So, what's the WH/Senste justification for not interviewing the witnesses the accusers say will corroborate their claims?

[andi*pandi]

Or even the accusers. Or anyone who knows anything about Bart's drinking.

[turtle777]

Does it matter ? No matter what the FBI does, if the outcome is that it doesn’t find any proof or corroboration, the left will continue to throw a tantrum and say the investigation should be longer / more independent / lead by Muller etc...

In their mind, all of the stuff happened, and if the FBI can’t find it, it’s nefarious.

There is no point in continuing with this sham.

Fixed.

Complaining about how biased "the left" is and how they'd be unwilling to accept the outcome of an investigation if they don't like the results seems a bit..tone deaf?

The swing votes? Yes.

With two days left on the investigation they had the time to keep interviewing people. The WH is acting like they're afraid of what they might find.

[andi*pandi]

Krusty the clown, you are accused of throwing pies at a party. We will investigate by neither asking anyone who may have been at the party, or similar parties, nor anyone who remembers your tendency to throw pies.

[Laminar]

You would have said that no matter what.

[The Final Dakar]

They didnt let the FBI interview Kavanaugh. That's an incredible tell.

[The Final Dakar]

Retired Justice John Paul Dtevens says Kavanaugh isn't qualified to serve (!!)

Sideshow Bob, you were reportedly in the room with Krusty when the pie flinging occurred, and may have assisted in pie flinging. Do you recall such an event happening?

Sideshow Bob: Why no of course not, that would incriminate myself sir!

[The Final Dakar]

Kavanaugh dropped an op-Ed the WSJ yesterday. Feels like damage control this late in the game.

Say what you want about Dem opposition, but if the GOP is having trouble getting the votes the problem isn't partisanism, it's the candidate.

[The Final Dakar]

Murkowski voted no on cloture!

[The Final Dakar]

Collins is yes, and for a lot of imaginary reasons

[andi*pandi]

yup, they're about to pull the football away from her again.

I realize you don't participate any more but the abortion discussion this week clarified my thinking.

ustice Alito, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Thomas, filed a second dissenting opinion, arguing that there is no direct causal link between the Texas law and the closings of abortion clinics, and they may have also been affected by the withdrawal of state funds, declining demand for abortions, and retirements of doctors.

Roberts would have allowed the Texas law the closed over half the clinics (without the surgical center provision ever going to effect). So he might not overturn Roe, but he's ok with adding so much regulatory burden a majority of clinics shut down, greatly reducing access to abortion.

So yes, abortion won't be outlawed, but it'll be difficult to access for all but those in dense population centers ...and the rich.

[The Final Dakar]

WSJ made an sexual assault joke

[turtle777]

Well, this episode is over.

Can’t wait for the next installment of this shitshow, when Ruth BG bites the dust.

The Dems are going to try pulling a Weekend at Bernie’s with her.

Fun times ahead.

[Chongo]

Justice Thomas should swear him in.

[Face Ache]

As an outsider, it seems odd to me that they'd vote a proven liar into the Supreme Court.

Odd, and hilarious.

[Thorzdad]

So, apparently neither Kavenaugh or anyone working for him thought to register brettkavenaugh.com.

I don’t want to blow this off but I’m not comfortable with doing anything beyond acknowledging the clarification.

[Chongo]

Rumors are flying that RBG is stepping down. (or has died)

[Thorzdad]

The rumors were started at the White House and pretty exclusively flying at like-minded sources. Merely wishful thinking at this point.

[andi*pandi]

The woman voted from her hospital bed. Hell no.

[turtle777]

They’re gonna keep her on the SC, Weekend at Bernie’s style.

[Chongo]

Another week missed by RBG.

riiiight.

Although it's common knowledge that newspapers have prewritten obits ready for famous people, and it's likely that the graphics department also keeps some things made ahead of time in their pocket, there's no reason that graphic should have been anywhere near production unless someone put it there on purpose.

Hi chongo!

[The Final Dakar]

Mr. I respect precedent voted to not to stay Louisiana's abortion provider restrictions just months after SCOTUS overturned similar restrictions in a Texas case.

[andi*pandi]

So, another person has come out to accuse Brett "I like Beer" Kavanaugh of indecency. People want him impeached.

[Thorzdad]

That’s even less likely than Individual-1 getting impeached, and I give that next to no chance.
