Why aren't democrats believing Keith Ellison's accuser?You're disgusting. character assassination is bad enough, but to put partisanship before country is deplorable.
In context, McConnell's misfeasance in not bringing forward President Obama's nominee based on the excuse it was too close to a national election, is doubled down by you and the GOP who argue times are different and Trump's nominee must be vetted and approved before the next national election.
oh but her potential character assasination is cool with you.
No it's not "cool with" me. The allegation is not beyond the realm of reality, nor is the nominees denial.
The issue is not settled, the allegation must be taken seriously. As the lady said, each partisan side will argue differently, but there is no evidence yet in which I'm aware, presented, to tilt the issue to one side or the other.
As a former manager of Domestic Violence coalitions I've seen my share of :He said, She said: situations. Somewhere there will be evidence for the trier of facts - in this case the Senate - to make a judgment.
If the event occurred as stated by the alleged victim, what he did at 17 is not as relevant to the nomination as If he lied about it, if so, he should be denied the nomination.
What is this about "lying about it?" How could he have lied to the Senate about something he didn't know existed until this past week? Is this a projection, if he is later somehow found to have done this?
A lie is an attempt to mislead someone, in this case the public. Keep in mind, the Clinton Impeachment was based on something Jones said, and later morphed into the Lewinsky matter. Clinton was impeached for his effort to mislead authority.
Being drunk and in a black out does not excuse any crime committed in the eyes of the law. Kavanaugh's response was "no way, no how" that any such event happened.
Time will tell what the Senate decides, but given McConnell's latest comments, parties come first (he will protect this wife's job, his leadership and his party as jobs # 1, 2 & 3). Country First has always been only a talking point for him.
I'm a Democrat and I believe allegations of domestic abuse (DV is too common unfortunately). Thus your premise is wrong. This was not a case of DV; if as described by the victim's allegation, it was an attempted rape, a felony (most DV Cases are Misdemeanors, BTW).
