Why doesn’t the GOP just replace the SC nominee for with someone just as conservative?

[miketx]

Neither, as neither had made up their stories at the time of those investigations.

Neither incident, if they even happened, would fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI. If the two women feel they were violated there is a legal process for them to use.

Neither implies only 2. There were 6 investigations and not one of them questioned Ford or Ramirez.

That is because the two stores were not told until after the 6 were done.

If the incidents happened, they would not fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

If the two women feel they were violated there is a legal process for them to use, just like the rest of us.

They are not special, they do not deserve special treatment. If they feel they were victims of a crime they need to file a police report.

So if those two stories were not investigated why do repubs keep saying he was already investigated as if it means something?

Anything the POTUS directs the FBI to investigate falls under their jurisdiction. I cite Obama and Bush on that.

One more time, if the two women feel they were violated there is a legal process for them to use, just like the rest of us.

They are not special, they do not deserve special treatment. If they feel they were victims of a crime they need to file a police report.

If they were to file a police report, then the FBI would have something to investigate. It is not the job of the FBI to investigate poorly written fiction.

FBI are in charge of background checks... These charges would probably be subject to statue of limitations... That doesn't mean the FBI ignores it, they are investigating his background....

And for anyone saying being 17 years old doesn't count, I will quote Brett Kavanaugh " decisions you make as a minor ought to have lifelong consequences,”

This shit is down to Trump's White house not vetting there candidates properly again... Now Avenatti has a least one more accuser...

If you want him let the FBI investigate... I have a funny feeling bringing Ford in is going to look really bad...

FBI has already investigated him. Now it's time for confirmation.

The FBI gets literally 1000's of tips a day, they investigate the one's that have some sense of credibility to them. That cannot be said of either of the two, and if you are pinning your hopes on Avenatti, I feel sorry for you.

This whole thing has been about stalling till the next election, and that is why I wish they would vote tomorrow.

This shit has to stop.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Jesus you are fucking stupid.

What you think of me is none of my business.

Which one of those investigations questioned Ford or this new woman?

His background was investigated. It showed nothing. There is no open file, she did that for a reason. So next we’ll and the following 52 as one loon after another make an accusation you want those investigated. Are you really this are up with hate and stupidity? This isn’t an fbi case moron.

You didnt answer my question. You did talk around it though. I ask again.

LOL

Because Ford and Ramirez were never uncovered by those investigations as possible red flags. The FBI might be corrupt, but their methods and sourcing are impeccable. Stop assuming you know more than they do.

I could care less how many tips the FBI gets a day. Has nothing to do with the point. Both the claims are extremely credible and I have no idea who Avenatti is Youre just mad because people are calling the guy out for being a sexual predator.

 

[Care4all]

without investigators, who are experts and do this for a living, investigating the accusations, how do you know what can be produced or not?

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF the FBI finding out?

Why would anyone NOT want the FBI to investigate whether there is any information that can be obtained, that the Senators could inform themselves with? They could just as easily find out this woman is making it up.

Kavanaugh should INSIST on having the FBI investigate... it would help him and his family, clear their name....

unless of course, he has something to hide? no one should settle for a rushed through vote with no investigation...

After your side elected the accused rapist and serial sexual assaulter Bill Clinton president your side has jack shit to say about Kavanaugh.

What are you afraid the FBI will find?

I do not think it is at all unreasonable to request the FBI to reopen their back ground check on him with these new accusations....

There is nothing partisan in asking for the FBI to reopen their background check...

it is something ALL OF US should want....?

so, why is there resistance to it??? What's going on for the Republicans to break their own protocol on it? Makes no sense? This investigation could greatly help Kavanaugh?

Kavanaugh has already passed 6 FBI background checks, here this is for you

So? This is NEW information, that they did NOT have to go on, previously.

And the two ex-FBI agents they had on 2 different news channels said this is standard procedure for the FBI, when new information comes up on a person they have already done a back ground check on, they open the background check up and investigate the new allegations.

He didn't have 6 full background checks, he had one full background check, of which the other 5 background checks reused, and anything new they had to check out, they added it to the original first background check. The FBI does not redo their background checks from scratch every time they do one... they only check out what is new in the time from the last one, or new, due to new information.

Why are you against reopening his background check, for this new accusation, for them to check this out, as they are suppose to do?

The Supreme court justice is a lifetime position that affects EVERY CITIZEN, not just partisans, and it would make ALL Americans, feel more at ease in the nomination, if it were done.... NOT DOING ONE, makes the Republicans seem untrustworthy, with no desire to get to the truth... and that's not good for anyone, imo.

what in the heck is going on here???

The background checks aren’t as simple as you want to imply. When does it end? Next week another loon the week after another.

That's how it works and has always worked.

When new information comes forward for government people in positions of trust, the FBI investigates it. More times than not, it's nothing.... we never hear about it.

Just because someone hadn't stolen anything 10 years ago according to an FBI background check back then, does not meam they did not rob the gvt blind last year. New things get revealed over time as well.

IF this is nothing or mistaken identity, it will clear Kavanaugh from this cloud hanging over him....

closing ones eyes and hoping it just goes away, won't ever happen.... is this really the best government in the world, the most just and honest?

