But it shouldn't be like this. It was so painfully obvious this was a bad decision. Long before the accusations came to light he was the most unpopular nominee we've had in a very VERY long time. When you have that, the one side pushing for it should stop for a moment and say "Why is this the most unpopular candidate".
People are trying to argue that the main accuser made up the accusations. Really? Does anyone honestly believe that a fifty something year old college educated woman is going to risk everything by lying under oath in front of the US Senate just because Democrats put her up to that? No, I refuse to believe that. If that was remotely true this would happen with every Supreme Court justice. No one came forward and accused the first man Trump nominated and put on the Supreme Court.
What's happening here is obvious. Trump - and the Republicans - want to put their man on the Supreme Court RIGHT FUCKING NOW because there is a damn good chance that after the midterms they won't be able to.
It's disgusting. When Obama tried to put someone on the Supreme Court at the end of his term the Republicans insisted they wait. Oddly enough now there is a huge mad rush to push this true.
Whatever. Let's see what the midterms bring. If Democrats sweep the midterms it will be very dangerous for Trump. They will be able to launch investigation after investigation. You can take politics out of it - Usually the party who has control of the Oval Office loses in the midterms.
Eventually there will be many, many more investigations. The wheels of justice move very slowly. This is just starting. Watergate and Whitewater took six years each. We are not even at the half way point yet.
