Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.

Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

    Where to start with your errors. The media harassed local law enforcement about why they weren't investigating this shocking crime. Their response? Based on what she claimed it was at worst a misdemeanor with a one year Statute pf Limitations. Worst case. Assuming it happened and assuming she identified the right target. Both of those assumptions are highly improbable.

    Listen to her claim again. At some point in the 1980s, she isn't even sure of the year, she was at a party. She isn't sure how she got there, she isn't sure how she left, she isn't sure where it was at. She said she was there with varying numbers of people in different versions but all of them are either certain the party didn't happen at all, uncertain of the events and / or certain they never met Kavanaugh before. She does admit to screwing sixty plus people in high school and college, her yearbooks say she was a party girl. But because of one half remembered grope she is scarred for life? But despite the trauma, "she was almost killed!" ya know, she never told anyone, never filed a police report, nothing.

    Now lets consider that she paid to have per online trail professionally scrubbed before her name dropped in the media and /pol/ could save any of it. But from her appearing in other people's photos we can be pretty sure she was in the "Women's March" and thus a political activist. And the friend who just happens to be ex-FBI and connected to the deep state as I already mentioned. Her father is CIA, many think she is as well, grampa got an award for his own CIA service. A brother has connections to Perkins-Coie. She has a paper published on the subject of creating false memories.

    And you believe that she is the victim here. Or you expect me to believe you do. Premise rejected.

    From what I read she did tell numerous people, even decades ago.

    Liar. There's a special place in hell for partisan hacks like yourself.

    Based on the situation, the police in Maryland concluded that it was potentially attempted rape which has no statute of limitations. But, they can't make a final determination without her filing a report and digging into it.
