BigmanPigman's JournalSen Whitehouse said on CNN that Dems can look into opening an investigation
about Kavanaugh and the lies he has told so far to the Senate Judic. Comm. He said that when Dems are eventually in control they will add this to their list of crimes to investigate. Of course that could be many years from now but they will NOT forget it he said. Rachel Maddow just mentioned this on her show too.
"Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) says that if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed and "as soon as Democrats get gavels," they will "get to the bottom" of the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh."

Dems are looking into filing charges against Kavanaugh
in Maryland since there is no statute of limitations there. Howard Fineman just said this on Hardball.
Michael Moore's new film opens Sept 21st!
Dems are running a lot of anti Kavanaugh ads all over the country
even against GOP reps running in the midterms in local races and state races. They are trying to stir up the women voters especially. I am glad about this since all I have seen are ads on MSNBC that are of women saying how wonderful Kavanaugh is. I was almost ready to complain since I find it offensive but freedom of speech is what it is.
Is tRump going to stop supporting Kavanaugh?
https://www.dailykos.com/story/2018/9/18/1796799/-Ivanka-Advising-Daddy-To-Cut-Bait-On-Kavanaugh-Plus-Trump-Calls-Him-A-Bush-GuyGabriel Sherman, Vanity Fair:
Two sources told me the White House has heard rumors that Fords account will be verified by women who say she told it to them contemporaneously. People worry, without apparent evidence, of another Ronan Farrow bomb dropping. One source says Ivanka Trump has told her father to cut bait and drop Kavanaugh.
Another reason Trump hasnt gone to the mat for Kavanaugh is that hes said to be suspicious of Kavanaughs establishment pedigree. Hes a Bush guy, why would I put myself out there defending him? Trump told people, according to a former White House official briefed on the conversations. Trump also has expressed frustration with White House counsel Don McGahn, who aggressively lobbied for him to choose Kavanaugh, a source said. Trump wants this guy on the court, but Trump knows there are five other people he could put on the court if this falls apart, a former official said.
Even before the Kavanaugh crisis, Trump has been worried about Republicans declining fortunes, and hes been finding ways to shift the blame. Trump told a friend in the Oval Office last week that it would be Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryans fault if Republicans lost the House and the Senate, according to a person familiar with the conversation. This is the election about Ryan and McConnellits about those guys, Trump said. Trump referred to his 2020 campaign as the real election. Its pure Trump. He has to come up with a way hes not responsible if Republicans lose, a former West Wing staffer said.
MSNBC Wash Post reporter is saying that this is very possible from what he has seen and heard.

Don Jr mocks Kavavaugh's victim in Instagram post.

"...Donald Trump Jr. does not know the difference between a child asking another child to be their "girlfriend" and a violent rape attempt is not at all surprising; he has a garbage father who bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women he came into casual contact with, and his whole family is most likely rotten to the core."
This is where the Senators stand on Kavanaugh.
Below is the list of Democrats (and one Republican) who want to delay the vote, the short list of senators who want more information, and the very long list of senators (mostly Republican) who have stayed silent.

*So far, these revelations havent been enough for the Judiciary Committee to postpone its vote. In the wake of the allegations, senators have generally fallen into three camps:
Every Democratic member of the committee has called on the vote to be delayed.
A handful of Republicans, including some on the Judiciary Committee, have said they want to get more information before the Senate Judiciary vote. Some have said they want Ford and Kavanaugh to testify under oath something both have said they are willing to do.
But most Republican members of the committee have stayed silent, neither calling for a delay nor expressing any desire for more information about sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh a man who is being considered for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.
