You've never been in court before, I'm guessing.

Rarely is there direct evidence. Cases are almost always decided on circumstantial evidence. In this instance, the general consensus is that Prof. Ford did not have a motivation to lie, there was some evidence that she mentioned the event well before his nomination, and you got to see her demeanor while testifying. Judge Kavanaugh has a motive to lie, you saw his demeanor at the hearing and on Fox News, and how he answered questions about what he was like in prep. School vs. the picture depicted in his yearbook.

No motive to lie except that LYING WILL DETERMIE THE BALANCE OF THE SCOTUS FOR DECADES. Other than that, no motive.

Then why did she bring it up first BEFORE he was nominated? Which would have enabled the WH to nominate someone else?

There is additional evidence not listed above. There are the 4 statements of people who allegedly were there - all denying knowledge of the gathering; 1 stating she did not know Kavanaugh. We also have the calendar entries from Kavanaugh.
And, I might add, the first time Ford mentioned the name Kavanaugh to anyone was in 2012 - the same year Kavanaugh’s name was on a short list in the event Romney won the presidency. I am disappointed this was not brought up in questioning yesterday.

As a woman, I'm sitting here watching all of this unfold, and I realize that it's pointless to vote. Nothing is going to change. This guy is 5 times worse than Clarence Thomas, and the Republicans wouldn't even interview people who could have provided background. This decades after Anita Hill. The only thing that matters in this country is rich white men.

You should be realizing the mother fu#@$ing opposite. People didn't show up, didn't think it was important, thought choices were equally bad in 2016. Well we learned our f*&ing lesson didn't we.

Vote. Speak. Until they cannot ignore us any longer. We cannot abide people who give up anymore, I'll grab people by the hair and drag them into the polls with me in November.

VOTING MATTERS PEOPLE DO IT

People must run from you. I know I would. Though I certainly do vote. I just don't vote the way you demand.

I’m with you on that. I can’t imagine pp doing any canvassing. Scary! And, I also vote differently than pp would prefer, I am sure.

They didn’t harass him!!! We still live in a world where we can speak to our elected officials!! Giving your opinion to an elected official is actually a part of the franchise of democracy!

You must be joking. This woman and her minions got up in Flake's face, *screaming* at him. They absolutely harassed him and I can't believe people like that are allowed in the building, much less allowed to approach lawmakers in that way. Plenty of guards were just standing around and no one pulled her away from Flake. What a lunatic. If she wanted to "speak" to her elected officials, she should have done so respectfully. But she didn't even come close.

Please kavanaugh's alternative reality of those statements is not the facts. The statements said they didn't remember the gathering. No statement said she did not know kavanaugh and those statements were not any kind of evidence since they weren't sworn statements by the people themselves. Kavanaugh knew but pressed forward with talking points over and over because he was spinning an alternate version of the facts.

Sure he is. Judge just submitted a letter regarding the allegations from Swetnik. He calls them bizarre and categorically denies them.

Kavanaugh will be confirmed. But, you will continue to call him a rapist. Even though there is not one iota of truth to that.

You must be joking. This is Flake's job, to hear from people. This is what we as Americans do. We speak to our elected officials, sometimes calmly and sometimes yelling.

All Mark Judge has to do is deny, deny, deny. And gnash his teeth and sob while doing it, preferably.

Of course you would believe K over a woman. Even when your guy is recorded saying sh1t like this you still believe his lies. If Kavanaugh said, yes, we had sex but it was consensual you would believe that over the rape allegation. Clearly, it doesn't matter what a woman says. Your partisan politics has affected your lenses.

That is why women are pi$$ed. Get it?

You don’t speak for all women. Not all women base their judgements on emotion and histrionics. Get it?

At a minimum I think we can assume that he will refute BK's claim of never drinking too much.

This is a fascinating way to cooperate confidentially.

Republicans are such snowflakes. They didn't get in Flake's face anymore than Joe the Plumber did in Obama's.
