| Senate Democrats did all they could |
. . . "If Kavanaugh committed perjury, Democrats warn, they’ll investigate. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who would be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee if Democrats control the House, told ABC News on Sunday that the lower chamber would likely investigate.
"If he is on the Supreme Court, and the Senate hasn't investigated, then the House will have to," said Nadler. "We would have to investigate any credible allegations of perjury and other things that haven't been properly looked into before."
The current FBI investigation, which is set to last one week, so far does not include interviews with the former classmates who have disputed Kavanaugh's testimony about his partying, according to the New York Times.
. . .
"Krishnamoorthi added that Kavanaugh’s testimony was “one of the most partisan appearances by a federal judge.”
"If Democrats decide not to pursue an investigation on the allegations against Kavanaugh, they appear ready to investigate his fitness. After watching Kavanaugh raise his voice, accuse the Clintons of revenge, and ask Democratic senators if they like beer or have blacked out, a number of Democrats don’t think he has the disposition to serve on the Supreme Court for life.
"Kavanaugh’s performance before the Judiciary Committee, said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., “raises very difficult question about his temperament and fitness for office.”
“We saw an entitled, defensive, angry, partisan, paranoid, angry guy. It was very unnerving just to watch it. And you want to put him on the court for life?
"Whether Kavanaugh is confirmed or not, Connelly said, his qualifications and fitness to be a federal judge “are worthy of further examination.' ” . . .
Georgetown Professor: White GOP Senators In Kavanaugh Hearing “Deserve Miserable Deaths,” Have Corpses “Castrated”… . . . "Georgetown University Distinguished Associate Professor Christine Fair tweeted that white Republican senators in the Brett Kavanaugh hearing deserve to die.
“ 'Look at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” Fair tweeted on Thursday. Referencing a video of “Lindsey Graham’s tirade,” Fair, who is a victim of sexual assault, added, “all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.”
“Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes,” she concluded the tweet.
That isn't the first time Fair's left the rails of civil discourse.
. . . "In January 2017, Fair was involved in a Twitter dispute with Asra Q. Nomani. In response to Nomani's tweet that as a Muslim, she voted for President Trump, Fair tweeted that she had "written [Nomani] off as a human being" and that Nomani had "pimped herself out to all media outlets." Nomani responded by filing a complaint with Georgetown University, Fair's employer, alleging discrimination and harassment.[20]

"In May 2017, Fair began an altercation with white nationalist Richard B. Spencer at a gym in Alexandria, Virginia. While the two were working out, Fair approached Spencer and accused him of being a Nazi, along with a number of other accusations, leading a third gym patron to intervene on behalf of him. This incident resulted in Spencer's membership being terminated by the manager of the gym.[21]
"In January 2018, Fair was involved in an incident at Frankfurt Airport. When her bag was flagged for possibly containing explosives, it was searched and German Federal Police instructed Fair that she would have to dispose of a liquid deodorant or transfer it to her checked bag. German police stated that Fair was uncooperative, as she accused them of sexism, of being Nazis and thugs, and directed expletives at them. Fair was charged with slander under Germany's defamation law. She subsequently published an article on HuffPost partially rejecting the police account of the incident." . . .
This is a real sign that the lady is way out there. "Georgetown prof who harassed pro-Trump colleague brags about harassing alt-right leader at the gym"
- First, I want to note that this man is a supreme coward. When I approached this flaccid, sorry excuse of a man and asked ‘Are you Richard Spencer,“ this pendulous poltroon said “No. I am not.” But of course he was. …
- As a white woman, I find his membership at this gym to be unacceptable. I found his membership at this gym to be an unfair burden upon the women and people of color–and white male allies of the same. I also loudly identified him as a neo-Nazi who has said, inter alia, the below detailed things. . . .
What on earth do her students turn out to be like?
