That, and women should be believed at all costs. If they say they were assaulted, they were. Absolutely. 100%.

You two are pathetic. Just post, WAAAAH. It might save you each some time.

If Judge Kavanaugh’s career and reputation are on the line because of what he did in high school (sorry can’t convince me he raped anyone, referring to drinking) then shouldn’t we evaluate Dr. Ford’s high school experience reputation too? I thought her testimony was compelling but I don’t know her nor do I know anyone who does. I do however know a few who went to high school with Judge Kavanaugh and have spoken very highly of him, even liberals.

Because Dr Ford isn’t a SCOTUS pick and hasn’t been accused of anything? Just spitballing.

This is an interesting article about the brain science involved in memories.

And my apologies to Joe Paterno and his wife. I am not really a sports fan and got their names confused. I meant Jerry Sandusky and his wife Dottie.

I was being told that I didn't understand how things work and that the FBI would never investigate this because the alleged assault didn't occur on federal property and neither the alleged victim or perpetrator were federal employees.

In fact, when I wrote this post which predicted exactly the type of hearing that was eventually held:

http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/753686.page

I was repeatedly told that I the FBI could not investigate and given a bunch of different reasons why not. I'm ashamed of my ignorance.

To be fair, it's not an investigation in the way that people tend to think about criminal FBI investigations. It's a background investigation in which the FBI will take statements from individuals and present them to the Senate. They don't come to a conclusion. An FBI criminal investigation is predicated on a federal criminal act the FBI concludes has taken place that the FBI is attempting to prove beyond a reasonable doubt with supporting evidence that is presented to a prosecutor.

I think that is all most people expected. The precedents were Thomas and Tower. Those were background investigations as well.

And if they find nothing, will you accept it?

I would have if they had done it before we saw he is a deeply disturbing person. I wouldn't want to live on his street, let alone have him be a SCJ. In trying to use Trump's approach, he came across as unfit for any job involving humans or animals.

He was ragey and hysterical. Maybe man PMS of some kind. Some kind of aging T issue, etc.

Your statements are weirdly sexist.

They will bully, lie about, ridicule, or even destroy someone's reputation, whatever it takes, to see their political preferences put in place.

She sure doesn't act like she's furious with the democrats.....

Lawyer fees aren’t cheap. She would be wise to use that money for lawyers and security details.

Who really thinks that this BS calling for a FBI investigation will change anything.

So if the FBI clears him, then it will be we can’t vote for him cuz abortion, gun laws, etc.. it will then be another set off issues.

How exactly would the FBI “clear” him? Not turning up anything new would surprise no one, and wouldn’t mean that he has been proven innocent.

He's presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. And I know....I know....it's not a trial, but the same principle applies: you can't prove a negative.

SHE has to prove that he's guilty, not the other way around.

Huh? She does not have to prove anything. She just has to be truthful. Even Republicans found her credible.

So are you saying that an allegation, even if the person making it sounds credible, is sufficient to ruin someone’s career? Do you realize what that opens the door for? She essentially has no corroborating evidence, and the people she identified as being in a position to support her accusation either denied knowledge or outright refuted it. I can’t understand how so many are willing to destroy this guy (or anyone) over an unsubstantiated allegation. I guess I do understand - you hate his politics and/or the person who nominated him.

What? Whose career is getting ruined, exactly? Cavanaugh has a lifetime judgeship, just not at the court he wants. You make it sound like he's about to go panhandle at the corner of 18th and K. He was fine before this nomination and he'll be fine after it. His children will retain their well fed look, I assure you.

That's what liberals tell themselves to assuage their guilt for destroying a man.

OK, then please, explain. In what way is his career ruined? Is he losing his lifetime judgeship?

In what way is he destroyed? Is he losing his job? His house? His family? His legs or arms? His freedom? His friends? The worst that could happen to him is that he won't get a Supreme Court seat. If this is your definition of destruction then virtually everyone in this country has been destroyed. Since so few people get to sit on the highest court of the land.

You know who is destroyed? That guy in Syria who lost his infant twins, wife and house in the chemical attack. That's the picture of a life destroyed.

Kavanaugh? Nah. He'll be fine.

Yep. Nauseating, isn't it?

I don't think so. She originally sent her letter to be heard. When she and Feinstein decided it wouldn't be influential, then they decided to let it go. Once the letter became public, then a public hearing would be the most effective way to make her voice heard, by far. Her lawyers got her exactly what she wanted.

Curious how you know what she wanted? And why would she want that?

Let me throw a little knowledge on you ladies. Whether or not you agree that this a job interview, which it ultimately is - like any other Senate confirmation - this is NOT a criminal trial or even a civil trial. The rhetoric of presumed guilty just makes you look partisan.

Second, based on myriad crime data in the U.S., UK, and Australia, false reporting of sexual assault occurs approximately 2-6% of the time, very similar to other crimes. There is no other crime where accusers are so doubted, thus the push to believe victims were abused.

It’s more than a job interview, bot.

Please elaborate. And did you just call me a bot?

It’s an advise and consent proceeding in the Senate. In many states, it’s illegal to ask about criminal allegations. I might not be following you correctly?

Or a teacher, or a basketball coach, or a reader at Blessed Sacrament.

This guy is a fraud and should be ashamed of himself.

Email from Blessed Sacrament today (Kav the choir boy's full-time church) announced a virtual town hall about the abuse and culture of secrecy that is shaking the Catholic Church. Kind of amazing timing, don't you think? BTW I am Catholic.

If you truly are Catholic then I suggest you go to reconciliation because no decent person, let alone a decent Catholic, would talk about anyone the way you just did. You need to examine your conscience.

So true. And the worst thing is that certain elements of the Blessed Sacrament community have started referring to "Coach K" as "Coach Rapey." How cruel!
