Blue bubble's caught up in the partisan fight too. Kavanaugh's position on abortion today is evidence he committed attempted rape in high school. Other white, prep school, ivy league men have committed sexual assault, which makes him more suspect. He's more symbol than man. 10/x
That's separate from any of the points I raised, and there are multiple questions tied up in there. On the specific insistence that Blasey Ford's testimony could only be on Monday (today) and holding it on Thursday was giving in to a nefarious plot, I think that was unreasonable.

You're framing dropping Kavanaugh as a neutral, zero sum outcome "for the good of the country" when it would actually be a demoralizing loss for the right and a grotesque incentive for the left to knock down any nominee with uncorroborated accusations = Hecklers veto on steroids.

A Franken gross Weinstein incentive Cosby for Weiner the Spitzer left?? The accusations—two women, for now, plus the creepy Yale-intern thing—are uncorroborated to the extent that they remain uninvestigated. Shall we keep them that way?

The first step in an investigation is that the victim goes on the record and makes a complaint. That this alleged victim wants an investigation before she talks or demands the accused speak before the accuser is a complete inversion of the system and I don't take her seriously.

The FBI investigation would be to inform Senators as to what questions to ask; if she were lying, she'd *fear* such an investigation. She's also sensibly showing distrust of what Kavanaugh's defenders will do with what she has to say. What are the Republicans afraid of??

This is Democrat talking point nonsense. The Senate Judiciary Committee is an investigative body. An investigation poses no risk to her. Going on the record poses substantial risk which is why she's doing everything she can to avoid it while keeping the accusation alive.

The Committee doesn't have the investigative expertise the FBI has, but ok! —the Committee can talk to dozens of witnesses who want not to be publicly identified. An FBI investigation poses the risk of felony to any liar. What are Republicans afraid of??

We're afraid of power mad totalitarians who will tell any lie, ruin any life, and stoop to any level to hold on to the over sized power of the Supreme Court. We know you're desperate and place no principle above power. Prepare to lose.
