Folks, with the way Democrats and the far left have painted the Kavanaugh nomination as their own "Flight 93" moment, and the absence of ANY corroborating details, there is no reason - none - to believe his anonymous accuser.

None of the normal reasons to think an accuser would be telling the truth apply here. It's anonymous, and "stop the nomination at all costs or people will suffer" has been the rallying cry.

Why not just delay the nomination until we can investigate? Why do we have to have the vote next week? Why is it so important that he replace Kennedy before the next session of the court begins? What is the worst that could happen with more vetting?

It’s bizarre that Republicans want him on the court with questions about his finances, his past in politics and this moral cloud sitting over his head. Why not just clear the air?

I'm with
@DavidLat here; the questions about his finances don't strike me as particularly meaningful. I think the entire partisan nonsense on SCOTUS noms is a damn shame, and if I had my way, Garland would've had 90 votes.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Are you serious?!?!? He has thousands upon thousands of unexplained debt? My goodness, this is bad faith. You don’t want any of it explained?

I've got thousands in debt. I know plenty of people who have thousands in debt. He's bad at managing his finances ... why is this an issue? Unless there's some suggestion that he is or can be bought - and there isn't - it doesn't matter to me at all.

200K in credit card debt? Payments made on your mortgage by other people? Did it suddenly disappear on your disclosures as soon as you applied for a promotion? We literally have his financial disclosures and they’re very weird.

200K wasn't the amount of his credit card debt, it was the top end of the range on his disclosure form (50-200K, IIRC) which is the lowest disclosable range. There's a pretty big difference there.

You sure about that? This is just from one year. The minimum was $60K.pic.twitter.com/cxreWTapQr

If you are a Kavanaugh opponent, I think there are many other, more important grounds for opposing him than his personal finances (which if anything make him more relatable to average Americans, despite a background that's elite in many ways).
