Current Events > Tomorrow morning, a probable rapist will be appointed to the Supreme Court.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Today he said he was innocent, but declined to ask for an FBI investigation to clear his name 16 times.
His accuser asked for an FBI investigation 6 times.
Only a man with something to hide would act this way.

This clip shows all you need to see. Great job, America.

Probable get a new meaning overnight?

'Probable' based on what evidence?
---

I'm sad too. It hurts. I just feel let down by society over and over and don't even feel like I had high expectations at all.

Did you even watch the hearing? Despite bringing in a fucking prosecutor, the republicans were unable to poke holes in her story. They arent even denying that the event happened anymore. They are saying it is all a case of mistaken identity (but still refuse to conduct a proper investigation to get to the bottom of it).

I dunno, republicans and Kavanaugh are mysteriously blocking the FBI from gathering evidence. For someone claiming to be innocent, he is 100% behaving like he is guilty.

If she attacked Ford's story, you'd be qq'ing about 'attacking a rape victim on national television.'

In Ford's case, she doesn't know when it happened, every person she named said that the party in question didn't happen (including her best friend at the time), her story has changed numerous times over the past month, AND she gets a polygraph while on vacation (about something she supposedly didn't want to come forward about, and she doesn't remember who paid for it).

Are you really suggesting NONE of that raises any red flags to you?

Yeah, I mean, let's ignore the fact that if he gets in, the conservative side will have a stronger leaning.

This couldn't possibly orchestrated in any way. No one has ever lied before to get their way.

Whatever, bad things continue to happen, the powerless are completely unable to affect it and hteir screeching is just annoying, this is why I'm going to start embracing nihilism, why feel anything at all when it's always a negative feeling?

Or a man who doesn't want to have his life turned inside out because of false allegations. It's clear he's likely going to end up on the SC, why would he care if you believe lies?

Everything has two sides, but you just want to bitch so much that you can't understand that.

They're trying to turn this into a character assassination case. They're not even trying to clear his name. They're just like "why did you guys wait huh?"

They aren't 'blocking' anything. The FBI has autonomy on confirmations.

They stated weeks ago that they won't investigate this because there's zero evidence to support her story. They don't know where it was supposed to have happened, when it was supposed to have happened, or who was there.

There is literally nothing for them to investigate.

She DID. That was the whole point of bringing her in. The old republican men didnt want to be on camera tearing a rape victim apart, so they paid someone to do it for them. Are you honestly pretending that isnt what happened?

And sure, maybe those are red flags, but NOBODY on Kavanaugh's side is asking for an investigation. If I KNEW I was innocent, I would want the FBI to clear my name so I am not forever known as the rapist judge. Kavanaugh is doing the exact opposite. He is dodging further investigation. The dude is clearly hiding something.

They paid her to treat Ford with kid gloves.

100% FALSE. Stop making shit up. Go spread lies and propaganda elsewhere.
The FBI can investigate Ford's claims, but only if the White House asks the bureau to do so.

Isn't this a fallacy anyways? Like shoot, the whole "if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't care if someone is peeping through your phone without your permission." Maybe you just like your privacy?!?

Too late.

Because he spent a lifetime building a career, has personal pride, and a shred of dignity?

Well this what happens when you don't vote. Despite all the hype about the so called youth vote, millennials and under have some pretty poor participation rates. Well congratulations, we've lost the Courts for at least a generation, here's hoping it doesn't **** us over too much in the long run.

Once the public has an opinion about you. It's over , no matter.

Plus you're INNOCENT until proven guilty. Not really sure why this gets thrown out the window when it's a rape case. And it becomes guilty until proven innocent.

She has way too many holes and flags in her story. If this was any other criminal case it wouldnt even have wheels nvm this much attention

If you knew you were innocent, but there was no evidence to prove or disprove your guilt because it happened 3-4 decades ago, why would you want an investigation that is just going to be inconclusive? That makes you look guiltier than having no investigation at all.

No one can decisively say one way or the other what, if anything, happened. That's why you don't wait several decades to raise your accusations.

Had 6 FBI investigations.

It's not a trial, it's a job interview, in which case "innocent until proven guilty" is completely irrelevant

If Democrats in the swing states actually voted in the numbers that supposedly exist in those states, the election would've easily gone in Hilary's favor.

Tomorrow is the vote that matters. The rest is a formality.

I agree that in the casual sense of the world he was on trial today. But you don't get to use both definitions as it suits your flimsy point.
---

At this point I'd rather have them find a new originalist to nominate to the SCOTUS instead. I think they have enough time before midterms. They actually have until January I believe until the new Congress takes office, so I think that is enough time. No falling for any tricks on this new one however, the Dems will come up with some new excuse and they need to be instantly shut down.

Its not a flimsy point. Sorry it shatters the narrative. Going around saying hey...you're a rapist...to someone without there being any proof is pretty low and like the exact opposite of what we stand for as a country. But hey whatever I get it man hes a Republican so all is fair.
---

Is there any evidence? Or is it just he said she said?

It doesn't shatter my narrative at all. I've come to understand that a good portion of people I share the world with would simply never believe a woman's rape accusation on its own. You find that virtuous. I find it hideous.
