    Sure, if this actually happened, it doesn't excuse it.

    psst, that's why real Americans are willing to see an investigation happen to determine how truthful the allegations are. I wouldn't blame the democrats for trying to get a court order for all the documents to be released and give a week to review them and then continue with the hearing. Why are trump supporters so quick to dismiss stuff and try and rush it through. I'd feel the same way if it was the opposite parties but here you are showing your bias by claiming the women are lying. No wonder you guys were labeled deplorables.

    Again, there was plenty of time to bring this up in the proper channels (i.e., not a last minute delay tactic). Multiple FBI Background checks, plenty of opportunity to bring this out other than 2 days before a vote.

    Only a week? Why not a month? A Year? 2 Years?

    I haven't been paying attention to a lot of the details, but from what I've seen:

    1. The accusations are coming from 3-4 women.
    2. The incidents occurred over 30 years ago.
    3. No report of the incidents was made to law enforcement until relatively recently. In fact I'm not sure if there has been anything reported to law enforcement to date.
    4. Kavanaugh has denied the incidents occurred and multiple contacts of his from the period of time also profess no knowledge of the incidents.

    This is just slander in my opinion. The investigation is likely to run its course, but it is clear to me that this is stalling.

    Your opinion or any of our opinions don't mean squat. Do an investigation and let the truth fall where it may fall.

    Can't you EVER fact check before you post nonsense?

    All of the witnesses Ford has identified at the party, including Kavanaugh, Judge, and another classmate, Patrick Smyth, have denied knowledge of the alleged assault under penalty of felony in statements to the Judiciary Committee.

    1. Yes, 3 different women havr come forward (I haven't heard a 4th) thats a big deal.

    2. So what

    3. Most women don't report being sexually assaulted or raped due to shame.

    4. Of course he denied it. You expect him to admit to it?

    So in your opinion women can make up stories about anything they want covering any year they've been alive and disparage someone and the claim must be thoroughly investigated (sometimes for months) and publically reported? Do I have that right?

    Only in your dreams. Kavanaugh is a shoo-in now.

    Once Avenatti entered the fray, the entire sham became obvious even to my most passionate anti-Trump friends.

    No decent person would want to be seen with, talk to, or shake the greasy palm of The Creepy Porn Lawyer.

    Next up, is Ginsburg being replaced by Thomas Hardiman or Amy Coney Barrett? :dunno:

    There appears to be enough information worthy of an investigation. This isn't a criminal case but instead is a lifetime position which should be thoroughly vetted. Do you think it's appropriate to withhold 90% of the information the republicans have about Kavanaugh? Let's have transparency.

    As I pointed out, he already supplied written testimony under penalty of perjury.

    He wisely and justly refuses to be a pawn in any further smear campaign.

    As would anyone baselessly accused of a vague innuendo supposedly 30+-ish years ago at an unknown location by some psycho.

    Likely will be suing some folks for defamation after this all dies down.
