It looks like I spoke too soon when I said that the Kavanaugh confirmation process never reached the nauseating lows of the Bork and Thomas hearings. The Washington Times reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has asked federal investigators to probe a secret complaint about Kavanaugh. The complaint, reportedly lodged by woman, pertains to an incident that supposedly occurred when Kavanaugh and the women were in high school.
The woman passed her complaint to Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat. She apparently is unwilling to come forward publicly to talk about the alleged incident. Buzzfeed contacted the woman rumored to have lodged the complaint. She refused to comment.
The Anita Hill ambush of Clarence Thomas was bad enough. But at least Hill was willing to stand publicly behind her claims. And at least those claims, though not coming close to stating a case of sexual harassment, were less than a decade old.
A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley said that Grassley is aware of the referral. He added that “there is no plan to change the committee’ consideration of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination.”
Nor should there be. No nomination should be derailed by ancient claims of misconduct made by someone who is unwilling publicly to state them. In an era where partisans try to bribe Senators into voting against a nominee, it will always be possible to find someone willing to make secret allegations of misconduct from the distant past.
Indeed, there’s no reason why the FBI, which has vetted Kavanaugh multiple times since 1993, should investigate a claim pertaining to an event that may have occurred 35 years ago, when Kavanaugh was a teenager. If Kavanaugh committed a crime, the time to accuse him was decades ago. If he didn’t commit a crime, who cares what happened

Martha Mac Callum’s show had someone on who said that the FBI doesn’t have any interest in investigating such a claim and implied that it wouldn’t happen. I don’t know how they would dare when their IN BASKET is full of the garbage left over from obozo’s days and the 2016 campaign! They might have a hint how the public would view such a fast reaction and be ashamed.. HA HA HA
“”I don’t know anything about Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat.””
That’s ALL you need to know about her.
That’s it, this will be my letter to the FBI. In 1965, I was asked out on a date with a guy named, “Raunchy Brooks”. He was the bad boy of my California school. No matter, he had a bitchin Woody with a bitchin board on top and a crazy name. So he took me to a bitchin pool party ten miles out of our desert town. There was marijuana, boos and a pretty wild group of people. Well, Raunchy got scary fresh and I weirded out, I left and began walking on this dark desert highway, the wind in my hair. I walked and walked until,I came across a house with lights on.....I knocked on the door to use their phone. Called my folks to pick me up....I could have died that night and will never forget, I was traumatized, also grounded for a month. I want Raunchy, if he’s alive, investigated.
Super - that took some thinking but good job...
Thanks, because you are the only one who has convinced me that Kavanaugh should not be approved for the USSC.
This is an excellent post./s
I knew it was going to be nasty chaos the day PDJT was elected...I just didn’t know it’d reach the depths of pathetic that it has become.
I mean, is this the type of behavior the Democrats would want next time the shoe is on the other foot? They’re so stupid to think this’ll work, it’s just embarrassing, everyone sees straight through it and they just harm their reputation. ....but then those with no class don’t realize they’ve no class, they actually believe it is clever.
I knew this was going to happen once the “progs” had 24 hour access to legalized, recreational “medical” marijuana.
Can’t tell how many times, with how many women, and how many different places, I did “nasty” things with in H.S. and College, All I remember it was fun for the both (or others) of us.
That’s a good point. He wasn’t a doper kid selling himself to aging queers for dope money like our favorite Choom Gang hero.
The eight cases of dynamite that I had in high school would probably get me executed if I was going for appointment.
How do pubic hairs get on Coke cans? And who drinks coke out of a can?
Never mind I don’t wanna know any of that. LOL
I heard he ate a booger once when he was 2.
I made thermite in 10th grade chemistry (we were allowed, no, encouraged to do anything as long as we could document it).
When I set it off it burned through the bench top, the metal cabinet, and the floor into the English room below.
Iron oxide + aluminum chloride + mercury igniter.
They don’t make ‘em like Mr. Osborne any more.
I can’t knock you for that. BTW, I lived in the CA desert in my teens. I was pretty wild never did that to a female, then or since. Sorry for your bad experience.
My favorite actress!
Don't be too hasty. My own son is a High School chemistry teacher.
Can you imagine that we may have had pigtail pullers and even high school friend hand dipping into warm water pranking people on our Supreme Court up til now???? Thank goodness now we screen for this. How many bedwetters and classroom burpers have we entrusted to rule our legal system all these years???
I hope my behavior never surfaces.
