The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
The statement by Kavanaugh's former Yale classmate, Chad Ludington, crystalizes a big problem for him--his blatant lying under oath about the extent of his drinking and his behavior when drunk. If the GOP insists on pushing him through I expect the Dems to seek to impeach him for perjury if they win the House.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Removing him will be virtually impossible. Also, I'm not sure the Dems want to set that precedent by trying.
Also, it's almost impossible to get someone on perjury for something like this. It's too based in opinion and recollection. Absent a recording of Kavanaugh saying "I gotta keep the committee from finding out about all the times I blacked out drunk", you're not getting him.

I agree that perjury isn’t likely on the table absent a paper trail, but I’m still flabbergasted at the degree of myopia around the fact that my dude lied, fillibustered, and misrepresented his way through that hearing. Apparently no one here who nominally supports him is willing to cop to that.

True, but you're not getting any Senator who sits the fence on a charge that someone says they think Kavanaugh got blackout drunk. You need something more solid.
The Devil's Triangle thing was just dumb. The Dems would be beyond stupid to try to use that as a basis to impeach (which wouldn't succeed). It would create the standard of digging for embarrassing stories from the past of candidates to try to get grounds to impeach in the future.
I legit cannot fathom that there’s any kind of real debate over a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court for a guy who’s willing to lie as obviously, frequently, and transparently as Kavanaugh has...and you can extend that record beyond the recent hearing.

Senator Mazie K. Hirono, a Hawaii Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said on ABC’s “This Week” that any investigation that limits whom the F.B.I. can interview and which leads agents can follow would be a “farce.”
Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat who is also on the committee, described what she said was micromanaging from the White House: “You can’t interview this person, you can’t look at this time period, you can only look at these people from one side of the street from when they were growing up.”

and where have we heard this in the past two days.
Marching orders some would say:
****, I will say --- Trump says jump and his minions say how high.
.............................................
Publicly, though, Mr. Trump directed his ire at Democrats,
accusing them in a tweet on Sunday of playing politics by complaining about
the investigation and saying they would never be satisfied with it.

The hired gun inquisitor says "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring case against Kavanaugh when that is not the threshold of wrongdoing that matters. No reasonable person would vote to confirm Kavanaugh to a lifetime seat on the highest court in the land with this many questions hanging over his credibility.

I thought Chris Dudley could play D...guess not
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
so what's more disqualifying...perjury or witness tampering...tough choices
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
