OK, what does this actually mean though.
They had to sideline the outside prosecutor they selected, because Kav almost immediately put her in the position of being professionally required to point out that he lied.
That's what I thought it meant but I'm on a lot of cold medicine this morning.

I just don't get the political calculus of the general attitude of the country right now vs. party line votes, especially for the people who want to go Presidential.

Maybe a delay in the vote? Wants to call more witnesses?

Everyone is in the anteroom. No one is left in the chamber. Ten minutes past scheduled vote time.

most of the allegations aren't credible in the slightest,
not according to the POTUS
belief of guilt based on accusation alone is morally repugnant
correct, fortunately that isn't the case here
, and political showmanship and gamesmanship are rife in both parties.
correct, and far worse by the GOP
Have a good day, angry white males.

can a supreme court justice be impeached?
thinking that after this vote passes and women / individuals with self-respect who may have voted republican previously either don't vote or vote democrat in the midterms and the Dems take both houses maybe they do a 2-for-1 and take down Trump for treason and Kavanaugh for perjure

No that very much constitutes a "shred", and that's being charitable.
Let's not forget that he was also alive at the time the crime allegedly occurred, so that's some more proof right there.
Although we're apparently not even sure about the when.

So does McConnell honor this last minute deal? If not, does Jeff Flake have the gumption to oh never mind.

Fortunately, best friend of the nominee Mark Judge wrote a book about it all
Wasted describes in detail the author's secondary education memories, particularly those involving heavy alcohol usage by his peers and himself at Georgetown Preparatory School.[2][6][27] The author writes that the social environment of his peers at the school was, "positively swimming in alcohol".[10][9][11] Judge recounts a hookup culture involving binge drinking, especially during a period of time at the school known as "Beach Week".[6][7][8] Judge defined "Beach Week" at Georgetown Preparatory School as a "week-long bacchanalia of drinking and sex, or at least attempts at sex".[8][28][29] The author discusses a phrase, "100 Kegs Or Bust", in relation to excessive alcohol drinking during his times at Georgetown Preparartory School.[30][27][31] Judge remembers a student he refers to as Bart O'Kavanaugh who passed out and threw up in a car.[32][33][34] The author recounts going to drink alcohol with his friends at bars for many evenings in a row.[2] He presents in-depth memories of orgies and attempts to have sex fueled with alcohol at residences along the beach shoreline.[2][35]

"I have no basis for this claim I'm about to make, but I'm going to make it anyway."
It was long ago read it in the movements of interstellar bodies, by those seeking such universal truths as can only be found when living by the one true celestial calendar and using both stars and nonsense to seek out those qualities that make us all unique.
If I'm picking up what you're laying down here, the joke is most definitely not on me.
Yeah but only like 4 people know that! You play a dangerous game when you engage in archival copypaste
I am fine with this, and will continue to risk being misunderstood - pilloried even! - in the name of decent posting.
