They should create the prerequisites they are expecting in a Supreme Court Justice, and they should identify Felonies and maybe even misdemeanors as being cause for rejection.

IMO one week from now nothing will have changed. The FBI will not present a report that makes their previous background checks look like keystone cops, so no allegation will be substantiated. He will not be accused or tried for any crime. Yet his name and reputation will be forever damaged, as will Dr. Ford's. No Democrat is going to change their position because all the allegations will still be out there and the cry will be that one week is not enough time. All but 2 Republicans will not change their opinion. So then if he is approved all the Pro choicers will be screaming in outrage when in reality this should never have been done in public. If he is denied confirmation the Pro Life, Pro Trump portion of the US will be screaming in outrage and there is nothing that could have motivated them to come out and vote and ignore all the convictions of Cohen, etc. like this.

All but 2 Republicans will not change their opinion?

Ignore all the convictions of Cohen, etc.

Explain.
