    Well stick a fork in it. I really doubt the Rs are gonna fight the Mormons on this one, especially with 4 on the Judiciary committee

    It seems that this "Mormon group" is not actually affiliated with the LDS Church. Edited for Clarity

    Yeah, this was all a political zoo with the Dems throwing bombs without thought or reason. Even IF the accusations are true (which I highly doubt) they way the Dems presented them was completely bullshit and only enhanced the pushback against the Metoo movement.

    So? They are improbably powerful and influential. 4 of the members of the Judiciary Committee are Mormon. Do you really think they are going to buck their own church over this?

    I am consulting a real live LDS Bishop right now... one second.

    O.K. - Here it is.

    "Mormon" is just a "nickname". In fact, they cannot use "Later Day Saints". They do not represent the Church.

    It's a damn shame the NY Times cannot share that information right up front. What a worthless rag.

    I hope they can keep their cults ideology out of politics.

    Otherwise, it may be time to find someone else to sit in that seat.

    I remember a time when the Republican leaders were not comfortable with excluding 120,000 writings of the candidate.

    Another large block of hundreds of thousands of pages needs another month to be catalogued by the National Archives.

    But mysteriously, the Republicans MUST be confirm this WEEK even though the nominee last time were delayed for A YEAR for 100% partisan reasons and against the Constitution.

    There is **** going on, but it is the Republicans doing. Let's just wait a year while this **** calms down!

    Sure, we all are very aware of what Religious tribunals have produced in the past, such as the Salem Witch tirals, the Spanish Inquisition, the Catholic pope declaring Galileo a heretic and a blasphemer, the beheading of the infidels etc.

    So it might be best to stay with the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" and the construct that the burden of proof is upon the accusers, not the defendant. Also the defendant accused, is entitled to a "speedy" trial, not a long drawn out circus show designed to slander the defendant for as long as possible, using the repetition of media headlines.

    Accusations without corroboration, or evidence, are hearsay, supposition, conjecture, and slander. Without any evidence, corroborating witness, police report, medical report, the accusation must be dismissed, otherwise the defendant's 4th amendment right, the right to privacy is violated because probable cause has not been established.

    Thanks for the info. I think most people hear "Mormon" and think of LDS.

    Will see if mods will add that info into the OP

    An activist group formed in response to Trump's election, sounds unbiased to me!

    This is what has motivated the left since the 2016 election. From the moment Trump won, leftists set about their plans to remove him from office by any means necessary. The cabal that put this plan into motion cares nothing for the law, the Constitution, or the people its members set out to ruin as they have Brett Kavanaugh.

    There are no words to adequately describe how venal these conspirators among the congressional left are, how low they are prepared to go. To this day, not one Democrat has spoken out against this monstrous plan to destroy a fine man who has led an impeccable life. Not one. Each and every one of them knows that this is an odious campaign based on lies, but not one of them will admit to this fact. The Democratic Party is officially deplorable in every sense of the word.

    Sorry folks, the group in question isn't affiliated with the church. They have no sway and therefore my OP is inaccurate.

    All religions start out as cults.
    It's when they gain money and power, they become religions.
    Mormon is a religion.

    Well, I saw the gold plates and they say that Kav in innocent and was wearing the proper underwear at the time of the alleged incident. Mormons will believe that!

    Thanks for the edit Cubed. Helps make my "who gives a crap" that much more validity.

    But how is it that the NY Times came up with this misleading dog whistle?

    Probably made the same mistake most people make and see Mormon and assume they are part of the church.

    Pretty sad when this messageboard is better and faster at fact checking then the NYTimes
