Politics Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearing, now with New allegations!

It actually pains me to read things like this. This is why women don't come forward. Nearly all of the women in my life have at some point been assaulted and revealed it years and years after the fact. It is almost incomprehensible but it is true. And not one of them was drunk and pushing herself or whatever the fuck. I don't like that language. And I'm sure that form of forward drunkenness happen; hell, I've seen people act that way, but never have they come forward and pretended that it was something that it wasn't.

And also, and very importantly, having sex with or trying to have sex with or whatever with an intoxicated woman is also not okay, regardless of what she is saying; and this is not just me saying this but the authorities. The flipside would be excusing drunk men for their drunken behavior (ahem). It's bullshit.

 

CC, I don't know what the truth is at his point and neither does anyone else. And to be honest I don't have a thing for Kav at all, if he guilty he should be gone.
How much evidence is needed to go after someone with serious accusations? If its just one person's word over another's thats crazy.
Should there need to be some evidence/witness before someone is deemed guilty?

 

How's the weather on your planet?

 

I personally have no problem with an investigation, I'm actually for it. Let the chips fall where they do.
On the other hand I think its really slippery for Finstein to not bring it up after having the report for two months. Seems if she was so interested and in an investigation for the accuser she would have brought it up then, rather than wait for the hearings to be over? That does appears to be a stall tactic to me.

 

They already have testimony from all parties except the accuser, who has repeatedly backed out of agreements to testify.

All 4 people she claims were there have provided statements under oath that they have no idea what she's talking about.

Only the accuser has refused to do anything.

Like make an accusation of a crime to the FBI or any other law enforcement agency anywhere at any time.

Like testify under oath what she claims and provide something/anything to support her claim.

 

The 100-keg quest: Kavanaugh classmate Mark Judge details senior year

So, judge Kavanaugh ain't quite so lilly white.

actually they have NO testimony under oath. What one might say in an interview can be completely different than what someone says under oath. The first has no repercussions but if you lie under oath it's called perjury. Do some homework.

 

Earth has a variety of weather going on but it's very nice in Portland. What's the weather like on Pluto?

 

Actually......it sounds just like pretty much any senior year in high school in the 60’s and ‘70’s.........or at least it does if you went to a private school........

 

The Republicans had planned to have Kavanaugh confirmed in time for the start of the new Supreme Court term on October 1st. Feinstein and Company could have brought the allegations forward for investigation at the end of July when she was first informed of Ford’s claims. Instead, she sat on it until the point it would do the maximum to disrupt that schedule and make it so that, if Kavanaugh has to be replaced with a new nominee, it will drag out past the midterm elections. So, you know, it’s just swamp rats of both political persuasions doing their thing and putting party over any real interests in truth.

 

well said!

 

But republicans said a Supreme Court Justice can't be confirmed within 8 months of an election. Those were their rules. Just ask McConnell as he established the rule. Why do they want to change that now? A little taste of their own medicine.

 

Did I say that Republican rats were any more honorable than Democrat rats?
