    In other news, some people have a risktaking gene. They have gambling problems, have been known to drink to excess, and just might be guilty of sexual assault. Do we want someone taking risks with our constitution?

    No, that's why it's important to get conservatives onto the court.

    Unfortunately some people's idea of conservativism is to defend anything a president does as executive privilege if he has an R behind his name.

    Perhaps on a very superficial level, but I doubt superficiality is a problem on the Supreme Court.

    They've done it before in similar circumstances.

    To clarify my statement. The FBI cannot conduct a criminal investigation with the intention of superseding local primary jurisdiction in a state criminal matter. They could as a matter of a background investigation, conduct interviews and forward their results to the Senate. There has been no accusation of a federal crime so the FBI has no interest or authoriAtion to conduct a criminal investigation. That’s up to the Maryland County agency holding venue where the alledged actions occurred.

    Now we know why the republicans have been so resistant of the FBI getting involved. Team kavanaugh has been plotting a royal coverup and is trying to smear an innocent classmate of his.

    That is truly terrible. What lengths those scum balls are willing to go to. If K is involved one more reason he is not fit to sit on the court.

    I skimmed this story. It is still the Ford story, right? The one where he is, what , sixteen years old? The one where eveyone us drunk, in high school, partying, right?
