Who gives a sh!t what you doubt? It is a FACT that he "really said that." The fact that you are ignorant of that FACT has no bearing on anything.
Everything depended on Collins. If Collins was a no then Manchin was also going to be a no. Flagpole put too much faith in Collins. The FBI “investigation” was just for political cover. She probably doesn’t care what he did as a teenager. Everyone will cry “well there wasn’t any evidence!!”, “innocent until proven guilty!!”. Well in many cases there is no evidence when it comes to sexual assault or misconduct, it’s just one person’s word vs another. Especially when DECADES have passed since the incident.
As far as SCOTUS goes? Meh. It’s not like his confirmation represented some major shift in the court’s ideology. Of course the media likes to play up this point. He took over for a conservative judge. Roe v Wade isn’t going anywhere. Same-Sex marriage isn’t going anywhere.
