One would think that Democrats would say “hey, perhaps we shouldn’t set yet another precedent that could backfire on us”, such as Harry Reid invoking the nuclear option as well as ramming through legislation in shady manners, but, this might just be throwing red meat to their unhinged base. Which could also backfire in terms of getting GOP voters to get out and vote en mass to stop these nutters
Dems: We’ll probe Kavanaugh allegations if we win in November
Congressional Democrats are threatening to investigate sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh from the highest bench in the land should he be confirmed without a probe and the party reclaim Congress.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said that “as soon as Democrats get gavels,†the party will vet the FBI’s handling of Ford’s claim against the Supreme Court nominee — even if Kavanaugh is already seated on the high court by that time. Rep. Eric Swallwell (D-Calif.), who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, also said in an interview that the party could probe Kavanaugh’s denials of the allegations against him.
“If they ramrod this nomination through, and we win the majority, we can still investigate this on the House side, and certainly the question as to whether a Supreme Court justice committed perjury is something you could look at,†Swalwell said in an interview. “Hopefully it doesn’t come to that; hopefully they do this right.”
“Because,” he added, “it’s going to get investigated either way and it would be better not to have to investigate a sitting judge.â€
Hey, guys and gals, Trump won. He did it fair and square. Hillary lost. Perhaps you should nominate someone who will campaign in states she needed to win and not pass out on camera on 9/11.
“You can’t ignore a crime victim’s claim that something happened, refuse to investigate, throw her up into the stand without the least bit of support for her, without the least bit of effort to corroborate what she says and then walk away from that,†Whitehouse told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Is he talking about Diane Feinstein, who sat on the allegation for a month and a half? And who still hasn’t given the unredacted letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee? How can they corroborate what she says if she has no evidence but a vague recollection?
Democrats are also angry that Republicans are pushing to confirm Kavanaugh as soon as this month, fast-forwarding the confirmation process to get him seated before the Supreme Court opens a new session.
Perhaps they shouldn’t have rammed through Obamacare, the Stimulus, Dodd-Frank, and so many other pieces of legislation.
“It’s harmful to the court’s legitimacy and to Judge Kavanaugh’s legitimacy on the court to simply go through a confirmation vote†without conducting any FBI investigation, said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), also a member of the Judiciary panel.
Supreme Court justices can be impeached and convicted just as can Presidents. If it turns out after his confirmation that Kavanaugh was a teenage rapist he can be removed.
It is the responsibility and right of the majority party to insure the confirmation of quality individuals.
I would agree with your sentiment if this allegation even had a shred of credibility. Even her therapist in her notes noted that Kavanaugh was never named in sessions. It was Someone groped me. Someone turns out NOW to be Kavanaugh at the 11th hour before he is confirmed.
The left is drooling at having him investigated by the OBAMA PLANTS in the FBI who will do what their handlers ask. Is this really the America you want? An America that only investigates one side?
You battle tooth and nail against any investigation of HRC but welcome with open arms an investigation of a supposed conservative.
Are you really that guy? Where justice is not blind but one sided. Where the rule of law is guilty until proven innocent if you are not of the progressive mold. Is this what you want your country to become?
The push now is to abandon the electoral college while legalizing illegals to vote, giving four states power over the other 45 or so. Is this the America that thirteen states came together and decided to form writing a document that guaranteed equal power under the law to all states.
Are you that guy who defends Franken and Ellison and now Hirono and Booker and Feinstein for their domestic abuses but threaten civil war over a vague and unprovable allegation from 35 plus years ago?
If your that guy then welcome to your dream America in which you get to squash your political adversaries and deny them basic rights guaranteed by a constitution that itself is now under fire by your side of the aisle. You are that guy who would see anyone smeared from the planet for the simplest indiscression as a teenager 35 years ago because YOU CAN in the age of METOO that only applies to the Right.
Hello That guy. I hope your grandkids enjoy a world in which they stand in line for toilet paper while thanking great grandpa for fighting so hard for all this wonderful free healthcare which includes an aspirin and call us when you die so we can replace you with another miserable slob we control.
