Kavanaugh has an accuser

[Andrew]

It appears that the agreement within the committee is that a one week (or less) investigation is to be requested and after that the full senate will vote. It also appears that Donald has ordered the FBI to conduct an investigation but the exact terms of reference for the investigation are not clear from what I have seen/heard so far.

Mark Judge is willing to participate in the investigation

let's see where the investigation goes and what is turned up.

Even without an investigation and even without the accusations judge Kavanaugh is much too partisan to sit as a justice on the SCOTUS. But I am guessing that because he is partisan as a Republican he will get support from Republicans in the senate and in the streets.

A major problem in the US is that so many things are so badly partisan. You talk about Kavanaugh and his Republican support, and you're entirely right that it's a desperately bad situation that so much hinges on his Republican leanings, but let's not pretend the Democrats are any different. The whole delay seems to be little more than a partisan attempt to block on their part and it's not as if the Democrats in the senate and the streets would be any different were it a left-leaning nominee for the Supreme Court.

Not everybody is a Republican or a democrat. I am neither.

You aren't a US citizen, so you can't be either. I realize lots of non-citizens are registered to vote and do vote (to forbid them is illegal in California) but theoretically, only citizens of the USA over the age of 18 can register to vote (and of they choose, designate a party preferernce). You can no more be a Republican or Democrat in the USA than I can be a Social Democrat in Germany.

This is by way of a postscript:
It was a Republican who arranged the one week period for an FBI investigation so while it is true that 10 Democrat senators on the committee voted no for the candidate it took the addition of one Republican on the committee to cause the week for an FBI investigation to happen. The USA may be desperately partisan but no so completely so that there are no people who are not completely wedded to their political tribe.

Smh!
Did you seriously want to toss that out there? because you make it sound like you WANT this man to be guilty and that is down right disgusting.

Of course. She said it, he did it. Simple. (????)
And it couldn't rationally be that she was drugged and raped (which no-one has doubted), by anyone other than Kavanaugh. Simple. (????)

If you are referring to Dr Ford (and I kind of doubt that such is the case) then she made no claim about being drugged and raped. But one of the other women did say she was drugged and raped but has not, as far as I know, said that judge Kavanaugh was the man who raped her.

I must admit I find the allegations from Dr Ford to be seriously lacking in credibility. I have no idea whether or not she suffered some form of assault but find the claims that Brett Kavanaugh was involved to be improbable.

On the other hand I am somewhat concerned about the issue of his alcohol consumption during his university days. I don't care one way or the other whether he was a choirboy or a habitual drunk during his university days but from what I can tell he has testified under oath that he was only a moderate drinker, and if that proves to be untrue it casts a major shadow over his suitability to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Define moderate? I don't think some people have the same definitions when it comes to drinking if they're heavy drinkers. Sometimes they even forget how much they used to drink...or how little. Perspective is subjective.

it actually means he lied under oath and perjured himself

Well its not like they can issue a breathalyzer for 36 years ago.
He admitted that sometimes he had one too many beers but never blacked out. I have had too many beers before but I never blacked out. He obviously isn't a drunkard, and funny how democrats can elect former marijuana users which is illegal... this is also a reply to Tango, im pressed for time lol just making a quick statement

 

[Josiah]

So NOW the issue is he (like Ms. Ford) may have drank beer when he was a teenager.... 36 years ago? THAT is what disqualifies him to be a judge now?

Ah... are we going to investigate all public figures for what they did as minors, decades ago? President Clinton admitted to smoking "pot" - and NO BODY CARED - no one in the press or in the Congress suggested that disqualified him to be president.

I was an amazingly good kid when I was a teen.... but there are a few things I'd rather not be made public and that NO LONGER AT ALL is a part of my life. And how PAST in our life, in what NO LONGER is a part of our life, how PAST must we go? Obviously at least 36 years, but 40 years? 50 years ago in a person's life? Obviously when we are 17, but when we were 13? 8? 2?

I agree Josiah but when it comes to sexual things they will go back 50 years and be ok with that

Some folks love all that teen sex stuff.... It DOES sell, it DOES get people to tune in and buy the newspapers....

Its a modern day schism in the American Government and sooner or later the people will have to address the issue or become further divided, "divided we fall" and an American reform will take place, could be violent I pray not... but there may be a civil war again in the future, if that happens the world may get involved and well, this may lead up to the usurping of America as we know it. They say "history repeats itself" and I find myself wondering if this will be another attack and pagan/heathen persecution on Christianity.
One nation under God!

 

[Andrew]

Then again there has been a political 'schism' in America for some time now.
As for the 'case' I guess we will find out soon.
