Exactly.  Art Biles is not entitled to a lifetime appointment as Texas head coach even though accusations against him can not be DNA proven.  There is smoke, lots of smoke.  You pass on this candidate and consider the next.  This is NOT a criminal trial.

As another poster mentioned, women, thankfully, are not a united bloc politically. Lots of women think poorly of the accuser, probably in much worse terms than even myself. For every self-righteous one, there is a woman who identifies with Kavanaugh as being falsely accused as a result of a male in their life who has gone through something similar. Other women know this is a DemocRAT dirty trick and don’t buy it. Add those women to white men and you have the winning Republican coalition that exists.

Citing demographic reality and what comprises the Republican coalition makes me a white nationalist? Interesting conclusion. Didn’t the Quinnipiac poll on Beto vs. Cruz say the same that the Republican candidate is overwhelmingly supported by white men?

I know a lot of white men.  The number who support anything this administration does is down to the following: olds, racists, religious freaks.  I can only think of two people I know who support Trump without falling into one of those categories.  The first one is a republican political operative who I sense isn't crazy about Trump, but party over country.  The other I have no explanation for.

It's not 2016. That coalition is falling apart thanks to Donald Trump.

Soms girl got date raped in high school, that must mean that this coward’s story about Kavanaugh is true!!! According to the esteemed Senator from Hawaii all of us men are collectively guilty. 

Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono blasted “the men in this country,” blaming them for sexual assault and urged them to “just shut up and step up” amid allegations of misconduct against President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

The Democrats don’t realize they are stoking a huge backlash by the dominant players in American society, white men, who are going to show their disgust with this farce in the voting booth

Bold GOP move when dealing with a attempted rape victim-    Do as we say, as we say to do it, or we will ram our member through despite any objection!

She is demanding an FBI investigation. This is most certainly a criminal matter. And he is in fact entitled due process including the presumption of innocence.

She is not demanding an FBI criminal investigation. She wants them to do a background investigation before she appears before the committee.

This is not a criminal matter.

Yes I understand, but it still reminds me of this movie scene:

Jefe: So when do you think Carmen will open up her flower to you? 

El Guapo: Tonight, or I will kill her!

That was a very respectful letter. The attorney should have the professionally courtesy to respond to their requests rather than ignore them.

The fact that Grassley had to agree to hear her at all shows that Dr. Ford is in a good position to dictate terms.

I am not sure it's the FBI's role to resolve a political issue. To me this is a criminal issue that needs to be investigated and resolved.

Interesting ending to the letter.  You have by Friday at 10AM or there will be no hearing Monday.  

Dr. Ford should ignore Grassley and go on 60 Minutes Sunday night. 

Then show up at the Senate ready to testify under oath Monday morning.

some of yall must be related to kavanaugh, you are taking this so personally. 

it's almost like you are deathly afraid that some delay or investigation or prolonged hearings will result in turnabout being fair play when it comes to stone-walling supreme court candidates. i wonder if you realized back when you were cheering it that the shoe could somehow be on the other foot.

i'm sorry your guy is accused of attempted rape. but at some point, your humanity should win out over your partisanship. 

to say she's refusing to tell her story is frankly bullshit. she's asked to talk with the fbi as part of an investigation into this guy's background, which means, if caught lying, she's going to federal penitentiary. 

the republicans DO NOT WANT an fbi investigation into this allegation. they want to ramrod this guy through.

why?

it's real simple to me.

Hey Rumpelstiltskin, you might want to grab a coffee and read a newspaper or two.  It's pretty clear you've been fast asleep for a long time.

Exactly.  I enjoyed watching USC get fucked with a blown safety call just like everyone else here.  I get it.  I have 3 cousins and 2 uncles that went to USC and I enjoyed given them shit the whole game and listening to them whine, it was probably as delicious as some of you regard lib tears.   But imagine we had to play USC everyday, and they got to choose the refs every other day, and even change the rules mid game.  At some point this would not be fun any more.  It's probably to late now, but the whole lets fuck the other "team" for tears doesn't translate to governance very well.  When you play little tricks and ignore decorum, respect and honor, it comes back to bite you in the ass.

or, you know, catch up with the news, understand the issue about which you'd like to comment and maybe read the last several pages of the thread before coming in here with your "this is clearly a criminal matter" hot take. this is a political process and a background clearance process, neither of which have anything at all to do with due process.

The most eye opening thing in this fiasco is how important Kavanaugh evidently is to the Republicans.

They are sacrificing so much political capital for this guy it makes me think there must be some serious payoff for getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

As opposed to any other GOP stooge Justice.
