    That poor woman who testified and then had to go into hiding from death threats probably woukd have preferred an actual investigation before he was confirmed

    Only thing surprising me is that there was ANY kind of investigation. I thought they just sat on the entire thing.

      The last I recall, the FBI took like one business week and did not bother to interview any witnesses.

      Rapists remain connected to other rapists so they can protect each other. Simple and to the point.

    Seems like a lot of conservative “justices” need to be investigated and impeached.
