Exactly. Repubs just using the precedent and playbook that was put in place by Reid already. If anyone should be mad about this, it should be democrats for Reid putting them in this position.

Gotta disagree once again. He answered questions just fine. Ford couldnt answer or remember basic questions. At this point time, there's no factual evidence presented that proves Kav's guilt. Until there is 100% proof, then hes innocent till proven guilty, unless rule of law has no changed in this country to guilty until proven innocent because we say so. Bad route to go with.  But we'll see where this goes.

We gotta put aside emotions and move forward with actual facts. So far there are none to prove his guilt. As of this point in time.

This whole last-minute bullshit is all about Roe v. Wade. Democrats are scared to death that Kavanaugh would be the deciding vote to overturn it. Thus, they are desperate to stop his nomination. My country has truly reached a new low

Innocent until proven guilty. You cant make an accusation with no proof and bring someone down just because you say something. This isnt a communist country. If she has/or had evidence,this would've been over already,but alas she doesn't have a thing. Neither do the two others. No case whatsoever.

If evidence comes out 100% confirming he did something? I'll be back you up, but until then, sorry, I can't join the #BelieveAllWomen campaign that's being played here.

The only animus he showed was towards the Dems on the committee and in the Senate who have absolutely conspired against him. Called him evil. Said he will lead to millions of deaths. Said they will do ANYTHING to stop him, which is what they are doing now with this pathetic last ditch effort based on the testimony of one woman, even though all the people she claimed were there said it never happened. They painted a target on him with their hyperbolic rhetoric and let loose their puppets to attack him.

What evidence are you even talking about? She provided nothing but a story with nothing to back it up. And recount every detail? How about one single detail that she hasn't altered. She can't remember exactly for sure where it happened. Around what time. How many were there, even though she says it was a very small gathering. How she got to and from the party, probably one of the easiest questions to answer. Where people were when the assault happened, she keeps moving them around with each telling. The people she says were there, now, completely refuted her tale, including her best friend. Sorry, but if she was truly traumatized like she said, some of those details would be ingrained in her head.

Then you get to the stuff after the supposed party happened and it's even fishier. Met the guy she originally said was a bystander, which she changed in the testimony, at a store he worked at and decided to say hi. First, if he really was a bystander to your rape, I doubt you would be a okay with him. And two, she can't even remember about what time/year that was. Oh, but if we provide her with a record of his employment she could pick out the day. Yea, I'm sure she could, as could anyone claiming they saw him. And she supposedly told her therapist about what happened twice, but never said who it was. Oh, and apparently her therapist is a moron because she copied the facts down wrong. Or at least that's what Ford claims when the details of both retellings contradicted each other. 

The fact is Ford is a big leftie who is either making the whole thing up, or actually did have something happen in her past, but is changing the "facts" around to make it more plausible for it to have been Kavanaugh that did it. And the complete hypocrisy of the left is sickening. They destroyed Clinton's accusers, who each had more believable stories. Corey Booker has the gall to chastise Kavanaugh, when he wrote in one of his books about groping women without their consent. Using his standards, he should step down and also terminate his run for President in 2020. And Keith Ellison was able to become 2nd in command of the DNC, even though just two or three years ago his ex claims he assaulted her. And she actually has medical reports where she names him. They remained silent on that until just a couple days ago. Where's the "believe all women" there? Oh, it only pertains to when it's an accusation thrown at a Rep. Got it.

As for the whole FBI investigation, he repeatedly said that he would support whatever the committee suggested happen. And hey, that's what is going to happen, and he has already said he will fully cooperate. The ridiculous attempts at "gotcha" just because he didn't obey the Dems that ordered him to request one then and there is just that, ridiculous. They don't give a shit about that woman. This is just to delay the whole process. If they actually cared, they would have brought it to the committee's attention as soon as they got it, where an investigation would have taken place. Not have her lawyer up and save it for a hail Mary at the last second. And they definitely wouldn't have leaked it to the press, stealing away Ford's anonymity, which is what she wanted to keep.

And Reps aren't silencing anyone.  They are the ones that allowed Ford to be heard in the first place.  And it would have happened even sooner, and privately like Ford wanted, if the Dems didn't play politics and keep it in their back pocket.  Those other two women were absolutely not credible.  Even the NY Times, which is not a Conservative paper by any stretch, refused to report their stories because they couldn't find any evidence or witnesses to back their stories up.

