Only if the GOP caves.

Not trying to equate them, but we ought to remember this -- The most perfect man in the world was CRUCIFIED.

Murkowski isn't going to vote for him and my hunch is Collins won't either.

Yes, but Akin, O'Donnell, Angle, and Moore will.

If more Pubs would speak to this travesty then the pressure on Flake, Collins and Murkowski could shift to voting for Kavanaugh. Maybe a few Dems, too.

Graham and Hatch have called this freak show what it is. Anyone else?

Collins made a statement today that she does not believe he's going to overturn Roe v. Wade.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/408164-collins-i-dont-believe-kavanaugh-will-repeal-roe-v-wade

Almost certain she's a vote for confirmation.  Maybe not Murkowski, but I don't see her as willing to be the lone GOP "no" vote.  Flake as well.

It gets really difficult to vote no based on these allegations where every single witness named by Ford herself fails to support her account.  It begs the question of when you'd ever believe a man, and while that may be okay among the mutants who make up the Democratic Party, that will not be tolerated by many Republicans.

If he is not guilty why the denial?

Brett Kavanaugh sent a defiant letter Monday [...] As I told the Committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure. That is the kind of judge I will always be.”

I will admit that I did not hold Kavanaugh in all that high of esteem...

But now... I can see that it is in his character, that when he believes he is right, he is
IMMOVABLE.
I like that.

@rustynail

Well that’s a ridiculous question...but the answer is:   Because this is not a legal battle.  This a public relations battle. And especially with so many already presuming guilt, silence would be construed (AND PORTRAYED) as an admission of guilt.

His letter was wonderful. I am so proud of his courage and conviction and willingness to carry on despite the heinous smears against him.

In the car today I flipped the radio to CNN to hear what the enemy was saying and they are smearing him for going on Fox tonight to defend himself. Juan Williams smeared him for this as well today and he was called on it.

The letter is good, and I suspect he'll repeat much of the same in his appearance before the Senate panel on Thursday.

But... he's going to have to show some emotion, as well.
He better not be "too dry" in his presentation.
Not too "lawyerly".
He must come across as a man whose dignity has been subjected to a vicious and unjustified attack.

It was Clarence Thomas' righteous indignation that won the battle for him back in 1991.

Justice Thomas ought to call Judge Kavanaugh before Thursday and offer some advice and counselin' ...!
