The Republican party can't push this through quick enough. We should be having an investigation, but instead the Republican party is saying "We can't have an investigation" and "The FBI doesn't look into local crimes". Bullshit. Bull fucking shit. The FBI can open up the background investigation easily and quickly, in fact, it's routine to re-open up a background investigation when new information comes up.

And it's not just the Republicans in Congress either. It's Republicans. There is an interview on TV where they talked to four Republican women and it's disgusting. One woman said "They didn't even take off her clothes so it's not a crime". Really? So now it's perfectly legal to walk around, pin women to walls, and fondle them? Another women in that interview said "What seventeen year hasn't pinned a woman to a couch against her will and fondled them" making it out so that all teenage boys are rapists and it's perfectly acceptable.

The charges surely don't matter to the Republican party or the Republicans in Congress. They don't want to talk to this woman, and if they are do, they are putting a lot of conditions on her interview or testimony.

Why isn't Congress stopping everything and putting all of this on hold until we are sure a rapist isn't getting a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land? Is that too much to ask for?

But wait, it gets better. This weekend another woman came forward with accusations. It seems now there are also two other women making similar accusations. We are now up to four women making accusations of sexual assault.

Of course I care about the charges. But more importantly to me is how this being handled - The Republican party is trying to push through someone who might be a rapist and they just don't care. What happened to morals and values in the Republican party? What happened to holding people to a higher standard?

This is a lifetime nomination to the highest court in the country. If there so much as a single hair out of place on his head, we need to stop everything immediately and investigate until we are 200% positive this man is the right man for a lifetime appointment.
