She made it political. From start to finish to the entire reason for the testimony, it was politically based and not criminally based. |
This is really deranged. Why didn’t she accuse Gorsuch when he was actually nominated if she was just going to accuse anyone, in this weirdo view? |
She wrote a letter to her own Congresswoman, who was not a Senator and not on the committee. |
And implied to this democratic person that her testimony could get him dismissed. The whole thing makes no sense from the start. He was already a judge. It was already likely he was going to be approved. If we really are to consider it an issue against him, it would have to be criminal against him like they are doing with Trump now. She dropped it after his confirmation too. If it really was criminal, why not go through Maryland? |
Do the PPs seriously forget that Kavanaugh claimed to still have his journals from the 1980s and offered them as proof that he didn’t rape anyone? Did that not trigger as just the slightest bit ridiculous and uncredible? Or the teary rant about liking beer? Or his prurient and obsessive interest in the Clinton investigation?
Ford wasn’t the one person that claimed that Kavanaugh was sick. You can call them all liars, but at some point you have to acknowledge that an upstanding man just doesn’t generate these kinds of rumors and accusations. |
? LOL. Everyone seeking power generates these kinds of rumors. |
Me too. Most of us older than gen z understand exactly what he is and have seen that same old same old many times. Maybe the gen z frat bros will shape up...maybe not. kavanaugh's behavior is so so familiar. Lots of pissed off people out here that he has power over important decisions affecting us and our kids. |

No it didn't. It wasn't proving rape, it was proving where he was. |
The PP who pointed out the lack of such rumors about Gorsuch - and a meaner, sniveling lawyer stereotype I’ve never seen - proves your point false. If crazies came forward about him, they were just that. Ford’s story was plausible and honest, to everyone but the “boys will be boys” stepford wives and MRA goons. |
Sure the story that someone was raped that way was plausible. The way she went about it and the actual details of the incident were not. |
Every conviction has to have actual data to support it. There are actual court hearings. Even in religions. 30 plus years later people reveal their trauma for their own healing if they reveal it for the first time. They don't call up their congresswoman with no actual data other than their own words. |
Exactly. |
Democrats were not going all out to stop Gorsuch, because he was replacing a Republican appointee though they weren't happy about swapping Kennedy for someone who they thought was conservative. They went all out for Thomas who was replacing Marshall. Gorsuch was only going to get lesser opposition, like Alito, Roberts, and before that Souter who ended up being a liberal on the court. If Kavanaugh had been the first appointee he would have had no issues, and gotten the same vote as Gorsuch(still a lot of no votes). |
Suggesting the journals were fake. |
Make accusation about Kavanaugh, stop his appointment to the Supreme Court. Powerful incentive for someone to make something up. See Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick. |
