I think that's just the cover the dems are using for their base...

If the gop is able to load the courts....the dems know they will finally come after them for all their crimes
...and all of that will end up in front of the supremes

I wonder if 20 years from now a woman especially a republican activist accuses Obama of sexual assault 20 years ago without proof will the dem liberals scream "we believe her" then?

They have adopted the end justifies the means where lies are ok because it saves what they consider decency in American law , such as abortion for example.

The right is capable of hypocrisy also but the liberal left are becoming masters at hypocrisy.

Anybody that can admit the truth would say it is all about politics and winning for their side not about worry over sexual assault.

My guess is he will be confirmed. They are not going to let this get delayed until after the election. However investigations will continue because the Dems will have the opportunity to prove the Repubs put a molester on the SC, and the Repubs will have the opportunity to show the Dems created a witch hunt and butchered a mans name and reputation just to play political games. The parties are so opposed, there will be far more resources available for these investigations than the FBI would ever apply.

I t will be interesting to see how it plays out. One party or the other may take a serious hit over this. Or it may result in a bunch of contradictory witnesses or evidence and just divide the county even more deeply.

The other interesting thing is the next nominee is very likely to be someone the Dems fear even more. Are they going to just stall this appointment for three or seven years? If they manage that, it will be clear our government is no longer functional (although that is pretty clear now).

But actually my question was aimed at those in this thread, and it's my fault for not being specific in that regard ... so, I'll ask again..


To those on the left 'in this thread' -- why are you ignoring the two mystery men who had claimed they were the ones who assaulted her?

Because they have zero credibility. Not allowing themselves to be named or to testify shows that. That is why no one cares what they have to say. I wonder how much Trump offered to pay them to come forward.

I didn't realize due process was a part of the job hiring process.

If Kavanaugh was a defendant in a criminal case you might actually have a point.

They either are choosing to be misinformed or just being ridiculous -- can't figure that out yet.
Actually several Kavanuagh non-supporters are the ones who morphed it into rape. With 9K+/- posts I won't go back and look but I did comment on it yesterday.

It is my experience that drunk men can't hold an erection. So, how would it be possible he drank to such an extent, that he was able to supposedly able to rape someone? Nobody has addressed that yet....


According to one study:


"Researchers have found that too much alcohol affects both your brain and your penis. In one University of Washington study, sober men were able to achieve an erection more quickly than intoxicated men — and some men are unable to have an erection at all after drinking." And in that moment the University of Washington discovered what frat boys everywhere have always known in their hearts. "The reason is reduced blood flow to the penis during drinking..

How many guys here have lost their erection while drunk? It's pretty common, isn't it, to not be able to perform as well when you are drinking. Unless some of you are Superman.
