Reminds me of when people though Amanda Knox was a sex murdress because she did a cartwheel when dealing with the death of her roommate. “That’s not how you act” they chanted, never for a moment reflecting on the basis for their suppositions about how one is to respond to a different situation.

I don’t know what the truth is for Kavanaugh or Ford.

I do know that you cannot divine any great insight from his anger after being accused. In either direction.

Some of us have lived through similar experiences, which we cannot describe in detail because we do not wish to be identified. We all behaved with grace under fire, because this is what upright people do, with jobs and reputation on the line. Sadly, unless it's the EXACT same accusation for the EXACT same position, you will refuse to believe this carries the same weight.

Too bad for you.

Even if what you say is true, I am not sure you can extrapolate from your N of 1.

I've been falsely accused in a very public way, and it made me ANGRY AS HELL.

Now, that doesn't mean I automatically conclude BK is innocent. Simply that very few people can relate to this situation, and postulate from how they imagine they would act. Like how they would act if their roommate was murdered in a foreign country. Foxy Knoxy.

Then you are not Supreme Court material. There are jobs in this world that require a certain character and personality.

Under pressure, I am preternaturally calm without even consciously deciding to be - it's a defense mechanism because I feel I need to have all my wits about me. I couldn't be angry if I tried.

My husband, who was publicly accused in a very contentious and downright dangerous situation, also had the same reaction. He stayed extra calm because there was so much at stake.

Again, different people, different ways of dealing with problems. Some disqualify themselves from certain posts.

Sorry, no, taking it up the *ss while being worked over by a bunch of political thugs is not a good trait in a judge. We need someone who is willing to stand up and fight for the rule of law, logic, and reason.

Then Kavanaugh's your man. He is willing to fight. Read his questions to Clinton. He fights dirty.

His continued harassment of Vince Foster’s family after no less than four investigations has determined his cause of death was suicide was extremely cruel and beyond partisan. He has been unsuitable for the Court for decades.

To the GOP/Kavanaugh supporters, do you agree or disagree with this article?

How is this all going to end? I just want to know.

Entropy will result in the last star fading to black. The universe will be dark and lifeless for eternity.

That made me feel better. I saw Hamilton last month and ever since I've envisioned my great grandkids going to the theater to see "2016 The Musical."

Actually I was married to a gaslighter, and Kavanaugh's testimony was like a bad trip back to my marriage. The minimizing (it was JUST beer, JUST the weekends), the bald faced lies (Renate was a good friend) the turning it around on the questioner (How dare YOU insinuate that I had sex with Renate!) the defiant anger in response to being asked questions that were directly related to the accusations, turning it around on Kolbuchar (do YOU? do YOU have a drinking problem?) It was classic. It was how lying liars lie 101.

Acting like it's inappropriate to inquire into his drinking and sexual proclivities when he has been accused of sexual assault while under the influence, classic, classic gaslighting. "I'm not going to let this be about what *I* did, I am going to turn it around on you, YOU are the problem here, YOU are the crazy and inappropriate one, you, You, YOU.

Problem is he isn't actually very good at it. My ex had more finesse that this guy.

LOL, someone admitting publicly having paid money to see Hamilton.

As an immigrant from a third world country, I can tell you the US is moving in that direction with respect to rule of law and institutions.

Wow, such technique and such certainty. Do behavioral scientists know about this course about lying 101? Gosh we need to get this to the FBI stat! For certain this is much more reliable than a polygraph.

Saw = paid? So you just assumed they didn't get tickets as a gift?

This is the equivalent of getting the easiest question on the SAT wrong

Kavanaugh threads just attract the stupidest posters

Nope. This isn’t a litigator, who might well be impassioned. This is a Judge. Who thoughtfully listens to and considers everyone’s arguments, tries to clear their mind of pre-conceived notions and hear what is being said. Then respond in s measured way. An appellate courtroom is not the WWF, with all seven justices yelling at each other and sobbing.

Somehow, the Court managed to issue Brown and Roe v. wade and Obgerfell with no yelling or crying at all.

You must run in a different crowd than most people in DC.

Newspapers have no business in either supporting or opposing SCOTUS nominees.
Newspapers should be reporting the news.

You realize news sources have been partisan since Martin Luther printed the bible, right?

Maybe we should all go and watch "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Kavanaugh is no Tom Robinson. Be ashamed.
