Just read that another woman has come forward saying that Kavanaugh sucked her nipples in 1965. I'll supply a link when I find a better source.
Ford hadn't been born in 1965.
I don't get your pardon reference but interesting Trump's side piece wants him to cut bait. Its looking worse for Kavanaugh by the hour.https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/09/kavanaugh-allegations-trump-ivanka
"Unlimited pardon power" hanging in the balance ... mmmmmmmm
One interpretation of Trumps obsession with Kavanaugh is his view on, for one, pardon power :I don't get your pardon reference but interesting Trump's side piece wants him to cut bait. Its looking worse for Kavanaugh by the hour.
If she wants to be taken seriously in time she needs to show up. The FBI may investigate but now we're making them look like a political tool at this point and that's serious business.
This really can't happen again. There should be a set in stone input period from the public before the appointment of candidates. Those who allege misconduct have until that time and those who apply will need to commit to being questioned by the FBI if the latter deems investigating appropriate.
This process has been random and bizarre for a hundred years or more too long. We need binding rules and no arbitrary hand waving.
What we need are term limits for the supreme court. I recall hearing we're one of the few (or only?) country to have lifetime appointments for the highest court. Ten or fifteen years seems reasonable. Would certainly limit the damage that creepers like Thomas could do if they are able to slime through the confirmation process.
And you remove the hyper partisan games played with justice seats. You don't have a judge in poor health hanging around because they feel compelled to stay until a different administration comes around. Just set up a rotation, offset it so that it's spaced out replacements (Like Senate seats) and remove the drama around it.

She was extended the opportunity to testify and they delayed the vote to accomodate. As many of you have pointed out, this is a job interview not a criminal case.Seems the GOP gameplan is to confirm Kavanaugh anyways if Ford testifies or not.. fuck the facts.
It's a Constitutional issue & nobody will change it. Discussion is pointless.
They just wanted Monday's hearing to be he said, she said without any investigation and then push the vote forward.Seems the GOP gameplan is to confirm Kavanaugh anyways if Ford testifies or not.. fuck the facts.
If Judge isn't made to testify under oath, then Billy Mays will jump out of the grave for this Sham-Wow.Wow the other witness that has been named (Judge) doesn't exactly ring as a good character witness for Kavanaugh. Yeesh.
So were presidential term limits.
That you think there's room to even jokingly conflate sexual assault and breastfeeding...Just read that another woman has come forward saying that Kavanaugh sucked her nipples in 1965. I'll supply a link when I find a better source.
There appears to be a new letter out from someone who knew Ford and Kavanaugh contemporaneously who claims she knew of the attack shortly after it happened. Who knows if this is true or not, but it certainly increases the need for some real investigation of the issue.

I gotta wonder, what would it take for you to see women as people?
There are too many unknowns for this to be safe ground for the GOP. It's more like a mine field. They'd be smart to spin their way into withdrawing the nomination, blaming Dems & pull another right wing toady out of their treasure chest. Confirmation before the election would be impossible, obviously.
Not really. The Constitution does not address presidential term limits at all. It is quite specific wrt the tenure of federal judges-

They just need confirmation by December in case the Democrats somehow take the senate.
