As the Kavanaugh Keystone Kops Koverup team tries to convince us that he kept calendars of his social engagements from 1982, it appears the situation may be about to reach critical mass:
Senate Democrats Investigate a New Allegation of Sexual Misconduct, from the Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s College Years https://t.co/OtxrOWQc8c— Jane Mayer (@JaneMayerNYer) September 23, 2018
Here's an excerpt from the story:
The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. The New Yorker contacted Ramirez after learning of her possible involvement in an incident involving Kavanaugh. The allegation was conveyed to Democratic senators by a civil-rights lawyer. For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices. She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh’s role in the incident. “I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,” she said. (our emphasis)
But wait, there's more:

It's never just a one off with sexual predators; there's always a pattern of behavior and now we're seeing it emerge. Keep your popcorn popping.
UPDATE: The hits just keep on coming. Another accuser is talking to Montgomery County (MD) police.

This is it for Republicans. This is their tipping point, where they either remove Kavananugh from confirmation or push him through. To continue with him as their nominee is utterly indecent and completely ridiculous. Imagine if the Democrats tried to do what they're doing. And so we will see this week if the Republicans are so stubborn and reckless that they will put party above the good of the country. We will see who the party of decency and justice truly is, and who isn't.
If they proceed, I want the American public to witness it and realize who these people are. And in November, if women vote for Republicans, they should be ashamed.
donnah - we hope you're right, but we never underestimate the cynical rot that pervades the Republican Party, and for a woman to vote Republican bespeaks a moral and ethical density almost beyond imagination.
