Well, that didn't take long.

Quote
Kavanaugh has also begun moving in to his new office at the Supreme Court, taking over space previously used by Justice Samuel Alito, who moved into offices vacated by Kennedy. Kavanaugh has also hired four clerks, all women, the first time that has happened.

The MONSTER! Obviously, he'll be using his position as a Supreme Court justice to molest those poor women. Has he no shame?

Interesting video -- a body language expert commenting or Ford's body language during the hearing.

In addition, Ford's social media accounts were scrubbed before she went public.  I can't think of a reason to do that unless you are trying to hide something.  I guess it could just be keeping personal stuff personal when you know your name is about to become well known, but it adds to the suspicion from other facts.

I don't suppose anything will come of this, but boy do they hate this guy.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/roberts-refers-ethics-complaints-against-kavanaugh-to-federal-judges

Quote
Roberts said in his letter that he was initially notified of complaints against Kavanaugh on Sept. 20. The complaints deal with statements Kavanaugh made during his confirmation hearings and were initially filed with the D.C. Circuit, where Kavanaugh served for 12 years before joining the high court....

Roberts received the first three of 15 eventual complaints a week before Kavanaugh's angry denial of a sexual assault allegation by Christine Blasey Ford...

It's possible the complaints will never be investigated if the lower-court judges determine they have no jurisdiction over a Supreme Court justice under the judiciary's ethics rules.

Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the D.C. Circuit, typically deals with ethics complaints, but he apparently stepped aside from complaints against Kavanaugh. Garland had been nominated to the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama, but Senate Republicans never acted on the nomination.

Roberts' letter was sent to Judge Timothy Tymkovich, the 10th Circuit's chief judge. Tymkovich was on President Donald Trump's list of possible Supreme Court nominees.

Democrats are in a trick bag...

Grassley and McConnell want to keep the Senate in session to finish the confirmation votes on 49 judegships.  However, the D's long ago decided to follow the rules precisely for voting (There are time requirements, like with Kavanaugh, the 30 hours from being voted out of committee until you can vote on the nomination and other rules like that.)

However, there are many D's that need to get back to their home states and campaign to save their jobs.

So Schumer needs to make a deal with McConnell, as the judges will eventually be confirmed, whether D's stay or go home, or dig in their heels to fight losing confirmation battles, and lose even more seats as vulnerable D senator can't do shake and grins to try to win re-election. 

It's a lose-lose prospect for the D's.

This needs to be repeated after he made the deal with D's to confirm 15 more judges by unanimous consent (Harumph, Harumph !!) so they could go home and try to save their phony-baloney jobs...

More post-Kavanaugh. Bravo Zulu to Bill Cassidy for his response:

I continue to be amazed that some in the GOP have now grown a pair and don't attempt to placate these idiots.

Just as a (hopefully) entertaining coda to the confirmation saga, I work with a guy who's neither Republican or Democrat, but is a member of the Conspiracy Party. He thinks the whole circus was meant to distract from some deeper, darker secret about Kavanaugh. I don't know why he thought that pouring all that extra attention on Kavanaugh would help hide anything, but that's what he kept saying.

Round two here we go...this time it is for Ford's lawyers: https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2018/10/19/whoa-judicial-watch-files-complaint-against-christine-blasey-fords-lawyers-for-violating-the-rules-of-professional-responsibility/

I continue to find that interesting. Much as I would like to see her lawyers take some heat, was Ford confined to solitary or something during all this? Because otherwise how could she NOT know that a visit to California was offered?

So she perjured herself when she stated that she didn't know of the offer?

I agree with Ben. The multiple offers to have Senate staffers go to her were in all the news media. We all knew about it -- IMHO it's inconceivable that she didn't know about it.
