If I call Hirono’s office now, I might end up in trouble. At least if I said what was on my mind. On some good pain meds right now, so who knows what I’ll say. Haha.

You can bet that if someone calls and uses the same tone and volume level of voice as when she uttered "Guess who’s perpetuating all these kinds of actions? It’s the men in this country. And I just want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up. Do the right thing, for a change.", you'd be judged sexist, misogynist, have anger management issues and be "out of control". I know from experience.

EDIT: I just called both offices and said "I would like to urge the senator to vote to confirm judge Kavanuagh. I'd like the senator to step up and do the right thing for change". Both women gave curt responses, the Hirono phone person "Okay. buh-bye!"

Miracle of miracles!  An "on the fence" Democrat breaks ranks and will vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh.   :thumbsup:

Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination secures votes for passage

Quote
Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh on Friday secured the support needed to win Senate confirmation to the
Supreme Court as two Republicans and a Democrat who had waited to announce their votes rallied
to the side of President Trump’s nominee.

The announcement of support by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Joe
Manchin III (W.Va.) capped a bitter partisan fight in which Kavanaugh fended off allegations of decades-
old sexual misconduct.

In a key procedural vote earlier Friday, Flake, Collins and Manchin joined with the majority in a 51-to-49
vote to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination. Following the vote, all three senators indicated they plan to
support Kavanaugh’s confirmation in a final vote scheduled for Saturday.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Collins said Kavanaugh had “received rave reviews” for his 12 years
as a federal appeals court judge and that the misconduct allegations against him failed to meet a standard
of “more likely than not.”

I hope Mazie either listened to the speech or reads this.  Susan Collins might actually convince more Democrats to confirm.

[snipped a whole bunch]

Mr. President, we’ve heard a lot of charges and counter charges about Judge Kavanaugh.  But as those who have
known him best have attested, he has been an exemplary public servant, judge, teacher, coach, husband, and father. 
Despite the turbulent, bitter fight surrounding his nomination, my fervent hope is that Brett Kavanaugh will work to
lessen the divisions in the Supreme Court so that we have far fewer 5-4 decisions and so that public confidence in
our Judiciary and our highest court is restored.  Mr. President, I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

The Media on Kavanaugh's last hearing: 

Out of control, angry, lacks temperament ...



Also the Media on people protesting Kavanaugh -- screaming in the faces of members of the Senate, snatching and ripping up "Confirm Kavanaugh" signs from other people, and being arrested for trespassing:

Peaceful protests.

Kavanaugh was surrounded by his friends, family, and longtime colleagues...
     who were visibly shaken from watching him get attacked.


Ford was surrounded by activists, actresses, and lawyers...
     who were coaching her to help her keep her story straight.

Her testimony was obviously scripted, practiced, massaged, and fabricated out of whole cloth.

That was my first impression. That and CBF just seems like a psychopath. IMO, having taken only 200 college level psych and sociology.

Even her parents didn't show support for her story.  And to afraid to fly to be in DC by Monday to face her accuser and tell her story.  So needed an additional 3 days to practice.

IMHO, it falls into the same category as applying for a Hawaii CCW Permit.

If you don't at least go through the motions, they can blame you for not making an effort regardless of zero chance of success.

Alaska senator Lisa Murkowski will be the sole Republican to vote against Kavanaugh. If Manchin (D -  West Virginia) hadn't announced his last second support for Kavanaugh, it would have been a tie vote. Had one of the other Republican flakes (Flake, Collins) gone the Murkoswski route, Kavanaugh would have lost.

Be sure to send more money to the geniuses at the NRA!

NRA Endorses Lisa Murkowski for Re-election to U.S. Senate

https://www.nraila.org/articles/20160928/nra-endorses-lisa-murkowski-for-re-election-to-us-senate

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2016

FAIRFAX, Va.—The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse Senator Lisa Murkowski in her re-election bid for the U.S. Senate. 

“The NRA is proud to endorse Lisa Murkowski and appreciates her continued support of the Second Amendment. We urge all NRA members and gun owners in Alaska to vote Lisa Murkowski for U.S. Senate,” concluded Cox.

* * * * *
Here was the choice against Murkowski:

https://www.ammoland.com/2016/09/joe-miller-offers-chance-replace-murkowski-true-reform-liberty-advocate/#ixzz5T6uH50tL

Joe Miller Offers Chance to Replace Murkowski with ‘True Reform’ Liberty Advocate

“Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Joe Miller to represent the state of Alaska in the U.S. Senate,” an email from GOA announced Friday. “Joe Miller's commitment to the right to keep and bear arms is unwavering … Unlike other candidates in this race, Joe Miller returned his GOA Candidate Questionnaire 100% in favor of your gun rights.”

The main “other candidate” to be concerned about is Republican Lisa Murkowski, recipient of a mediocre “C” rating from GOA based on performance in office. That assessment comes from a scorecard for votes and concludes Murkowski only agreed with GOA’s positions 69% of the time.

Among the reasons for Murkowski’s low score:  She did not vote on a concealed carry reciprocity bill they supported. She voted for a bill that would “create an incremental path to citizenship for most illegal immigrants in the country.” She voted for an amendment that “would send a person to prison for 15 years for selling a gun to a veteran, without realizing that he was one of the 165,000 military veterans who was put into the NICS system for PTSD.” And she voted for cloture on the nomination of a rabidly anti-gun New York judge to the DC Court of Appeals.
