Lol, did you just wake up today and notice how politics work.  This is pretty much normal and has been for decades.  If anything if you have a checkered past you best think twice before running for any office because people will spend a lot of time digging that stuff up.  

Yes, but it has never been this bad in my experience. Usually, when a politician gets into trouble there is some kind of evidence.  Now you don't even need evidence. As long as you go for the "muh feelings" you can hurt anyone.

I see it the same.  Its not like the GOP and President Trump tried to find a candidate that both parties would like, instead they went for someone who was totally partisan knowing this would be resisted by the democrats but with their majority felt they could still squeeze him through.  There is no difference here because when Garland was picked by Obama, he was mostly conservative but he was still rejected because Obama picked him.  In other words, he could have been completely conservative and they would have still rejected him because Obama picked him.  At the end of the day, its still partisan politics.

The only thing I see is still partisan politics.  People who support Kavanaugh in this thread did not make a fuss when Garland was left on the altar even though he probably would have made a pretty good justice.  The blindfold both sides put on when it's there time just makes me laugh. 

So now people are trying to act like the Dems are doing anything different from the Republicans but in actuality they are all playing the same game with the same goals, power.
