No. He definitely shouldn't. I am surprised that anyone actually supported him. If a person can't even answer should entire system of law allowed to be circumvented(1) that person definitely have no job being in legal system of democratic nation.

That's a good point. I suppose I mean the “standard of proof were the statute of limitation ignored”. Or alternatively, such evidence to be found that would make it impossible for Kavanagh to bring a defamation suit (not that he ever would). Either way, the purpose of the FBI investigation is not to ensure that Kavanagh is innocent but to confirm that there is insufficient evidence to prove that he is guilty. The Flake compromise should give Republican senators coverage against the nightmare scenario that they vote Kavanagh through and it is later proved (to a reasonable standard) that he's guilty.

These discussions are so stupid. Everyone has already made up their minds. They've either picked the narrative they want to believe based on Republican or Democrat identity, or had their in between opinion stuffed into one of those categories. Everyone has stopped listening. This isn't a discussion, it's shouting into a very noisy, meaningless void.

As an European I feel it should be postponed.  Not because I think he is lying but because this is a huge decision that has a big impact on the future of the USA. 

This is one of those moments the goverment can go crazy and use billions or whatever it takes to find out the truth. 

He gets the position or not without finding out the truth it is going to be one of the worst things you can do for democracy and will only divide the country more.

Fuck the Republicans if they are lying/Fuck the Democrats if they are lying but without finding out the truth Fuck them both.

Whether or not you believe Ford made all this up as an elaborate "hit job" (and a very personally dangerous one, ie. committing perjury), the fact is that Kavanaugh's _reaction_ to these accusations, with his wild partisan conspiracy theories and unhinged yelling/crying Academy Award performance at the hearing should disqualify him. He is temperamentally and ideologically unfit to sit on the Supreme Court, period.

You mean like refusing to even hold hearings for a SCOTUS candidate for 10 months kinda screwed up?  If you want to talk about dereliction of duty and party over country, take a look at your pal McConnell for a shining example.

Agreed, thats pretty much why I've dropped out of these conversations. There just isn't enough information to say one way or the other what is true definitively. There is some interesting middle ground about what should be done in non-definitive cases but it seems everybody just wants to accuse someone of lying while asserting with 100% confidence that they know whoever they supports is telling the truth (which is BS no matter which side you support). I see no reason to really add to that noise.

This site is one of the more tolerant ones. People generally seem to be able to have civilized discussion and tolerate differing view points, though this site does seem to have been tilting more to the left recently (the closing of the Naugty Dog agenda topics, for example). As for Resetera, I don't go there but have read that it's essentially a leftist echo-chamber. Don't be suprised you were banned there.

The "bitch" is clearly lying.  Really, dude? I'm actually embarrassed for you that you posted this for all to see.

There is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in the state of Maryland.
