    Kavanaugh;

    “I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many. In retrospect, I said and did things in high school that make me cringe now,”

    When Kevin Barton gets nominated for the supreme court, I am willing to stand by his high moral character.

    ...ouch. Did you notice at yesterday's UN speech that Trump pointed a finger at China for meddling in our elections but said nothing about Russia?

    Because the allegations are from over 30 years ago and there is no evidence that the actions are true. This is just the Democratic party making shit up to try and stop the appointment of a SCOTUS judge.

    One might suggest that the existence of multiple similar accusations at least constitutes evidence of their legitimacy, even if not proof.

    While I acknowledge that it's certainly possible--maybe even likely--that the accusations are false and conspiratorial, it seems a bit hasty and irrational to simply dismiss them out of hand.

    So then why not have an investigation to find out the truth?. Republicans have withheld 90% of available documents regarding Kavanaugh. Why? They also don't want an investigation. Again why? Why are they always in a hurry to try and shove things through without the proper information being made available to all?

    1. The evidence or the credibility of the parties involved has yet to be determined one way or another, which is why there's going to be a at least one hearing.

    2. The Republicans also stonewalled/delayed the appointment of a SCOTUS a fews years ago...and the Dems were pissed...now the shoe is on the other foot.

    If these are in fact false allegations (which I'm not stating), this would be a terrible justification for them.

    If you believe there is no evidence, then you haven't been paying attention.

    To turn it around, there is no evidence that the Democratic party is behind any of these women coming forward.

    ...true, but at this point I think that the Dems feel like they have nothing to lose anyway...but yes, this could be very costly to both parties and could obviously shape the SC for many years to come and could also sway independents in the midterms to one side or another.

    ...this latest accuser seems credible to me, partly because if she's lying and is proven to be lying she could be prosecuted and serve jail time so I doubt she'd stick her neck out if her allegations were not true...she also seems to be on solid ground because of her clearance and years as a Gov employee.

    I think that is a good question. Why she kept going to parties gang rapes were happening at?
