    How do you know every eye witness said this? How do you know who the eye witnesses even are?

    Instead of rushing this - we need to let the FBI investigage. Kavanaugh declared under oath he has never commited any kind of sexual harassment - if it indeed was him, then he has committed perjury. This must be investigated and the truth should be found.

    Consider that if it is not investigated, half the country will forever seem him as unfit and you will shake the trust of the Public in the SCOTUS.

    Already Trump and Republicans have destroyed the FBI. Congress never had trust. The Presidency is soiled. And now the SCOTUS? The last institution that hasn't been pooped on by this President?

    Take a few days to preserve the truth and trust. If Kavanaugh is innocent, than an investigation will be positive for him and the country. Why do you oppose that?

    Would be difficult to find something the person didn't remember until 6 days of consulting with counsel.

    This has nothing to do with "skeletons in the closet" this is clearly a new low when it comes to dirty politics. There's no care you can take in nominating someone that will prevent baseless allegations like this. If you have people pathetic enough to lie and spit in the face of real victims everywhere, this can happen. Honestly women who lie about things like this deserve to have them actually happen to them. It's one of the most disgusting things that a person could do.

    There was a reason why Mitch MCconnell was reluctant with BK. They knew this before hand. There was no reast for Mitch to be hesitant with BK. His record as a judge was standard fair conservative. Obviously some moderates and liberals would not appreciate his record but nothing that the current GOP would be afraid to pass through. Mitch was worried about something else. Now we know what it was. The real question is how did Mitch know before hand?

    No woman ever deserves to be sexually assaulted.

    The allegations need not be truthful at this point. They just need to delay this until November. November is right around the corner.

    In all fairness, I doubt MC would EVER allow BK to be nominated if he knew this ahead of time. My understanding is there were so many documents on BK that MC thought he is the hardest to be confirmed among the choices. Of course, we don't know what are all in those docs. And I think their strategy from the get go (once he is the choice) was to hide them.

    How much money would someone have to pay you to risk death threats, moving from your home and having to hire a security detail and tens of millions of people judging your promiscuity and honesty?

    This is a genuine question. Also how would a political party hide that exchange of money?

    Not true. Women who would lie about it in an effort to ruin someone's life for political reasons absolutely deserve it, and worse. A lie about something like that is an attack on not just their intended victim, but it's an attack on every woman who has ever actually been sexually assaulted.


    There weren't left wing lunatics out to stop that nomination by all means necessary like there are now. You can swap Kavanaugh out with anyone else and something similar would be happening. All it takes is pathetic pieces of **** willing to lie for political reasons and you get baseless allegations like this.

    Things would be different if there were credible allegations, but they don't exist.

    God you guys sound whiny as hell. You’ll get your Gdamn judge who will make abortions illegal, ban unions, and rule Obamacare illegal.

    Chill out. We need to take a step back and investigate the claims for two seconds. Nobody is saying these women are NOT lying but you usual suspects are panicking looking for anything you can to play armchair investigator to cover for Kavanaugh and Trump.

    You will get a right wing judge... relax.

    You can't know about pathetic pieces of **** willing to lie ahead of time....and even if you know they exist, you can't do anything about it.

    Them marching ladies with pink p***y hats would jump at the chance if their age and location fit the narrative.

    Funny enough, Ford essentially was one of them only it was a different anti-Trump march and she was rocking a more family friendly version of the p***y hat.

    Great nuance there.

    Genuine question. What is the amount a political party would need to pay you to do what Ford did given the consequences I mentioned?

    We'll just have to agree to disagree then, perhaps it's that I take these kinds of attacks on victims of sexual assault more seriously than you do.
