After Anita Hill, why should she? Not the way that Hill was treated, but the fact that Thomas was confirmed anyway. What difference will Ford make? It is up to Kavanaugh to respond. He's the nominee.

Not how it works for this. You go under the bright lights.

lol She did, she has. Her name is mud now.

How so? She has not appeared at a hearing yet. She has been lionized by countless liberals as a feminist hero of unimpeachable integrity. Get to the hearing!

He was lying, leaking, underhanded GOP hack for Ken Starr.
His financial statement is sketchy (parents erased debts...but debts for what?)
He is dissemblng, smirking and sneering his way to SCOTUS.

What do those Yale designations indicate for us non ivy peons?

DKE is underground, renegade, unruly fraternity at Yale....Delta Kappa Epsilon. Often suspended, always under allegations of inappropriate behavior to women and minorities. Decades of misconduct. Known for roaming campus and chanting "No means yes, yes means anal!"

Trust and Courage is an unofficial secret society. For guys who didn't make the real societies such as Skull & Bones, Wolf's Head, Scroll & Key. T&C was established when many of the formerly all-male societies admitted women. T&C just another drunken excuse to get together as a he-man, woman-hating confederate of dunces.

Kavanaugh would fit right in, and indeed did, at both DKE and T&C.

Uggg. Can imagine the whole scene. Really. This guy in 2018?

If she told any of her friends of the event previously, she probably told them in confidence. Coming forward without her direction will 1) open them up to similar harassment from the media and Senate, and 2) be going against Ford's confidence.

Don't be silly. Hasn't Ford already encouraged them to speak up in her defense?

She lives in Palo Alto. Perhaps she's moved on from those days.

I grew up at another state, and I don't keep in touch with a single person from my independent high school at this point (nothing against them or that school... my friend network is just based on college, graduate school and work now).

People really seem desperate to want to attack the accuser over trite bullsh**. No wonder women don't want to come forward in these situations.

This isn't being taken as an investigation.

It's not an investigation. It's a confirmation hearing. Really, Ford doesn't even need to be there. Her letter is enough. All Kavanaugh needs to do is convince people that he's not a liar. Somehow.

By lying.

+1. There are multiple instances of perjury both in these hearings and his confirmation hearings for his current position. His third sentence to the American people as a SCOTUS nominee was a lie. “No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a supreme court nomination.” HA!

Get some new meds. At least a better therapist.

And if I spoke to my therapist about this, and 6 years later my assailant ran for office and I came forward, would you believe me?

Go to hell.

You deserve peace in your life. Continued hate towards men (beyond the criminal) will consume you. Other threads have recommendations for good therapists, but let's try to stay on topic here, and share our personal traumas in more appropriate forums.

No. People here are claiming that because Ford doesn't remember some of the details of her account, that she is lying.

The personal stories matter here, because they illustrate that people can be telling the truth about their assaults and not remember all of the details.

Again, you deserve peace and calm in your personal life. I wish you all the best.

DP. Somehow, this doesn't exactly come across as sincere.

We deserve better then BK is what we all deserve.

Why won't the White House authorize the FBI to investigate this issue?

What are they trying to hide?

[Anonymous]

Move it along, have the hearing and vote, yay or nay. Should take a week, tops, to investigate. I sense some hemming and hawing from her camp. Have at it.

There isn't time to confirm anyone before the midterms. After that, we'll all have to see.

But I expect that Kavanaugh will withdraw, probably before Monday. If he waits until after Monday to withdraw, that ups the chances of his removal from his current position.

There’s plenty of time. But the nominee will not be Hardiman.

There actually isn’t plenty of time — Mueller and midterms are both on the horizon.

You’re right, always possible Trump once again picks the worse possible candidate.

How does Mueller affect anything? During the lame duck session, Trump will be President, and McConnell will still control the Senate. It doesn't matter what happens with Mueller because even if Republicans turn against Trump, they are not going to turn against the Federalist Society.

Ouch.

Mark Judge and BK exchanged questions directed at each other in their respective GP yearbook profiles.

"Have you boofed yet?"

Boof = slang for anal sex

Ford wasn't the one who delayed the vote. Don't blame her for that. It was Grassley, pushed by senators, who has delayed the vote. Blame him.
