After Kavanaugh’s Senate hearing a former Yale classmate Charles Ludington
claimed that Kavanaugh repeatedly practiced heavy drinking, which made him
act both aggressive and belligerent. This would contrast the image that
Kavanaugh himself made clear during the hearing last Friday, denying he acted
inappropriately or has ever blacked out under the influence of alcohol. It gets worst
for Kavanaugh, as another woman, Deborah Ramirez, has claimed he sexually
harassed her when she was also at Yale, claiming that he “exposed himself”
during a party. She has various accounts that support her claims, and has
reported this to the FBI’s ongoing investigation ordered by President Trump.
The investigation is yet another background check on Kavanaugh, that some
Republicans believe should not last more than a week, as many believe the Senate
has dictated the investigation rather than the FBI. As this process is delaying the
nomination of Kavanaugh, many are relating it to when President Obama
nominated Merrick Garland as a Supreme Court Justice, only to be met by 10
months of delays from Republicans.
- hould there be a cutoff to how long the Kavanaugh investigation can occur?
Great post Jordi! Succinct!
ReplyDelete1. If there is no conclusive evidence in either direction or general conclusion by the FBI within 2 months, there should be discussion of a cutoff soon and any other further action that should be taken.
1. Yes there should be a limit to the duration of his investigation so that the FBI is not predestinating and is being concise yet the time limit should be long enough so that their investigation is thorough.

ReplyDelete1. There definitely should be a cut off to the investigation of Kavanaugh's background. Once evidence has been found or there is a clear answer to him being proven guilty or not, the investigation should stop.
There should most definitely a cutoff to the investigation. By making the investigation as long as the FBI wants, it would just cause unneeded delays and resources that will go to waste if nothing is found.
ReplyDelete1. Yes, there should be a cutoff to the investigation because it may last longer than it's intended for and at a certain point, you're wasting money on this case.
