Yeah--including the president.

she doesn't need the go fund me money. I'm sure she has already been very well compensated.

Yea, exactly. Can we please end the Get-Nothing-Done Two-Party System!

I always wonder if anything really gets done on behalf of the American People, or is everything so intertwined with phony disagreements, wink/wink agreements, broken promises, and outright lies to their constituents to keep them in the dark and allow these life-long politicians to accumulate immense wealth at the expense and ignorance of their hard-working, law-abiding citizens!

And to everyone, just stop with the "He didn't have the right to ask for an investigation" line of BS. No, he couldn't demand one, but when he was asked over and over and over whether he *wanted* one, a simple yes would have sufficed. But he squirmed out of answering every single time - even cut off the question when it was addressed to his wife during the TV interview and wouldn't let her answer!
Yes, why didn't Kavanaugh just submit to what the people calling him a rapist were saying! I mean, really, what's so unreasonable about saying, yeah sure, you think I'm unfit, called me evil, and are not calling me a rapist, so of course, I'm going to agree with you. That's probably what you would call reasonable but most people do not.

Do any of you, really any of you at all remember this guy is also a lawyer?????? There is NO lawyer, none, that will ask to be investigated for a crime he didn't commit. NONE! So stop acting like you're being reasonable, you're not and you know it. Well, correction, if you don't, then that says something too.

No business being on the Supreme Court? Yet Republicans went along with the "wise Latina", and she's less-qualified than he is. Kagan even more so.
Sotomayor has no business on the Court, she is horrible, and is the only one I ever disliked and thought not to be qualified for it.

Ford had no references, Kavanaugh had 65

The only reservation I would have is that he is clearly not non-partisan--made his hatred for Democrats fully known in fact--and a Supreme Court Justice cannot be so blatantly partisan. In any case, whatever happened to Merrick Garland? Oh right. The GOP stole his right to a hearing. You okay with THAT?

That seems to be the goal here. Keep asking for more investigations as more allegations are made. This game can be played indefinitely up until the 2020 elections. If Kavanaugh steps out of this because he finally gets sick and tired of it, the process starts all over again with allegations and investigations on anyone else that is nominated.

Nope. If the FBI comes out and says we have absolute concrete proof he did it, they won't care. They will either say the FBI is lying and politically motivated or that what happened 30+ years ago doesn't matter or some other pathetic justification. The reality is they really don't care - a majority of GOPers have already admitted that even if he's guilty, it doesn't matter as long as they get their guy on the bench and a political "win." Zero integrity whatsoever, pretty much the entire party at this point. Getting close to zero humanity, actually.

There is zero chance by this stage that any legit accusations wouldn’t have already come out. So far the ensuing claims after Ford’s have all been debunked as hoaxes
