It’s not a criminal trial @JeffFlake it’s a character background check. #DelayTheVote
But to rub dirt in the faces of sexual assault survivors by not even giving them the courtesy of examining their claims is sickening, horrifying, and delegitimizes the SCOTUS and the Senate itself #DelayTheVote
Daisy, they have. Let’s be honest it’s not your team so you hate them. Between the Trumpers and you all this nation is being torn apart.
The claims came up after the FBI performed their (6) background checks. No law enforcement investigations in to the assault claims have been conducted. I’ve heard “they already investigated” as a conservative talking point this week. I urge you to find better news sources
This was not a trial, @JeffFlake, it was an interview for a seat on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh failed miserably. He was belligerent, he lied, he was baldly partisan, and he behaved appallingly toward Senators who questioned him. Even if you don't believe Ford, he is not fit.
Alternate take: He was angry and upset for having his reputation smeared, not only its effect on him but his family. Just because you don't believe him, there's no evidence that he lied. The Democrats are willing to do anything to stop his appointment and were rightly called out.
Merrick Garland.
Not confirmed, following the very precedent set by a ranking Democrat. But they didn't try to ruin his reputation either.
No one tried to ruin Gorsuch that way either. Wonder why. All of these politicians degrade our democracy with their antics. But they don't get to cry politics when they've followed the exact same script themselves. I believe Ford, and I believe Kavanaugh is unfit.
@JeffFlake What you do know is that Kavanaugh is NOT fit. Period. End of story.
Doubt. A word powerful enough to not allow someone a lifetime appointment to the supreme court.
that is not the standard for an appt to the supreme court, and in any case if the truth is important, an FBI investigation is warranted
Your colleagues deep-sixed the potentially corroborating evidence you purport to seek.
What does it mean @flake, when a judge lies!
That does not apply when you don't look for corroborating evidence. This also isn't part of the system of justice. This entire statement is completely invalid.
Ask yourself, @JeffFlake , why you're thinking in these when this is a job interview. If you were hiring a Chief of Staff, and the candidate had been accused of a violent crime during the reference check, would you hire her anyway, investigate, or move to the next good candidate?
The reason we try and look at facts and evidence. If after that you made this statement I’d understand it. Right now, to me, you’ve made an invalid statement, Flake. @JeffFlake
That is only true if you INVESTIGATE! But when you deny witnesses their day in court and you act as though victims didn't exist and you ignore character witnesses.....YOU'RE WRONG!
Did he do it? Need investigate it but due to lack of evidence and seeing his performance yesterday, including a lie about something so inconsequential as watching Dr. Ford’s testimony, why in the hell would you want him. C’mon @JeffFlake you can do better.
Let’s look at the other side of this. Let’s presume he is actually innocent. He would have every single right to be angry. Can you imagine the stress of the last days if he is innocent? If he is capable of the actions in accusations, then his testimony, yes, would be alarming.
In the worst a time's a man's personality is based on how they in times of adversity, if he can't handle stress; he has no business being on the Supreme Court. MLK was beaten, stabbed and unfairly jailed and he didn't scream and yell at 85-year-old women!
