I think if Trump had switched the order of his nominations, we would have heard the same accusation by Ford against Gorsuch, who went to the same school and is younger by two years.

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?

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).

I don't even get the strategy though other than to just throw mud. The democrats knew they were going to get someone they didn't like. It was pretty obvious from the beginning that Ford had little actual data to support her claim so no real reason to bring her testimony forward as an actual crime and it wasn't at all related to any work he did as a judge or anything related to work. So it was just to throw mud around and paint an anti-feminine picture of the GOP for future elections.

Crime? Be serious. A jack-ass drunk high school fake alter-boy bro that assaults another teen is not going down for a crime. The point is to keep such poor character off SCOTUS. SCOTUS should have better.

Statute of limitations was up on this long ago.
It's more about moral terpitude. I served on a professional licensing board and that was one of the necessary traits for licensure, I'd doubly expect the same for SCOTUS appointees.

Do you actually have people come forth and make accusations that haven't gone through court? Would you listen to them? Or would you refer them to the court that makes sense for the criminal offense first. I think as a licensing board you can review past offenses. Not new ones that come up out of nowhere. And wouldn't they have to be related to the license being sought? If you were reviewing an engineer you might listen to some new testimony of an engineering offense not on record, but I can't see someone reviewing a domestic violence accusation that had no proof.

MOST people, appointees or otherwise, DO NOT get random accusations.

Most committees don't pay attention to random accusations. Unless, they are Feinstein, Whitehouse, etc.

Ford's accusations were orchestrated from the very beginning. With the help of her "beach" friend.
Just look at Whitehouse and what he "found."

Are we really going to let these types of accusations with no foundation stand?

You realize you are saying that a woman who was assaulted saying under oath that she was assaulted has "no foundation" for telling what happened to her. So if there isn't video or a witness you are willing to believe, then it didn't happen?

Sure, if it happened to her. There is no evidence that it did--except for what she said. People were interviewed and no one she said was present remembered. Only one person came forward and said she heard about it at --except sch She couool was not in session and she later admitted to lying.
She couldn't remember how she got home. She couldn't remember where it was. The stairs changed from 'short" to "narrow" or vice versa.

NO one corroborated her story. She said she knew nothing about lie detector tests--yet a former boyfriend said she had coached the "beach friend" when she took one for the FBI.
The timeline didn't fit, either.

And, please do not forget--she said there were four then two. And, while a threat of assault is scary--she never said she was raped.

The story was rolled out by Feinstein's staff very slowly. They had the story months before and waited until they were ready to vote to bring it forward. It was orche4strated. Period.

It happened. Period.

DP. No. It didn't. The end.

You were there?

I went to some of those Prep parties back in the day, most likely ran into Kavanaugh and his buddies on more than one occasion. Believe me, the rape story is entirely credible.

That is totally false. They looked into claims made by LWNJs and found they were totally false.

No, dear. The FBI didn’t investigate the tips.
1) Your first link relates to a fraudulent tip, not all of the tips and it dates from 2018, before news broke that they did eff all. It doesn’t refute that the FBI didn’t investigate.
2) Same thing. This is the committee having reached out to the claimant, not the FBI. The FBI did not investigate Brett Kavanaugh.
3) From 2018, so again prior to the news from 2021 that they didn’t do their job, your third link only talks about the narrow investigation into the charges made by Christine Blasey Ford. They didn’t speak to either Blasey Ford or Brett.
4) Your fourth link is just the executive summary of the piece referenced in your third link.

The FBI didn’t do a full investigation into Brett. I’m not linking more articles because you clearly didn’t read the link I provided a few pages ago to clear up your arrogant ignorance.

That’s pretty much the playbook of Republicans. I mean you can see from their forced birther politics that they truly don’t consider women to be people, they’re property, and as such, whatever a guy wants to do to a girl is acceptable and irreproachable. Either it didn’t happen or it’s her fault/she should have stopped it/what was she wearing or she wanted it but now she feels guilty so she’s lying about it.

The thing is that Bretty’s cheering squad wants to put this alleged incident over there on its own pedestal, stripped of the context within with the GOP treats women, women’s bodies and sexual assault. They think we won’t notice that they treat every alleged victim at least this badly, if not worse, especially those women who are brave enough to try and get the law involved to stop a rapist.

Those among the Bretty cheering squad who have experienced sexual assault, both male and female, know full well the truth of what she’s saying. They just don’t like it, they don’t like admitting that what happened to them was not their fault, but they are tribal and they are going to double down. There’s a discomfort for these people, an uncomfortable emotional friction and I wish they’d sit with that and go where it leads them. Because Brett showed himself, an angry, small man who has shown no emotional growth since the alleged incident as a teen and not since his years obsessed with the Clintons’ sex life and not since he helped install W. He is unfit.

This is what I mean by the entire purpose of this was to make this about the entire party and future elections and not just this one instance. I noticed the person who was on the licensing board who responded and was called out had nothing to actually say about their own licensing and how they would treat an accusation like this. Can you imagine every doctor having to hear about some random person who didn't go through court having someone just show up and talk about something that happened to you 30 years ago with no proof and no criminality attached to it and completely unrelated to your job as a heart surgeon or something?

What if it was that "Bretty" stole $10k in stuff from the family and they had no record of this but it was just words? What if it was that they tried to poison someone way back when 30 years ago? What difference does it make? If criminally you cannot go back that far, then it doesn't matter at the supreme court level. It was a political stunt and nothing more.

She never accused him of rape. I guess that was a step too far even for her.

What rape? Do you know anything about this story? A sweaty drunk bro showing off for his buddy with his abusing ways. We have a total low quality schmuck on SCOTUS.

Christine Blasey Ford’s sole reason for coming forward to keep an unfit man off the highest bench. You’ve clearly spent too much time in the right wing dumb-o-sphere where conspiracy = fact, but your weird leaps in logic don’t wash here.

The story was rolled out by Feinstein's staff very slowly. They had the story months before and waited until they were ready to vote to bring it forward. It was orche4strated. Period.

It happened. Period.

DP. No. It didn't. The end.

Yes. It. Did

And your proof that it did? Oh, right. You have zero proof. It did not happen, and repeating yourself does not make it so.

This was not a trial or a court proceeding. The point was to keep a person of inferior character off of SCOTUS.

He’s complete garbage. Look at all the people from Yale that came out about his gross behavior in college. Lying under oath to get appointments. Lying at his Supreme Court hearing,

He isn’t qualified to be on the court which is actually the worst. He knows he is a lightweight intellectually and hates that the legal community doesn’t respect him. His complete lack of decorum and control during his SC hearing made it crystal clear he’s a tantrum throwing mediocre jerk who thinks he’s entitled to be among the elite and really pissed that he isn’t.

A lot of bad things happen in the prep school & country club set but no one is supposed to tell. If you tell your family is shunned.
