Kavanaugh has been at the WH for a couple of hours today, wonder if anyone will leak what was dicussed.
And if Trump nominated Garland as an olive branch you would still find reason to complain
You are never innocent until proven guilty during confirmation for a federal appointment. You don’t appear to know how the constitution works. Next time Republicans should vet their nominees better. Hell even without this accusation he appears to have lied to the senate repeatedly and perjured himself.
The real question we should be addressing is whether or not to impeach him in his current position, not if to give him a new one.
That will be an open question until the Dems take over, when I believe a lot of people will be held to account. Nunes would be my first pick from Congress and the revelation and investigation of all the Republicans obstructed and buried while they held power.
This isn't a can of worms, it's the friggin Dead Sea of Political Skeletons rising up.

"SJW's will convict you out of hand."A bit rich coming from a supporter of a party that obstructed the Garland nomination purely out of spite, without any particularly good reason. Mind you, we know you're just fine with sexual assault since you support Trump...
Also, isn't the whole point of a delay to investigate the legitimacy of the claims before rushing him through? Stall tactics or not, shoving a candidate through the door when there are lingering claims generally isn't a good idea.

Took you about 20 seconds to prove his point.
Kavanaugh's statement this morning had Raj Shah's name on the byline...so I assume he's meeting with WH communications and press staff to prep a joint communications strategy fighting the accusation. Basically, they're going full Trump on this...Kavanaugh has been at the WH for a couple of hours today, wonder if anyone will leak what was dicussed.

Of course you can. Just think of the sheer quantity of false accusations were leveled at Clinton. If you don’t think they were ready for them when she was nominated for SoS you’re a fool. Also, there’s no particular reason to believe they are false.
I’m still waiting for your apology for repeatedly lying earlier. Any ETA on that? Alternatively a pledge to try and be less dishonest going forward would be good too.
Hold your breath. I have nothing to apologize to you for except to not call you an asshole as often as you deserve it.Of course you can.

Yo dawg, you heard Manafort be flippin' ?Hold your breath. I have nothing to apologize to you for except to not call you an asshole as often as you deserve it.
Why choose this guy with this baggage? Why have to hide so many documents? Why accept his continual lies to Congress? So many questions need to be answered.

Because they're trying to stealth a right wing ideologue onto the court. They want Kavanaugh desperately. He's been groomed, indoctrinated & positioned for a very long time. He'll protect the privileges of Wealth for decades.
Even at that, I assume they have a stable of them waiting for their chance.
I'm wondering, out of that pool, why him?
A. Did they not vet him well? (yet they seem prepared for this coming up...)
B. They knew, but:
1. Not care? (have some overriding reason)
2. Not appreciate the backlash? (poor judgement)
Early signs point to B, but what was the thought process? We seem left with either incompetence or conspiracy.
They did vet him well or at least well enough to know that his confirmation could be a problem. McConnell explicitly warned Trump against nominating him but he did it anyway. The first thing we should admit is that the Republicans are ONLY going to nominate right wing ideologues. No matter what justice they eventually seat you can bet your ass he will be ultra, ultra right wing. It's not what the country wants, but it's what their base and donors want, so that's what will happen.
As for why Trump nominated him in spite of that the most obvious reason is he thinks Kavanaugh will protect him from corruption investigations as Kavanaugh is on the record expressing pretty serious skepticism at subpoenaing or indicting presidents. If plenty of the candidates fit the 'extreme right wing' mold, why choose the only one who might be hard to confirm? Is there even much evidence that Trump cares about judicial ideology anyway? Nope. The simplest answer is the most likely one - Trump is corrupt and wants public officials who will enable his corruption.
Anything that makes Trump look like a "loser" will not be tolerated by the White House. While I'm sure GOP Congress would be happy to pick any alternative Heritage/Federalist approved judge, Trump is personally invested in Kavanaugh and will not let it go. He wants his pick to win.If Rs push forward this time... Have to ask why. Why not cut bait and find someone else.
