Probably or was put under some type of pressure to accept. |
I'm a republican leaning independent. I believe he lied under oath and am outraged. I believe that this precludes him from consideration for the supreme court. I do not think he assaulted Christine Ford and believe she is probably lying. |
Whether or not you believe Ford or Kavanaugh (and this isn't a criminal investigation - despite the memo from the Republicans hired prosecutor), his performance last week clearly shows he's of an unfit temperament to be a SC justice. He lied about numerous things under oath - grandpa went to Yale so yes, he did have legacy status, Devil's Triangle and boofing, drinking in college and so on.
Furthermore, those of us that grew up with alcoholic parents see right through his boastful claims, lies, deep anger and rage and his narcissism stemming from both his personality and his UMC entitlement. |
You DO NOT KNOW that she is a rape victim. |
Re: your #1, this is not a detail that a therapist would necessarily included in session notes. When I write a session note, it's a concise summary of what was done during the session. It might include something like "Pt disclosed traumatic event as a teenager; recalled being sexually assaulted at a party. Discussed in terms of how she feels this has affected her thoughts and behavior." etc. but not necessarily direct quotes. There are many session notes to write in a given day and they're not intended to be a verbatim account of what was said during the session. |
Then you should contain Flake, MUrkowski, Collins, Sasse, etc. I am with you. He lied to the Senate and he didn't need to but Sessions lied and others have lied and I think we are at a point in this country where the party in power does not care. They need to know that Americans care. To me it is not a partisan issue--liars do not belong on the court. |
Have to believe that even DT could find a better choice for scotus. |
+1. |
It stretches plausibility that she ran out of the house, somehow got home seven miles away, but conveniently doesn't remember how she got home. It stretches plausibility that she didn't have a conversation with her lifelong best friend who was supposedly at the party with her as to why she suddenly left early and how she managed to get home. |
Exactly. I was just thinking, is this the best they've got? Why not just pick another stellar nominee that doesn't have this cloud of suspicion re: past behavior unbecoming a SC judge, and lying under oath? |
I highly doubt the FBI is cross examining Ford. This is the re-opening of a background check. They are not interviewing either Ford or Kavanaugh. |
Apparently he needs Kavanaugh specifically - something to do with executive power. |
When something similar happened to me, I don't remember how I got home. I remember the boys kicking me out of the car, and then I remember walking into the kitchen at home and trying to act natural in front of my mom. |
Her job is to determine if she has enough evidence to prosecute. She did not and she explained why. Why do you call Blasey ford a crime victim. How do you know that she was. Just because she said she was? How do you know she was not lying? If you were actually assaulted in Maricopa County next week, that prosecutor would do her job and prosecute if you had a consistent story and evidence. Blasey Ford did not. |
This is why the process is a National Disgrace filled with political hacks. Kavanaugh is the most experienced justice that has ever been nominated with over 300 opinions. After conducting coordinated character assassination with the liberal media and watching it boomerang, resisters are now trying to go to the "temperment" argument, or "outrage" claiming that he "lied under oath" about his high school yearbook. Get out of the gutter people! The Dems were opposed minutes after the nomination was announced - this is a total SCAM. |
