    Yes, I hope they proceed. And change the rules for confirmation hearings to cut short unsubstantiated allegations. The Confirmations process is not a court of law, so allegations of crimes not on record have no place in the process.

    That's a nutty position, but hey, let's assume that crimes can't be brought up like you wish.

    How about non-criminal moral turpitude? Can that be brought up?

    Or is your position that only good things can be said about a nominee?

    Will that be true for Democratic nominees also?

    Why have confirmation hearings, if you aren't going to allow any negative evidence to be heard?

    Not as low a character as it takes to be at peace with attempted rape.

    That would be dumb of him to do. "To make things more convenient and easy" isn't how you get things done.

    Its clearly a charade, not a parade. Democrats continue to be exposed as petty, partisan hacks that will go to desperate and unethical lengths in the name of their party, even weaponizing sexual abuse claims.

    ...not sure what ancient history has to do with now but since you decided to fire up the time machine, RBG was not nominated by Trump.

    Maybe she didn't try to rape anyone. Just a guess.

    ...as per usual, that is irrelevant to the current topic. But if it were to happen, hopefully, Trump would use better judgment...but I doubt it.

    You really need to educate yourself in the number of sexualt assault cases and how many go reported and from that how few result in convictions. Women get raped the second time when they have to go to court and thus the reason so many avoid that route.

    Not sure if its credible, but there is a rumor going around Avenetti's "client" is a 4chan hoax. He vehemently denies it per Jake Tapper, but he put his Twitter on private earlier today.

    I wonder if Ford will even Testify on Thursday. Feinspy is saying she doesn't know and sounds like they are bringing in a big gun to question her.
