanaugh,

Mr. McGahn instructed the F.B.I. to do an additional background check focused exclusively on the sexual misconduct charges leveled by three women.

some former law enforcement experts said it was an odd decision not to include the two people at the center of the controversy.

doubted that agents decided not to interview Dr. Blasey and Mr. Kavanaugh on their own.

“I don’t think that it was in the parameters of the request,” he said.

“That’s what I would assume. It would be frustrating as an investigator. The nature of investigators is to get to the bottom line. You’d want to talk to both of them.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/05/us/politics/trump-kavanaugh-fbi.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

iow, more info, complete info, on K would have killed him. So the WH authoritarian cabal, alraedy having classified K docs, shut it down to silly uselessness.

But Warren said the FBI did not exonerate K, and of course, a shitty hard-right asshole was what the Repugs wanted, because the oligarchy paid them for pro-oligarchy compromised, shitty SCOTUS.

Plenty of those from the red team as well. A constantform Lyin Ted. And not even subtle from the WH... The WSJ also pulls this stuff. The WSJ is still a great go to. You need to take the above up with the original press piece that came out. They have been adamant on Feinstein not leaking but will not release any names.

And this needs to be thoroughly investigated, as the red team has promised.

Will Feinstein bring this up?;

2016 "Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she doesn’t even “want to contemplate” a Donald Trump presidency, during a rare interview released Sunday — in which she also talked of heading “to New Zealand” if the billionaire wins.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be . . . with Donald Trump as our president,” the 83-year-old jurist said in an interview in her chambers which was published by the New York Times.
“For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that,” she said. “Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand.”

"Kavanaugh will join the Supreme Court

despite opposition from senators representing more than half the country,

despite more than half the country opposing his nomination,

despite being viewed unfavorably by nearly half the country and thanks to a president who is viewed with disapproval by more than half the country and who lost the popular vote.

He will join three other justices who, like him, were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote."

That would be quite witty from a 15 year old. It's disturbing that "both sides" doesn't just mean the two parties, but the MSM as well. Someone should sponsor a bill to officially tag news media with "conservative" or "liberal" based on the majority of their opinion pieces. We all know who's who, but that would at least put them where they cannot pretend they aren't.

It is “simply not true” that Republican support for Brett Kavanaugh is a sign Republicans don’t care about you. Let’s let the man speak for himself:


“I’m here to talk about the false choice that is being repeated hour after hour after hour on television that this confirmation vote about one vacant seat on the Supreme Court,

in that vote we are somehow going to be making a giant binary choice about the

much broader issue of whether we do or do not care about women. That is simply not true,” he said.


Somehow the Republicans who talk like they’re principled opponents of Trump always manage to be just as dishonest as the Republicans who openly embrace Trump and his stream of lies.

It's True: Misogyny Is at the Heart of Right-Wing Politics

Republicans really do hate women

“When you grow up, I’ll be glad to [speak to you],” Sen. Orrin Hatch snapped at a group of protesters (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sen-orrin-hatch-tells-female-protestors-to-grow-up_us_5bb677a3e4b028e1fe3c0bf3), equating grown women with children who need a scolding.

You needed to go to the cops,” Sen. Lindsey Graham told another protester when she confronted him about her own history of rape, implying that he -- with no information about her situation -- understood her options better than she did.

Sen. Ben Sasse dismissed the protests (https://theslot.jezebel.com/sen-ben-sasse-dismisses-outcry-over-brett-kavanaugh-as-1828807707) by women against Kavanaugh as "hysteria" three times during the original confirmation hearing, when the focus was primarily on reproductive rights and before sexual assault became an issue.

Donald Trump, of course, is screeching on Twitter about how the protesters (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1048196883464818688) are

"paid" and funded by "Soros," because it is impossible for him imagine that women might actually have minds of their own.

This dismissal of the intelligence or honesty of sexual assault survivors is sadly not surprising.

That is how women's stories of sexual abuse have been discredited since forever.

That's how Christine Blasey Ford's moving testimony against Kavanaugh is being discredited.

This has nothing to do with what's true or most believable or most backed by evidence.

It's about asserting that women's voices have no value, no matter what they're saying or how true it is.

Christine Blasey Ford's testimony was more of the same. She had a soft, girlish voice and a winsome demeanor, completely without guile. She was vulnerable, not angry.

She came across as someone who really believed that if the Senate knew the truth, it would do the right thing.
Now she's getting smeared as a liar or a crazy woman and lost anyway.

Kate Manne disputes the naive conception of misogyny as some sort of knee-jerk hatred of women. Instead, she argues that

it's about the policing of women.

