...for the good of the country.

He does not have the judicial temperament or character to be a Supreme Court judge, a lifetime position.

He was crying, screaming, and disrespectful during hearings. We all saw it happen live. If that had been a woman, she'd have likely been called hysterical or even crazy.

Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, he should step aside because of his outrageous, unflattering behavior and multiple accounts of untoward behaviors in his past. This to save his family humiliation
and the rest of us...from the anger and partisan attitude he exhibited and might continue to exhibit on the Supreme Court.

I love these women! Breath of fresh air.
That’s wonderful. All this will be here when you get back. Lol.

Good to see there's at least one Republican who values integrity and honesty on the Supreme Court.

My source:

While McConnell vowed that "only senators will be allowed to look at" the FBI's final findings, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) pressed for the public release of a redacted version of the FBI report. But Republicans are worried about breaking precedent by releasing such information, which will be made available before the Senate votes this week on Kavanaugh's nomination, according to GOP leaders.

I watched it on the local news.

That's not what I've noticed IRL. We never discuss politics at work and people where talking about it and not in a partisan way. This is an internet message board for politics. I think that tilts it toward political.

Yes. We know. Any woman that comes forward with an assault charge is a **** and a liar according to Republicans.

Save it.

OK. I couldn't find anything on Graham. Let's hope he can get a redacted version out.

Well, that's on Democrats. There is ZERO proof Kavanaugh did anything to Dr. Ford, and ample proof that he has been a good boss, a good judge, and a good man his entire career.

No he shouldn't.
Show us where, in the past almost 30 years of his career, other than this particular time he'd been "crying, screaming and disrespectful".


edit to add..almost three decades is a very long time, surely you have plenty of examples if he's as bad as you say

Trump said one was too ugly I believe and he threatened to sue them for coming forward. That's why they "let him do it".