Thank you for your service.
Don’t want to bring up the grandkids to the little fella.
There were some allegations of past sexual abuse that have never been investigated.
Actually, it was only the commenter formerly known as drowningpuppies (and TEACH) who accused another commenter of sexually abusing his grandchildren. Even going so far to illegally post a business address that drowningpuppies claimed was associated with the other commenter. drowningpuppies was repeatedly invited to share his concerns with the local police but refused.
You and TEACH have now associated a name and a business address with your false claims of sexual abuse. That’s defamation by any interpretation. And may even violate terms of service.
Thanks for your assistance.
The allegations still have not been thoroughly investigated.
Hugo Black?
Thurgood Marshall?
Don’t push your luck, kid.
Anti-Kavanaugh voices Hirono, Feinstein took campaign cash from Dem colleague who admitted hitting his wife
The democrats have to play to their Antifa left base. They will get railroaded out of congress if they don’t put up this silly fight. The GOP voted for Gingsburg and Breyer despite the fact politically they were vomiting in their mouth because the senate is a deliberative body with rules of decorum.
Then came BORK and THOMAS and everything has changed.
Americans you need to realize the democrats hate women. They take money for wife abusers, cover up their own domestic violence abusers and SMEAR women who would dare to come forward against them.
They want your towns full of immigrants from all over the world until there is no middle class left and they hate the rich so they want no upper class either. So how in their world do you pay for what they want. Well the USSR or Russia heavy couldn’t and they collapsed. Now the other thing they HATE……OIL is the only thing that has kept Russia from dying.
But they hate oil too. And coal. So in their world those millions of jobs would vanish. They want a country in which everyone is employed by the government. Folks they call that communism.
Oh make no mistake they pretend to want small businesses but how do you have a small business when their is no one to buy your products and there are 300 shoe stores in one block all selling Colin Kaepernic promoted government shoes?
Make no mistake they hate the police. They hate guns. They hate white people. They hate, they hate, they hate.
They hate Kavanaugh so much they are willing to make up lies exposing their own skeletons knowing full well the communist press will give them a pass. But what MSNBC AND CNN and ABC and DISNEY fail to realize in their push to help democrats is that the party they WANT is not the party that is morphing into the very party that will DISMANTLE THEM. Thats right the new left hates corporations despite the ESTABLISHMENT DEMS being in bed with CORPORATIONS.
So the CORPORATIONS GO BLINDLY along not fully realizing how far left the Democrats are rapidly swinging and in that party. They are full blown communists who will begin dismantling FOX and DISNEY and the internet. Watch Jimmy Gore a progressive news caster on youtube. HE RAILS AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS AND CORPORATIONS. HE LOATHES NBC< CBS< ABC< MSNBC< CNN and makes fun of them as they protect the establishment against the progressive communist left.
DO not be fooled by this phony WE LOVE WOMEN MEME from the left. They love POWER and USE women, muslims, Hispanics and gays to get that power and to railroad their own agenda.
AND trust me America you will not like the progressive agenda in 20 years when America has become the next Soviet Union collapsing under regulation, freebies and no money to pay for any of it.
The ManDonPig just couldn’t restrain himself. What do you expect from a pussy grabber credibly accused of over a dozen sexual assaults. Few of his victims filed police reports, and all but one was over 15 years old.
ManDonPig is one sick fvck. And he’s not doing the GOP any favors. Maybe a shriveled up old GOP Senator will refer to Dr. Ford as a slut or cvnt to make tRvmp happy.
Losing the narrative more and more everyday.
Becoming even more unhinged, more delusional, more disgusting with every idiotic comment.
Keep at it, little fella, your’re making a real
difference.
*Snicker*
ManDonPig twitted, not us.
Oh man, is the little black fella quick with those snappy little comebacks today or what?
Are you confusing him with Albert Gore, The Living Redwood, attempting to molest a masseuse?
Because it’s turning out (and you can check Commie News Net’s efforts on the subject), American women aren’t buying it. Then there’s Huffington’s poll that says only 28% of women buy it.
