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.

No, that just means she believes what she says. It doesn't prove that she's correct. Otherwise, my neighbor can honestly think I was the one who robbed his house last night, testify to that and sound credible, and I'm convicted without evidence.

Well, if your competent and trustworthy neighbor who has socialized with you extensively says that she is 100% sure that you are the one who shoved her into a room and proceeded to grope her with your hand over her mouth in the daylight hours, she’s probably right.

Just because she says so, she's probably right? Why aren't I probably right when I say I didn't? Why believe her without any evidence?

Question is...why would neighbor say it if it weren’t true. Just messing with you? Decided to create drama and picked you (and not the other 8 neighbors)? Bored?

Mentally ill?

Did you watch his 30+ hours of testimony 2 weeks ago?
Yesterday he was there defending his reputation, his integrity and his livelihood. He was facing people who had called him “evil” and a “danger to all.” He was facing people who had proudly and publicly said, “I believe her” before hearing any testimony. He had every right to be angry. He had every right to show his fury at these ridiculous charges.
And, no, he could not adequately defend himself without showing his outrage. Had he done that, you folks would still say, “Look... he really is guilty. An innocent man would have more anger.”
Face it - NOTHING he did would please you.

This. So much this.

I honestly cannot believe some people think he should have somehow handled himself better. The man is being acused of sexual assault. I expect him to be angry and show it.

He is not presiding over a court case. He is defending his reputation.

+1,000
He had been very calm and soft spoken during his interview with Martha Macallum (sp?), but that was several days before the other outrageous claims came out. By yesterday, I imagine it was all he could do to speak coherently without breaking down. I had to listen on the radio since I was driving, but was in tears listening to the anger and pain in his voice, trying to hold it together. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be accused of things you didn’t do, and having no way to clear your name.

The man was accused of horrible things that he flatly denies. I don’t know who’s telling the truth here, but those of you who believe Ford without reservation, may I ask why? Every witness she has named has refuted her claim. Yes, even Mark Judge who did so in writing, under penalty of perjury. No one has corroborated her account. Why is it that you have such certainty that he did it? I don’t get this utter glee some of you have about ruining this man’s life - with zero evidence.

His rants betrayed his partisanship and hatred for fellow Americans who he will be asked to serve in the SCOTUS. His responsibility is NOT to the president or the GOP; it is to the Constitution. And that Constitution is as much as a "left" or Democratic Constitution as it is a "right" or Republican one. He was clearly unhinged as he threatened to take down the left. And over what?

There IS considerable evidence that at the very least, he demonstrated deep disregard for women in his life as a younger man. As a judge he has been noted to select women with a certain "look" - not based upon their talent, necessarily. A Devils Triangle is not a drinking game. Renate Alumnus is not a flattering comment. He belonged to a social group at Yale that reveled in disregard and sexual objectification of women. Yes, there are absolutely pieces of evidence that suggest Kavanaugh thinks little of women beyond their body parts.

He's a grown frat bro. Nothing more and totally unworthy of the seat he seems to think he's entitled to.

Sorry, but there has been zero evidence that he selected women with a certain "look" - that was all hearsay and innuendo. Did he select many female law clerks? Yes - TO HIS CREDIT. As for the ridiculous references to his yearbook, none of that absurdity has anything to do with the allegation and should not have even been brought up. What an embarrassment Sen. Whitehouse is. I don't blame Kavanaugh at all for being upset. I would be too if hammered with the kinds of questions we saw yesterday, that had ZERO to do with Ford's allegation. So pathetic.

He has been accused of attempted rape and attempted murder. IF I were put in that position and didn't do those things, I'd be furious and express my anger very loudly and forcefully, too.

Then you would be thrown in jail for contempt of court.

I believe we've already determined that it's not a trial, right?

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.

The very fact you can't find a damn thing on Ford tells you all you need to know.

As a Catholic woman, I really REALLY hope that Georgetown Prep encourages their alumni to speak with the FBI if they have information.

I got the feeling from the testimony that Kavanaugh (you know, when he said he had been calling his friends from high school) had called them all and cooked up other meanings for these things in his yearbook and on his calendar. Like they all agreed to the lies together.

I think that Kavanaugh feels he is morally above this investigation (he showed that in the hearing by not bothering to answer questions).

I hope the school will ask their alumni to be honest and open with the FBI.

His published book says otherwise

His book makes no reference whatsoever to the allegation in question. And you know it.

I think the intent was to show what the mind set was at the time the alleged event happened. What was he like then as opposed to now. I know this isn't supposed to a court room but it was certainly treated as one, but for the corroborating evidence.

I assume he didn't attempt to rape everyone. I'm sure he has lots of people he didn't attack who like him very much.

You said if you were being accused of attempted rape and murder. If you were being accused of that it WOULD be at a trial.

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

It's like none of you even listened to a word Ford said. She specifically stated that Palo Alto residents are paying for security fees and her lawyers stated they are working pro-bono with no expectation of being paid.

This is why no conservative even takes any of you seriously. You hear only what you WANT to hear.

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.

The people in this area disgust me in ways you cannot even imagine. Every time I travel to other areas of the country, I'm shocked at the difference!

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!

For me personally? Because I've grown up in a political climate where the Republicans I knew touted family values, yet the cheated, lied, hit their spouses, yet flat out vehemently opposed the "godless" Dems. I grew up around men who molested young girls, lied about it, said women who dressed a certain way were sluts, yet at home with their wives literally raped their wives and go on and on about Bill Clinton at every possible occasion. Because I was punched and told it never happened. Because I was molested and told that my 7 year old-self probably did something to deserve/bring it on. Because I have seen this circle repeatedly tell me it's not OK to destroy families, and had no problem destroying Hillary and Chelsea. Had no problem trying to destroy Obama's daughters. Because this party has no credibility, and therefore I assume the lying hypocrisy is just part of their MO.

If Kavanaugh is truly the upstanding choir boy he is, he should have come out and said: This nomination isn't worth more to me than my family, I withdraw. I request the attacks and character assassinations on a woman we presume is a victim of assault stop. While I know in my heart that I am innocent of this charge, I will not character assassinate a woman and ruin her entire life, as my life and my family aren't worth more than hers, and victims of sexual assault have suffered long enough in this country. Maybe this is a moment for us all to look inward and understand that we have failed victims of sexual assault, and that more needs to be done. Then, Kavanaugh, you'd have had my backing and my sympathy. Till then, you're just one more man who rapes behind closed doors, and then rants on about Dems wanting abortions.

The only person in this scenario who has truly had his character assassinated is Brett Kavanaugh. With no evidence, no corroborating witnesses, nothing - he is judged guilty of Ford's allegation. To you, he's guilty, even though there is zero proof or evidence. I honestly can't even believe that people like you call yourselves Americans. I certainly wouldn't wish what Kavanaugh and his family have gone through on my worst enemies.
