How hard would it have been to say “I was a dumb, mean, vulgar, insensitive teenage boy, but that does not mean that I was an attempted rapist.” Is that too nuanced of an argument to make to a room full of senators? His enraged choirboy routine was so brazenly dishonest, if I hadn’t been concerned about Kavanaugh before, I am now.

Maybe, but why do you not think she was equally disingenuous with her attire and her voice?

DP but ok fine, so let’s not make her a SC Justice either. I’m good with that. (Whether I agree
Or disgaree regarding her attire, voice, yearbook statements, home renovations, etc)

So you're ok with her losing her job as well?

He isn't losing his job. He just hopefully won't get a new one, either.

So, you think he is not qualified for SCOTUS, but he’s just fine for an appellate judge?
That really makes no sense.

Are you trying to say everyone qualified to be an appellate judge is qualified to be a SCJ? Are you trying to say he should lose his job and so should he? I think you aren’t making sense, honestly.

No. I think he is absolutely qualified for SCOTUS. I think these charges and all the ancillary things people throwing at him are crap.
What I am saying is if you really believe he did this, and you really believe he lied, and you really believe he is an alcoholic, - all of the arguments people are using for disqualifying him from SCOTUS - then how can you justify him remaining as an appellate judge?

No responses to this question....
Curious how he is not eligible for SCOTUS based on the assumptions people have about his alleged crimes, but perfectly fine for an appellate judge.

Here's the answer (although it's obvious): They don't believe that his high school yearbook slang and whatnot is important and know that all this talk about farts and devil's triangles is ridiculous. They just don't want him on the SCOTUS. As an appellate judge, he doesn't have much impact, so they're fine with it.

Nailed it. Very succinct!

No one wants him. The Jesuit magazine dropped him, Yale doesnt want him, the ABA doesn't want to endorse him.

Harvard fired him. His YLS classmates all seem not to be fans either.

I still have a CD of theirs! Somewhere...

Wasn’t their biggest hit, “Brett, Brett whine?” Or do I have that confused?

Lol, I was a kid in the 80s, but I think I remember that one too.

It does women no favors when other women wait so long to report that they aren’t taken seriously.

Have you read any of the thousands of women who have said that Dr. Ford coming forward has reminded them of their long ago rapes and near rapes?

Use your own common sense, which has been badly missing among conservatives. Start taking women seriously when they come forward to encourage them to come forward sooner. Your ridiculous, unfounded doubt is just embarrassing.

Well, that's a chicken-and-egg argument, if ever their was one. I would argue that women will be taken seriously WHEN they start coming forward within a reasonable amount of time after an assault. Sorry, but 35+ years is not a "reasonable" amount of time and it's not surprising they aren't taken seriously when they wait until there's no way to corroborate their allegations.

If you want to be taken seriously, start reporting while there's still a chance to seek justice. And stop playing the victim card.

First of all, not a conservative. Secondly, the point is that if women would come forward sooner (immediately would be best),they are far more likely to not only be able to substantiate their assault (witnesses, accurate date/time/place), but they are FAR MORE LIKELY to be taken seriously. Waiting for 30+ years and THEN deciding to accuse someone just makes you look idiotic - even if the assault really happened.

Your ridiculous, blind, coddling of victims ensures that women will continue taking years to report and then being incredulous that no one believes them. Get a grip. Start empowering women to report immediately and not ensuring that they always think of themselves as victims.

The report just makes me more sympathetic to Ford. She is being criticized and torn apart and now a prosecutor has torn through and prepared a report for nothing. And there is no report on Kavanaugh. And we all saw his performance and know where the inconsistencies are. Not to mention his conduct.

How bizarre.

I think the point is that these allegations simply cannot be proven. While this isn’t a court of law, there has to be *something* to pin on Kavanaugh, and there just isn’t. And Ford hasn’t been “criticized and torn apart.” Please. Quite the opposite. She’s being hailed as some kind of “folk hero” for bringing forward decades old allegations that could have been resolved - you guessed it - decades ago. Without ruining someone else’s life and family in the process.

His life is not ruined.
His family is not ruined.
Not getting the SCOTUS does not ruin someone's life.
Living with the aftermath of sexual assault and then contending with the backlash for coming forward can.

Get.Some.Perspective.

My God, you’re dense. Of course his life is ruined. He is “guilty” in the court of public opinion and will never be able to get beyond that in many people’s eyes. His family will always be whispered about and probably excluded from events by people like you. Not becoming a SCJ has nothing to do with that. It is clearly YOU who should get some perspective.

+ 1 Liberals are trying to convince themselves that his life isn't ruined because on some level they know that this is an unfounded accusation that more than likely is not true, given the inconsistencies and holes in her story. It makes it easier for them to face what the Democrats have done.

They already taught their kids that if you grab 'em by the p*ssy you could become POTUS some day.

Would you guys say the same thing to young or teenaged boys who've been abused by Catholic priests for not coming forward sooner? Or is it just teen girls/women that you're willing to cluck at?
