whatever happened almost forty years ago, when kavanaugh was 17, is irrelevant to his suitability now, to serve as a justice on the supreme court of the land. I disagree with this statement. If he is currently lying about what he did 40 years ago, that in my opinion would disqualify him. If a thorough investigation shows nothing to support Dr. Ford's or the other accusers assertions, I believe Judge Kavanaugh has the credentials to be a very effective supreme court judge.

It is all about stalling until after the election. When he is gone, the next guy Trump puts up for scrutiny will be more middle of the road assuming that at least one of the houses go Democrat. That is what they are hoping for.
So many guns, so little time!

That is what they are hoping for. It may be stalling or it may be as the Democrats describe. What did the Republicans expect after not taking up the Merick Garland nomination at all. That was 293 days. Both parties are wrong.

tom: interesting that you changed the scenario, in order to disagree with the statement that what happened almost forty years ago is irrelevant...obviously if kav is proven to have lied recently under oath, then that would most likely sink him...that is why the fbi stall should be avoided, if the votes are there now to confirm kav...if not, then trump's gotta roll the dice and hope the feds find nothing that suggests kav is fibbin...

Newt gets it http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/09/2...h-travesty.html"Fords testimony was emotionally compelling. It is clear that something happened to her but she knows as a professional psychologist that 36 years after an event, people can vividly remember things that didnt actually happen." Things are going to get hot for the Dems and the accusers when the subpoenas start flying.

tom: and agreed, garland's nomination should have been given the traditional due process of advise and consent by the senate...to not do so set a bad example for future confirmation hearings...
however, if obama had negotiating skills, he could have at least tried to cut a deal with mcconnell...as history has proven obama is very lacking in the interpersonal skills necessary to turn ones enemies into ones friends, at least long enough to get them to do what you want...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

That is what they are hoping for. It may be stalling or it may be as the Democrats describe. What did the Republicans expect after not taking up the Merick Garland nomination at all. That was 293 days. Both parties are wrong. Both parties? harry reid invented the nuclear option. Why exactly would a Republican have even the slightest obligation, moral or otherwise, to vote for a dem nominee? Is it really being suggested that a garland was an ideological equivalent of a Justice Scalia? barry had Republican support that confirmed both his previous nominees. It meant nothing, or at least he didn't hesitate to sweep the last bit of senate traditions and decorum right out the door, eh? The last prez wanted to tip the balance flat out knowing he would not get Republican support. Regular plain ole dems are just dupes. All barry was looking for was an election year wedge to stir up the base for hill. An excellent jurist means nothing more to dems than garland was going to be solely responsible for swinging America to the left by legislating from the bench. His nomination intent was by no means to keep all Americans equal. Hmmm, Republicans didn't take up a hearing as are allowed by the rules, and a booker, harris and hirono can say the foulest things without consequence, because we're all the same. Sheesh.

Too bad for America...Geo Maybe so, Geo, but where would we be as a nation if the R's were still playing politics as if they are door mats? What would a jeb have said in response to this round of hyper borking, some mexican language platitude?
