“Oral contraceptives that can be used for emergency contraception in the United States”

http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/dose.html

“In the U.S., progestin-only EC is available on the shelf without age restrictions to women and men. Look for Plan B One-Step, Take Action, Next Choice One-Dose, My Way or other generics in the family planning aisle.”

I’m not an expert in such things.

Consult a qualified doctor in case of medical need.

“Kavanaugh was raised in Bethesda, Maryland. As a teenager he attended Georgetown Preparatory School, where he was two years senior to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. After prep school, Kavanaugh went to Yale University and majored in history.”

It’s in North Bethesda.

This one week delay is routine under Senate rules. It was widely expected and means nothing. The full. Vote will go forward as planned.

BREAKING: The FBI does not intend to launch an investigation into Brett Kavanaugh over Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s anonymous letter from unknown person over unknown allegations - WaPo

Grassley’s office on Monday sent out an agenda for a business meeting the committee will have on Thursday. Kavanaugh’s nomination is included as one of roughly two dozen judicial nominations that could get a vote.

The move means Kavanaugh’s nomination could get a vote as soon as this week. But Democrats are expected to DELAY the vote until next week, meaning Kavanaugh’s nomination will likely be taken up by the committee on SEPT. 20.

Under committee rules, any one senator can delay a nomination by a week when it’s on the agenda for the first time, as Kavanaugh’s nomination will be on Thursday. Nominations are routinely held over for a week.

Grassley had previously indicated LAST Thursday that he would place Kavanaugh’s nomination on the committee’s agenda for SEPT. 13.

“Grassley’s notice on Monday formally sets in motion the Republican plan of getting Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court by October, when the justices will start their next term.

Republicans hold the majority on the Judiciary Committee, so Kavanaugh is expected to easily clear the panel despite last week’s heated four-day hearing.

Kavanaugh will then need a simple majority to get confirmed by the full Senate.”

Post 11 is incorrect. Brett Kavanaugh scheduled vote by the Judiciary Committee was to be today,

Post 11 is correct.

The vote was, indeed, scheduled to be for today.

HOWEVER:

Per procedure, any Democrat could call for a one week delay for ANY reason, up to and including his or her underwear was too tight.

So it was a foregone conclusion that the vote was to be September 20th.

Educate yourself next time, and also, next time have the common decency to ping me when you try to (erroneously) refute my statements.

Think of it as letting loose more rope for Dems to hang themselves.

This is kabuki theater for the dems. Normally it’s the GOP doing Kabuki for their voters. This time it’s the Dems. They know he’s going to be confirmed. But they want to gin up their base for the election so they will do this crap. And the GOP will let them so they can have their kabuki when they are out of power.