A misogynist is perfectly happy with women if they behave the way he wants them to, by being servile and pleasing.

But when women start to resist their assigned role and start insisting on respect, justice and equality, the fangs will come out.

But when women started saying no to him and started speaking up, he got red-faced, screaming and self-pitying. Republicans in Congress were so deeply moved by his performance because they, too, cannot believe these women who think they have a right to speak out.

That was why it had to be Brett Kavanaugh,

rather than substituting in some other right-wing judge with equivalent qualifications and fewer allegations of drunken sexual assault.

Because

Republican misogyny is not an act, and the party and its followers eagerly seized this opportunity to put women in their place.

https://www.alternet.org/its-true-misogyny-heart-right-wing-politics

Why did the Repugs stick with K, when Federalist Society had dozens other oligarchy-whores-in-waiting?

Because K and his attempted-rape-is-ok-with-Repugs was a baseball bat to beat ALL women with.

This is the way the senate is going to be for a long time. It's the stable equilibrium once obstructionism became normalized by eight years of McConnell. The Democrats rightfully reply in kind. Then the Republicans will do the same once the Democrats take over at whatever point that will be. And so on. There is no putting that genie back in the bottle once McConnell unleashed it.

"Will Attorney [Michael] Avenatti be sanctioned for bringing forth false affidavits against the Judge?
"Will Dr. Ford file charges of assault in Maryland to back up her assertions? Will she sign a book contract? What will she do with the half million dollars raised on her behalf? Her lawyers told the Judiciary Committee they are working free of charge.

In 2016, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced Republicans’ plan to keep the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat open until the next president took office, a year away, he issued a conclusive statement (https://www.facebook.com/mitchmcconnell/posts/1021148581257166?__xts__[0]=68.ARC-7InDt3JeBiF6w3hjif-ZMW0nnZsiOy8OoA4HfxYNBuqBHn6m2MuTgBHH93ibhR0rC4IDn yU_CE7AzfKJg4pN6_b1LLPmYDQUrMwhWqAV8u5m-caJ-w9_vZ4uOonyzHtnFat8odymw3KM0mgLRJQb6ChTc9w8EnRT4Vg pyk0ByCcW7MjSrQ&__tn__=-R):

“The American people :lol

should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. :lol

Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

On Sunday, after the confirmation of the second Supreme Court justice nominated by President Donald Trump — and with the potential for more Supreme Court nominations before Election Day in 2020 —

McConnell rewrote his own invented rule in Republicans’ favor.

McConnell implied he would work to confirm a Supreme Court nominee referred by a Republican president, namely Trump, to the Republican-controlled Senate.

Top misogynist in action

Mitch McConnell slams women for using ‘mob-like tactics’ to peacefully protest Kavanaugh

“Who is the mob?” Dickerson asked.

“Well, the people that were attacking :lol our members at their homes,” McConnell suggested.

“It was really quite a display of aggressiveness, :lol

far beyond what I would consider peaceful protesting.

They were trying to intimidate members of the Senate, :lol

not only in our home state, but also up here — actually in the Capitol.

And in our homes here in Washington.”

If he stays -
why would anyone at any trial in the USA - be held to taking an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

If the SC justice does not - why should they?

He will be impeached - book it.

The oaths taken on the stand or in depositions or anywhere else are not Game of Throne oaths. People have usually made up their mind long before they take an oath whether or not they are going to uphold it, especially when it comes to testimony. I do not think the legal system will need to worry one bit about whether future witnesses will honor their oaths before testimony because of Kavanaugh. Just my two cents as a 15+ year litigator. 99% of witnesses would probably not be able to name a supreme court justice if put on the spot.

McConnell doesn't get to break the senate and then all of a sudden have it a functioning body again when his guy is in the white house and can sign bills. Democrats have to respond in kind to McConnell's bullshit, he doesn't get to have it both ways.

This is the way the senate is going to be for a long time. It's the stable equilibrium once obstructionism became normalized by eight years of McConnell. The Democrats rightfully reply in kind. Then the Republicans will do the same once the Democrats take over at whatever point that will be. And so on. There is no putting that genie back in the bottle once McConnell unleashed it.California split in three, rules changed to allow simple majorities to ratify new US states or to change the number of Supreme Court justices.

Court packing is now a plausible winning issue for Dems.

The right has an extremely effective media pushing their propaganda. I always find it laughable when I hear how far left the Democrats have gone when their leader of the party in 2016 is the wife of their leader of the party from 1992. Maybe nominating a negro was their big move left?

