I applaud them for being willing to put their names out in the public sphere. Not hide behind some anonymous claim.
There is no proof of this claim by an anonymous person who wishes to remain anonymous. No evidence. No one has corroborated it.

These 65 women went public. Good for them.

He was 17 and the alleged behavior, while regrettable, stops well short of what reasonably ought to derail a nomination some 35 years later. If you disagree, please detail all the work you’ve been doing over the years to eliminate protections for juveniles to ensure minors are treated as adults by the judicial system.

It appears that the 65 women organized to write this letter unprompted.
Women tend to do that, you know. And, they organized after these baseless allegations came out.

Were any of them in the room when this happened? No?

Then they have no basis to discuss this. None.

And Britt Hume's daughter, Britt of Fox News and Virginia of the RNC, ya, no.

Well the two other alleged witnesses to the event have both said it didn’t happen. So it’s two witnesses to one. If she has no over evidence, it’s case closed.

I guess all these Republicans think it's ok to grab her by the pussy.

Well, let's see what women voters think about that. I think, they will not like it.

LOL. She even redacted her name from the letter to the FBI? So it’s literally impossible for this allegation to even be investigated. So why are we wasting our time on it? Do democrats really want a nominee to withdraw based on an allegation which won’t even be described to him with enough detail to rebut it?

Washington, DC—Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the senior member and former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement in response to reports of accusations made against Brett Kavanaugh, nominee for the United States Supreme Court:

“Brett Kavanaugh has done everything that’s been asked of him. He’s complied with six background checks over the last 25 years that have included interviews with friends, families, and even acquaintances, none of which have ever revealed an issue with his character. After over 30 hours of public hearing, his judicial record, qualifications, and understanding of the law stood unimpeachable. He participated in a closed hearing where Judiciary Committee members could ask any question they wanted. He answered more written questions than every previous Supreme Court nominee combined.

Judge Kavanaugh has had his words distorted and manipulated. He has been accused of having gambling problems, having financial problems, being hostile towards groups that he has actively fought for, and having bad taste in food. And he has answered questions fully and professionally, in a confirmation timeframe well within the norm for Supreme Court nominations.

I do not intend to allow Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to be stalled because of an 11th hour accusation that Democrats did not see fit to raise for over a month. The Senator in the best position to determine the credibility of these accusations made the conscious decision not to take action on them, and the authorities to whom the accusations have been referred have decided not to take action either. Judge Kavanaugh has denied these accusations categorically, the only other potential witness has no recollection of the alleged event, and now 65 women who knew Brett in high school have come forward as witnesses of his strong character.

Every accuser deserves to be heard. But a process of verification is also necessary. In this case, the accusations were made in a private letter, which has been misrepresented in a number of media stories, from an accuser who has declined to go public and has asked for privacy. The letter sent to investigators has had her name redacted, meaning no further investigation could take place. The claims are wholly unverifiable, and come at the tail-end of a process that was already marred by ugly innuendo, dishonesty, and the nastiest form of our politics. The American people deserve much better from the Senate as an institution.”

With all due respect, Senator, no he hasn't. There are questions about finances that have been partially, but not fully answered, and there are hundreds of thousands of documents that are being wrongfully withheld from the American public as it relates to this nomination. Release the documents and give time for proper vetting of a nomination to the highest court in our land. Anything short of this does a disservice to the Court and to Judge Kavanaugh.

You have to admit, it does make you think twice though. Especially topped off with his spending more time talking about coaching than answering questions and surrounding himself with little Catholic school girls.

No, only you have to admit that, in your mind, a teenager (if it were true) trying to have a sexual encounter with another teenager is equivalent to being a pedophile.

I am a lawyer. And, the system is not fair if white boys get off for what black boys go to jail for. Plain and simple. Is that too hard a concept for your trumpian mind?

As a lawyer, you, of all people, should understand the concept of “getting off for” an offense.
The person making these claims never filed a complaint. So, tell us, counselor, what is there for this white boy to get off for?

Attempting to rape someone is not “regrettable.” Don’t you think his victim would still be affected after 35 years? I am sure there are plenty of men who made it through their teenage years without attempting to rape anybody. The question is whether any of them are Republicans.

I am a different pp and a lawyer as well. Judge Kavanaugh is not being prosecuted for this matter. The question is whether he should be given a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court if these allegations are credible. My answer would be no.

Orrin Hatch was one of Clarence Thomas' chief defenders. He's nothing if not consistent in his support of sexual predators.

I say no, they are not.

DP. You don't even want to bother to look beyond the allegation, so your findings are not credible.
