if you can't handle emotional stress you probably shouldn't be on the supreme court.

Oh really? Does the job description of a supreme court justice contain getting accused of rape by someone you don't remember, so that you can be stopped from attaining the most prestigious possible job in your career line? Get real.

Nothing he said at the circus should influence anything. To do this job, you must be impeccable in the fields of US constitution, and law. That's it. Not liking someone as a person does not make him "unqualified." That's essentially what you're saying, but dressing it up so it's not so transparent - you don't like him, so he's not qualified. Yeah, no. Not gonna fly with me.

Even IF Kavanaugh is rejected and IF the Democrats manage to hold their 23 seats AND pick up two Republican seats in the election, there is literally NOTHING stopping the Republicans from using the two months between their election loss and the Democratic majority to get a new nominee and ram them through the confirmation process. In fact, at THAT point, the Republicans literally have nothing to lose and no reason not to do exactly that.

So please, explain again how the Democrats stand to gain from levying a false accusation.

I already did. Even if they don't stop the appointment, at the very least they're rallying the sheep for the midterms, and hoping to convince fence-sitters to join their side with this circus. Plus, if they can stall this nomination, they'll stall the next one, too. There's always someone like Ford willing to take money to lie.

It is a complete farce that something like this can actually stall the nomination, and the rest of the world is laughing at the US right now. Everyone is waking up to the fact that a once mighty country has completely lost it.
