Imagine if he'd smoked pot back in the day? He'd be done. His nomination would be over, there'd be a huge drug scandal and he'd be forced to resign.
Also, wasn't it T4F that defended Ford earlier in this thread for getting absolutely smashed but suddenly has a problem with alcohol?
Someone making a credible accusation- especially under oath- IS evidence.
And then we investigate to get more evidence.
That's always how this works. That's not new. The notion that we don't investigate unless we've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that something happened is incorrect. That's never how this works.
And, again, as far as he said/she said goes- I have to remind everyone that Kavanaugh lied under oath in 2006, and he lied under oath repeatedly just a few days ago. He's currently less credible than Dr Ford.
Yeah, me and the ABA. We both just take these allegations seriously enough for an investigation out of pure political malice. I love how one man's denial has more weight than the accusations of three women- all of whom were calling for an FBI investigation. (people making up stories do NOT call for FBI investigations)
The only reason why people are pretending like it's not a big deal is because they want him on the Court- as though there are no other conservative SCOTUS candidates out there who haven't faced three credible sexual misconduct allegations, committees perjury during their confirmation hearings, and who have launched into blatant partisan attacks.
So yes, someone lying under oath during a defense of one of three allegations of sexual misconduct is disqualifying. And in any situation where three alleged victims are calling for an FBI investigation, and the accused looks terrified by the notion, lies under oath about it, and tries to deflect with blatant partisan conspiracy theories- yeah, I'm going to say there's a problem.
Should we legalize pot or should we just go straight prohibition now? What is the Democratic party platform exactly? Seems pretty ambiguous at the moment.