I’m still waiting to hear about what the big move to the left was too. The Clintons are center right on economic and foreign policy issues.

Labeled by whom? You can pinpoint losing the presidential election to losing the Rust Belt, Pennsylvania and Florida. They didn't lose them by being 'too left', AFAIK, but their marriage to globalism. I mean, even though I don't think he had the machinery to do as well, a much more lefty but anti-globalist Bernie probably had a better appeal than Shillary.

The Democratic Party certainly needs to use this opportunity to reinvent themselves, like every party does over time. My concern is the overall (GOP and Dems) tilt towards populism. Hollow claims and outright lies have taken over sane discourse, and that's dangerous over time, IMO.

I don't think the DNC moved much at all, not at the upper level. They purport to be about differences. The LGBQT community, the minorities, single moms... all that. Their inner circle though seems to be old school politicians who just kept covering for each other and ensuring they collectively remain in power in the DNC.

Bingo. The Democratic Party’s problem isn’t that it’s too far to the left, it’s that, outside of wedge issues like transgender bathrooms/gay marriage/police brutality that only affect a small number of people, it doesn’t have any ideals it stands for anymore, its only strategy to win elections is by crying foul about how mean the Republicans are. That’s why the Republican base was so much more energized than the Democratic base in 2016.

The fact that Flynt Michigan had a higher voter turnout for Democrats in the primaries than it did in the actual election speaks volumes. A huge amount of rust belt voters who had been life long Democrats saw no reason to bother with voting for Clinton.

Apparently one can't recognize blatant racism without "whining" or being a "victim". All continue to call it out. You should question why so many feel comfortable being racist in public. And apparently you recognize that because you aren't even arguing against it. All you can do is dismiss someone calling it out by calling them a "victim" or saying they "whine".

Agreed that the groundwork for over the top partisanship had been laid as early as the late 70s/early 80s, but Democrats went along with a lot of what Reagan did in the 80s out of recognition that it’s what the country had voted for regardless of he fact they disagreed with it.

We are clearly sliding into the Congress and the judiciary giving up their independence from the executive branch. This has always been dangerous. No matter when it occurs.

But the real power the executive branch is taking advantage of is congressmen’s fear of NOT BEING RE-ELECTED. Trump and McConnell have done an outstanding job of recognizing this. So maybe, in a way, this is good. Congress should have to explain their decisions and if the voters don’t like it, they need to recognize their time to SERVE is up. Now go get a job. Having nothing to do with your prior allegiances. I dare ya...

The biggest, dominant factor is "capture" of govt by the oligarchy. All the dangers and problems of failed govt, of break down of Constitutional safeguards, degradation of good-faith conventions and protocols that allowed bi-partisanship, derive from the oligarchy's capture.

Brett Kavanaugh will have his first opportunity to repay Trump even sooner than you think (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/7/1802581/-Brett-Kavanaugh-will-have-his-first-opportunity-to-repay-Trump-even-sooner-than-you-think)

After Trump Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was caught lying to Congress (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/9/19/1796749/-New-documents-suggest-Wilbur-Ross-lied-to-Congress-about-origins-of-census-citizenship-question)about the origins of a new census "citizenship" question,

the Trump administration has been seeking to block a federal judge from requiring testimony from Ross

over a lawsuit claiming the White House added the question with racially discriminatory intent.

Kavanaugh, then, could become the deciding vote in deciding

whether an administration official caught lying in public statements can claim that executive privilege shields him from having to testify about those statements.

And the prospect of a nominee picked for his apparent extreme willingness

to protect the Trump administration from criminal and civil investigations voting within days of his swearing-in to do

exactly what his most alarmist critics predicted he was being brought on to do

Agreed that the groundwork for over the top partisanship had been laid as early as the late 70s/early 80s, but Democrats went along with a lot of what Reagan did in the 80s out of recognition that it’s what the country had voted for regardless of he fact they disagreed with it. The 90s as you said was when things like fucking government shutdowns went from being disaster scenarios to tools used by the Republicans to stop Clinton from getting anything done.

Pretty much. The "Republican revolution" led by Gingrich (suppresses gag reflex) set the tone for everything that was to follow. They began to actively weed out moderates at that time. After the census in 2000, someone got the bright idea for operation RedMap and that finished the job by making both sides more extreme, and less able to compromise to get anything done.

The GOP slipping down the slippery slope....


According to a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, a little over half of Republicans said they would consider voting for a political candidate who had been accused of sexual harassment by multiple people if they agreed with them on the issues. Conversely, 81 percent of Democrats say they would “definitely not vote for” the candidate.