OK. I think it's time to put the partisan politics aside. Both sides lobbed softballs at their guy. Hell, the Dems talked as if this was already decided in a court of law. Talking about how brave she was to confront her attacker, and what a piece of shit Kavanaugh was. 

And we must have not watched the same hearing. The only thing she was 100% sure of was that it was Kavanaugh that did it. Every single other detail she was unsure about. Even on simple things that should be easy to remember if she was that traumatized. She's been changing her story, too.

Kavanaugh, on the other hand, answered every question. Even the dumb ones that were asked. Sometimes going into more detail than he needed to. The only time his answer may not have been clear is when he was interrupted by Dems, because either they didn't like his answer, or he was trying to give context and they wanted a "gotcha" yes or no.

Due to the importance of the role this guy is expected to perform for many years he needs to be put through the ringer, FBI needs more than a week if they ask for it, the Republicans have delayed having anyone in that position for so long now they want to rush it, that BS needs to stop

It's already been delayed multiple times. This is just another FBI background check, hes already been through 6. Week is enough. Circus just needs to end. 

What are you talking about when you say the Reps have delayed?  The position that was left open by the death of Scalia was already filled by Gorsuch.  This is a new opening left by the retirement of Kennedy.  This one is being delayed by the Dems, hoping that they can keep it open til after midterms, which they think they are going to win most.  Then, they will delay it being filled til 2020, hoping they can win the presidency.

As PwerlvlArmy said, this will just be another background check, which he has passed 6 already, without any of this being brought up.  Another reason her story is fishy.  But more importantly, yes, this circus just needs to stop.

Yes and he should be confirmed.

Ford's tone of voice and mannerisms didn't change at all after giving her statement about what exactly happened, in which she pouted a bit, which is to be expected. Nobody acts like that, for that long, based on their claim and feelings, unless they've been coached to do so. The fact that she's where she was, and in the position she was, she was way, way to perfect in terms of her politically correct presentation. She constantly was looking to her council for direction. She didn't follow the typical procedure for an assault charge and admitted it was because her council told her this lawyer and hearing thing was the proper option. She points out how smart she is in terms of why she knows how memory works and why she can and can't remember things, yet she can't figure out the proper procedure for coming forward with an assault claim? She lied about the fact that she can't or is scared to fly because she said she recently flew for a funeral and fly's all the time for her hobbies. She admitted this situation was supposed to be kept private and didn't approve it being leaked. The only person who could have leaked it, was who the letter was sent to, Democrat Feinstein, who said she didn't leak it, and said her people didn't leak it, and when asked if she had ever asked her staff if they did, her answer was, "I just did", but was then immediately reminded that she did ask one other person earlier.

Kav points out Fords witnesses signed off that they don't believe he did it. If it's ever found they were lying, they face prison. Kav was also asked, to personally ask for an FBI investigation on the spot, since he worked in the white house and with the FBI in the past. He then uses that to point out this gave him the knowledge to know that the process the FBI would take wouldn't be much different than what was already taking place, and that at best it would lead to the senate making the decision anyway. He was then hounded to ask for that FBI investigation over and over which was useless because he wasn't going to, because it would be useless as he already explained. Kav made it clear earlier and after, if the committee wanted an FBI investigation that he would happily accept it, and yet that senator was doing everything he could to try and put the burden on Kav, and it's not his to bear.
Lastly, Kav's testimony reminded me a lot of my father. He's also a fairly centered Conservative. I only ever saw my old man get what I would call angry a handful of times in my life, and every time it was similar to how Kav presented himself. After being so calm, cool, and collected, for so long, if you finally somehow managed to cross the line, everything would come out all at once. Anger, passion, sadness, disgust, you name it, it was all there, and it was a sight to see. A really scary one, because you knew he meant business and there was no weaseling your way out. You were going to learn, even if it had to be the hard way. Kav however kept his composure and held back the anger extremely well considering he had to, based on his situation, but that folks is just what happens when someone, somehow, pushes a righties personal and moral boundaries way too far. Kav didn't cross the line, the political circus did. It didn't prove Kav is a loose cannon, it's proof he's dedicated, has strong morals, and is going to make some great decisions going forward.

The Republicans have blocked previous nominees, they all do it, the vetting did not include these allegations from 4 women, but by just allowing this investigation only one week is a slap in the face to how important this position is, the Citizens need to have the best people working for them
