He. didn’t. do. what. she. is. claiming. he. did.
He is not going to apologize for something he didn’t do. Would you?

Then Kavanaugh should have called for and supported an FBI investigation in the first place. If he's innocent, he has nothing to fear.

I just wonder what he is scared the FBI will find if they look harder...

Why do you assume that people will stop at preventing him from being on the Supreme Court?
There have already been calls to try and remove him from the court of appeals: https://now.org/media-center/press-release/brett-kavanaugh-should-be-removed-from-the-bench/

So no, the "worst that could happen" isn't just not getting to be a Supreme Court Justice.

And, if you think he's guilty, and if you think he knows he's guilty, then this is reasonable. Not just because of what he did - we might be able to excuse a teenager's brutish behavior from way-back-when - but because he lied about it, which indicates a lack of remorse as an adult that makes him unfit to judge others.

But if you think he's guilty, but doesn't know he's guilty because he was black out drunk or whatever your preferred scenario is, then this might not be reasonable. If we start going after all of us middle aged people for the stuff we got away with (remembered or not) in our youth, even if we perform our current functions well and seem like perfectly reasonable people, we're going to have quite a line at the guillotine.

And if you think he's not guilty, then it's not even remotely reasonable.

this, this, this.

If you raped someone in high school, you should be in jail. ( Some states have a SOL on sexual assault for crimes committed when the victim was an adult, some do not. )

This was not drinking or shoplifting, or getting in a fist fight. This wasn't stealing the rival school's mascot. Stop acting like sexual assault isn't a BFD. It is.

+1, what are you suggesting first pp? that sexual assault is "stuff middle aged people got away with in their youth?" Ford said they shut the door and turned the music up loud and that she called out hoping someone would hear her. The boys laughed.

Sexual assault is indeed exactly the kind of thing middle aged people got away with in their youth. But middle aged people also got away with physical assault. Shoplifting. Theft. Breaking and entering. Speeding. Illegal drug use. Drug dealing. Using prostitutes. Being prostitutes. Illegal consumption of alcohol. Name it, some or even many of us in our middle age got away with it. To what extent do we hold us all responsible now?

When you are applying for one of the most powerful positions in America, on the SCOTUS you need to be held accountable for all your past actions.

How accountable? And what's that mean?
Could we have a Supreme Court Justice who used illegal drugs in his youth?
What about one who had a DUI in his youth?

Would it be ok if they fessed up and showed how they'd changed? What if they tried to downplay it, like that old "I didn't inhale" crud that no one believed? Would that be a disqualifier?

Douglas Ginsburg withdrew his nomination after it was revealed he smoked pot 3 times in his life.

Yup. Though how anyone could believe Judge over Ford is beyond me.

Ford was wholly unbelievable, in a sad spacey sort of way. The prosecutor who interviewed her, who specialized in this area said that she would not prosecute the case based on the evidence she heard.

A lot of DC area women are pulling out their Kodak 110 film camera photos this weekend! The resolution was not so great but it sure was easy to pop in those film cartridges and bring the Kodak 110 to parties, field trips and school events.

What difference? They were still underage.

True--something he also lied about. "The Seniors were legal"--no, no they were not.

The frat bros I knew growing up would see this type of event as a special occasion, though, like "let's have a party to stick it to the new law!"

Why do you think they weren't working for Ford's interests?

Because she wanted as little publicity as possible and likely would have taken the Rs up on their offer to come to CA and take her testimony quietly. She seemed surprised to learn of that offer, and actually said thank you.

The lawyers definitely should have told her of her option. They clearly had a conflict of interest.....to do what's best for their client, or what's best for the Democrats who recommended their legal services. They do not necessarily align.

She specifically said that Katz and Bromwich were *not* among those that DiFi's office recommended. You're really reaching.

This is false. How do people get such basic facts wrong. Let's go to the transcript of Ford's testimony:

GRASSLEY: Senator Kennedy now, so we’ll proceed, Ms. Mitchell.

MITCHELL: Dr. Ford, we’re almost done. Just a couple clean up questions first of all. Which – which of your two lawyers did Senator Feinstein’s office recommend?

FORD: The Katz –

MITCHELL: I’m sorry?

FORD: The Katz firm.

+100
People here like to appear innocently ignorant at times to promote their lies and misinformation. It is how they try to confuse people and promote #FakeNews.

He lied about so many other things, how do you know he is not lying about this?
-finances
-drinking
-devils triangle
-boofing
-GP guys don't hang with Holton girls
-that he didn't watch Ford's testimony
-his activities in the Bush Administration

The list goes on.

What credibility does he have?

Yeh what was the whole thing about not hanging with Hilton girls? Too good for them? Vice versa? Very obvious.

Your opinion, the rest of the world thought she was honest and believable. No one doubts she was assaulted.

You know the GOP released that statement, right. This was never a criminal hearing. Notice the prosecutor does not state that she finds Ford to be not credible, nor does she say if she thinks it happened. She only said she wouldn't try the case.

Liberals will have gotten their week-long delay. But, we will be no further along.
And, in years to come, liberals will continue to bad-mouth Justice Kavanaugh, despite his impeccable judicial record because...
- they are liberals
- they don’t believe that “boofing” refers to flatulence or “Devil’s Triangle” is a drinking game
- they don’t really want the truth - they are secretly hoping for another allegation to come forward
- they are fearful of decisions on Roe vs. Wade
- we have the example of Justice Thomas. Despite an FBI investigation that found no evidence to the claims being made, he is still guilty. Because.....
- he isn’t liberal

It is patently transparent what the game is here. And, those of use disgusted with the crap the Democrats have pulled are growing in number by the day.

Yup. It's entirely possible this has turned my college-age kids into Republicans for this next vote. My daughter said flat out that the yearbook questioning was stupid - she could not believe grown adults were behaving that way.

Out of curiosity: how many more credible accusations would it take for you to believe?

How many more? How about one. Because, so far, there have been NO credible allegations.
Your standard for any kind of evidence is terribly low.

Evidence that Ford is a false accuser who was paid?

I'd like to know what was in the envelope slipped to Ford's lawyer.

This isn't a prosecution, the statute of limitations has passed, she hadn't finished her interview with the accused and a key witness not available. So of course she wouldn't prosecute. The question should be: would she hire him to work for her?
