Four witnesses and a nail salon

The political activist who accuses Kavanaugh of harassment in High School (emphasis on "high") in the last hour to derail his appointment to the Supreme Court listed four witnesses beside herself. All four have written letters denying knowing anything about what Ford is talking about. The letters are accepted and they stand as sworn testimony.

1) Mrs. Leland Ingham Keyser: "“Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.”"

2) Mark Judge: “I have no memory of this alleged incident,”

3) Patrick J. Smyth: "I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post. I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.

Personally speaking, I have known Brett Kavanaugh since high school and I know him to be a person of great integrity, a great friend, and I have never witnessed any improper conduct by Brett Kavanaugh towards women. To safeguard my own privacy and anonymity, I respectfully request that the Committee accept this statement in response to any inquiry the Committee may have.”

4) Kavanaugh himself denies any such incident

The party that nobody remembers was at no one's house.

In short, the woman is lying.

News consumers have had it up to their eyeballs with Democrat nonsense. Oddly, although impatient, Republican observers are not all that disturbed by McConnell allowing more time. That's because the longer this goes on the worse Democrats make things for themselves working up to the mid-term elections. The adage; when your opponent is digging a hole, hand him a shovel, comes to mind.


Here is a link to a Twitter thread. It's a story about a trip to a nail salon. It was crowded, and unusually people were talking openly rather than quietly to their technician. Eventually the whole place turned into an open public discussion that continued as people were leaving and new people entered. And it is not a discussion that any Democrat would be pleased to hear.

Here's a tidbit that nails it. Mrs. Leland Ingham Keyser is the former Mrs Bob Beckel.

So it looks like what was supposed to be a clever little filibuster by the Demos was really a stall by the Rs to make sure they were armed and ready when Dr I Can't Remember came to town.

It also explains McConnell's confidence that Brother Bret would be on the Court.

PS Is it me or does all of this have the feel of the God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne?

I'm motivated by the Democrat's casual desire to throw away the 5th and 6th Amendments. I realize that is nothing new, hence Jonah Goldberg's suggestion that the clown Senator from Hawaii needs to read "To Kill a Mockingbird". When even Jonah is coming to the defense of a conservative these days, then Democrats are overplaying their hand.

The Dems are stepping on their dicks which is ironic or transphobic.

I agree, Chip, this is not to the Dems' advantage. But they can't stop it now, even if they wanted to. It reminds me of the filibuster of Gorsuch. They knew it was a bad move, but they had no alternative. Their constituencies were SCREAMING at them to do it. They were between the devil and the deep blue sea. Same thing now. Republicans should be patient, don't worry about the Supreme Court. If the seat stays vacant through election day, that maximizes GOP turnout. That puts more Senatecseats in play, and could save the House (if it was otherwise going the other way. Who really knows?)
