Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 3

[Anonymous]

^^There are many more people who say they had never seen Kavanaugh out of control when consuming alcohol.
I don’t give that statement much validity.

Go to 8:43 at https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_loftus_the_fiction_of_memory#t-523210 and watch from there. It's really interesting.

Powerful quote from the end of the talk: "If I've learned anything from these decades of working on these problems it's this: just because somebody tells you something and they say it with confidence, just because they say it with lots of detail, just because they express emotion when they say it, it doesn't mean that it really happened."

BINGO.
And, once again - the 4 people SHE gave as people who could corroborate her story were unable to do that.

We get it. You think he is a lovely sweet man. Got it.

One does not need to be pro-Kavanaugh to be appalled by the use of totally uncorroborated allegations against a nominee.

This is inaccurate. And you know it. Cosby, Sandusky, Nassar, they all went down from testimony and sworn statements. She had that. She also has medical records that are considered evidence in all 50 states.

At stakes is the "separate sovereigns" exception to double jeopardy. If he (and the other 4 conservative judges) vote to overrule it, people given presidential pardons for federal crimes cannot be tried for that crime at the state level.

Trump can pardon the lot of them and they have nothing to fear from state's attorneys.

Hence the rush to get Kavanaugh on the court.

If this is successful, our republic and the rule of law is dead.

How do you know it is on the docket for October? Is there any way that can be delayed?

So do you think Weinstein is innocent too? You know since some people said he never treated them inappropriately? Just curious.

Fod has not had "repressed memory" therapy. PLus, her memory of the event was not repressed -- she just didn't tell anyone for a long time.

How do you know?

How do you know she has? What I know is that she was in couples counseling with her husband, that she told some friends about the incident along the way, that the incident affected her studies in undergrad. There are no reports of any repressed memory therapy. It's simply speculation.

Plus, I know that repressed memory therapy has been debunked by the professional psychological community of which Ford is a part.

Right after Dr. Loftus' quote above she continues: "We can’t reliably distinguish true memories from false memories. We need independent corroboration."

Dr. Loftus has a PhD from Stanford and researches human memory. https://faculty.sites.uci.edu/eloftus/

I should have added from nearly 40 years ago.

She apparently gave part of the therapist notes to the WaPo, but the notes have not been turned over to the SJC. So not evidence. Let's see if they are given to the FBI or withheld as confidential medical records.

According to WaPo, she was also in individual therapy.

Doesn't matter. Kavanaugh said sometimes he drank too much. That is all his classmate is saying, so he is just confirming what Kavanaugh said.

This is very important.

Wasn't the Potomac Safeway actually an Albertson's back in '82?

Except in certain situations. Certainly one of those situations is when you’re interviewing for a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE position. On national TV under oath. That is where you would not do this. Would never work.

Except it might.

Watched his testimony with my teen as a lesson in what lying looks like. Evade, evade, evade....

There was a ton of corroborating evidence in each of those cases.
