A travesty. This Republican Congress is doing damage to our democracy in deference to the demagogue in the Oval Office. shame

What's the hurry he's looking like he's a mini Trump we don't need people like that in our Supreme Court. He's no jem. More like a lump of coal.

REALLLLLLY Seems like they have listened to all the testimony available... oh wait, that part didnt happen yet.

I hope that smirk turns to a scowl, when he fails

About time!! BelieveEvidence DueProcess

Because you have to give three day notice. You can cancel the vote anytime. You people love your misleading headlines.

RosieBarton Justin Trudeau on his groping allegation: “ I do not feel that I acted inappropriately in any way. But I respect the fact that someone else might have experienced that differently.” Is anyone shocked? MeToo⁠ ⁠ cndpoli 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 OhCanada Canada 🤔

Really Really REALLY? Kavanaugh is as creepy as this sick judiciary Committee. Bias, not governing, not even using common sense. You all dug a hole, now go hide in it, PLEASE!

Basta

mofos already made their mind. I hope women and decent people in general will go in masses 2vote. We won't b able to undo this, but no +

👏👏👏

Sounds like a perfect plan to me! 👍🏼👏🏼😃

melodijoy She will no risks throwing a congressional political machine on top of her and putting up a ton of pressure for herself and her family. The president and Republican congressmen are trying to undermine the truth and make way for their profitable interest in the Supreme Court.

Meaning? They already are set to vote. They're just making it publicly appealing. VoteBlue

Again, McConnell is flexing his muscle and at the same time reminding us just how little he cares about decorum or rules or decency.

Nothing wrong with that

The republicans just gave survivors of sexual assault a big middle finger. Bye Bye republicans. NOV 6 is just around the corner!!!!!

Hey old white man ChuckGrassley , you make a joke out of the name “judiciary committee” ...but I guess, you don’t care. Guess what? Voters will!!! makethempay

They’re fucking over women’s rights by putting him on the bench. He has experience in denigrating women. Should do a great job for the GOP. 😩

WajahatAli In other words, this hearing process is a sham and a rubber stamp on a forgone conclusion. This is not what democracy looks like. Folks need to pick a side. Not of a party or ideology. But of democracy itself.

Vote him in. Should have happen last week

Good.

As they should. Can't have a small group of people continuously showing fake outrage every time they don't like some candidate for anything, and shutdown the all democratic process. Learn to live in democracy.

Good!

Repubs just tapdancing this whole thing

Because in the end, it doesn't matter to them if he did in fact try to rape her. To them that's just what boys and men do so it's ok. The GOP is a diseased festering boil on the butt crack of America.

Are they adopting the state TV motto, "Fair And Balanced?"

The hearing is a joke. GOP are going to confirm Kavanaugh no matter what he did. So let's make Them pay for it with their jobs vote blue.

sham GOP

Should vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh immediately. ConfirmKavanaughNow

That's because Republicans already have their minds made up.

Never vote Republican. ChuckGrassley SenTedCruz SenDeanHeller LindseyGrahamSC SenThomTillis SenatorCollins lisamurkowski VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueAndBringAFriend

Kindhearted2015 Damn right.

It won't happen. Kavanaugh nomination gets pulled 9/26/2018.

Karma will win in the end. Crap on this justice of not listening and plowing through. Very dissatisfied with you all.

Vote no to an alcoholic, sex predator

They do not have the votes 🤔. They want fast vote so Murkowski doesn’t change her mind or Collins, Flake or Corker... Keep your eye on Manchin (D) and Gillibrand (D) i do not trust these two Dems

Good it’s time to vote

They came, They listened, They ignored, Then they confirmed him anyway. Because they only care about stacking the court. They have no honor, No decency, No integrity. Only ambition and greed. They don't get it. Karma is a sonofabitch.

Of course it's going to be held on Friday. He BrettKavanaugh could have 1000 accusers, caught on video, and caught in the act and the GOP would still vote him in.

