Fox News analyst Alan Dershowitz is calling for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process to be postponed until an FBI investigation can be conducted.
“Maybe we can get closer to the truth, although that is not certain,” he wrote in an article on Fox News’ website. “But right now there are too many unanswered question to bring the confirmation of Kavanaugh – currently a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia – to a vote of the Judiciary Committee as scheduled on Friday, much less to a vote of the full Senate.”
He claims that the two witnesses are currently at a “credibility tie” based on their accounts, assigning Kavanaugh the obvious motive to lie of getting a Supreme Court seat and Blasey Ford the less obvious motive of possibly having political reasons to want Kavanaugh off the court.
“Realistically, it is unlikely that the Senate will proceed in the manner of a court of law, because political truth has replaced scientific truth in our highly partisan age,” he added.
After the hearings, some organizations have also sounded the call to postpone the votes for an FBI investigation, including the American Bar Association.
Oh, shut up, tool.
He’s a WH proxy. In other words, the GOP doesn’t have the votes. They’re looking for an out. Fat Nixon’s walk-back tweets this morning tipped it off.
I do love that he’s now called ‘Fox Analyst’. About time
Well the reasons he offers sure as shit aren’t what’s motivating him. To suggest that Ford went through all that crap just because she has political reasons for wanting Kav off the court is ridiculous. If Kav is dumped Trump’s going to appoint another wingnut like him. Ford knows that. Only a clueless man could make such a disconnected statement.
Kav did everything Ford alleges and that’s why she was there.
But did people take a close look at Kav. He acted like an angry, impudent spoiled brat. He couldn’t keep his temper in check and was disrespectful to the Democratic women that questioned him. There’s some articles out there on bad SCOTUS picks and how much damage they’ve done to America particularly in the area of Civil Rights. As an example, Thomas voted to gut the Voting Rights Act. I’ll bet Kav still makes it. 50 / 50 with the Holier Than Thou Pence handing the sex offender his seat. Kav will quickly start hurting people. Why not. He’s never felt pain in his life.
Does Donald watch Dersh. these days ?
