Knowing the GOP, it’ll lock them further into his nomination.

This was supposed to be McGahn’s last hurrah right? Got news for you, buddy. Supreme Court nominees don’t typically have sexual assault allegations leveled against them. In fact, has one? (serious question) So “you, me, any man” doesn’t cut it here. This is not just Joe Sixpack we’re talking about.

If Jeff Dahmer’d had law degree and been nominated for the SCOTUS by Drumpf, the Reactionaries would hold tight behind him as well.
I can hear Senator Grassley’s caveat: There some people, you just shouldn’t go over to their houses. But that’s not what we’re voting on here.
There’s just no way they’re gonna pass on the chance of setting American jurisprudence back a hundred years.

But there may still be defections on this. Imagine voting yes and then trying to defend your seat in a close purple-state race where your opponent is just crucifying you over this reckless ramming-through of a under-oath liar, a guy with huge gambling debts, and an uninvestigated attempted-rape accusation. You like your odds? You want to give up your career to help out Donald Trump’s lifeline? I sure wouldn’t.

Good on Doug. This gives ample cover for Heidi, the two Joes and the other feckless red-state conserva dems to act in a likewise manner.

Someone needs to get Collins and the Murk on the record now: “Do you believe this woman to be credible? If so, does that impact your vote? Or do you think women routinely fabricate sexual assault stories about Supreme Court nominees?”

“If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something.”

That says more about the lawyer’s history with women than anything else.

“No way, not even a hint of it,” the unnamed lawyer said, asked if Kavanaugh’s nomination would be withdrawn.

“If anything, it’s the opposite,” the lawyer said. “If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something.”
