In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the ABA, said going ahead with the nomination process without further investigation could hurt both the reputation of the Senate and the Supreme Court.

This is the only way to have a fair hearing. Delay the vote. All victims of violence are watching. They remember. We will all remember in a November. Do the right thing. SenatorCollins lisamurkowski SenatorHeitkamp JeffFlake Sen_JoeManchin

Well that ain't happening.

AlephsMom But, apparently, no Republicans on the Hill care one bit.

Good.

He is not forthcoming. Perhaps just me, but failure to provide a direct answer to a direct question cuts credibility to zero. During both rounds, his responses evaded direct questions. How hard is it, if there is nothing to hide, to answer Why ....? How hard?

The Republicans have called the sexual aggression reports a smear. Will they say the ABA is part of that campaign and force the nomination through? This is a dangerous tact. For the supreme court we need truth before politics.

No more delays! I have never seen such a low point in the American democratic process until yesterday. What are they going to look for? Proof of his virginity? The issue was did he attack her at a party? She gave names of people there. They said it never happened! End of story!

JeffFlake ChuckGrassley SenatorCollins SenAlexander lisamurkowski senorrinhatch SenBobCorker Does this matter to you? It should!

He lied. He lied about "Boofing", "Devil's Triangle", the legal drinking age, and most likely the sexual assault. He's a liar. And a judge.

Job interviews often have follow up investigations.

“Deciding to proceed without conducting additional investigation would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate's reputation” -Wait, the US Senate has a reputation? If so, it’s not a very good one.

Any Senator who supports proceeding with this vote without waiting for an FBI investigation should be kicked out of the ABA.

If this information was being held for a month why didn’t the Dems ask for an investigation then?

If he is confirmed today, he will always been seen as partisan and unable to sit in impartial judgement. He will undermine the highest court in our country.

Finally, something about our legal system I can agree with.

Wasn’t an FBI invention done several 6 times? Why wasn’t this accusation investigated in August?

Great! An institution still concerned with the rule of law.

At his hearing,ABA representatives presented report on what they described as an extensive polling of members who all spoke very highly of Kavanaugh.Don’t they realize we care,therefore we watched the hearings.FBI investigation?Don’t you believe 1st 6 FBI reports or your members?

Kav has already had 6 FBI investigations & again questioned over unfounded allegations right before the vote. Since when does the FBI go back 37 years to a teen party who has no witnesses, no time, no date, nothing except a paid democ already caught lying under oath today? Scam!

Let them want in one hand and sht in the other. VOTE HIM IN NOW.

No way

About time we heard from you ABAesq .

Bull

He drank beer... college guys do (I did) He made stupid Jokes... (I did) He went to parties... (I did) He also got into Yale then Yale law school A page by page review of his college year book? The soulless, crass, blundering, Democrats have demonstrated they have are no limits.

Look, it is all about timing. Vote is this morning. He will be on the bench by Monday. Even if Dems win in Nov, not seated til January. Kavanaugh will stop Mueller and it will be too late. Face it, we are doomed. StopKavanaugh

ABAesq Please, spearhead this effort. This man is not fit to serve as a judge, let alone a judge in SCOTUS. fundthepension

Does the 'Rule of Law' party ignore this?

All three accusers want an investigation. And SenateGOP doesn't. What does that say about Kavanaugh? And the Republicans? And the red state?

Good. They better step up.

It absolutely has to be done

Hey SenCoryGardner 80110 here. Call for an investigation now

You mean besides the six the FBI have already done on him?

I am betting if this happens that he will drop out

Reportedly? There's a public letter direct to Grassley & Feinstein. What more do your headline writers want? is its own worst enemy. It used to be the most informative. Then it became hippy. Then Israel/Palestine 24-7. And now it's just boring, dumb, and way behind on news.

TheRealJanel Oh brother!

When my US Marine Sergeant father accused me of not being a virgin 13, & beat me bloody for being interested in an older boy, I screamed in his face & told him to take me to be tested. Innocent people demand proof to exonerate them. StopKavanagh

Who's the boss now?

To what end? There’s no independent proof of these allegations, unlike with Clinton or Ellison.

I can't believe there are so many people who can't see through this obvious political hit job. It is a testament to the power of propaganda and the idiocy of the average American.

Too bad! So sad! We got the votes! I'm glad! Winning

Strange that the Bar is pretending they do not know this is not under the purview of the FBI.

TheRealJanel This mans life is destroyed because of a job

Reportedly? 🙄

.Disturbing how the GOP is so forcefully trying to rush him through. Appalling. This so warrants an investigation.

Kavanaugh doesn't want to be investigated by the FBI, because information and facts would make him "seem" to be untruthful.

Didn't they put out a letter? How is that reportedly?

Here is the ANA letter calling for an FBI investigation.

And the Jesuit magazine (stated today that Kavanaugh should withdraw.

Kavanaugh is dubious, at best. Time for a new nominee! He’ll be voted in, because this country is irreparably fucked, but he shouldn’t. You heard it here first!?

HA "For 12 years, everyone who has appeared before me on the D.C. Circuit has praised my judicial temperament," Kavanaugh told the Judiciary Committee members on Thursday. "That's why I have the unanimous, well qualified rating from the American Bar Association."

ABA realized the angry rage display by Kavanaugh is not one of logic, thoughtful reflection. Let the FBI determine the truth.

He got exposed. He's a liar and a cry baby.

Does NPR’s ‘reportedly’ mean the same as ‘rumors have it?’ Is NPR now a rumor mill?

Big yawn.

The same people who endorsed him just a week ago?

So does Alan Dershowitz. Go figure. Major fail by Krazy Kavanaugh today. 🇺🇸✊🇺🇸

THANK YOU ABAESQ! StopKavanaughNow

All they’ve accomplished by doing that is to appear political. Might as well, everyone’s doing it

Wait what?😳

Well, they’ve effectively ruined law as a viable profession for a generation of debt-slaves, so whatever
