        Opposition to Kavanaugh grows, support at historic low. Reuters poll has just 31% of US adults in favor of Kavanaugh, fewer than 2/3 of Republicans (64%) https://reut.rs/2xqv3wo

        Notable: Sen. Doug Jones, elected in the midst of the Roy Moore scandal, says the Judiciary Committee should subpoena Mark Judge to testify.https://twitter.com/DougJones/status/1042461456980213760 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        We need to take the time to gather all of the facts around these allegations. That means we need to also hear from Mark Judge. The Judiciary Committee should subpoena him if he refuses to testify. https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1042161552307171329 …

        This is why it is entirely reasonable for Dr. Ford to request time. She's about to come up against a highly sophisticated, very effective machine designed to destroy her credibility. The faster they can make her do it, and the fewer facts available, the harder it will be for her. https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1042452517060259842 …

        Chris Geidner Retweeted Tarini Parti

        Trump sure comes awful close to saying that the allegation against Kavanaugh is made up in that Hill interview. See this thread from @tparti —>https://twitter.com/tparti/status/1042495064222691329?s=21 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Tarini PartiVerified account @tparti
        Trump goes on to compare the allegations against Kavanaugh to the Russia investigation. "This is no different than the Russian witch hunt, what they’ve done is they make up a lot of stuff and try and obstruct and resist."

        One odd point: This letter — from the Senate Judiciary Committee chair to the Dems on the committee — was distributed by the White House, via pool.

        A second point: Grassley focuses on these points about the FBI background investigation process, but never notes whether the White House could ask the FBI to do additional investigation. Bloomberg has reported they can. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-17/white-house-is-said-not-to-ask-fbi-to-vet-kavanaugh-allegations …pic.twitter.com/VENZIbmAEI

        Why doesn’t this address the simple objection that Feinstein could have turned over her letter to the committee staff who can investigate confidentially while honoring her wish not to go public?

        Because Feinstein was justifiably wary of leaks if more folks were aware of the allegations.

        It's amazing how many GOP Senators (Hatch comes to mind) are already convinced Blasey Ford is 'mixed up' without even meeting her. I find this despicable and incredible. None of them would behave this way towards a man making accusations. No wonder women don't report sex crimes!

        Why is nobody reporting on when the 65 women were approached to sign the letter in support of #Kavanaugh? Did the GOP know and keep the letter in reserve in case the accusation became public?

        I realize that Kavanaugh's dangerous drinking and gambling addictions and his insinuations of infidelity will not lose him the powerful Christian Right lobby, but if those problems are not enough to disqualify him from SCOTUS, what about how they leave him wide open to blackmail?
