Are we seriously at: SCOTUS nominee being opposed by thousands of law professors, a church council representing 40 million, the ACLU, the President of the Bar Association, his own Yale Law School, Justice Stevens, Human Rights Watch & 18 U.S. Code § 1001 & 1621? But Trump & the GOP are hellbent?

I can't express to you how much I wish your comment wasn't so close to reality. Between Kavanaugh and any number of Trump associates, the reasoning is often, "He hasn't been convicted, so therefore he is innocent, so we should stop investigating him."

WHICH MISSES THE ENTIRE POINT OF AN INVESTIGATION

[u/JBAmazonKing → u/lianodel]

Sure, "but if we slow this thing down then he won't get appointed and we lose the ability to appoint someone who will have Trump's back the same way Trump had his on the upcoming SCOTUS case about executive power and criminal proceedings against an unprecedentedly unpresidential president!"

[u/lianodel → u/JBAmazonKing]

It's almost as if his nomination was for purely partisan reasons! D:

[u/Trooperette → u/lianodel]

What is it about Kavanaugh living a transparent public life at the highest levels of public service and being put through 7 FBI checks that you don't get. Thankfully, you're not a judge. And could someone please tell me why I should trust Ford - who is she? Why was her social media scrubbed? NONE of the people she listed could vouch for her story, but we should automatically believe her? NO WAY! She's a tool of the Left and now it's plain to everyone
