Glad to see there are still a few level-headed FReepers left.
These allegations are so weak and desperate, they will never be proven - but the Left never expected to prove them - they have another very strong card to play: bait the Republicans into appearing cavalier and dismissive.
This is why they present nothing concrete, no dates no locations - and why the stories are purposely laced with drunkeness and hazy recollections - the Left is HOPING the Republicans will get fed up and toss the allegations aside and vote.
Then they can launch part two: they will accuse the Republicans of pushing the confirmation through without due process.
That has been their plan all along. Grassley is wise to avoid that reaction at all costs. Like Trump said - So what if there’s a delay - that’s OK!.
This is is a terrible shame and very unfair - but really a small price to pay for a more conservative SCOTUS.
I say dot every “i” and cross every “t”. Don’t cut any corners - that’s what they want us to do.
If I read one more post from someone who claims Charles Grassley is a naïve fool, I'm going to vomit all over my keyboard.
The guy is 85 years old and has been in politics for more than five decades. Does anyone really believe he doesn't see the political landmines in front of him? He's one of a very tiny group of sitting U.S. Senators today who was around for BOTH the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas confirmation debacles.