RealTT2020 Onward

Why bother with the phony sham hearing? Oh yeah, so Senators can play to their base on TV.

Boring Alert Boring Alert!

ConfirmKavanaughNow

Thank you.

Ditch him.

WajahatAli Just no.

RealTT2020 You know what’s so frustrating and hilarious to me...people actually think and believe that the liberal democRat holds the moral high ground when in actuality there’s no difference between the women testifying against justice Kavanaugh and the liberal democrat politician.

IStandwithKavanaugh

Gee. I wonder if they are going to give any thought at all to the accuser before forcing him through the door. Can’t wait to have a conservative court until I’m 65

One day? They don’t want the truth to sink in.

WajahatAli Outrageous 😡

RealTT2020 She won't show.

.SenateGOP SenateDems, TIME FOR ALL PATRIOTS TO STAND, DoTheRightThing FOR COUNTRY! ChuckGrassley senjudiciary KavanaughHearing is afront to justice. There's NO JUSTIFICATION FOR OMITTING ANY OF Kavanaugh DOCS, PERJURY OR REFUSING FBI INVESTIGATION. StopKavanaugh

Republicans don’t even bother to pretend to concern for the rule of law or respect for the Constitution.

good

You do know it is because of the senate rules, right?

God I’d like to smack that smirk off his face.

Looks like we’re now going to lose faith in the Supreme Court. Great.

Just outraged!

They should vote for him on Thursday right after the hearings .

Good

Let's do this!!!! Conservatives2018

This work need to make for America. Kavanaugh nomination.

lisamurkowski Since the GOP is hell bent on rushing this through, I seriously hope you do not vote in favor of Kavanaugh. To do so is turning your back on all sexual assault victims.

Yep. Hurry up before more women come forward. Unreal 🙄

VOTE THE MAN IN😁😁

One. Fucking. Day.

Face the facts, with or without accusations, GOP’s Senate will eventually confirm the second misogynist justice to the “supreme” court.

The show goes on .. sex crime overlooked. There shouldn't be a vote after that but it is. Sad injustice Trump counting on him to win so he gets off from being investigated and impeached .. Same subject matter Sex assault Cosby goes down but Harvey no

This is a sham and total disgrace for our country. It is a dark moment and all women have long memories.

Well, that should be enough time to briefly discuss a lifetime job for Kavanaugh. Perhaps some ppl have already made up their minds? Hmmm

The sooner, the better!

bobbydtv Well why even meet with the accuser?. This committee is full of shit!! Time to fucken wake up America.

Kavanaugh, like Trump, is the product of a patriarchal, misogynistic, elitist subculture in our society. We have every right and responsibility to reject him and ALL those that support him.

The only sane thing reported on this dog and pony show

Fuckheads

GREAT!!! ConfirmJudgeKavanaugh!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As they should. No more game playing!! This man & his family have been through enough!!

He deserves his right to election, Both accusers are really in slander mode

The Republicans saying Brett hasn’t be been found guilty must have the same opinion about Hilary as well.

Let's hope some Republicans see sense and vote against him. Hope they realize he could be impeached.

And before u say the gop r bastards ...better look at the other party

Its all hearsay ...doesnt mean squat...

Disgusting

Excellent!!! Dont back off no matter what bullshit the Democrats pull tomorrow or the next day

Who the rapiest?

If these chicken shit old white bastards on the Senate Judiciary Committee get to choose an outside lawyer to ask Dr. Ford questions, I want to introduce Brett Kavanaugh to a friend of mine for a special interview process. “Stuck in the middle with you...”

And will be voted through. Regardless. 😞

ConfirmKavanaugh

JonLemire ReprehensibleRepublicans play dirty to win. I hope they meet their fate come November. I never supported their un-American version of America.

unite_free Then the accuser backed out again.

What is incorrect about that?

1a Verified sexual harassers 2, old white guys who don't get it,11. Chuck Grassley, you are unfit to serve!

