Wrong. I for one think that he's an outstanding jurist.
Many many others feel that way too.
The woman undoubtedly was assaulted.
But she most probably has False Memory Syndrome linking Kavanaugh to it as a mistaken identity.
Unfortunately Kavanaugh and her are both victims in this charade which should have been handled so much differently if Feinstein or anyone counseling her had half a brain.
I find the whole situation very saddening.

Then you should hope for them to ram it through...... Hell, as far as I can tell, you're as blue as they come.....
As to the topic, you say there is little chance a woman would lie about this.....
Then you should be screaming from the top of your lungs about Clinton and why his ass isn't in jail. I mean after all, how many women have come forward about him???? And according to you, they surely can't be lying, not that many!!
Now of course you will come back and talk about deflection and how this isn't about Clinton etc etc.....
Whatever!!

What would another background investigation yield that would be new, given that the alleged assault or whatever was committed over 35 years ago?  |
What are you talking about?
Read what I have been posting about the Clarence Thomas hearings and Anita Hill.

You're more comfortable living with all the tactics and subversion that has been used, then living with Trump as POTUS?
I'm not. What has gone down should scare the shit out of EVERYONE, no matter what side of the political aisle you reside. But because it's happening in the name of "Get Trump Outta There!" it's OK.
smh

You mean all of the felony pleas that have occurred from investigating the President?
Republicans threw everything including the kitchen sink at Hillary Clinton too...
As this has gone on... the likely perjury in 2006. His steadfast judicial action stance on presidential indictments.
Yes, I think he isn't the best selection. I didn't feel that way before the hearings started even stated so on here.
This stuff with the woman is mostly noise for me.

Cause the L.L.L. Lying Libby Loon won't come in on Monday.. to face the one she accused. And answer direct questions put to her. As prescribed under the LAW. She and her Pink hatted pitbulls are trying to dictate and delay... nothing more. I'd laugh my as off more... if after this if Kavenaugh brought a defamation suit against the lot of them.

I have already answered this. THE FBI conducts "background investigation"on both civilians and federal of all backgrounds of all individuals appointed to or about to be confirmed to office
Trump went thru a FBI background investigation. To bad they did not have Mueller back in the FBI when it was done.
I am not reading your link unless you summarize the relevant parts first.
So far you are batting 0%

Small objects must gravitate towards you cause your so dense... Thomas and Hill are a entirely different set of circumstances.
As has been said to you 100 times before.

Those pictures are photoshopped. Or fake in their entirety.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. And that is being kind.

More.
I said...
In both hearings the preznit simply orders the FBI to reopen the "background investigation".
The fight over reopening the FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh, explained
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...tion-kavanaugh
The Department of Justice, which oversees the FBI, also released a statement Wednesday noting that “[t]he allegation does not involve any potential federal crime.”
But Senate Democrats aren’t asking for a criminal investigation. They want the FBI to reopen Kavanaugh’s background check.
Grassley’s correct — the FBI’s background investigation is closed. But there’s nothing to stop the FBI from reopening or adding to it.
In fact, in 1991, the agency did just that, at the request of then-President George H.W. Bush, when Anita Hill made sexual harassment allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. The FBI investigated and wrote a report that eventually led the White House to declare that Hill’s allegations were unfounded.
Back then, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — who was and still is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee — called it “the very right thing to do.”
That’s in stark contrast to the tweet his office posted on Tuesday claiming that the “FBI does not do investigations like this” and that the “responsibility falls to us.”
So what’s different with the Kavanaugh case? Nothing. Except that Republicans are adamant about getting their nominee through the process quickly — and Donald Trump doesn’t look like he’s about to ask for an FBI investigation anytime soon.

So if this lying liberal lady is so on the up and up, WHY is she she not attending Monday?
And if the GOP is so ignoring this, why are they now offering her a Wednesday meeting? Bending over backwards for her.
If she she ever shows up, The committee should offer her a can of Coke when she sits down - and makes sure there is a pubic hair on it! 
Drink up, bay-bay!
