In a sane world, this would have been enough to disqualify him on the spot

[Rajvik]

Any one stupid enough to look at an investigation and say "Sure, go ahead, I have nothing to hide." in this political climate, is naive to the point of near stupidity. When a DEMOCRAT nominates someone, its against the rules for anyone to question their appointees, and yet we have Chuck Schumer saying this the morning after Kavenaugh's appointment announcement.

Thats a CBS interview, so no claiming anti-democrat bias. What the democrats have done is dirty pool, regardless of the credibility of the accusation, (to which there, according to the sex crimes prosecutor that the republicans brought in to ask their questions of Dr Ford, is none)

now some of you will claim that what the Republicans did with Obama's choice was also dirty pool, to a degree i can agree with you on that. But what the effect of what they did with that appointment was say, "We are not calling a confirmation vote, because we are not going to confirm you." was it blatently political, yes. But at least they were honest about it.
