Honestly I don't think this is going to turn out well for the Democrats. Too may people on both sides of the political aisle still value truth, justice, and the presumption of innocence over the exercise of raw power and unprovable allegations.
LOL ya right both sides of the political aisle only care about their side of the aisle don't be so naive. The republicans are trying desperately to stack the SC and the dems are trying desperately to stop that from happening until they can do the stacking... The only reason Murkowski and Harris were thinking of breaking the party line on this vote before is the abortion issue and the importance of that 1 issue to their personal political careers IE the women in their states that voted for them... Otherwise it would have almost surely been a full partly line vote. The dems knew this and targeted those 2 women so hard, you can be sure the republicans were doing the same behind closed doors.
Well Flying Hellfish I don't think we are going to see eye to eye on this one.
We could debate whether the accusation of attempted rape is life destroying or not or whether it is appropriate for an accuser to demand the FBI investigation of their accusation before they are willing to testify but I don't see much point to that.
I do believe that the majority of Americans care deeply about fairness and truth over political power and posturing. Am I naive? Perhaps time will tell.
I would suggest not getting your hopes too high, however, Kavanaugh's likely to be narrowly confirmed, Republicans are likely to hold the Senate and given the age of the current Justices I would not be surprised if Trump gets a third SC nomination in his first term.
