Does anyone seriously think there are going to be any “winners” in all this?
It is my feeling that Kavanaugh is still highly qualified to be on the Court.
The fact that he has had years when he was in ever-increasing positions of power; often surrounded by young, female students, clerks and assistants; tells me that this man has no pattern of sexual misconduct.
Was he a stupid horn-dog in High School and College like a lot of us?
Probably. But he appears to have left those days behind him.
Another point for the DEMS. If they are in fact putting all their efforts into destroying this man’s chances…beware of who gets nominated next.
Well I mostly say that, because to my knowledge, the GOP stalling out Obama’s SCOTUS pick wasn’t really frowned upon by independents. They seemed to do just fine in 2016. I could be wrong though.
I think two things will happen: the republicans will try to play the same game, and eventually the American people will get sick of the game of destroying the opposition by unsubstantiated accusation and realize how dangerous it is.
Who knows, the American people may even wake up to the fact that the Corporate Media Conglomerates are poison, I don’t care who you voted for, and that the two parties we have now are corrupt and toxic, and need to be replaced. But I’m not that optimistic.
No they haven’t. They delayed a vote, they didn’t try to destroy a career with unsubstantiated accusations. That’s a different game with different consequences for the unwitting participants.
Fair point. The GOP ‘could’ have done better with independents. Maybe stalling out the SCOTUS nomination had a meaningful impact, but I seriously seriously doubt it.
