Sworn testimony is a form of proof. Sworn testimony of a single witness can be and has been the basis of criminal convictions. /s/A Lawyer. |
These were not women with nothing to lose. |
Sure, they released an unprecedented amount of documemts. But they also withheld an unprecedented amount of documents. And you may think it's reasonable, but the members on the SJC, who were also lawyers, do not. And the one moving the goalposts is you. Your logic: Avenatti and Dr. Ford coming forward at the last minute? Bullshit. GOP releasing 56,000 pages at the last minute? T Totally reasonable! |
Could that be part of why we have the suicides of boys in MC public schools? |
This is a frightening thought - that there is “no harm” in denying this person a SCOTUS seat if he is innocent. So, we are OK with any accusation - with no real evidence - to cause any person to lose an opportunity to which that person is eminently qualified? You are ok with mere accusations to ruin a person’s life? Because, that is exactly what is happening here. The truth is.... if these people were REALLY interested in FBI investigations, they could have gone about doing so in the proper way. They could have brought their claims forward, when this nominee was announced, presented their claims to the committee and had the FBI investigate as part of their background investigation. But, that was not the goal here. The goal was to present allegations, after the hearings were done, to delay and attempt to derail this process. I can predict what would happen with an FBI investigation - they would find no evidence to support or deny the claims made. Because there is none. They would collect statements, present them to the committee, and we would be exactly where we are now. Except months down the road because the DEMOCRATS have chosen to play games and not follow regular procedure. |
Don’t you know? Women are perpetual victims who have zero responsibility for their own actions. We are basically scared infants who cannot handle the big scary world. |
Oh come on, your assertion is insane. No woman in her right mind would continue to hang out and go to parties with guys whom she believed participated in gang rape. |
Sounds like you should #walkaway!!! |
Oh, I see what you mean. It is the GIRLS fault for having the audacity to go to a party where boys did illegal things so she is really to be blamed. Right? Not the boys who did the illegal things, but rather the girls who were around when teh illegal things happened. Yeah, let's blame them for even being there. Jesus. Should i never take the subway because muggings happen there? IF i get mugged is that MY fault for being the women who dared to take public transportation knowing i could get mugged? The mugger? Nope, not his fault at all. How dare I carry a purse and flaunt that to him. |
I get what you're saying, but if this is the standard playbook for democrats - why don't they use it every time? Why not Gorsuch? Why not every single GOP senate candidate? Why not Mike Pence? |
It figures she'd support Jordan Peterson, the guy who supports marital rape. |
She didn't say she went to parties with them, but that they were at some of the same parties she went to. As why she continued to party, when you're young and you're with your girl friends, you think it can't happen to you. I'm very sad for all of these young women. |
They would if they thought it was the victim's fault for making poor choices and that it wouldn't happen to them because they would make better choices (e.g. avoid the punch). |
Are you sure walk away doesn’t exist? I heard the guy who started it on a podcast the other day |
If they're taught that guys running trains on drunk girls is just one of those things that happens, they might. If, for example, someone who participated in these gang rapes was appointed to the Supreme Court, they might doubt their sense that such people are to be shunned. |
