The point is, she may or may not be telling the truth. We don’t have time to figure it out. Kavanaugh is expendable and if there are other reliable conservatives who we can confirm more easily, then we absolutely need to do so. This is not the time for President Trump or Orrin Hatch to stick it to the MeToo movement. Who cares. Just move on. Even if there is a 90% chance that they will confirm Kavanaugh versus a 100% chance for the female judge from Indiana or another reliable conservative, we cannot take the risk. We are talking about the next 40 years of Supreme Court precedent. This is not the time for stubbornness!

You're forgetting Kavanaugh is there to prevent Trump from getting impeached. You think Trump gives a hoot about the next 40 years of anything (except himself)?

No, the US Senate is there to prevent the Dems from abusing any gains they may realize in the House to impeach the President. That is not a concern.

It’s just not worth the risk given the number of alternates that are available. Time to move on in my opinion. The focus needs to be on confirming an air tight nominee and winning in November, not on this sideshow. Sorry Brett.

That is the strategic play, though I wouldn't be surprised if Trump and/or the Senate GOP dug in their heels. If they were smart, they'd withdraw Kavanaugh, and nominate someone much more confirmable, if conservative. Then if Democrats fought it they could suggest they were being real obstructionists.

He could nominate Merrick Garland.

No, I said reliable conservative. Just dust off the short list. As I recall, there was an excellent female judge from Indiana who we could confirm in no time. Probably the best choice at this point. Every nomination is highly dependent on timing, and we are at a critical juncture this late in the year. Garland was the last President’s choice, and he got nowhere because of timing and the political climate at that time. It was a real strategic win for Republicans, and they need to be smart and strategic again to assure another win this time around.

No, Obama’s seat was stolen by the Republicans. Not “timing.” Not “the political climate at that time.” The Republicans. If they’d like to start making that up to the country, nominating Merrick Garland would be a start, because knowing Trump’s choices, we’d get someone worse.

Sorry honey, we don’t care about making it up to you. You lost that one, and you lost the last election. You need to move on. This is our time.

well you're really making the most of it and doing a great job. no doubt voters, especially women voters, agree and will hand you more decisive victories in november. keep it up - good work.

Thank you, that is what I was looking for to post from 20+ pages back. Can you post the tweet link? Did the tweeter post an original link?

No, I did not see it either...but there is a chatter on twitter today that there is another victim.

We need more than one credible accuser, because sadly one powerful man does not equal one alleged victim.

Withdrawing Kavanaugh’s nomination and replacing him with a strong (and even more reliably conservative) female nominee will go a long way to cementing our majority on the Supreme Court and helping us win in November. Just wait, it will happen very soon. The conversations are already being had between the White House and Mitch McConnell’s office.

Of course it's a concern. Matters of law will be appealed up to the Supreme Court. That's the only reason Kavanaugh has been nominated. He's tainted fruit from a tainted Trump presidency.

Have you ever known or been a high school girl? Here's a little secret: a story like this would have been shared contemporaneously. NOT saved for years. Had she been raped, she might not have shared, but this is the kind of story a girl would share. Hiding in the bathroom, etc.

She doesn't remember what year it was?
She doesn't remember how she left the house?

If it had happened and was that traumatic, she would have remembered.

Have you ever been sexually assaulted? How do you know how a person does or does not behave, or what they would or would not remember?

NP. Yes. And I remember every detail +40 years later.

So you do remember the year, etc?

Of course!

That's good, doesn't discount the experiences of those who don't remember with such specificity.

It actually does. I can remember minor things in college where a guy was grabby and drunk - who cares? But that incident I remember, along with the one my freshman year in college where two townies tried to lock me in my dorm room. My friend Rusty heard through the walls and stopped it cold. When you are in danger, you remember. But then I wasn’t drunk both times, etc.

I'm glad your friend was able to stop it. Ford remembers the details of the alleged event, just not the precise time. She recalls it being when she was 15.

Again, there are multiple posters in this thread alone (and hundreds more posting their stories on social media anonymously and named) who had similar incidents happen and don't recall the precise timing. Just because you might remember those details, doesn't mean THEIR experiences didn't happen. Period.

Not sure why that is so difficult for people to understand.

+100. Thank you. NP. My assault certainly happened (the man is still in prison 12 years later). I do not know the time of year it happened, the time of day it happened, or the exact year it happened. I know the approximate age I was and can do math and I can certainly look up the court records to validate the dates of when he was arrested and then do math to figure out the specifics. I'd rather not. I am "fortunate" enough to have court records to document this. Idk what I'd do if I were forced to remember a date without them. Shame on all of you. I pray something like this never happens to your daughter and she is ridiculed for not remembering the dates. I can sure as hell walk you through the exact events that took place down to what I was wearing. I can't remember the month or year. Sorry, not sorry.

FWIW, a DC lawyer told me this morning he'd been waiting for Kavanaugh's #MeToo moment ... but the story he knew wasn't from high school but a summer clerkship.

Her attorney already said she would testify. Stop making things up.

+1. It’s Grassley and other Rs who want this taken care of with phone calls instead of public hearings.

Of course. Republicans don't want a credible woman talking about sexual assault right before midterms. Just draws further attention to how they've done nothing to reign in their groper-in-chief.

I was assaulted as a young teen - I was 13. I can, 30 years later, remember aspects of the event in minute, horrifying detail. There are other things, though, like my attacker's face and the day of the week and what happened following that are not as clear now and were not clear in the days, weeks, months, and years that followed. Other people had to piece them together for me.

To discount this woman's account purely on the basis of one or two details that can easily get clouded out in the aftermath of recovering from this kind of attack is pedantic and petty. I believe this woman and I believe the accounts of others who have shared their experience with the social circles BK was in.

It's telling and simultaneously shocking that this woman is being torn to shreds by the GOP and their supporters after all the supposed concern they've had about, for example, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky.

All the more reason to ditch Kavanaugh now. We don’t need this sideshow.

There is rarely just one "metoo" story, there are usually others because on e they get away with it once, they keep on going. And it takes a strong person who can't be easily hurt professionally and personally to bring these issues up.

This is common, I forget what it is called but they talked about this when Elizabeth Smarts sister took months to remember who took her.
