Was speaking about an obscure event from decades ago. If there's nothing on the record what do they have to research? It's not likely a family member is going to be like, oh and that time he assaulted someone.

You're check was for clearance I'm assuming, I don't think SCOTUS have that.

And you know this how, exactly? They don't make any additional inquiries? And IF that's true, that's more reason for Feinstein to have gotten this on the record before they started the check.


Sure smells like a tactic - everything is a tactic.

I care. If he did it, I don't want him on SCOTUS. But any rational person would be very skeptical here.

"the GOP haven't Sailed on the USS morality for decades"

And there's all kinds of data to support that.

I don't know. If they both testify and she comes off as credible it could be enough to derail his appointment. I also found it interesting he said today he wasn't at that party...if a single person fingers him as being there he's likely done.

Generally speaking I don't like things playing out like this bug given how hard the GOP worked to hide his record I guess it's the bed they made. I'd still like some answers on how he went from being deeply in debt to instantly paying off all his bills and buying a nice house in about 12 months just in time for his nomination.

Well she named a "witness" who vehemently denies the event, so there goes much of her credibility. But to you, people who help the accusation will have instant credibility, people who refute the accusation instantly have some ulterior motive. Have you noticed that?

"if a single person fingers him as being there he's likely done.'

Yes, especially if the person who puts him there, is the CEO of Planned Parenthood. Let's let her decide.

Because there is a Statute of Limitations. That and this smells like something fabricated. So at best it comes down to a he said she said.

If there was something today (I don't know if you have kids) and something like this happened to one of yours you would want it followed through and investigated.

Oh, and the GOP surely does not corner the market in Sexual Abusers. It is something bad people do and there is no shortage of either in both parties.

Didn't he claimed when asked, that he said he never molested anybody. So if the accusation is true he lied under oath and that should disqualify me. It's going to come down to he said she said as you said.

good...then the democrats can stop demanding morality from the republicans and screaming hypocrite when there is an issue...the republicans are at least nearly as bad as the democrats

an adult Kennedy killed a woman and ran for president, spent decades in the senate and is a celebrated democrat icon

an adult Clinton likely raped a woman, sexually abused others and ruined the lives of others who dared to come forward and he served two terms as president and is a celebrated democrat icon

if a teenage Kavanaugh did what he is being accused he's still more qualified to serve than either of those two dirt bags :bl:

If he did it, he should get the boot. There's no basis to conclude he did it with any certainty. The accuser named one witness to the assault, and the witness vehemently denies seeing any assault.

He has also had six separate background checks done. Tuned up squat.

Her credibility is tainted, and that's putting it mildly. You need something more than he said, she said.

:

And Clinton's wife used her pulpit as First Lady, to slut shame his victims on national TV. And she qualifies as a feminist hero and presidential candidate.

TDF we have our share of weirdos unfortunately. in the case if the men you showed, there was a lot more evidence than a 35 year old accusation, which again was refuted by the one witness the accuser says was there.

Compare this to the case if Keith Ellison, the #2 at the DNC, who has been accused, and i believe ( not certain) there is a 911 call that appears to back up the accusers claims. no one is demanding that Ellison step down.

No argument there, just pointing out that the other side hasn't booked a trip on this cruise either.
