By Richard Cowan and Amanda Becker

WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - 大統領 Donald Trump's 指名された人, Brett Kavanaugh, looked 長,率いるd for a lifetime 職業 on the U.S. 最高裁判所 on Friday after two 決定的な 上院議員s said that 性の 不品行/姦通 告訴,告発s against the 裁判官 would not 妨げる them from 投票(する)ing to 確認する him.

If Kavanaugh is 認可するd in a final 上院 投票(する), likely on Saturday, Trump will have 達成するd a victory in his 運動 to 強固にする/合併する/制圧する 保守的な dominance of the nation's highest 法廷,裁判所 and move the American 司法の to the 権利.

Two 重要な 上院議員s, 共和国の/共和党の Susan Collins and 民主党員 Joe Manchin, both seen as swing 投票(する)s, said they would support Kavanaugh, after weeks of 審議 about 性の 暴力/激しさ and the 指名された人's temperament that gripped the nation.

Kavanaugh's 確定/確認 would give 保守的なs a solid 5-4 大多数 in 未来 合法的な 戦う/戦いs on contentious 問題/発行するs such as abortion 権利s, 移民/移住, 産業 規則, 大統領の 力/強力にするs, and gay and transgender 権利s.

A はっきりと 同志/支持者 戦う/戦い over the 指名/任命 became an 激しい personal and political 演劇 when university professor Christine Blasey Ford (刑事)被告 Kavanaugh of sexually 強襲,強姦ing her when they were high school students in Maryland in 1982.

Collins, in 発言/述べるs on the 上院 床に打ち倒す explaining her 決定/判定勝ち(する) to 支援する Kavanaugh, said Ford's 告訴,告発s against him "fail to 会合,会う the more-likely-than-not 基準."

As 抗議する人s in a (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 Hill hallway shouted, "Shame! Shame! Shame!" Manchin told reporters an 連邦検察局 調査, which did not find 確認するing 証拠 of Ford's 告訴,告発s, was 徹底的な.

"I believe Dr. Ford. Something happened to Dr. Ford. I don't believe the facts show that it was Brett Kavanaugh, but I believe something happened," Manchin said.

Two other women also made 告訴,告発s of 性の 不品行/姦通 by Kavanaugh in the 1980s. He 否定するd those 告訴,告発s, 同様に as Ford's, in angry testimo ny to a 上院 委員会.

The only 共和国の/共和党の to 投票(する) against Kavanaugh, 上院議員 Lisa Murkowski, said in a speech on the 上院 床に打ち倒す on Friday night that her 決定/判定勝ち(する) was "agonizing" but after watching Kavanaugh's 上院 証言 she "could not 結論する that he is the 権利 person for the 法廷,裁判所 at this time."

About 100 デモ参加者/実演宣伝者s were 逮捕(する)d on Friday in 上院 office buildings, the (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 Building, and outside the 最高裁判所, the U.S. (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂 Police said in a 声明. More than 300 were 逮捕(する)d on Thursday.

共和国の/共和党のs 持つ/拘留する a 51-49 大多数 in the U.S. 上院, and with the two 重要な 上院議員s choosing to 投票(する) in 好意 of Kavanaugh, the 確定/確認 looked locked-in late on Friday.

Brian Fallon, (n)役員/(a)執行力のある director of 需要・要求する 司法(官), a group that …に反対するs Trump's judicial 指名された人s, said Kavanaugh would join the 法廷,裁判所 "with a cloud over his 長,率いる."

"He will be an 非合法の 司法(官), and his 確定/確認 will 示す a point of no return for the 最高裁判所's 評判 as the one, apolitical 支店 of 政府," Fallon said.

HEADED FOR THE COURT

In theory, Kavanaugh could be 確認するd, sworn in and sitting on the mahogany (法廷の)裁判 in the 伝統的な 黒人/ボイコット 司法(官)'s 式服 by Tuesday, when the 法廷,裁判所 is next in 開会/開廷/会期. White House 公式の/役人s have said Kavanaugh would be sworn in 速く.

The Kavanaugh fight has riveted Americans just weeks before Nov. 6 選挙s in which 民主党員s are trying to take 支配(する)/統制する of the U.S. 議会 from the 共和国の/共和党のs.

Several 最近の 投票s show that 共和国の/共和党の enthusiasm about 投票(する)ing, which had lagged behind 民主党員s, jumped after a contentious 上院 司法の 委員会 審理,公聴会 last week.

But 民主党員s say women 怒り/怒るd at the Kavanaugh 告訴,告発s will turn out in large numbers to 投票(する) out 共和国の/共和党のs.

Trump, himself (刑事)被告 by 非常に/多数の women during the 2016 大統領の 選挙 of 性の 不品行/姦通, tweeted his 是認 of the 上院 投票(する) on Friday, 説, "Very proud of the U.S. 上院 for votin g 'YES' to 前進する the 指名/任命 of 裁判官 Brett Kavanaugh!"

上院議員s had 支援するd Kavanaugh, a 連邦の 控訴,上告s 法廷,裁判所 裁判官, in a procedural 投票(する) earlier on Friday that moved the 共和国の/共和党の-controlled 上院 toward a 最終的な 決定/判定勝ち(する).

Trump has made 任命するing 保守的な 裁判官s a major plank of his 大統領/総裁などの地位, and last year his 指名された人 Neil Gorsuch was 確認するd by the 上院.

Ford's 証言 to the 上院 司法の 委員会 was broadcast live on television last Thursday and 逮捕(する)d the attention of some 20 million people watching on broadcast and cable 網状組織s.

In an angry rebuttal later that day, Kavanaugh said the 告訴,告発s were part of a "political 攻撃する,衝突する" by 民主党員s.

His 指名/任命 became a flashpoint in the #MeToo social マスコミ movement against 性の いやがらせ and 強襲,強姦. Trump mocked Ford on Tuesday during a political 決起大会/結集させる in Mississippi, その上の 怒り/怒るing 民主党員s and women (選挙などの)運動をするing for an end to 性の 暴力/激しさ.

The 連邦検察局 sent 議会 文書s 詳細(に述べる)ing 付加 interviews about Kavanaugh that the 機関 行為/行うd at the request of some 共和国の/共和党の and Democratic 上院議員s.

While the 文書s have not been made public, 共和国の/共和党のs said they did not 支援する up 性の 強襲,強姦 主張s by Ford, a psychology professor at Palo Alto University in California.

類似して, 共和国の/共和党のs said the 連邦検察局 設立する nobody to support 強襲,強姦 (人命などを)奪う,主張するs by Deborah Ramirez, who was a classmate of Kavanaugh's at Yale University in the 1980s.

民主党員s called the 連邦検察局 報告(する)/憶測 a whitewash and said the White House placed 強制s on the 連邦検察局, which did not speak to many 可能性のある 証言,証人/目撃するs.
