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.
