They pretty much dismissed the FBI investigation because the outcome didn't serve their agenda.

What times we live in, I gotta tell you.

Most of what A H and C T said dealt with he said she said. In this instance(s) there are other witnessess. One said he was there and it didn't occur but doesn't want to testify - well put him under oath. With the new person - some say they remember hearing about it that night or the following morning. Put them under oath and see if they are credible.

The Repubs are saying a vote needs to occur - why the self imposed deadline? There is no reason for a deadline for such an important position.

"In this instance(s) there are other witnesses"

All of whom deny the accusations as far as I know.

"The Repubs are saying a vote needs to occur - why the self imposed deadline? There is no reason for a deadline for such an important position"

I agree, do an investigation, I just think it's a sham because if the FBI concludes he didn't do anything, it's not as if the liberals and the media are all going to admit he got screwed. None of them will admit that (you might, I mean the politicians and people on TV).

The reason for a deadline is that if he fails, they need to get someone else in before the midterms. If Trump makes another nomination, you can bet it will be that Catholic woman, can't recall her name. Feinstein hates her, Trump will pick her for that reason alone.

You don't know that but if an investigation occurs, then you can rightfully say "what more did you want to happen?"

Coney Barrett (I think)???

They don't "need" to get someone bf the midterms, they "want" to get someone before the midterms.

I thought it was they wanted someone before the start of the next supreme court session which I thought starts Oct 1??

"You don't know that "

I know what happened to Clarence Thomas after the FBI found nothing...and we are a LOT more polarized now.

"Coney Barrett (I think)???"

I think that's right.

'They don't "need" to get someone bf the midterms, they "want" to get someone before the midterms."

True, I desperately want someone conservative in there, before the midterms, although I feel there's little chance the dems take the senate. If the whole senate was up for re-election that would be different, but the GOP got amazingly lucky with which seats are up.

"I thought it was they wanted someone before the start of the next supreme court session which I thought starts Oct 1?? "

That could be too, that's an astute guess.

the reason for a deadline is lunatic democrats have no interest in fairness or process...they have organized from the beginning to prevent and ensure that Kavanaugh is never confirmed by any means necessary and will continue to do so if they are not stopped......censure feinstein, censure hiromo.... hold the vote....
