Ya know, originally when the first allegation came up, I was not seriously concerned.
We all do stupid things when we are young without the realization of how that might effect our future. We live in the moment for the most part. As long as there was not pattern of behavior afterwards.
Then, a pattern emerged that can not be tested. While I am thankful for Senator Flake to do the right thing and hold his vote unless a FBI investigation moved forward. Of course, only Trump can order that.
All this talk of fairness and the hearings are not a trial but the Judiciary committee is somewhat a jury. The FBI will gather facts and they (the committee) will discern them and make a decision.
That is their job.
One has to be suspicious on the rush to put this through. Especially when Obama’s nominee was denied a floor vote for 293 days after passing through all of this stuff.
His nomination expired with his presidency.
McConell should have to eat his own words on that ’cause “there is a election coming and we should let the voters decide”.
But I say, just let him in and also proceed with the investigations and remove him from office when found guilty. Seems to be the less political and non-argumentative path for now. But we all know that you just can’t do that. It would look even worse if we had a Supreme Court Justus taken down for previous bad behavior. It would permanently mark our court system in a way that could not be reversed and question just how good our process is.
But, for each day, more information may spring-up on other behaviors.
I think he is doomed in the full house vote.
But I am getting restless for all the deception of process in a way that angers me and a bit of distaste for who we have become as a nation.
I do not aspire for this. We are no role model for anyone anymore.
Does anyone care about that. The big picture. I am embarrassed as a citizen.
Nobody will cure what ill’s themselves until they stop pointing fingers at each other.
If nobody demands better from their government, it will get worse.
BTW…
If Kavanaugh showed anything of himself at those hearings, he showed he is not a non-partisan impartial judge.
“WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND” so he says in disgust for democrats.
Hey, I’m not exactly happy with them either but he just showed me the number one reason I don’t want him to make it.
If legislators would quit trying to legislate with the court system there would not be any of this.
