Just no. Why should they put forward a new nominee just because the Democrats have their panties in a bunch over this one and are trotting out extremely questionable allegations only to derail this nominee?

You guys are such a dishonest people.

You were content to ignore the debts and perjury., and then word surfaced of a woman accusing Brett of sexual assault. You said it didn’t matter because she was anonymous. Then she came forward and you said it didn’t matter because she wouldn’t speak under oath. Then she said she would speak under oath and could the FBI please investigate and you said it wasn’t in their scope and her accusations didn’t matter because there was only one and it wasn’t rape. So more women come forward, one possibly a victim of a gang rape involving Brett and you guys still don’t care. There’s no sexual assault you believe because you don’t think women are human.

This.

His defense is that no one but Ford remembers the party from 36 years ago.

I don't remember parties from 36 years ago where nothing happened to me, so I hardly think that's a strong defense.

He also says that the alleged witnesses to the Ramirez incident deny it happened, yet he doesn't mention that others were told about it at the time. Ya, that's heresay, but it's still significant:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/09/24/brett-kavanaugh-deborah-ramirez-what-we-know/1408056002/

One student, who chose to remain anonymous, told The New Yorker that he recalled being told about the alleged incident that night or the next day. He said he was "100 percent sure" that the person who told him about it identified Kavanaugh as the student who exposed himself.

Another classmate at Yale, now-emergency room doctor Richard Oh, remembered a tearful female student describing the incident but he could not recall who the student was.

Wow, really strong corroboration.

There’s an email chain of people wondering if/when the Yale incident was going to come out between a whole bunch of students that dates back before Dr. Ford went public.

We have not seen the email chain. This is what the story says;

Mark Krasberg, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of New Mexico who was also a member of Kavanaugh and Ramirez’s class at Yale, said Kavanaugh’s college behavior had become a topic of discussion among former Yale students soon after Kavanaugh’s nomination. In one e-mail that Krasberg received in September, the classmate who recalled hearing about the incident with Ramirez [discussed just above in the story] alluded to the allegation and wrote that it “would qualify as a sexual assault,” he speculated, “if it’s true.”

Krasberg in effect says he received an email from the anonymous student in the article who had heard about the incident second hand and repeated it in the email.

So the email "chain" does not appear to bring in new witnesses, second hand or otherwise.

The continuing conflation of this confirmation process with a criminal trial has to be regarded as arguing in bad faith by now. I'm anti-Kavanaugh, but even I will concede that the evidence we've seen so far doesn't rise to the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If I were on a jury and the State was asking me to convict him, I'd vote to acquit.

But that's not the standard here. What we've seen rises to at least probable cause. So there is plenty of reason to conduct a professional investigation rather than the shit show we've seen currently. (Sticking with the trial court analogies, the process so far resembles a small claims case being argued by self-represented litigants.)

Ashley is insane. She’s twelve years younger and wasn’t in elite schools in DC or the NE. She has no clue as to what he did. LOL - she best up her cupcake purchases.

Nice!

Don't care about Kavanaugh one way or another, but am definitely anti-trial by allegation.

I thought he should have been disqualified on the binge drinking and credit card debt alone, neither of which are disputed, and neither of which speak well of his character. So cry me a river BK!

+1 and because he said that no president had vetted more widely - clearly an unprovable statement from someone who should clearly choose words carefully. He is not even close to being independent - he’s been a Republican cog his entire career. Finally, his drunken friend said not under oath that he wasn’t there. Means nothing and I’d expect a Supreme Court judge to understand how problematic that is.

Is every confirmation hearing now going to include the question, "so judge, did you ever try to get to second base in high school?"

FBI background checks go back 10 years. So this is a waste of time. At least with gorech the Republicans were honest, the libs are pulling in false accusations

A full scope background check is not limited to 10 years.

The judge has been in the government since law school. He probably had his first background check when he was in his 20s. They definitely checked out his years at Yale.

This may be controversial, or perhaps overly wishful thinking, but I hope that once all of this blows over we will have political agreement that adults will be judged on the men and women they have become and not the boys and girls they once were.

...while pinning down the unwilling recipient?”

Sounds like a fair question to me!

I completely disagree. I think when it comes to moral character, people don’t change.

You read it was on Fox, right? They’re going to ask which is his favorite saint to pray to and what are her secrets for baking.q
