lol so true. To surrender now and Mike Lee is such a terrible suggestion.
-
Typical establishment Republican take. This is why the Dems can run these smear campaigns b/c they know establishment Reps who want to pal around with them will buckle. If the shoe was on the other foot, the Dems wouldn't care what anyone thinks - they'd already have confirmed.

It's a very good column, good analysis of the current situation. When it first began, I thought if the GOP were smart, they'd withdraw him, & select another candidate ASAP. I reject the notion that this would've happened to Gorsuch now. He was a strong candidate, regardless (1/2)
-
whether 1 agrees w/ his positions. A credible accuser, yearbook, roommate... Etc. If it did happen to Gorsuch, I can see him asking for an FBI investigation to clear his name. I can't see Gorsuch being described by anyone as "incoherently drunk". All of these stinks. (2/2)

I understand your points. My concern is that ditching Kavanaugh at this point just enables future tactics like this where a claim with no factual or evidential basis is simply thrown at a nominee to derail him/her. At some point doesn't GOP have to stand up and cry "Foul!"?

It would be nice if both party hadn’t backed themselves into such a corner that we all have no good options now. There is no out for the people involved at this point. The judge will always be tainted with this allegation and the women will always be political liars.
-
That's exactly what the GOP wants. It's why they refuse to have a serious investigation. The best case scenario for them is he said-she said and to "plow through" the allegations. Remember, this is the group who ignored Garland for a year. They're ethically bankrupt.
-
Tbh the Democrats aren’t any better right now, they handled this incredibly poorly. I have no clue if the women are telling the truth,they should get to speak, but the politicians are not helping them at this point.Too much drama from both sides and they are caught in the middle.
-
That's not even close to being accurate. Ford requested confidentiality and is stuck deciding between how to end her privacy forever and being ignored by the GOP leadership. All of the staff and leaders have already said she's irrelevant. Why expose yourself for no gain?
-
Look at the games they're playing. Ed Whelan and Kavanaugh's crew concocted a bogus story to blame the attacks on an innocent, middle school teacher. They named him. That's where we are at ethically with the GOP. It needs to be put to sleep.
-
I’m agreeing with you that the GOP is being awful. I won’t ignore the fact that the Dems have made this harder on the women also though. They had other options they could have used while still keeping he name out of it, they choose not to use those. Both sides are awful
-
Dems may have made this worse. We don't have enough facts to know for sure. I know I wouldn't want to be in Feinstein's position of protecting Ford's identity and pushing back against a horrible nominee. It's lose lose, especially when the GOP men don't give a shit.
-
You are exactly right about that. No one had good options

Great article, but Senate Ds will sink to any level to attack conservative judicial nominees. Recall their generic attack statements written before the President named Brett Kavanaugh. They've already labeled Amy Coney Barrett a religious fanatic. They'd turn on Mike Lee as well.

So after we dump Kavanaugh but before our next candidate, when do we move to the alternate dimension where Democrats aren't inventing false testimony to slander our nominees?

And what makes you so confident that the smear machine will just accept a conservative judge on the court? Don’t you see what’s going on here? Dems have been given too much, hence the character assassination of a good man. Apparently conservative white men need not apply Matt

Cruz already was offered seat that went to Gorsuch, he emphatically turned it down. For better or worse he prefers being a politician. But I’m all for Lee as a Hail Mary so long as pass actually reaches end zone in time. Though Ronan Farrow prob has Lee piece in back pocket lol
