Senate Democrats on Wednesday demanded that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, withdraw from consideration after a third woman came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct. Moments after the allegations — which NBC News has not independently verified and were firmly denied by Kavanaugh — were made public, Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that Kavanaugh should step aside. He also implored Republicans to "immediately suspend the proceedings related to" the judge's nomination. "I strongly believe Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw from consideration. If he will not, at the very least, the hearing and vote...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer thinks it’s time for Brett Kavanaugh to withdraw from the Supreme Court confirmation process. If he won’t, Schumer called for Republicans to press pause on Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination in the wake of explosive new allegations of sexual misconduct that emerged against him on Wednesday. “I strongly believe Judge Kavanaugh should withdraw from consideration. If he will not, at the very least, the hearing and vote should be postponed while the FBI investigates all of these allegations,” said Schumer in a statement released on Wednesday. “If our Republican colleagues proceed without an investigation, it would...

“Leader McConnell owes an apology to Dr. Ford for labeling her allegations ‘a smear job’ and he should apologize to her immediately,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor. “It is galling for the Republican leader who has done more than maybe anyone else to politicize the Supreme Court nomination process to make these trumped-up, hyperbolic charges of partisanship by Democrats.”

Schumer: ‘There Is No Presumption of Innocence’ for Kavanaugh BY: Aryssa Damron September 25, 2018 4:40 pm Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said on Tuesday there is "no presumption of innocence" for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when it comes to sexual misconduct allegations because "this is not a criminal trial." "There is no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Capitol Hill. His remarks contrast those from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who said on Tuesday that Kavanaugh deserved the presumption of...

Reddit story about how 2 idiots screw w/ Avenatti claiming that Kavanaugh/Judge ran a train on her and then later smashed their burner phones and he went private. https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/9iugcc/avenatti_locked_his_twitter_4chan_may_have_pulled/?ref=share&ref_source=twitter

**SNIP** While most Democrats are taking Ramirez’s allegation seriously — if not to the extent they're publicly backed Ford — they’re stopping far short of giving the same treatment to a third, unknown woman tied to the nominee and represented by celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti. Avenatti has tweeted that his client is a “woman with credible information” concerning “the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs” by Kavanaugh and his longtime friend Mark Judge, whom Ford has identified as the third person in the room during her alleged assault. But Democratic senators are treading lightly on the claims from Avenatti, who also...

In a shocking letter intended to undermine the President, and his authority over the Executive Branch, multiple high ranking Democrats sent a letter ordering intelligence agencies to ignore Trump’s order to declassify numerous documents involving the Russia investigation until consulting with Congress. The intelligence agencies serve at the pleasure of the president — and this clearly crosses the line separating the branches of government. The letter was signed by Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Senator Mark Warner, and Senator Charles Schumer and sent to Director Coats, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Director Wray. “Your agencies’ review, and any communication...

In a last ditch desperate attempt to derail Judge Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court, democrats have sunk deep in the doo-doo. They risk ridicule and derision within their own party. Even democrats wearing 'coke bottle' glasses see through the pathetic charade orchestrated by the handlers of Christine Blasely. They have conjured up absurd allegations to destroy a very fine gentlemen's impeccable character, his family, and his judicial career. Democrats are both secretly and publicly ashamed of Diane Feinstein, the aged senator that tossed the 'Hail Mary' pass to destroy Judge Kavanaugh. They're wondering why an incredibly wealthy elderly senator...

A nation gawks as Washington sinks deeper into the muck, but put aside your disgust long enough to digest what we’re seeing. Three big things are on display. First, Democrats are proving again that their force multiplier is a win-or-die zealotry. They were on a mission to kill anybody President Trump chose to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and, within minutes of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he would fight Kavanaugh “with everything I have.” All 10 Dems on the Judiciary Committee pledged to vote no. They looked silly given the nominee’s impeccable credentials,...

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) is calling on the FBI to investigate allegations of attempted sexual assault facing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, charges that have delayed his confirmation vote. Schumer on Monday evening accused the White House of “intentionally” choosing “to bury its head in the sand and make weak excuses” for its pick. “We need the FBI to step forward to ensure that the Senate and American public have complete information about this troubling alleged incident before a hearing is held,” he said in a statement. Schumer issued his remarks shortly after the Justice Department announced that...

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says Republicans on the Judiciary Committee can’t be trusted to conduct an impartial review of the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer says voting on Kavanaugh scheduled for this week must be delayed so these “serious and credible” allegations can be investigated by the FBI.

The gut-wrenching slide of the 2008 stock market crash is unforgettable for those caught in it. In the six weeks from the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy on Sep. 17, the stock market lost over 40 percent of its value. A quarter of trading days had plunges of 4 percent or more. Investors saw life’s savings dissipate. Traders saw a year’s work and bonus compensation vaporize. The Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury, which had been scrambling to cope with the developing financial crisis, accelerated their efforts to a frenetic pace, developing program after program to stem the panic. A chart of the...

Senate Minority Leader, Democrat, Chuck Schumer declares, many Democrats running for political office or, re-election this year do not want to appear publicly with ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, fearing the "Obama Kiss Of Political Defeat" will fall upon them, based on the past devastation Obama has caused in losing over 1000 legislative seats...across the boards over his term in office. Obama has a proven record of having massive negative political impact on Democrats that he has given his endorsement to.

Some have written, and rightly so, that all of this behavior during the Kavanaugh hearing has been nothing but political grandstanding. However, it goes much further than that. When well-educated adults who know the value system (Harris - former prosecutor) dictating right and wrong decide to deliberately and openly break the rules to get what they want, we have undeniable monster developing. Kamala Harris deliberately broke Senate rules in an attempt to shut down the hearings and was called out on a point of order. She knew what she was doing was wrong and did it anyway. Booker bragged about...

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned on Sunday that Brett Kavanaugh will allow President Trump to "overreach" his authority if he is to be confirmed to the Supreme Court. In an interview with AM 970 The Answer in New York, Schumer told host John Catsimatidis that, of a list of 25 potential Supreme Court nominees, Kavanaugh was the one "most willing" to allow the president to overstep his authority. "[W]ith a president who seems to want to overreach in terms of his power, Kavanaugh, of the list of 25, was the one who is most willing to allow...

Senate Democrats closed down the chamber floor Wednesday to protest the confirmation hearings of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The hearings were able to continue, but only after the GOP agreed to quit floor business for the rest of the day. Under Senate rules, committees need consent from both sides of the aisle to meet into the afternoon when the floor is also in session. Consent is almost always granted...

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be cut short Wednesday, after Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blocked Republican efforts to keep questioning the nominee until late in the day. Schumer objected to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s request for the committee to continue meeting after 2 p.m., meaning the Supreme Court confirmation hearings could bleed into next week. The move is the latest clash between the parties in what has been a contentious hearing process.

Hours before Brett Kavanaugh arrived for his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Chuck Schumer and frustrated fellow Democratic senators debated staging a mass walkout — or not showing up at all. For weeks, the party grappled with how to force the release of millions of pages of missing Kavanaugh documents after Republicans spurned their previous attempts. The discussions culminated during a Labor Day conference call: Senators weighed the drastic protest measures but opted against them, worried about what would come next and whether the fallout from a made-for-TV moment would undercut their efforts to defeat the nomination, according to multiple...
