You forgot to mention the other side of the coin: either you sell your conscience and soul to save your ass in November. Or you take the moral high ground and want an investigation regardless of the fuck ups democrats created with Feinstein. I don't think even Senators in hot seats have much to fear in November from their own base. Who else are those people gonna vote for anyway?
I hope to god he gets confirmed, but i think hes toast..... any republican who votes against him based on this is just setting themselves up to be destroyed..... Republicans have the choice right here.... either you allow "yourselves to be destroyed" or you take stand..... we will see...... but if they let themselves lose based on this, then they are dead, every single nutjob in the world will come out of the woodwoorks in the next election
If accusations without facts, from 36 years ago are enough to derail somebody...... look out, cause this is now the way politics will operate.
