Sen. Sanders Demands FBI Investigate Whether Kavanaugh Lied to Congress

[MineralMan]

24. Well, his statement have not appeared here prominently.

He has been overshadowed by Democrats who sit on the Judiciary Committee. Democrats who have the seniority as Democrats to attain seats on that pivotal committee.

So, his statements have not been noticed by me. I did a search, though, and found a couple of posts in the Bernie Sanders Group, from which I was blocked for a very long time and do not visit, and the Video and Multimedia Forum, which I also do not visit.

Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat, so he doesn't have senior positions in many committees. He has steadfastly refused to identify himself with the Democratic Party, so his voice is muted in situations like this, where party membership plays a large role. That is his choice.

For that reason, I did not see his commentary on this issue. I don't go looking for statements from Bernie Sanders. I consider him to be a third party sort of guy with only minor influence on the business of the Senate. I did not see any posts about his comments in the General Discussion Forum. While there may have been such posts, I did not see them.

Good for him for supporting Dr. Ford and for commenting today on the FBI investigation of Kavanaugh. I did notice that, because someone posted it in GD. What impact it will have, I cannot say. He is not in a position to participate in the Committee hearings or decisions. So, I'll make note of it and return to my perusal of posts about people who are in such a position. Democrats. I don't follow Bernie Sanders much, although I'm grateful that he normally votes with the Democratic Caucus in the Senate. I wish he were a Democrat, though. Then, he might have a seat on the Judiciary Committee. Meanwhile, my own Senator, Amy Klobuchar, has such a seat and was influential in the hearing, making pointed comments and eliciting an insult from Kavanaugh. I'm proud of her for that.

I'll watch for Bernie's future comments that people post in GD, though.