JimmyA_Shook1s They are shameless pimps

LizKotalik Lots of triggered people here...

This is truly disgusting. vote these immoral and ignorant beasts out.

About 8 days late

Finally!!

Sounds like the hearing is just a technicality to go through.

Storm the streets Resistance

Welp...looks like some people never cared about these hearings ever, huh SenateGOP

The fix is in

1a Which basically translates to the republicans not caring what Dr Ford has to say. My guess is no matter what Kavanaugh will be approved and this whole event will slowly evaporate into history.

How utterly disgusting and completely shameful. It's pretty clear the old white guys on the Senate Judiciary Committee couldn't care less about Dr. Ford's testimony. They only want their guy to get confirmed. This makes me sick to my stomach.

Four days later than it should have happened

Okay you vote him in, but he is polling SO LOW that this might be your last vote.

Sickening!

Blazingcatfur SHE IS NOT SHOWING UP. SHE IS NOT SHOWING UP. SHE IS NOT SHOWING UP. SHE IS NOT SHOWING UP.

Talk to me when the Hypocritical Democrats demand an FBI investigation into Abuse against a former Girlfriend and ex-wife, who both have actual evidence against Democrat Rep. & 2nd in command of the DNC, Keith Ellison.

🤬

The majority doesn’t schedule a vote in a situation like this unless they know they have the votes. So the Thursday hearing is a charade.

JeffFlake SenatorCollins lisamurkowski Don’t be RepublicansWhoHateWomen

American politics is a joke.

The Democrat Party is slowly committing suicide and it can't come soon enough for me. There is no presumption of innocence anymore? Really? That's the left's new center. Can't wait till their Nov. dreams are dashed.

And they call themselves religious? What religion condones this behavior?

3 RINO U.S. Senators hold the Future of The United States of America in their hands. 1) Lisa Murkowski - RINO - Alaska lisamurkowski 2) Jeffry Flake - RINO - Arizona JeffFlake 3) Susan Collins - RINO - Maine SenatorCollins May Their Feet BURN !!!!

Why not just vote now?! 😂😩 Clearly, their minds are made up.

Finally

Sham

Gotta get everyone on board before they miss this opportunity to get away with everything

amandablount2

Criminal charges need to be filed!!!!!!!!

There isn’t a predator the GOP won’t stand beside.

Thank you!

Dear liberals and liberal media like the AP, where's your outrage over this: You have nothing to say because the Rep. is black and he's a democrat. YOU HAVE A DOUBLE STANDARD.

Party of Rapists

GOP = SEXUAL PREDATORS AND PREDATOR ENABLERS !!!

Nice 👏

This Kavanaugh is a No Vote.

SuzanneTignor Really? one day, was all they figured they had to delay to "look good"? surprised they cared enough to wait that long. Sure they were itching to vote right after the hearing. doesn't matter what she says. Kavanaugh will help secure the absolute GOP rule.

He'll be confirmed.

How dare they. Time to have that investigation impeach him

I hope Friday is a day that we can see a new judge and then look at Democrats and say suck it

Yes, try and push it through, like u try everything else. Sad.

ConfirmBrettKavanaughNow

They are being pushed by Trump.

Ms Ford I think is a nutjob.

1a Just the fact that this guy was DKE should disqualify him. Every DKE I’ve known was an absolute dick.

Vote them out!

Is is time to (peacefully) storm the Capitol?

Meanwhile Cosby gets life

Just another sign of how “seriously” they are taking these allegations 🙄

Proof that they are taking none of this seriously. I hope the third witness that comes forward blows this right out of the water!!!

What?

Pathetic and disgusting.

Hahaha what a joke!!

This smug motherf*****!

I'm disappointed in these senators. I know several republican women who have said they are done with the GOP if they confirm Kavanaugh.

