State of the union?

The speech was decent, and as you said, after his calls for unity, we'll go back to gridlock. Although he did offer to extend protection for DACA folks in exchange for the wall, he did offer something.

Much of the calls, not from the lunatic fringe was for an investigation and hearings on the Kavanaugh situation. I felt the Garland situation was the main reason to disqualify Kavanaugh, but that is me. I 100% support an investigation into this if warranted in to the LT Gov. I would suspect most reasonable people feel the same.

The vast majority of democrats in the senate voted against Kavanaugh, If a mere allegation is enough to disqualify him, why isn't it enough to disqualify the Lt Governor of VA?

As for Garland, he should have had a hearing and then been rejected. The American people have seen fit to give the Senate to the GOP, and they didn't do so, so that Obama could shift the court a mile to the left. As Obama used to like to say, at least when it suited him, elections have consequences.

I think most mainstream democrats were saying the allegation was enough to keep Kavanaugh off the court. But today's "mainstream" democrat was considered a whacko a few years ago. TDS is driving that party a million miles to the left of Nancy Pelosi. It's the stupidest thing they could do, but it's what they're doing.

.

Which happened after the hearings and investigation, right?
Have an investigation into the Lt Gov, 100% for it here, but I am not a voter in VA so that plus $2 will get a cup of coffee...

Yes. After an investigation (which produced allegations which had zero substantiation and a million holes), all the democrats except 2(?) still voted against him. So my point holds. The mere allegation was enough for the democrats to conclude he was ineligible.

Great. Have the accuser on the record and testify/investigate. That was the standard the GOP set for Kavanaugh.

Otherwise, this is a vague hit piece in a third rate 'news' outlet on the Lt. Gov with no follow up yet.

OK, is anyone on the left calling for an investigation of the Lt Governor? The shape that state is in, the dog catcher may be the last one left who can serve as governor. Everyone else in the line ahead, has serious issues.

Absolutely the Kavanaugh push back was 99% about Garland no matter how the right insist it was not.

As far as the lt gov goes I haven’t seen anything from this accusers about it? Yet

That's not what the left said. The left said it was because he was an abuser of women, which the left started caring about as soon as Bill Clinton stopped being useful.

"I haven’t seen anything from this accusers about it? Yet"

Then you aren't looking. And you won't hear about it on MCNBC or CNN.
