This is not a criminal trial. It’s a job interview. And even if he is innocent of the charge, he lied multiple times under oath. That’s enough to vote no. |

Nice try, but no. |

Huh? You want to put a perjurer on our supreme court? |

So are you saying that an allegation, even if the person making it sounds credible, is sufficient to ruin someone’s career? Do you realize what that opens the door for? She essentially has no corroborating evidence, and the people she identified as being in a position to support her accusation either denied knowledge or outright refuted it. I can’t understand how so many are willing to destroy this guy (or anyone) over an unsubstantiated allegation. I guess I do understand - you hate his politics and/or the person who nominated him. |

They are surely allowed to voice their opinions? Are you against the idea of saying no artificial constraints? |

"Indeed, an FBI background check is standard operating procedure for reviewing allegations of misconduct against candidates for top government positions. The FBI investigated claims about John Tower’s drinking habits when the Senate was considering his nomination by President George H.W. Bush to be Secretary of Defense — and in a step Republican Senator Orrin Hatch at the time called “the very right thing to do,” the FBI also examined alleged sexual misconduct by Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court nomination proceedings." Any senator who opposes an FBI investigation doesn't deserve to serve on this committee. The way these senators change their tune to suit their narrative is deplorable. They have no moral compass whatsoever. |

She has to pay for security so some right wing idiot doesn't kill her or her kids. Remember that? |

| When will get to see teary Brett weep again? When we withdraws, or is withdrawn? When he talks of his deep love for his family and/or calendaring? When he is disbarred? When?!? |

Credible allegations are why Paterno, Cosby and Larry Nassar have destroyed careers and they ARE IN JAIL. They are why Matt Lauer's and Harvey Weinstein's careers are over. YES THIS IS HOW IT WORKS. OMG what is the solution??? don't rape people, that is the solution. By arguing this you are saying we should let Paterno, Cosby, Nassar, Lauer and Weinstein off the hook. Is that what you want? Is Kavanaugh THAT big a deal to you? Hell no |

She sounded emotional and compelling. However, the gaps, inconsistencies and lack of corroboration are overwhelming. She suffers the most traumatic event of her life and can't recall how she got home despite being stranded miles from home in the pre-cell phone age yet specifically remembers she had a single beer? Not credible. |

From a political standpoint, it would seem logical that Republicans would want to tank him. It would give their base a reason to come out for the mid terms. If the court is already set the base wont care. It could mean the difference between keeping and losing the Senate. Its even riskier for the Republicans to put him on from a legal standpoint. Wouldn't it be better for the Republicans to let him go, retain the Senate and pick a more upstanding conservative jurist? Even if the Republicans still lost the Senate I don't think this group would have any reservations about appointing and confirming someone as lame ducks.
I don't get why they are digging in. From a legal standpoint what happens if the FBI finds out that Brett Kavanaugh perjured himself in his testimony or enough people come forward making statements that he lied under oath? Is the Justice department required to prosecute him for perjury? Can a supreme court justice be sent to jail? What if the ABA disbars him? Can a sitting SJ remain on the court if he's been disbarred for perjuring himself during the nomination period? |

Yes, this is how trauma works. Have you not been paying attention?! |

This makes sense. She was a victim and her memory failed her. Much more sense than the raging drunk belligerent entitled frat boy asshole raped her and doesn't remember. Yep |

Of course. They’re about as partisan as they come. |