VoteNOKavanaugh

ChuckGrassley you guys are sad,why the rush you republicans scared another accuser coming out LindseyGrahamSC JohnCornyn SenatorCollins lisamurkowski OrrinHatch SenateMajLdr BenSasse tedcruz you republicans should be ASHAMED of yourself kavanaugh so called nominee

What is the point of the hearing? It's BS. They already have their minds made up before even hearing what Ford has to say.

His assertion that a virgin could not commit sexual assault and/or him believing citizens would somehow accept that should automatically disqualify him as a Supreme Court Judge on the grounds of flagrant stupidity.

GOP Dismissing Dr Ford ahead of tomorrow’s testimony. Deplorable.

The Senate Judiciary Committee really doesn’t get it, do they? They’ve basically told sexual assault survivors and women that they don’t give a rats ass about them.

Disgusting. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Why do any women vote Republican again?

The GOP had its mind made up from the get-go

Manafort & Cohen pled guilty & are cooperating, why hasn't Mueller dropped a little bomb to throw this Kavanaugh shit show off the rails? Kavanaugh was unacceptable before we heard of ProfessorFord.

Great. We are sick of this political hit job.

They elected this man

Why aren’t msnbc cnn reporting this?

If Democrats can turn a blind eye to Bill Clinton rapes after decades, these unproven smears on Kavanaugh shouldn’t get in the way.

Rigged process.

Good!!!!!!!

Good to see the GOP are taking the process seriously and not rushing to cram the nomination through come hell or high water whatever may be disclosed on Thursday.

Finding the truth has never been a GOP value.

Its sad when the majority believe the corruption in the senate outweighs justice & expect theyll find a way to justify accepting Kavanaugh. If there was any moral fibre left in DC then theyd think of the public...but they dont. America where have you gone?

Thanks Lisa & Susan, you signaled the turtle they have the votes. wewillneverforget WeWillRememberComeNovember Votethesexistsout BelieveHer WhitePrivilege

she'll make claims and accusations and no evidence is available. "THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE MORE! GET EVERYONE IN ON IT!" ...to stall this long enough so when (and if) the Blue Wave comes they can shut him out regardless. and then the accusations will be forgotten.

They've already decided that Thursday's testimony from Prof. Ford will be moot and they are moving forward w/ a vote. Anything to get him in before Election Day. This is outrageous.

Objectionable. Revulsive. Unconscionable. Retrogressive. Abusive to all human species. It is a spell of death to survivors & a life jacket to assaulters.

Gross

Proving once more that the GOP doesn't care if women get sexually assaulted or raped. Maybe all these little pricks would feel more comfortable living in a country like Saudi Arabia. By all means, GTFO.

Unless there is proof of wrong doing, he should be confirmed. PROOF!

ConfirmKavanaughNow

RAM IT THROUGH. That's what's she said.

RosieBarton Definitive evidence that McConnell and Grassley have a political IQ equivalent to their age!

And on Monday we will proceed with Scotus impeachment!

WXXINews Disgusted that GOP couldn’t care less if the accusations are true. There are plenty of other choices for Supreme Court. Instead they are happy to drag the Supreme Court down. SenateGOP It’s one more reason why this Republican will voteblue in all races - local and otherwise.

Looks like they are looking to get their asses kicked come November.

oufenix Rush rush rush, gotta cram in their justices before midterms.

StarTribune The pig isn’t fit for Supreme Court!!!!

PaulStewartII They’re running scared! StopKavanagh

Great!

The Plow King Commercial PlowRightThrough

‘SenatorCollins lisamurkowski Will you please vote as WOMEN on this?! It’s not okay for this administration to denigrate the lived experience of every one of the millions of woman who have experienced something like this. An INVESTIGATION is fair. This is awful.

In other words, her testimony means nothing to them.

CritchlowPaul Ha ha sorry sorts.

I am sure that if they confirmed Brett Kavanaugh it will backfires on them.

People don’t understand. Any man can be accused of ANYTHING and you are automatically guilty even though you may be innocent.

