The Dems may not like what the GOP Senators consider "disqualifying" going forward

[hadit]

Kavenaugh will be forced through
We will have to see who has the Senate and White House for the rest

That is still yet to be seen, and "forced through" is a less than accurate portrayal. All that needs to happen for Kavanaugh to be confirmed is receiving the votes required to be confirmed, and no one is forcing anyone to do that. Republicans and Democrats can vote any way they want on the confirmation.

He will receive his vote regardless of the findings of the FBI
That is why McConnell has already scheduled a vote

We already know the democrats will vote against him, so what's the purpose of the investigation? Is it really just to placate the trained seals?

After the dems put up such a circus against Kavanaugh, one of the most qualified candidates in history, what repercussions can the dems expect from the GOP going forward. IMHO any "sexual misconduct" (including bringing the big dog out) is one, any "juvenile transgression" (theft, underage drinking, etc.), any drug use, including marijuana, any DUI, any PFA, any felony, etc.

I'm sure the FBI or Senate investigators could find something disqualifying on any and all democrat nominees going forward. If they can even find anyone to run that gauntlet.

This is what Republicans call disqualifying:

Helping children

Healthcare for the average American

Telling the truth

Helping those with pre existing conditions

That's what stupid people think Republicans would say.

But in a speech on the Senate floor in June 1992, Mr. Biden, then the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said there should be a different standard for a Supreme Court vacancy “that would occur in the full throes of an election year.” The president should follow the example of “a majority of his predecessors” and delay naming a replacement, Mr. Biden said. If he goes forward before then, the Senate should wait to consider the nomination.

Joe Biden Argued for Delaying Supreme Court Picks in 1992

Delaying the retirement of at least one justice.

LOLOL

Your own link says Biden argued for "delaying" a pick.

In what rightard world is "delaying," cancelled?

The purpose is to investigate serious charges in his past
Why are Republicans willing to overlook them?

Being an Obama nominee.

That's enough to destroy a life, for sure, but how's that the Republican's fault?

Who blocked his confirmation hearings if not Republicans?

Blocking his hearing was wrong, as I have maintained all along. It did not, however, destroy his life, family, or career. No one accused him of misconduct, no one sent the FBI to interview people about allegations from his childhood, no one came out of the woodwork with tales carefully crafted so as to be almost impossible to verify, and on it goes. Aside from being associated with Obama, nothing negative happened to him, as no one used anything from his life and career as a reason to vote against him.

Contrast that with the concerted attempt to personally destroy Kavanaugh by any means necessary and possible. It seems that you're trying to equate the two and excuse what's going on as a consequence. That's ludicrous.

You play with the cards you’re dealt. Democrats didn’t have a hand where they had any control over blocking Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

And that's as it should be, because they lost the election. So, instead of playing the hand they had, they decided attempting to destroy Kavanaugh personally was a great idea, hoping to gin up emotions from the emotional crew against him instead of factual, reasoned opposition. They've tainted themselves for a long time with this.

And trying to compare what Kavanaugh is going through to Garland's experience is still ludicrous. Garland was simply a victim of political circumstance and was treated respectfully. Kavanaugh is not. Garland will simply be himself the rest of his life. Kavanaugh will undeservedly have idiots calling him a rapist.

Uh, no... this was the hand they were dealt and they're playing it.

Most of us already know the true purpose is to delay...dumbass.

Really?
A delay of a couple weeks to get the facts?

Seems to me he is a very wet and active drunk.

Yet, he is the pick of the President. Either he gets a confirmation vote or he does not.

Don't have the votes? Tough shit.

Don't have the votes to stop it? Tough shit.

Use Senate rules to prevent Court appointments? Rules get changed.

The point of advice and consent is to determine qualifications. The guy sat on the 2nd highest court for more than a decade. The allegations against him are nearly 4 decades old.

This is Dems ONCE AGAIN trying to prevent the consequences of a presidential election.

Explain it to Garland

Kavenaugh got what he deserved, so did Thomas

Kavanaugh gets what he deserves when he is seated on the USSC. Hopefully this week...Thomas (age 70) should retire soon so Trump can put a nice young justice on the USSC, then its an RBG (age 85) retirement watch...any day now...any day now...then again Breyer (age 80) could retire soon too...

Only if Republicans retain control of the Senate. Should Democrats, against all odds, win control, there will be no more confirmation hearings until Trump is out of office.

The McConnell Rule.

It is the way things work now. A vacancy can last for years
Unless Trump wants to nominate Garland

 

[Hiryuu]

The possibility of the investigation stumbling across some facts of any kind is quite encouraging seeing as we are so dreadfully short of any as is.

They looked at the charges and rapidly realized there was nothing in them that could be verified and there were huge gaps in them. In a case where you can't prove a charge one way or the other, the defendant gets the support. No one's overlooking anything.

What facts will persuade any democrat to vote for Kavanaugh?
