now the left can use 'he's a rapist' to try to impeach him, and potentially hold up any court decisions during a 'Russia Collusion'-esque investigation, that will take years to go nowhere. Whereas, had the two 'swings' voted no, Barrett would be the likely replacement, and I don't think the dems could politically survive a similar assault on her. Is this just the beginning of the age of obstructionist witch hunts?
It wouldn't have mattered who the nominee for confirmation was. Diverse scandalous allegations would have been brought forth. Even if nothing at all could be found, scandalous allegations would still abound.
Even such "Liberal Thinkers" like Alan Dershowitz is saying that the Democrats would be foolish to try such a stunt. In fact, prior to the confirmation he even called it a "sexual McCarthyism" and that it should never have happened. And while I have not always supported his views, I have always admired his integrity. He has no problem calling either side to the carpet if he thinks they are behaving foolishly. And when he is telling his own political side they are acting like idiots, they would truly be idiots if they did not listen to him. https://video.foxnews.com/v/5845524862001/?intcmp=obnetwork#sp=show-clips
Being a woman won't save you from being knowingly falsely accused of serial gang rape. Got to find a nominee who is not yet born. Even then you might get accused of sexual assault for inconveniencing the mother.
