See, the problem with having such a razor-thin majority is that if even one of your members has a soul, you will be forced to do a common-sense background check on a man accused of attempted rape before putting them on the supreme court. Mitch McConnell must be super disappointed that his he-said she-said show trial didn't work, and someone actually wants to have a real investigation.

In no sane universe does someone try to appoint someone to the supreme court without having an acutal investigation into serious allegations. The fact that it even got to this point is absurd. Thank god that one of the senators who is retiring decided to put common sense ahead of politics for once.

Who gives a shit. Have an investigation. If you are so sure he is innocent, then the investigation will show that. The only reason NOT to is if you are afraid of what they might find. Having an independant investigation is non-partisan common sense.

Would you still say that if, were he found to be clean, his detractors would be required to cover the bill?

Of course not, though I bet you'd be fine with "his supporters have to cover it if he's dirty".

Trump wants to be the second coming of Teddy so badly.

It's also arguable that Ike was "republican" out of convenience.

Theoretically speaking, if the FBI does the investigation and says they have no evidence to back up Ford's claim, I wonder what the Democrats will say then.

False. Listen to the words of the great Joe Biden:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKZjR_n7R8w" data-time="


The FBI does not determine guilt or innocence, especially in the case of extremely vague allegations like the ones leveled at Brett Kavanaugh. What can they possibly investigate when the accuser won't say where the alleged assault took place, when it took place, or who was there? The Democrats' calls for an FBI investigation are just another tactic to stall the confirmation. When the investigation is over and the FBI hasn't concluded anything, Democrats will just come up with yet another excuse to vote no.

I'm sure those therapist notes with no names, plus the witnesses who didn't witness anything, in a location the accuser doesn't remember, are more than enough evidence.

I've already heard the "an accusation is enough to stop a nomination from proceeding. It's not a trial and the implication is what matters" argument a few times
