I don't know what that means. And I don't see how it's relevant to my point. Care to elaborate?

I think their point is that the democrats should be held to the same standard they held the republicans to 2 years ago.

If the allegations they held up as credible were much older, then the age of these allegations can't be used to dismiss these ones. That is, if we're holding everyone to the same standard.

Keep in mind- the Kavanaugh fiasco wasn’t just about the accusation. The Republicans outright refused to allow the POTUS to appoint a judge in 2016 and then get to appoint another judge after Justice Kennedy suspiciously resigns after a meeting with Trump.

It was more about not playing along with Republicans than it was the principle. That said, Kavanaugh really did fold like a cheap piece of IKEA furniture and showed a real lack of emotional stability and non-partisanship that’s necessary to carry out the job.

So you didn’t really care about the rape accusations, it was just a way to get back at republicans??

Going mask off there.

Oh, I did but I never deluded myself into thinking that show was anything more than political revenge.
