I wouldn’t underestimate Grassley and McConnell. If they knew any way to get anyone else through before the mid-terms they’d do it, but they’re stuck with Kavanaugh which is, by the way, they’re so pissed at the 11th-hour nature of the accusations being made public.

How quickly does McConnell smash the button to vote? Tomorrow I assume. There is no reason to think that he will be sympathetic at all.

has to pass the committee stil, which as JU states may not be the lock they think it is, but I have faith that they will still be stupid about this

Senator @OrrinHatch asked if Ford has been credible so far:

“It’s too early to make those kinds of determinations, but she’s a good witness. Articulate. She’s an attractive person. But I think it’s a little early to make those kinds of determinations.”

Kate Irby @kateirby
Hatch just called Ford an “attractive witness.” Asked to elaborate what he meant, he said “she’s pleasing.”

A woman just told @LindseyGrahamSC she was raped. He said, as he headed into an elevator, "I'm sorry. Tell the cops."

How much would you wager on this
