Grassley Isn't Dumb
Kavanaugh Will Be Seated On The Supreme Court
As Promised In Grassley's Opening Statements
And Since
I'll Watch To See A Vote
The Minute Kav And Ford's Testimony Ends
Her Lawyers Can Stall To The Wire
Then The Vote
Testimony Or Not
This hearing will make for great campaign ads.
Guilty until proven innocent.
No cross examination for the accused.
Nonsense, more ignorance from the right.
The American people can keep Kavanaugh off the Court if they believe he likely committed sexual assault and lied about it; Kavanaugh serves or doesn't serve at the pleasure of the people, subject to their determination as to whether he’s fit to serve – this is not a state verses a criminal defendant process, it’s a political process.
Kavanaugh is not being charged with a crime or prosecuted, he would have the right to due process if that were the case.
Republicans, predictably, want to twist this into the American people being compelled to prove Kavanaugh is ‘guilty’ consistent with the standards of criminal due process, or failing to do so, Kavanaugh gets the appointment.
He doesn't get the appointment if the American people say he doesn't merit the job, for whatever reason or reasons; should the people decide Blasey Ford is being truthful, then Kavanaugh doesn’t sit on the Supreme Court.
