She may, in fact, be credible but that doesn't mean she is correct. Ask any police officer and they will confirm that by far the least accurate testimony is 'eye witness'. People see and believe what they want to believe and see. Way too many holes in her story of many things that she can't remember but knows '100%' that it was Kavanaugh who assaulted her even though not a single shred of evidence backs up her claim? I believe that it's entirely possible that SOMETHING happened to her and, if so, I hope she gets the help she needs and the perpetrator is found. However, there is NOTHING to suggest it was Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh has been vetted by the FBI SEVEN times now and this just happens to come up now? Isn't the US Federal Court of Appeals the second highest court in the land? And, hasn't he served admirably on this distinguished court without a hint of scandal or personal failure? How is it that, conveniently, 'witnesses' come out of the weeds later than the last minute to try to stop his appointment to the SCOTUS? I think anyone with half a brain knows what is happening here. I am not a staunch Republican by any means and did not vote for Trump until I was left with Hillary as the only opposing candidate. But, this is a disgrace what the Democrats are doing.
I completely disagree with your last paragraph. The Democrats are desperate and it doesn't matter who Trump nominates, they were NEVER EVER going to vote to approve. Unless Trump nominates a far left liberal judge, the Democrats are not going to vote 'yes'. Their only hope is to delay until mid-term elections are held and take back the Senate. God help us if they do. The far, far left faction of the party is determining policy and strategy way too much for my comfort. Impeaching Trump just because you don't like him is a dangerous precedent and is generally only found in 3rd world countries.
Finally, how many of us would stand up to the intense scrutiny displayed in Kavanaugh's case if someone from 35 years ago accused us of sexual assault? It's impossible to prove a negative (i.e., I didn't do something) but that's what the Democrats and the media are requiring of Kavanaugh. It's a sham and purely political. And, some of the Democrats throwing the most stones have very questionable events in their past that the media is conveniently ignoring. Shame on all of those making a mockery of this process. I disagree with Ruth Bader Ginsberg on almost every major issue but she was confirmed 96-3 and has publicly stated that this confirmation is a disgrace. I couldn't agree more.
