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.

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

Actually it does. because if any of those incidents ever took place, they would've shown up in the previous SIX background checks, they didn't.  FBI just doesn't check your parking tickets and that's it, they do a full investigation of your entire history,interactions and everything. That's how the process is done for every single person on the supreme court, left or right leaning alike. 6 checks, this was never found. Its all bogus that's why.

How bizarre, so the FBI knew of those 4 womens allegations and discounted them 6 times?

No.  These women's allegations were only thrown out last minute as a stalling tactic.  However, they did a thorough background check of the people he knew from back then.  I'm sure if he was a serial rapist, that would have been found out.  Also, serial rapist don't just stop because they graduate high school. 

It's the exact same thing they pulled on Clarence Thomas.  Fortunately, I don't think it will work this time, either.

Exactly this ^

And the Thomas speech is still one of the best ever too.

She is way to credible, he was giving false statements, and when you look into what Mark Judge describes in his book, and match it with the names Ford provided and what it says in Kavanaughs calendar, that party happened without a shadow of a doubt. Whether or not he committed the attempted tape is another matter but he is to emotional and inconsistent do even be considered for on of the most important jobs in the country.

Hey dude, don't listen to the other BOOFED up comments in here.

In a background check, FBI agents focus on the professional lives of the person. This includes interviews of a minimum of 30 people with whom the nominee worked with.

Now in this new background check, the FBI can follow several new leads. They can interview Mark Judge, Leland Keyser and P.J. Smyth, high school friends of either Dr. Blasey or Judge Kavanaugh etc.

Can the FBI finish within a week? It's possible. EX: FBI agents examined domestic abuse allegations against Rob Porter, the WH staff secretary for Trump. The investigation took a few days. Long story short, he resigned.

There is nothing there. Innocent until proven guilty, and there is no evidence. Just get the vote over with, no investigation is going to prove anything at this point. I think the democrats reasons for doing all of this is really disturbing and i hope the voters punish them for it in November

Mark Judge's book is a work of fiction. He just used names close to his buddies. But, an autobiography it is not. 

And your bar for her truth is exceptional low, while being the reverse for him. Not a good model to follow. Especially given how inconsistent and uncorroborated Ford was.

Fourth, judiciary committee hearings for Supreme Court seats should be abolished as direct punishment to the Democrats for the way this has been handled.

The way Murphy's Law works, however, the Republicans would likely end up changing things to make it easier to push nominees through uncontested, only for the next vacancy not to pop up until the Democrats have retaken the White House and/or Congress.



No one should be appointed as a judge while they are under investigation for a serious crime. Doing so throws their court into disrepute and undermines public confidence in the sanctity of their station. If confirmed, it should include conditions that must be met before his duties begin. The investigation should reach its natural conclusion, and if they press charges, he must be found Not Guilty on all counts. Innocent until proven guilty, but his appointment is a conflict of interest of epic proportions under the current circumstances.
