Did the WH and/or Republican senators insist on a full investigation of Kavanaughs past?
NO.
Were all of the witnesses to Kavanaughs excessive drinking during the time Christine Ford alleges he attacked her while drunk contacted and interviewed?
NO.
Were FBI investigators told to follow all leads in an attempt to get at the truth of the allegations against Kavanaugh?
NO.
Did Republicans put partisanship aside in order to search for the truth behind Christine Fords allegations before elevating Kavanaugh to the highest court in the land?
NO.
Were the Republicans even remotely interested in knowing whether their nominee to the SCOTUS might be guilty of the behaviour he has been accused of?
NO.
Were the Republicans willing to have Kavanaugh take a polygraph test that might tend to prove his innocence?
NO.
Were the Republicans anxious to leave no stone unturned in order to prove that Kavanaugh has been wrongfully accused?
NO.
Has Kavanaugh himself demonstrated any willingness to be subjected to a full investigation into his past?
NO.
Did Kavanaugh answer specific questions posed by Democrats without being evasive, and proffering unresponsive, self-serving answers to all questions asked?
NO.
How many NO answers does it take to spell guilty as charged or, at the very least, an admission that we dont care if hes guilty, as long as hes confirmed to the highest court in the land?
When you refuse a full investigation into your own past that might exonerate you, you are broadcasting your own guilt.
When your party refuses a full investigation into their SCOTUS nominees past, they are broadcasting that nominees probable guilt.
Sometimes its just that simple. Sometimes its just that in-your-face obvious.
Sometimes it just comes down to whether youre unethical enough, immoral enough, and unpatriotic enough to take NO as an appropriate answer.

I see so much shit like that posted in so many places these days. I think the ONLY part of your whole statement that I havent seen people post is the volcano part, but other than that, theres a chunk of this country (and probably a large pool of Russian trolls) who do genuinely post that kind of crap.

(1,326 posts)... and vote against Kav's confirmation?
NO
It's my guess that they don't all think he's a good pick for SCOTUS. They've been bullied and threatened that their future in the party is toast if they don't toe the line.

(2,067 posts)I suspect it would take a lot for any ideologue to not help their partys nominee get confirmed to something as paramount as the SC, especially if they felt a time crunch (and Im skeptical they could get another nominee through the process before January at this point).
The SC is the ultimate power. Whatever your values are, its the ultimate decider. So I think its the one vote that a politician may actually make regardless of the threat it poses to their own re-election.
So barring actual proof of a significant crime, I doubt any Con was ever actually really on the fence about this.
