Just signed up for Judd Legum’s on-line Popular Information.

A really good roundup.

What else are they conspiring to hide about Kavanaugh’s past?

He lies constantly but he’s a terrible liar; the only reason he’s been able to get away with it so far is that vital information has been, time and again, denied his interlocutors.

CATEGORICALLY, he’s sure that he wasn’t at that particular party; I mean, there were so many booze binges in those days, right?

Sen. Hatch’s histrionics attempting to preemptively smear Anita Hill haven’t aged well; for hokiness and fraudulence they hold their own, let’s put it this way, with anything that Hatch might say today, although he’s capable of less an array of sound effects now that he’s an octogenarian.

The shameless old gaslighter loves to defame women who speak out.

I mean, it’s fine if a perjurer, and sexual assaulter sits on the Supreme Court, right?

At this point he can only withdraw his nomination, which would be the honorable thing, or double down on the lying he’s done all through his confirmation hearings.

We know what he’s doing.

And, yes, his attempt to silence the woman that he says he “doesn’t know” is on a direct continuum with his rulings on issues of reproductive rights.

Between Kavanaugh’s alleged assault and his subsequent attitude toward women as evidenced in his rulings on contraception and abortion?

Fact-based engineers tell us that the hotel planned next door to the landmark Merchants House on East 4th Street will likely cause it irreparable damage.

The City Planning Commission doesn’t care. CPC is a mockery of a municipal organization that is simply a front group for the developer jackals.  Go ahead, they’ve said to the developer, who cares about the 200-year irreplaceable landmark.

So New Yorkers who care about preserving  our city will be testifying to the New York City Council tomorrow morning urging them not to let this egregious defacement go forward.

The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation will give you details.

Is that what Susan Collins said to Brett Kavanaugh during their hour-long phone chat the other day?

Undoubtedly she pleaded for another helping of plausible deniability.

We will NOT get over it.

Andy Schnookerman at Daily Kos writes: “If Kavanaugh is bad, what McConnell and his Republicans did to the Garland nomination, and to Obama’s constitutional authority, was terrible — absolutely disgraceful, completely unprecedented, and unjustified– on a grand scale.”

McConnell battered Obama and the Dems into submission; they could not believe that the GOP would go that far.

Now, however, I think that they believe.

It’s overnight testimonial letter didn’t spring overnight–Grassley, McConnell, and the whole unsavory GOP crew knew about the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh all along.
