Jeff Flake Suggests Delaying Kavanaugh Vote Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

quote [ The Arizona senator became the first Republican to urge the Judiciary Committee not to vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination until his accuser can be heard. ]

If they don't have Flake they can't get it out of committee.

Kavanaugh accuser breaks silence over sexual misconduct allegations

Not at all sure what this is all about but anything that slows this nightmare down is a good thing. I am not believing this story...not yet anyway...a high school story just coming out now...but hey I'll take it,especially in it stops this guy's conformation until after the election.

Here is a major side story about this...

Facebook Suppressed a Story About Brett Kavanaugh’s Opposition to Roe v. Wade. We’re Republishing It.

Who ever though that the Weekly Standard would be an unbiased judge of what is fake news...was being...biased.


Facebook blocked the spread of a liberal article because a conservative told it to
How Facebook’s supposedly unbiased fact-checking can go very wrong.

It didn't come out before because Feinstein sat on it.

I'm very leery of letting one person's claim of bad behavior derail someone's career (it's too easy for the Republicans to weaponize that, and they will), but I'm inclined to believe the woman - she's in for a raft of shit from the right for speaking up, so it's unlikely she'd do so without good reason. If her story is true there's a good chance there are other similar stories.

The fact that Kavanaugh is blatantly guilty of perjury should have been more than enough to sink this nomination already. There's zero chance that he saw Leahy's internal memos and did not realize they were stolen.
