Following news that Christine Blasey Ford had accused SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of physically assaulting her in an attempted rape during a college party in the 1980s, 65 women came forward to sign a pledge in support of Kavanaugh’s character. Now, Ford has provided lie detector results administered by a former FBI agent which appears to verify her story.

It only took a few short days but 63 of the 65 women who initially signed the pledge have backed away from their support of Kavanaugh.

Um, source?

All of the Republicans' options are bad. The optics of a hearing with all the Republican white men grilling the accuser will be bad. The optics of not letting the accuser speak, when Anita Hill at least had her day, are also bad. Best bet is to withdraw.

No one except a truth-telling person would want to put themselves in that position.

And among those, there are very few truth-telling persons who would actually go through with it.

As the MeToo movement has shown, most victims still aren't ready to come out. It's too traumatizing to relive the even and have a number of people calling you names, tearing you apart and disbelieving you.

Therefore I find the accuser credible.

I have no such sympathy for the accused. He wanted the Supreme Court judgeship, he should be prepared to take the heat for whatever has happened in his past.

All we want is a half-way decent person on the SC. WHY can't Republicans choose someone else? A woman would probably take the sails out of the Democrat's usual complaints.

Anyone willing to destroy another's life by putting an accusation like this out there should be fully willing to have every aspect of their life combed over as well. Why should only the accused have to be put through this kind of scrutiny? One-sided, much?

I’m, real source? That (partisan) source provides no documentation. And I’m in the “he should withdraw “ camp.

+1. In this situation I agree.

How did you get on the Internet from 1938? (Hot tip from the future - look out for German aggression).

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/brett-kavanaugh-should-withdraw-his-nomination-good-supreme-court-country-ncna910221

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....

Do you think she is lying? If she cannot be substantiated and yet if you believe she is telling the truth, Kavanaugh is not owed a SC judgeship by the country. He is not being charged with attempted rape, but should not be elevated to the highest judge position with this information. If I were interviewing a candidate for a mere software developer position and I get a letter from a woman like this, who would risk publicly testifying the ordeal, I would reject the candidate in a heartbeat. Why do we rush Kavanaugh's appointment?

And I would encourage my son to sue the heck out of you.

The article states the source is from Politico and provides a link to the original story.

And the Politico story says no such thing, only that most didn’t respond to messages.

Exactly. I can tell you mine happened in July before my 14th birthday in September. I could easily do the math and get a year. In San Jose, a townhome. I can tell you what the room(s) looked like and the expression of disgust towards ME his WIFE threw when he was bagged pushing me against a wall rubbing his erect member on me. Then she walked out of the room - did not help me.

She must've been drunk herself or she would remember more details - she's holding back on something(s) and there's a reason for it.

Just because you remember doesn’t mean everyone can. I know what happened to me in college took place junior or senior year, but I couldn’t be more specific than that. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

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.

And often, psychologists fill in the missing details, i.e. "help" their patients remember. Many a life has been ruined by psychologists putting ideas in vulnerable heads.

In a court of law? "I know you assaulted me but I can't say when or where" would not hold up.
