They already forced their own to resign over sexual harassment claims long before this Kavanaugh thing.


They didn't "force" anything and many of the resignees' greatest defenders were their colleagues. And keep in mind THOSE incidents were both more recent and with actual, verifiable evidence (especially since Al Franken took a photo of himself doing it). And long before this Kavanaugh thing, not only did they not force a sex offender to resign, but they elected him president. And then when that president had a completely inappropriate #MeToo moment with an intern, they defended him despite massively abusing his office and lying under oath.

I don't really see why the two ideas are mutually exclusive. Its about BOTH stalling and an investigation.


If you mean both stalling and desperately trying to find anything to derail his nomination, duh. If you mean investigating this claims because they seriously think something happened, obviously not. They'd back *any* claim to push their agenda.

The republicans made a piss poor choice in their approach of this situation. They thought that because they were the majority party they could just ignore the whole thing and push Kavanaugh through without it blowing up in their faces. They failed to realize that with the current political environment their best approach would have been to allow an investigation without all the drama.


...except they literally didn't push it. Had they actually ignored it, they would have just moved to a vote.
