I do see the full picture, and that is why this hearing is so important. She does not show up, easy, he gets confirmed. If they both perform on the same footing and no other evidence is provided, then it would be up to each senator to make a decision when they vote. My personal vote would be to confirm, since I strongly believe innocent until proven guilty. My main point is that for such a critical and life time appointment all sides need to be heard.
Rest assured, if tables were turned and dems were within a grasp of SCOTUS liberal generational majority, conservatives would look for anything to prevent that, plus the "stolen" Garland seat.
Now that Democrats have established the new standard of no-evidence smear.... I am sure the Republicans would return the favor in the future for any Democratic appointees.
Exactly, GOP blocked Obama federal judges, he removed filibuster, then Dem were to filibuster supreme court, and GOP removed filibuster for SCOTUS and etc. Path of scorched earth. No side will budge. Curious where we will be in 20 years or so? Civil war?
Not to worry. I am sure your lefty buddies can immediately "remember" some new stuff if the hearing doesnt work out for you tomorrow.
There is no morality on the Left. They intend to win, regardless... nothing is "beyond the pale" for them.
My main point is that for such a critical and life time appointment all sides need to be heard. I agree entirely and this whole thing could have, and should have been handled when the democrats received her initial inquiry. There would have then been plenty of time to do this thoroughly, but they decided to sit on it. Why? I'll tell you why. They did a little investigating of their own and came to the conclusion, rightfully so, that this allegation didn't have a leg to stand on. They did their political calculation and decided to sit on it, and then spring it at the last minute to try and stall out the process. This entire thing has been a political tool from the jump. It's B.S. for anyone to claim that it is anything but that, given how events have unfolded. Nothing but pandering to the whole new morality of the "war on women". We've went from burning bras and demanding to run around topless because men can, to the "sexually liberated" woman of the left apparently now wearing chastity belts.
