By only talking about Feinstein leaking, and democrats not taking part in the investigations, and asking an FBI investigation only at the last minute while they knew before. They are discussing the allegations by Dr. Ford, not even mentioning them. Even Cruz, after a good introduction, is mostly talking about the process, the letter, the leaks, the agenda, but not the content or Kavanaugh alleged behaviour. | ||

If I didn't know better I'd think that he was the victim and her the accused. To be fair, he deserves an apology from them for being turned into their political clown show thanks to the imperative that he be confirmed prior to the midterm elections. This could all have been done quietly and unceremoniously but for the fact that the Republicans wanted to force his appointment through now. | ||

Can we fact-check this picture? That HAS to be photoshopped, if it isn't that has to be the most perfect picture ever taken by man. It's too good to be true! The old man on the left staring up into the heavens, contemplating his existence brings it all together IMO. | ||

Votes on and Kavanaugh will be on SCOTUS, hell or high water. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1045444544068812800 All comes down to Collins and Murkowski. If they watched Ford's testimony, they know it really happened. From there, it is just a matter of it they care or not. | ||

There must be one or two right? It's going to be a black mark on the court. Imagine how fucked up its going to be when as a Justice he cant even visit law schools without being protested against, give speeches or go to a public dinner in peace. Or all the protesters who are going to interrupt him during oral arguments. It's going to be a constant mess. An interesting argument raised on Fox was that it's actually better for the Dems politically if he is confirmed and better for the Republicans if he isnt. Whoever loses will have righteous indignation on their side, which will motivate voters. | ||

Also, the picture posted is probably not photoshopped, you can see the people sitting at the start here. But the two women on the left just have a unfortunate resting facial expression as they also look this way when he hasn't entered yet. So I wouldn't make much of it. | ||

From there, it is just a matter of it they care or not. We actually have no idea whether it happened. Her testimony didn't reveal any new facts other than that Mark Judge worked at a particular grocery store. Just because she seemed credible doesn't make it true. The burden of proof hasn't been met. | ||

The truth is that we don't know one way or another, which means we should presume innocence as a matter of having a good system for resolving these kinds of questions. Exactly, I stand with inocent until proven guilty and not a single piece of evidence has been presented. So when are they voting? | ||
