Democrats confirmed Gorsuch. There was no question about his background. There were no women who came forward with allegations against him. We have to take the allegations against Kavanaugh seriously. And he was not telling the truth today.

Does the FBI have a time machine?

That vote kept the status quo balance of power this potential justice is thought to shift the balance of power, just like the last high tech lynching after Thurgood Marshall died.

Could be true. And perfectly fair. Just like the Republicans did to Obama. The Repubs should have picked a candidate as clean as the last one. This guy is not.

Or he is clean as newly fallen snow, which under the American justice system, presumption of innocence he is. Unless you are politically incorrect and might change the direction of the Supreme Court and then a political player will step up at the last minute and say you did X and those against you will claim the accuser is as pure as Rosa Parks.

Sure he is clean. The false accuser only dirties herself. If she really was ever assaulted, which I doubt, she is killing any credibility for people believing her if she does ever accuse the attacker. It's just that the stakes are higher for the criminal politicians on both sides of the aisle who know what's coming once Kavanaugh is confirmed.

It's the GOP who STOLE this SCJ nomination and hearing from the Obama administration. Deal with reality and get back to us.
It's always a hoot when Democrats, who treated their constituents so badly that the voters voted them out of a majority in the Senate (thus taking away the privilege of deciding who gets discussed, voted on etc.), still whine that somehow they are "owed" the privilege to making such decisions anyway.

Democrats had done enough to anger their constituents, that those constituents voted them out of the majority in the Senate. So they no longer had the votes in the committees they needed.

Yet we keep hearing, in regard to confirmation hearings for Garland, that the Republicans should have given them "what is rightfully theirs" and held hearings.

"What is rightfully theirs" is what the voters decided they should have. You got a problem with that?

Basically, the Democrats blew it.

Elections have consequences. One of them is that, if you lose, you can't dictate what the Senate does any more.

Ford should produce a police report filed within days of the event.

If she can't, no one has any way to know what happened.

If not, McConnell will properly schedule the vote Monday.

How are they supposed to judge him? The reps withheld so many files of his, that they pretty much have to judge him by his character. With so many clamoring to testify under oath against him and begging for the FBI to investigate him, what is one to think? If he is such a man of character, where are the files? Where is the FBI? The reps give very little to use. Do men of impeccable character usually have so many people willing to swear under threat of perjury that they are not men of character? How would we know if they are lying if there's no investigation? How can you presume innocence when the reps make him look so guilty?

Why would she come forward if it wasn't true. What does she have to gain. If Kavanaugh is confirmed then he dirties the whole supreme court and our country. And no he is not clean because his yearbook describes him and Georgetown prep accurately
