That would be enough - but he added his yearbook lies, drinking lies,etc
Blatant lying under oath and there is no way to get out of it. Only thing keeping him from a true investigation is the GOP having the majority - but that will change.
I think you will be disappointed - I'd put money on that.Quote:

Democrats have to respond in kind to McConnell's bullshit, he doesn't get to have it both ways.Quote:

Republican senator lectures women on how not to feel about his support for Kavanaugh
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,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.
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.

"whether we do or do not care about women. That is simply not true" :lol
which side of the "binary" "or" is "simply not true" :lol

Its time for the blue blue team to get their licks in possibly. Disrupt. Delay. But in 2020 they will have the executive branch again imo... What then?
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, 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 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 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-mi...-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.Quote:

"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.
"Will Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D-Calif.] be investigated by the Ethics Committee for holding back Dr. Ford's original letter for six weeks before someone leaked it to the press? Surely, the Senate should find out who leaked it."
In Change, McConnell Implies He’d Consider Trump SCOTUS Nom In Election Year
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:
“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.

So if some SCOTUS judge, preferably one of the 4, dies in 2020, Bitch would rapidly approve Trash's nominee.
Because of "the American People"
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.”