All The Donald is saying is what everybody is saying. Why didn’t she run home to Daddy and have him call the cops?
You should look at the hundreds of tweets (responding to ManDonPig) from assault victims telling Con Men why they didn’t report the assaults.
If the GOPhers think this is working in their favor they are as out of touch as ManDonPig.
Bwaha!!!
Wrong again, little fella.

5 Republican women support tRumvanaugh. How surprising.
Here’s what women say about tRump’s vile tweet:
https://heavy.com/news/2018/09/trump-christine-ford-twitter-reactions-memes/
Our Sexual Predator in Chief (ManDonPig) also walked into the Miss Teen USA dressing room to watch naked teen girls. Even 15 yr old Ivanka (who was there) admitted that that is “what he does”.
Bwaha!!!
This is … CNN.
How does losing feel, little fella?
According to Huffington Post, it is. Only 28% of women find her credible.
And “hundreds of tweets” in a nation of 300 million is a joke.
But 5 Republican women are significant?
As of Sep 20, only 34% of Americans support Kavanaugh’s confirmation. And his support among women has cratered, from slightly positive to deeply negative.
It turns out that few women look favorably upon sexual assault.
That said, since the GOP is a pro-sexual assault organization, with the hatred of women in its DNA, the shriveled old Senators will vote to confirm. This will hurt the Repugs in November. The smart move would be to withdraw Bret the Molester and nominate another white man to reverse Roe V Wade.
Keith Ellison.
A news story reports that tRump wants to know why Brett Molester didn’t just pay Dr. Ford hush money. LOL
FWIW on this post, Dr I Can’t Remember’s latest excuse is she can’t fly (I guess she wants to book passage on Chris Hale’s wagon train).
The deadline has passed. McConnell has stated publicly Kavanaugh will be confirmed. If no bimbo shows Monday, I guess they’ll have the vote.
And Jeffery is wrong again.
I wonder how she got to Hawaii? Or was that trip more important?

Yes, especially when labeling and name-calling are all that he has.
Heard on Twitter: Caitlyn Jenner is now claiming Bruce Jenner touched her 20 years ago…..
Do you think that Ronald Reagan’s daughter is a lying slut?
Ah, the stench of desperation can be smelled all the way from St. Louis.
Until today, I’ll bet you did.
The Montgomery City, MD police department said they are ready to investigate the attempted rape (no statute of limitations in MD for sexual assault).
Curiously, a Kavanaugh ally, Ed Whelan, was conducting internet searches of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford BEFORE the WaPo revealed her identity. But the White House had the information. What made Kavanaugh suspect Dr. Ford was the accuser? Whelan also had accused a classmate of Kavanaughs as the offender, but later retracted his accusation.
No wonder last-term McConnell wants to push this nomination through without an investigation.
So, little fella, is there a statute of limitations on sexual assault of a minor in MO.?
Asking for a friend.
Because we’ve known her name for a week?
And it’s not the Rs, it’s the country that’s said this is a crock. As many women as men, in fact. They smell a rat even more so. Even her husband has said she’s doing it for the attention.
How did Republican operative (and Kavanaugh buddy) Ed Whalen know to investigate Dr. Christine Ford WHEN ONLY the White House and the attempted rapist knew her identity?
Worst case scenario is that Kavanaugh realized who would be making the accusation, and contacted Whalen.
But nothing matters, since the vile GOP has said that sexual assault is no big deal. A GOP apologist on TV this morning said it makes no difference whether Kavanaugh did it or not, since it is not a crime. We’ll see how the voters feel.
First, it’s Montgomery County MD, moron.
Second, we knew her name a week ago and you’d be surprised how easy footwork really is if you ever got out of Mommy’s basement.
tRump thinks Dr. Ford is lying because:
“If the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, surely she has a copy of the demands she sent to Brett Kavanaugh or bank documents showing the transfer of a six-figure sum into her account during the ’80s that she could show us. It’s baffling — if he really did something illegal, why didn’t she just demand money for her role in covering up the crime? That’s what any normal person would do.â€