WPSU They really do not care about women . At all Ever

Why not the day before? Hell, why not tonight? Why bother with a hearing at all? Just pop women D's at SCOTUS and jam in your boys before the midterms. There you go.

If you don’t vote Friday kiss November goodbye!

Why are liberals acting as if he was found guilty? Or is someone automatically guilty when I hate him? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Hate blinds objectivity.

Sounds like their minds are made up

Hahahaha

Good

If the democrats ever become a super majority it is their obligation to Americans to remove this man from his seat.

Awesome!

This is sickening. They have no intention of listening to this woman. In fact, they are disrespecting ALL WOMEN. TimesUp NeverGOP

And Rosenstein will be sacked, the Mueller probe ended and buried. The coup will be complete, and we let it happen. What a sad time for what used to be a pretty great nation.

4ffe71daa20b471 Without adjudicating other complaints. U eah, they want to get to the bottom of it. 🤦‍♀️

FemaleAssistant

The people demand GOP SenateMajLdr SenateGOP get FBI investigate all the claims prior to ANY votes!!! 🤬 This is unconscionable to vote for an accused rapist so he can sit for a LIFETIME job!!! KavanaughLies InvestigateKavanaughNOW

Just proof they couldn't careless what the proof is, There could be video of him doing it and they'd still rush to confirm him.

vote no

What about the other women?

This is required if committee wants to retain the option because the rules require 3 days notice for a vote. It could slide if Thursday hearing goes as expected (badly bigly) for Kavanaugh

samcifer1 He has a really punchable face, just saying.

Oh no, the Democrats won't be able to get another freshly manufactured "victim" out of the factory on that timetable

Good

The Rs game of deceit have come to bite them in the ass,your alter boys deceit has shown its face

Mitch knows he doesn’t have the votes and is playing poker. When BlackoutBrett is goes up for a floor vote and he loses Dumbbell will think he has lassoed a winner to drag him base out in a rage. Good luck with that one. Wrong rope metaphor-Kavanaugh is a noose

WPSU This CANNOT HAPPEN.

He WILL be Confirmed.. I have no doubt about that ConfirmKavanaughNow

You'd almost think their minds were already made up.

So the GOP has basically already made up it's mind.... If they vote this man to the Supreme Court they will lose not only the House, but the Senate as well and American women will DEMAND his impeachment along with Trump's.

If the men of the GOP are not capable of questioning Dr Ford, what the hell are they doing on the committee? It’s their job.

4chan is more credible than the accusers

I hope that any senator who does not confirm Kavanaugh is voted OUT of Office CONFIRM KAVANAUGH NOW!

Kavanaugh is NOT Supreme Court material. He must go!

Hey GOP

This will be a farce. Why not take a vote after she walks out?

Great news!!

Will the woman attorney, expert on sexual assault, “assist” Republican Senators in questioning Kavanaugh?

😁👍 MAGA 🇺🇸

prayforkavenaugh

Why the rush? Is that hearing and reflecting? Is that investigating and taking the victim’s testimony seriously? Other victims need 2 step up. It is time before there is no more time and Justice will not be well served. People listen to a man denying but not a woman accusing.

Not even a day

Any Senator who Votes Yes on KavaNOPE MUST LOSE His/Her SEAT Otherwise America will be laughed at as happened to trump today If we don't Fight for the Rights of our Daughters, we don't deserve Respect Dr FORD must be Respected 100% by everybody We must thank her for her Courage

This is all that our terrible Trump ever wanted. A get out of jail free SCOTUS.

KMJNOW The accuser most likely will back out. She intentionally protected herself from prosecution because perjury is a crime.

CONFIRM KAVANAUGH

What that means is they aren’t really listening to her anyways. They are going to let her say what she has to say and move right on along.

Don't forget it is actually TWO votes . . . first the Judiciary Committee vote followed by the full Senate . . . if Collins and Murkowski vote no, only one other Republican needs to flip . . . this assuming all the Democrats stand together.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse.

Why waste the victim time?
