I wouldn’t blame any Judge who decided it just wasn’t worth it. Next time anyone claims that Biden is in any way a good man, recall his role in this high tech lynching.

But can they really lynch a woman day after day (in public) as they would a man? I wonder…
Might send more women votes to Trump.
Biden is almost literally one of those people you wonder how much of it is evil, and how much of it is incompetence.

I agree Ben, but the Left can’t help themselves. Additionally they will be consumed with even more rage against a traitor woman in their eyes. Lots of these folks are far from rational.
I suppose the female dems will need to do the dirty work while white male dems bite their tongues a bit
The situations were a tad different in that no one doubted that Thomas and Hill were acquainted and had mundane dealings with each other over a period of three years.
With the Kavanaugh case, the conduct of the opposition was surreal. There are so many candidates for the most lurid aspect of the whole deal that it’s hard to identify which one it was. Perhaps it was Sheldon Whitehorse trying form criticism on Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook. Or maybe it was James Roche on national televisions issuing condemnations of someone with whom he’d shared a dormitory suite – for a period of four months 34 years earlier (one of the other men who’d spent some time assigned to the suite offered as an explanation that Kavanaugh kept his distance from them and he and his friends were slobs, leaving clots of vomit on the floor of the bathroom).
Waal, if she ever dated someone like Craig Maizin or James Roche, they might have some fodder. They’d have to be very careful trying to use that, though. Publicly grassing up an old flame is quite status lowering, unless you can tease a stand-up routine or a country song out of it.
I hope that the dems will be mindful that if they are as vicious as they were with Bork, Thomas and Kavanaugh there will be sympathy votes against them. Or maybe not.
[The Left] will be consumed with even more rage against a traitor woman in their eyes.
That’s key. She’s not a real woman, according to the standards of the left, so she’s fair game. And the media will back the up all the way, so it’s hard to say how many sympathy votes there will be.
My guess is that the undecideds are undecided because they just don’t care. So the important thing is to win the fight. Winning the fight encourages your base and discourages theirs (or at least it doesn’t make them any more outraged than they already are). Whereas losing the fight discourages your base and encourages theirs.
Appeals to decency and fairness only work when their couched in terms of punishing the opposition for their lack of decency and fairness,
Ernst Schreiber,
BINGO!
Why have hearings at all? They are not legally required and obviously have become nothing but a partisan circus. Graham says he has the votes. Nominate, vote and swear in. Could be done in three days.
The likely candidates have all received confirmation in the last three years. Pass the nominee in committee, 30 minutes of speech time per member, two hours q and a with the nominee. On the floor give each senator an hour to speak and keep the Senate in continuous session for the one hundred hours it would take. Done in a week.
