No need to make it public. There were closed-door sessions in addition to the public hearings. And, it could have been offered with the accuser's name redacted.
Quote:The timing of the 65 women who vouch that the man didn't rape THEM would indicate that the administration was aware that someone might accuse Kavenaugh of rape.
How so?
Quote:No one has called it evidence but RR. An accusation does warrant investigation.
You would think. Yet, during the normally scheduled hearings, the accusation wasn't brought up. Go figure.
Quote:And Kavanaugh is not facing jail over this, the evidence does not have to be beyond a reasonable doubt for it to quite rightly derail his nomination. I don't have to have enough evidence to convict when choosing not to select a potential employee if I have merely sufficient reason to think they've committed a crime that would lead me to think they are not a good fit for my team. No one has a right to be a Supreme Court Justice.
Agreed, but...
Quote:Not to mention it's what, 50 days before the midterms?
Yes, delay in hope of securing a senate majority is the obvious intent.
Quote:I believe a precedent has been set that we should 'wait for the people to speak' before trying to rush through a Supreme Court nomination.
Then they should make that argument, instead of withholding charges during the regular hearings and springing them afterward.
Quote:Feinstein waited for the accuser's permission to go forward with it. She clearly would rather not have had to put herself out to the public if she didn't feel it was absolutely necessary to check Kavenaugh's appointment. She's already paying the predictable price for it.

Yep, we're just a bunch of deplorables.
And you forgot Muslims.