 

[BluesLegend]

Why should he not have survived. We don't believe ford because she cant produce anything credible.

Riiiiiight the FBI was incompetent during the previous 6 FBI background checks. I don't think you know what a background check is. Here you need three of these

What's going on is Democrat stall tactics.

And its so obvious its laughable. Why would Dem's embarrass themselves like this? Because the left wing of the Dem party is having a conniption fit over Dem's losing and they are trying to placate them.

What new information, a completely unsubstantiated accusation from 36 years that the other 4 people who supposedly were there already stated it never happened? Why not just claim Kavanaugh is a space alien from another dimension and demand the FBI investigate. No wait, Kavanaugh is a Russian deep cover spy. No wait, Kavanaugh once stirred his coffee counter clockwise a known racist secret handshake. Here I'll just give you a bunch of these for your next several posts.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I could care less how many tips the FBI gets a day. Has nothing to do with the point. Both the claims are extremely credible and I have no idea who Avenatti is

What makes either claim credible? the first one does not have enough details to be credible and the second one is so obviously false it is not even funny. The quote from the lady that the frat boy supposedly yelled is such bullshit. I am about the same age as Kavanaugh and there are too parts to her story that are totally made up. First, young men do not call other men by their full name, especially when they are drunk. In my 54 years on this earth I have never heard another many do that in such a situation. Second, no drunk 19 year old is going to use the word "penis" when talking about someone's dick. There are lot of names they have for it, penis is not one of them.

Youre just mad because people are calling the guy out for being a sexual predator.

Yes, I am mad that this person is being made out to be a sexual predator with zero evidence solely for political purposes. I am mad because it shows how low we as a country have fallen and I am mad because doing so diminishes those who have actually been victims of such actions and makes people less likely to believe them.

The fact that you are ok with this happening for political reasons shows that you have no moral compass at all, all that matters to you is politics and that makes you a piece of shit.

I have been one of the most vocal Trump critics on this forum for the last 1.5 years and this shit is making me defend him.

So, just go fuck yourself.

[martybegan]

Correct. Bush ordered the FBI to investigate. It was out of their jurisdiction at the time. Drumpf should do the same thing.

How is the distinction between FEDERAL and STATE laws and their respective jurisdictions escaping your notice?

It escapes my notice because it is irrelevant. It doesnt matter at all about jurisdictions once the POTUS orders the FBI to investigate.

So you are saying a President can make the FBI investigate and prosecute breaches in State law?

Are you really that stupid?

No. You added prosecute. I never claimed anything about prosecution. I said investigate.

Why would you investigate without prosecuting?

 

[Oldstyle]

After watching what the left has done with Kavanaugh...what person in their right mind would subject themselves to those kinds of unsubstantiated attacks? Brett Kavanaugh is so wholesomely clean he squeaks but that STILL didn't keep the "Resistance" from turning him into the second coming of Harvey Feinstein! Any of you out there in the world that think YOU'D have a snowball's chance in hell of weathering the attacks that Kavanaugh has had to endure?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Why doesn’t the GOP just replace the SC nominee for with someone just as conservative?”

Because this is about political perception.

If Kavanaugh fails to be confirmed, it will reflect poorly on Trump and the GOP – yet another Trump failure, yet more incompetence from the Republican Senate.

Republicans will force the Kavanaugh nomination through the process to save political face, no matter how unfit to sit on the Supreme Court Kavanaugh might be.

 

[oreo]

This is how batshit crazy the GOP is. They would rather “own the libs” than stick to any kind of moral principle and just replace him with some other right wing nut job.

I’m all for it though. The two moderate republican female senators will likely vote no when the confirmation comes thus putting the GOP into further turmoil. Yay for that.

I don't believe Niel Gorsuch nor Brett Kavanuagh are the ultra conservative that Republicans think they are.

After all these two came out of the G.W. Bush administration in year 2006. At a time when Democrats owned the Senate and could have easily rejected them, like they did with many other nominees of G.W. Bush for Federal Court appointments.

Niel Gorsuch stated during confirmations hearings that Roe V Wade is precedent in the Constitution meaning set in stone, and the only reason Kavanaugh attracted Trump's attention is Kavanaugh is on record stating Presidents shouldn't be prosecuted while they're in office. But Presidents are not above the law, and we do have impeachment proceedings that serve that purpose.
Analysis | Does Brett Kavanaugh think the president is immune from criminal charges?
Gorsuch to Feinstein: Abortion ruling is 'precedent'

Here are the Democrats that confirmed both Niel Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in 2006.

Your question why don't they just get someone else? The whole purpose of this was for Democrats to stall until after the midterm election cycle. If Democrats can pull off a win in the Senate it will be they that determine the SCOTUS. Plus they're still pissed that Republicans didn't give Merrick Garland, Obama's last nominee a chance and instead used it to campaign on in the 2016 election. Republicans have all the risk in this. And that risk are WOMEN VOTERS. The largest voting block in this country today.

But to be clear. The above Democrats liked Niel Gorsuch & Brett Kavanaugh. It's just politics 101.
