    Perhaps Kavanaugh doesn’t want the FBI to investigate because of the other shit they might dig up in the process that would also be disqualifying.

    Well they have already done a background check on him. From what I understand it’s more on a national security level. I presume he passed that one.

    Well, look at poll numbers of white males. I’ve sadly become convinced that a majority of white males in this country are raging fucking assholes who believe things...well, the way that Franklin Graham believes. And add to that a chunk of women who have been raised in that culture - to believe that a man assaulting them is THEIR fault, for dressing like a harlot etc - yeah. We’re a fucked up place.

    I take the position that holding a woman down and trying to remove her clothes against her will, and covering her mouth when she tries to scream in terror/anguish is not just a crime, it’s incredibly wrong - morally, ethically, and any other way you could look at it. And let’s be clear...that puts me AT ODDS with not just GOP thought leadership, but their FAITH leaders.

    Time for a cleansing meteor strike.

    Tad over dramatic but I’ve come to understand that is your style. Also uses a broad generalizations but not a big deal when taking the moral high ground.

    They set an absolutely arbitrary deadline, based on a fear of losing the house and losing their chance to jam a justice through the nomination process. It's the high of hypocrisy to say that there's no time to investigate when the GOP demanded at least a year to fully vet Obama's nominee and wouldn't even meet him in their private office(s).

    Then it would not be arbitrary right?

    Just to let you know, I'm negging you not because I disagree with your statement (which I do, btw), but because you're making such a lazy fucking argument and dismissing everything I said.

    Also worth noting: the GOP holds all the cards here. If they think she's lying or her friends are lying, they have all the subpoena power to test the veracity of their claims. It's strange that they're doing absolutely NOTHING to investigate the claims and to investigate previous perjury before the SJC.

    I appreciate your explanation on the negg. I am not sure what I dismissed. She was sexually assaulted by someone who is now being nominated for the supreme court. I repeated what you wrote as fact and stated the nominee should not move on.

    I won't pretend to think that you do not know your answer to the second quote. GOP have set themselves a deadline before midterms and this last minute accusation, which can derail this nominee, looks to extend it beyond November. Also, as another poster has already pointed out to say NOTHING has been investigated is probably not accurate.

    No, you're being intentionally obtuse in saying " that wasn’t her only consideration", making it sound like she's being unreasonable, when she's receiving death threats and getting doxxed and all of conservative media is painting her as some political zealot. It's not like people's homes have been burned down when credibly accusing prominent GOP politicians or anything right? 

    I'm not being argumentative, it's that I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt when you consistently make misleading statements about a woman who faced sexual assault. 

    Now that we know she faced sexual assault I am not sure what else needs to be discussed. Kavanaugh needs to remove himself from consideration and let the FBI do investigation #7.

    you don't understand. she doesn't have to PROVE anything. maybe you do understand and you are just obfuscating. i dunno. all she has to do is appear credible. that's it. she's basically put her entire career on the line because...i mean, because she dislikes this random dude nominated for the supreme court? because she's an underground political operative? why would she do this?

    I guess that is fair to the one being accused.
