You're using the wrong tense here, because what happened is done. What the dems should have done was release the letter as soon as they received it instead of at the 11th hour, so it could be more fully investigated. They knew about this back in July, and I don't believe that they sat on it because they wanted to protect her privacy.

Conversely they could have done a substantive investigation whose goal was fact finding as much as possible instead of being done as fast as possible.


These things are important. It's bigger than Kavanaugh and should be taken seriously. Now there will always be a black mark on Kavanaugh and SCOTUS because of some mad dash for short term political gain.

The same was said of Thomas, he has turned out to be an excellent judge.

The left would have bitched and moaned about any conservative judge.

You're mad because the supreme court now has a majority of judges who don't look at the constitution as a living, breathing document.

Yes, past tense. It's too late now.

The dems fucked it up but that's no excuse. You don't get to use timing as a mulligan from doing the right thing.

cwolff is so pathetic he thinks a mere accusation should be enough to withdraw a nominee. Gee, I can't see this being abused.

And you don't get to use timing as a poison pill to prevent doing the right thing which is what you and your side has tried.

Did you ever confront him about it? Did you ever say anything to the babysitter? Do you think that since you were so young, perhaps you don't quite remember how it actually happened and you might just be confusing regular horseplay between 2 kids as he was attempting to murder you?

What would you have us do? Just take the word of Dr. Ford.. who named 4 people who couldn't collaborate her story at all? There is nothing in the past 30 years of this man's life.. a life he has dedicated to public service.. that would give any indication that this story was true.

You would rather we just ruin this man's life because you disagree with him politically.

That's pathetic, petty and small.

It wasn't too big of an obstacle.. given that he's now confirmed and he is a Justice.

But the circumstances are completely different here.

So, because you politically disagree with him, it's ok to smear and ruin the man's life.. because these things are so important.

The black mark is on the Democrats on this one. They are the ones that behaved like spoiled little kids who can't have their way.

Glad you lost, you deserve it.
