McCaskill Wants Kavanaugh Allegation Investigated Without ‘Artificial Timeline’

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) weighed in on the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh currently roiling the confirmation process, saying that she is “deeply troubled” and wants the matter thoroughly investigated.

McCaskill does not sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee, but as a red-state Democrat in an extremely close reelection fight, her vote is still closely watched. She stayed with the Democrats to vote against Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation in 2017.

  1. Ms. McCaskill throwing a well-placed brushback pitch at her ‘colleague and friend’ Cornyn, and by association, at Bitch McConnell and Charlie Asshat as well.

  2. Holy shit. Is this an example of “amoral theology”?

  3. So Kavanaugh gets booted. Knowing Trump, doesn’t that mean he seeks out the biggest flaming asshole he can find as a replacement nom? Someone better vetted, no issues that would scuttle the assured number of GOPer Senators needed to confirm. Yet Kavanaugh on steroids as far as future damage to civil rights, voting, reproductive rights, money in politics, etc?

  4. IOKIYAR

    See how that works?
