Are DEMS Apolitical?

For my benefit what do they know now that they didn’t know then?

The confirmation hearings were highly contentious. Had they known about his potential vulnerability with his extracurricular activities, I seriously doubt they would have selected hm. Obviously once he was in the hot seat they couldn’t pull his nomination. That would have played right into DEM’s hands.

Thanks. I was under the impression there was an organisation that provided Trump with a list of potential candidates. Wouldn’t that organisation have done some vetting prior to including that person on the list?

Yes. But they obviously couldn’t foresee the circus that played out during his confirmation hearings.

I ran across this Chris Cillizza analysis in CNN (I call it an op-ed). I find it laughable that he believes a LIB SCOTUS would be apolitical.

New revelations about the paper-thin look the FBI took into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation fight is a potent reminder that even the nation’s highest court is now infected with partisan politics.

SCOTUS has never been apolitical, its kinda a broken system.

Yep…all the way back to John Marshall whose actions seemed geared to piss off Thomas Jefferson at every turn.

It was the Heritage Foundation who groomed and selected for ideological purity

Don’t you Cons all think the FBI is corrupt anyway?

At the top levels of our intelligence agencies, yes…they’ve been corrupted and Comey, Strozk, McCabe and Page are proof.

What the ■■■■ was the FBI supposed to do with a 30 year old allegation that had zero credibility?

And the accuser was a psychologist whose specialty is research into creating false memories.

Well, had they looked into some of the 4500 tips, maybe they would have found some corroboration.

Don’t you Cons all think the FBI is corrupt anyway? Do ya’ll intend to ignore this example because it’s politically inconvenient?

Tips about and/or corroboration about what exactly? Even according to Ford’s testimony there was virtually no one at the so-called party. Furthermore, any other woman could have came forward the same way Ford did.

A it seems like maybe some tried and were ignored.

We aren’t going to replay Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing in this thread are we? That’s already been beat to death and in today’s reality irrelevant.
