I wouldn’t call flake spineless. He isn’t caving to political pressure… Cause he has no political future. Seems like a big middle finger to the Trump admin more than anything?
Probably just for Ford. Then, once that is concluded, Hirono, Booker, and Alyssa Milano will demand an investigation for the next one. Or, republicans support rape or soemthing.
Still, they have positioned him right at the precipice of confirmation. One week of investigation they’ll have disarmed the FBI stuff, giving these senators cover. Immediate vote on the floor and done.In the process they a nominee who went through all those previous backgrounds, the regular committee process, the additional hearing, and now an additional FBI investigation.
FBI questioning has a way of clarifying one’s memories.
As there is no doubt in my mind the FBI will turn up something–as in, at the least, they will confirm the facts we already know–this is a difficult question to answer.
Worth remembering Kavanaugh is not on trial–he’s interviewing for a job. And as he has lied to my face (through the TV), I for one do not find him suitable for that job.
While in college, I was so drunk that I got lured (“hey man, there’s a party on the third floor, chicks and booze, come on right up”) into a supposed “party” in an apartment where only five or six dudes were present. When I entered, one bolted the door behind me and the second one grabbed my arm me so I immediately broke grip and one twoed him in the face (left jab to gauge the distance, then a straight right) and then dropped the second one with a haymaker. Not a superhuman feat as all those dudes were pudgy and looked like they never did anything even resembling physical activity. I unbolted the door and ran out after kicking the third dude in the shin.
I ran to my dorm high with an adrenaline rush laughing hysterically all the way. After sobering up the next morning I turned on the TV and saw that during the night a group of trainee priests from a nearby catholic seminary were beaten up in an unprovoked attack after returning late from a pilgrimage trip.
They never did find the culprit. And the guy who grabbed my arm and whom I one twoed in the face? Well, whenever I see a news article about a papal vist (both Francis and Benedict XVI) somewhere, I usually see his fat face in the background.
