Kavanaugh Accuser reveals her Identity

[Anonymous]

Kavanaugh was part of Ken Starr's team investigating Clinton's perjury. Although he now says a sitting President shouldn't be subjected to such an investigation, at the time he said, “It is our job,” he wrote colleagues in Starr’s office in an email, “to make his pattern of revolting behavior clear—piece by painful piece.”

That is incredibly unlikely.

As has been stated, please read through the very real experiences of people on this thread alone to see that her inability to recall specific dates doesn't mean much. She recalled the general time of life, when she was around 15 years old.

He also wanted to be able to ask very explicit questions about Clinton's behaviors. How the tables turn.

When President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, I was thrilled. The judge has a resume that makes him unquestionably qualified to sit on the highest court in the land.

Further, I have found the attacks on him made by Democrats until now to be unfounded or pure spectacle made by politicians engaging in theatrics simply because they knew there were cameras on.

The sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford are different: After reading them, I can no longer support Kavanaugh’s nomination and have concluded that for the good of the country, he must withdraw.

But the political shenanigans around Kavanaugh's nomination do not give us a pass to take Ford’s allegation of attempted sexual assault lightly.

This entire sad ordeal is reminiscent of a scene 27 years ago when Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill. While Americans were split on whether or not to believe Hill that Thomas sexually harassed her and he was ultimately confirmed, the accusations follow Thomas to this day — and Ford’s allegations will follow Kavanaugh, too.

Were the Senate to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, a large portion of the American people would likely view him as illegitimate and challenge the validity of his appointment because of Ford’s accusations. Others, like me, would feel uncertain that his was a worthwhile appointment.

Such a situation is not healthy for our republic.

This guy is not a never-trumper. I am glad to see someone in GOP is putting country over party for at least one time!

Hmm, this plus Kelly Anne Conway saying the accuser "should be heard" strikes me as odd. Why would the Rs cave so easily on this? KellyAnne has always dismissed Trump's accusers. And even I as a very liberal woman don't think Kavanaugh should be withdrawn solely based on this woman's unsubstantiated claim. There's a lot I don't like about him but we can't have mere allegations precluding people from jobs or appointments.

Now if a number of women come out with similar ta;es, suggesting a pattern of behavior, that's another story....

How many credible accounts of attempted rape are sufficient before you think the accuser should be heard before a man is appointed to the Sup Ct for the rest of his life?

+1, I understand how multiple independent accusations can lend credibility to one another, but if there's a chance he did this (and her account seems credible), why should he even get the chance to be a SCOTUS justice?

Bwahahahahahah. This is the funniest thing I read all day. Gorsuch got confirmed with no problem. Same President, same Congress. The GOP just needs better people as justices.

Not sure why that's hilarious (maybe you are referring to PP's original post), but to be clear, I meant it's incredibly unlikely that only women will get appointed to SCOTUS as PP suggested, even if Kavanaugh does not get confirmed.

The year and possibly the season of the year--not the date--should not be elusive.

PP is likely assuming that no man has a past clear of sexual assault. If that's what s/he thinks, I am saddened. I have never heard of any assaulting behavior on Mcain, Obama, Bush, or Flake. Surely, there are qualified judges out there that has never assaulted a woman.

I’m with you PP, but I think there are a lot of people who will refuse to fully believe one accuser until several more come forward. I am hoping that if there are other women out there, that they will bravely and quickly come forward.
