Doubt MSNBC will even mention this letter.
65 women who knew Brett Kavanaugh in high school defend his character
In light of allegations of sexual assault, 65 women say Kavanaugh always “treated women with respect.”
Sixty-five women who knew Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in high school have testified to his good character in
a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, in light of recently surfaced allegations that he tried to force himself on a girl during his time at Georgetown Preparatory School, an all-boys school in Bethesda, Maryland.
65 women who knew Brett Kavanaugh in high school defend his character
I imagine you could get at least 65 women to attest to Trump's good character--"well maybe not."--
It's a little more than political than this. Let's face it--it was a brilliant political maneuever by Diane Feinstein who apparently had this letter for who knows how long. So she lets Kavaunaugh in the gate,let's him go through confirmation hearings and waits until the last minute--knowing it would stall the process, and hold up the vote.
Democrats are still pissed that Republicans didn't give Merrick Garland (Obama's last nominee a chance) so they could campaign on the SCOTUS, so it's payback time. They're trying to stall until after the midterm election cycle. If Democrats can take the Senate they will be the ones that will dictate who the next Supreme Court Justice is.
BUT I really don't know why Republicans are so upset about this, because in reality there is nothing special in Niel Gorsuch nor Brett Kavanuagh. At least (not in the way Republicans think they are.)
They have both ran the Democrat Gaunlet under G.W. Bush. Both were G.W. Bush nominees coming out of
2006, at a time when Democrats owned the Senate & were in charge of confirming Federal Court Justices. While Democrats turned down many of G.W's nominees, they confirmed both Niel Gorsuch & Brett Kavanaugh to Federal court Judgeships. Niel Gorsuch is the first nominee in my memory who stated during confirmation hearings that
ROE V WADE is precedent in the Constitution, meaning set in stone to you.
Gorsuch to Feinstein: Abortion ruling is 'precedent'
IOW these same Democrats would have also voted for & confirmed Brett Kavanaugh. You'll note that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton & Diane Feinstein confirmed them both.
Where Republicans run the risk of confirming Kavanaugh prior to an investigation, is with
women. Women have an unfavorable opinion of Trump. He is in the tank at 27% and we're headed into the midterm election cycle. Therefore by installing Kavanaugh without an investigation will only add fuel to that flre. The worse case scenario for Republicans, is if what this woman is stating is true, and it comes out after he becomes SCOTUS.
Holy skeetshe.
Seven in 10 Women Have Unfavorable Opinion of Trump
So Republicans are stuck in a corner on this one. It would be in their best interest to play along and do an investigation, & then have her testify before confirming Kavanaugh.
Women are the largest voting block in this country today--they carry a very big punch in the voting booth. Women are already pissed, and you can click this link that will redirect you to another thread on this board to see if for yourself.
