Lets just suppose that date rape of 4 decades ago shouldn’t be judged by today’s cultural norms, and that Mr. K should be given benefit of doubt. You and Iknow that it matters, absolutely, but lets just set it aside for a moment.

So then the question becomes - what about the preponderance of all the other reasons to not confirm this shady character?

The fact is this guy, more than the others, crosses the line between being a conservative leaning justice and being an overt republican operative.

This article was an eye opener While written as an opinion piece Mr Nichols lays out factual, verifiable info why Mr K should not only not be confirmed, but should have current judgeship revoked.

1. Not enough attention has been paid to the FACT he lied under oath to the Senate

in 2004 and 2006. Frustrates me no end ... How the hell can he continue to be a judge when he lied under oath and why is MSM not adequately covering this?

3. I hear thee. There should've been a lot of calls for his impeachment prior to Dr. Ford's accusation.

The whole conversation revolves around whether or not he should be promoted. In a sane world, he would lose the job he currently has. Actually, he never would have been appointed a federal judge in the first place.

8. I totally agree.

I think the dems have been catphished by the PR agency working for Kavanaugh, and are focusing on the wrong fight. Even if Dr. Ford is a convincing and sympathetic witness, the republicans will still approve of Kavanaugh's nomination and he will squeak by. The MSM media seems eager to package it all as 'she said, he said, let's all just move on'.

By contrast, his confirmation would be much harder to achieve if he can be proven to be a liar multiple times over (with documents), and if his very fishy finances are fully exposed (again, with documents).

9. I feel the same way

It is outrageous that they overlook his lying.

10. I believe its cos MSM finds it more profitable to package news/info as a reality show & hook

people into a drama vs. provide useful factual information. Im afraid that content of a sexual and emotional nature is of more interest to more people vs. details of a Senate proceeding.

This thread and its meager responses is kinda proof of that I think.

Well I guess I write to my senators and blast them about it. Its good thereapy if nothing else.

2. If the Democrats take over, this can be investigated

Of course, it should already disqualify him. But maybe in the long run it's better this way than if he steps down now for a more qualified nominee.

4. The gambling should also be brought up. (nt)

5. NEEDLESSLY lying too !!

7. Yes, yes, yes! THIS!

This was introduced the first day, I believe. Poor Dr. Ford should never have had to put herself through what she has. There's so much important, recent and documented reason related directly to his work to deny him confirmation for.
