But I'm all for a thorough investigation of the smoke that appears to hold fire. This privileged Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde appears too dangerous to sit on any court.

Hearings can be for all sorts of issues. And there's certainly a lot of smoke around Kavanaugh's activities.

I only replied to the person who asked about it.

You might try asking what I think about impeachment instead of presuming. I don't care about impeachment since we probably won't have enough Dem Senators to make that happen. What I want after January is we take the House is hearings on Kavanaugh. I believe there's much more to learn about his activities.

...and, if we can’t get two Republican senators to vote against him now, we sure as hell aren’t going to be getting the ten to fifteen ones we’ll need then.

Also, investigations of Dr. Ford's allegations. Possible crimes he committed when he was involved in the Starr investigation if there's no statute of limitations in that area.

I believe that Dems will request FBI investigations on him. They're warranted. Believe what you want.

our politicians will move on and the drunken, rapist will remain on the supreme court for life. Just like Thomas will be on there for life.

Good luck with getting them to do something with Kavanaugh.

He knows full well that once he's on, there's no way to get rid of him for the rest of his life.

Rs still want to open Clinton hearings.

They can have hearings about other issues looking into anything they think went wrong. Things like how did FEMA act on hurricane relief and such. The scope of hearings is quite wide.
