General question--how is this the "eve" or "11th hour" of anything? The committee vote is Thursday, full vote will follow, and First Monday is weeks away. Also, what is the rush? Last time there was a vacancy it was no problem to have an 8 member Court for a year. Even if you want to confirm before the elections, that is several weeks away.
A serious charge has been made against the nominee. It is not "unsubstantiated" but there is little evidence to support the claim at this point. Isn't Sen. Graham right that the Committee should hear from the alleged victim of what would be at least an assault to assess her credibility and then make a judgment?
The fact that many of this board instantly reject the claims shows that they could care less and just want the win. I guess that is fine, but don't act like the "dems" are any more unprincipled than yourself.
(Maybe the other thread is where we can discuss what Sen. Feinstien should've done with the letter in July.)
Or we have two brain cells to rub together and see this for what it is.
