That's because you can say whatever the hell you want now and it's taken as gospel if you're on the correct political side.
So if you have an ex that has an agenda and she decides one day that she wants to get the best of you. She goes on Twitter and says that you got drunk one night and pulled your dick out and tried to force feed it to her. She then goes straight to the news and the media takes the story before your side is heard and runs with it. Youre saying that youre perfectly happy to be presumed guilty?
I think you need to see the full picture here. Youre a smart guy RedDuke. Im not here to argue with you.
I do see the full picture, and that is why this hearing is so important. She does not show up, easy, he gets confirmed. If they both perform on the same footing and no other evidence is provided, then it would be up to each senator to make a decision when they vote. My personal vote would be to confirm, since I strongly believe innocent until proven guilty.
My main point is that for such a critical and life time appointment all sides need to be heard.
