Does anyone else get the idea that Mrs. Kavanaugh and her friends are some busy bees on these threads?

Because we bring evidence to contradict assertions people are making here?

Has it occurred to you that some people here want to safeguard the seriousness with which women's assault allegations are taken and feel that is undermined by high profile allegations as flimsy as Ford's?

Agree. I am appalled by these liberals who say we should believe her, regardless of any evidence, because women should be believed....because....well....

I bet these same women would sing a different tune if their husbands were accused.

And I bet YOU would sing a different tune if you or your daughter had been assaulted and no one believed you.

I was thinking the same thing until I realized that the accuser’s siblings and parents have not said one thing publicly to defend her. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Maybe they blame her for the assault.

"Do you know why I suspect you all do this, beyond a partisan zeal that that small segment of remaining Republican women share? I think you do it because you have internalized all the nasty, misogynist messages you’ve been fed. On some level you think it’s her fault that this happened and you think it’s your fault that you were assaulted. It is not your fault that he assaulted you. It’s not. You didn’t do anything wrong. You could report or not, as feels comfortable to you. You can talk about it now or not. But I do pray that you find peace and benefit of the doubt for a fellow victim. Peace be with you."

Well said--thank you.

How does that square with her saying she told no one?

What’s a Senator supposed to ask: “Now, uh, uh, Judge, if you were going to, uh, say, uh, allegedly sexually assault a uh, a uh, woman at a uh, uh, uh, er, party, would, uh, you want to put that on your calendar to make sure you, uh, didn’t forget about it?” [Southern accent optional].

Although I’m starting to think this woman is a loon, nevertheless this post is LOL funny!!

That is just a tad bit insulting.
Why don’t you do it in the voice of Spartacus next?

Who? I mean whatever, but an actual alibi would be a calendar entry that conflicts with attendance at America’s Most Famous House Party of 1982.
Two old white prepoies testifying before even older white senators. I’m, like, stoked to watch, man!

Now she has come forward and does not have her parents support. Maybe she has no relationship with them. Maybe she has requested they not comment. Maybe be they are Ill. Maybe they suffer from dementia.

Divide us by race, class, age etc.; this is the Bible of identity politics and it’s bad for our country. It is the most insidious form of racism and elitism, and I think it will backfire.

Before the hearing and during the breaks, the Senate should LOUDLY play “Where the Party At.” Dancing optional.

Like most people around here, maybe she has a very dysfunctional family.

Alan Dershowitz: Every civil libertarian in the country, liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat, led by the Civil Libertarian Union should be outraged by this demand. It is so un-American. You’re the accuser. You get on the witness stand. You testify. You make your accusation. You get cross-examined. THEN the accused responds. It turns the entire legal system on its head. It is INSANE to ask an accused person to deny the accusation before he has heard the accusation being made and cross-examined. Sure, the FBI should continue its background check. It should also call everyone else who may have been at this party. All of that is true. But the idea that he goes first? I want to hear from the American Civil Liberties Union. Where are they? This is the most fundamental denial of due process.
