Exit polling suggests the issue was a net negative for Republicans. Same with public polling prior to the election. Polling indicates that more people believe Blasey Ford than believe Kavanaugh and also indicates that more people think Kavanaugh should not have been confirmed than believe he should have been confirmed.

It was not a net positive for Republicans.

Yes I know Republicans gained Senate seats. But that was always the likelihood due to the nature of the seats that came up this time Kavanaugh or no Kavanaugh. Meanwhile, overall, women voted for Democrats over Republicans in House races by 59% to 40%. There are no stats like that for Senate races but I'd be confident betting that, nationally, women voted overwhelmingly Democrat in those races as well.

So, Mr. Conservative, are you backing Merrick Garland for the Ginsburg vacancy? Or do you prefer a member of the National Lawyers Guild? God, you’re a hypocrite.

89Hen wrote:OK guys, you take take this FWIW. I'm not sure how many of you know people who directly know either Ford or Kavanaugh. I talked to no less than seven people today who directly know one or the other. It's the same story over and over and over. Kavanaugh is described as the cleanest guy you've ever met. Seems like he's known for a long time that he wanted this path and lived the path that would get him here. Ford on the other hand had a reputation of being a VERY promiscuous girl in HS. I've heard stories just today that would make you doubt anything she had to say. These were from people that do not like Trump at all. That aren't staunch conservatives.

Based on the first person accounts I've heard, this is a political witch hunt. Period. End of story.
Don't say I didn't tell you.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate ... Us2RUj916s
Ford was the key witness against Kavanaugh. In detail, she said Kavanaugh tried to remove her clothing during a high school party, but had trouble because she was wearing a bathing suit underneath them. She said she ran off when Kavanaugh friend Mark Judge jumped on top of them and they fell off the bed. Kavanaugh denied the accusation and, on Oct. 6, the Senate confirmed him to the Supreme Court.

The man who claims he may have had the encounter with Ford was one of 40 people committee investigators interviewed as part of its probe into the sexual allegations against Kavanaugh, which was done alongside the FBI background check that was compiled in a matter of days.
The report summarizes an interview with a Yale grad who said that a member of Kavanaugh’s fraternity -- who was not Kavanaugh -- had a reputation for exposing himself publicly.

The man was interviewed after Deborah Ramirez told the New Yorker that Kavanaugh had thrust his penis in her face when they were at Yale. She said she was drunk and wasn’t sure it was Kavanaugh until she thought about it for a week and spoke to her attorney. Kavanaugh vehemently denied her accusation.

The reports says the man, whose name was redacted, also provided a yearbook photo of the frat brother exposing himself.

The report says the man said he had personally witnessed the flasher expose himself at a party and that the flasher was in the same residential college as Ramirez.

Yes I saw that. And what that is is a testament to the fact that conservatives cannot rely on the judges they appoint voting how they think they will vote. Liberals have a lot better luck with that.

Agreed. Why is this a bad thing? The justices looked at the case and judged it appropriately based on the law, not on their political views nor the views of the folks who nominated them in the first place. Isn't this what we want? :coffee:

So I get a sardonic remark about my sardonic remark about people over-dramatizing the SCOTUS appointment, and then when 89Hen says he disagrees you go on to basically say...people make too big a deal over SCOTUS appointments. :lol:

I basically agree with what Ibanez says, BTW.

it was AZ and 93 who were disturbed by my lack of concern about supreme court appointments...
I think because I was being a smug prick
and asked any middle aged white guy would care who gets appointed..?

:lol:

That attitude always triggers AZ
also I think if you search this thread you'll find me asking what is wrong with Kavanaugh..?
He seems fine to me
