This Kavanaugh confirmation has shed some light on these FBI investigative background checks for me. They should be done to a depth on par with the highest security clearances. Do we really want appointees on any federal court with blackmail-worthy skeletons in their closet?

the skeletons are the least of kavanaugh's problems. he's unfit on every possible level, from temperament to extreme beliefs to disregard for the rule of law or the concept of justice to being a misogynistic pig (my apologies to pigs).

This "investigation" was a sham. trump engineered the instruction to the FBI in a limited manner to enhance the view that there is no corroboration of Fords claim. I can't believe the Democratic Senators fell into this trap and are only now aware of what was done. Most of these Senators are attorneys. They should have seen this coming.

in what way did they fall into a trap? did they have the power to make the fbi do their bidding? they're not in control of the senate. they knew as soon as trump opened his mouth what was happening. i don't understand why you think they didn't. but what the hell were they supposed to DO about it that they didn't do? they protested loudly and clearly and publicly. they tried talking to their republican counterparts. it is not TRUE that they are only now aware of what was done; they were saying it all along. why are you blaming the democrats for what the republicans have done? that makes NO sense.

@genessa I guess I missed their objections to the limitations of the FBI investigations. If they raised sufficient objections I will stand corrected. Just pissed how this went down. Be well.
@rogueflyer they did! they were, and still are, outraged. they've appeared on tv saying so, they've said so on the floor of the senate, they've been interviewed saying so -- none of which changes anything because until we vote them into majority in november, they don't even have the powers they would have if the republicans were actually a political party instead of a criminal organization. my guy and i sent in our absentee ballots yesterday (i'd voted last week but we got someone to witness them yesterday; he could have witnessed for me if his hands didn't shake so much).
