The left wing press is absolutely motivated to skewer this guy.

Mob mentality on display.

If this is entirely a left wing mob devoid of facts, then why were similar machinations not on display during Gorsuch’s hearing?

they’ll smear any nomination from Trumps admin.

Then why not do the same thing to Gorsuch? I they wanted to stack the courts, then trying to flip a right wing judge (Scalia) into a left wing judge would be a 2 for 1 - even better, right?

If they left is as morally bankrupt as you seem to presume, why would they have waited until Kavanaugh to roll out the smear machine and not Gorsuch when they had months and months to prepare for whoever would be nominated for Merrick Garland’s seat.

Then why not do the same thing to Gorsuch?

Because the maneuver is only viable so many times.

Whenever you get real like this, you end up outraging the public.

The democrats would never do this if the majority in the courts wouldn't really matter to them. I wonder if spygate has anything to do with this.

But they had months to prepare for Garland’s replacement, and no guarantee that another seat would open up during Trump’s term. If they’re willing to fabricate these types of claims, why would they not do it during the first nomination, especially considering the circumstances of its vacancy offering the perfect excuse for any dirty tricks they wanted to pull.

Because they didn't have a chance with Gorsuch. It was too early, and they wouldn't have a chance to win a drag-out fight like this.

They just rolled on the first one.

They have a genuine chance to win this here. If they can fight long enough - drag this out till the midterms. Hold this seat open... maybe they'd do well in the senate races, they'd be in a very good position to dictate the next pick.

Do you really think that FBI investigation will tell us anything that won't be subject to partisan bias?

The rape train-allegations won't stick, even with leftists, and the other 2 allegations are filled with nothing but uncertainty and vagueness. Nothing will ever be clear here - which was exactly the point.

Notice how they are now saying that a week of investigation wasn't enough.
