Kavanaugh Accuser reveals her Identity

No one has answered this question:
Why didn't Feinstein raise this with Kavanaugh when she met with him?

This was written by a playwright. Just like the opening session. Totally choreographed.

How in the world can Kavanaugh defend himself? No time. No place. No date--not even a year?

He knows he never did this. That is what he has said. What do you expect from him?

For those of you who say she should be believed........how would you feel if this were you, your husband, your son, your father?

Dems have set up a "no defense possible" situation.

McConnell is complaining that this was not brought up in a regular manner.

STFU McConnell, you didn't bring Garland up in a regular manner either.

Because the victim asked to remain anonymous. This has been explained a hundred times in this thread.

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!

Why not? The Thursday deadline is totally artificial. McConnell held Saclia's seat for more than a year. What is a few days to make sure they get it right here?

They are approaching a critical timing issue. If they don't nominate a NEW justice in the next week or two they won't be able to confirm them by the end of the year.

They have about two weeks and then they're rolling the dice on midterms. If they stick by Kavanaugh only to be looking at a guy with 10 metoo accusations and weeks of trials in a month they're going to be totally stuck with him. And likely unable to confirm him. The more time that passes, the more women get some cajones and the more testimony Blasey gives the harder its going to be to confirm.

So really they have two choices. Ram this through in the next 10 days come hell or high water or pull him right now and have Trump nominate someone new and clean as a whistle tomorrow morning that they can confirm by the end of the year.

McConnell could still get someone confirmed in the lame duck Senate session. There's no law against it. Senators are senators until their terms expire.

Clinical psychologist PP here. Memory is weird, to use a colloquialism. It's not uncommon for someone who has experienced a traumatic event to not recall some key features of the event. Other times, people report remembering aspects of a trauma in excruciating detail.

Trauma and memory is not my primary area of expertise, so I'm not sure which reaction is more common. But I've definitely had patients describe to me both ends of the spectrum, with some experiencing almost a "blackout" where they don't remember any of the trauma, only what occurred before and after. Others remember very minor details, including sounds, smells, etc.

Again, I have no way of knowing whether the woman's account is true. Just wanted to chime in re: the variability in range of recall for stressful/traumatic events.

Yes, maybe the Dems win this battle, for the reasons you outline above, and it of course is a shame if a good man’s reputation is beseeched (we don’t know). But that’s politics, and we have to focus on winning the war, which in this case means confirming a conservative Justice before November in case the tide turns.

Because the victim asked to remain anonymous. This has been explained a hundred times in this thread.

But when it was brought up at the 11th hour, she had still asked to remain anonymous. That didn't change from the day in July to the day it become known.

+1 Sorry turtle man. You screw people over and they aren't going to bring you into the loop.

It became known because she made it known.

My point exactly. The Dems have all the time in the world, and have every incentive to draw this out. The Republicans do not, because we need to confirm a Justice by November, in case the House shifts. That’s why I advocate dumping Brett and moving on to the next safer choice.

What changed was someone leaked some of the information. Ford reports having been tracked by newsmedia at her workplace, and decided to take the chance to tell her story to media herself.

That is why I am praying they try to push it through and fail miserably in a week or so with more victims and more documentation coming out! I am praying they lose the senate because of neglecting women's interest/words and Karma comes back to bite them in their a**.

Brought up at the 11th hour? You mean like how the White House provided those 40,000 pages of documents from his time with the Bush Administration?

Surely there are more victims. Speak up, ladies.

Abusive men never have just one victim, and then suddenly turn into decent people.

Nominate Bart O'Kavanaugh!
