Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 4

[Anonymous]

Brett lies again:

When asked, Kavanaugh told committee staff Sept. 25th he was “probably” at a wedding with Ramirez. “I am sure I saw her because it wasn’t a huge wedding,” but “doesn’t have a specific recollection.” Texts show his team had the photo, from a friend, at least since Sept. 22

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.

God advice, which I'm sure will "empower" more women, thanks to women like Ford blazing the trail for them.

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

Yup. And truth, kindness, and the law are for losers.

I don't think Jeff Flake is even considering voting against Judge Kavanaugh. He needs to get a job with a Republican think tank or political group after he leaves the Senate.

The last polling I saw from Maine (at the end of August) showed that Sen. Collins had a favorable rating of 35%, 48& disapproval rating and that 47% thought she should not vote to confirm, so I think she must be worried about this vote.

I could not find any decent polling for Sen. Murkowski - what I did find indicated that there was not a significant support for Judge Kavanaugh.

The law I'm teaching my kids is that we are all innocent until proven guilty. It's such a shame your kids won't be taught that concept.

The native alaskans are very against him, and very vocal, and she needs their votes. I dont' know what she will do.

Well that is stupid. You should teach them not to act like idiots and if they do screw up, to be apologetic.

You should probably just stick with "keep your hands to yourself" - if his mom had taught him that, he wouldn't be in this mess.

Adios to Kavanaugh's Harvard teaching gig...

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will not return to Harvard Law School to teach a course that he was previously scheduled to teach in the winter 2019 term.

Harvard Associate Dean Catherine Claypoole wrote in an email to Harvard Law students on Monday evening that the school will not offer the course because Kavanaugh can "no longer commit" to teaching it.


"Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated that he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered," Claypoole wrote, according to the Harvard Crimson.

Kavanaugh was slated to teach a course called "The Supreme Court since 2005."

A group of Harvard Law School students had previously urged the school to stop allowing Kavanaugh to teach there until there was an investigation into accusations of sexual assault made against him.

"Will Harvard Law School take seriously the credible allegation of Kavanaugh’s sexual assault against a young woman before he is allowed to continue teaching young women?" Molly Coleman, Vail Kohnert-Yount, Jake Meiseles and Sejal Singh wrote in The Harvard Law Record. "Or will Harvard allow him to teach students without further inquiry?"

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.

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.
- a woman

EXACTLY.

Victim #3 reported it right away and nothing happened, so....

Who on earth is "victim #3"?
