Republicans were on course to take the judge's high court nomination to the Senate floor as soon as this weekend.
Brett Kavanaugh and Lindsey Graham "doth protest too much."
Shakespeare nailed their kind centuries ago.

I believe both the 6 million Jews and Adolf Hitler. Both were speaking their truth. Their deaths were gut-wrenching and vivid. His testimony was strong & messy. Tie goes to der Führer. -Warren Holstein
Throughout Thursday’s Senate hearing on Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual-misconduct allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, Republicans on the Judiciary Committee claimed that they had tried in vain to secure more information about other accusations made about the judge. “We were moving heaven and earth and even moving the schedule to get to the truth,” Senator Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, said....e-mail correspondence between Ramirez’s legal team and Republican and Democratic Senate staffers shows that a Republican aide declined to proceed with telephone calls and instead repeatedly demanded that Ramirez produce additional evidence in written form. Only then could any conversation about her testimony proceed. The exchange culminated in a breakdown of communication between the two sides, as Republican and Democratic staffers traded accusations of stonewalling.
I just heard Chairman Grassley say that there is nothing that the FBI can find out that “we [on the Committee] can’t find out.”If that’s true the United States has one of the worst intelligence services in the world. No wonder Putin is laughing at us. - Richard W.Painter

GOP Mulls Forcing Christine Blasey Ford To Publicly Apologize To Kavanaugh Just For Hell Of It - The Onion
Twenty years ago this month the Starr Report came out. Let’s review what happened to some of Bill Clinton’s antagonists.
The Sexcessionists
- One of the House leaders, Henry Hyde, was revealed to have had an extramarital affair of his own. He called it a “youthful indiscretion” because he was, at the time, a mere 41 years old.
- House Speaker Newt Gingrich all the while was having an affair with a staffer. (She is now ambassador to the Vatican.) He stepped down as speaker.
- His anointed replacement, Robert Livingston, declined the job when it was disclosed that he too had an extramarital affair.
- Fortunately for the GOP, they settled on another replacement, who served for eight years. That man, Dennis Hastert, later served time in a federal prison for molesting young boys when he was a wrestling coach.
- Independent counsel Ken Starr went on to become president of Baylor University, but had to resign for turning a blind eye to sexual harassment
- But at least one of Starr’s young staff attorneys made good. Brett Kavanaugh is likely to become the next justice of the U.S. Supreme Court--unless, that is, someone discovers that he committed sexual assault or witnessed gang rapes while in high school.
- David Greenberg, Historian

Here come da Judge. Will He Cover For Kavanaugh?
A lawyer for Mark Judge told CNBC that Judge "will answer any and all questions posed to him" by the FBI about serious sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
We have a judge who testified that an FBI investigation into an allegation of sexual assault isn’t necessary. A judge who Republicans nominated to be on the Supreme Court. If you are a woman, or you have a child, or you have a mother, a sister, call your senator today. - Chelsea Handler

Many people are feeling hopeless, want to shut down. Others are angry, but pessimistic. In my eight decades plus, I’ve learned that a big sign times are a-changin’ is this: People are speaking up. And out. A secret held privately is pain. But once spoken aloud, it is power. - George Takei
