Oooooh, shocker that the former chief speechwriter for George W. Bush, now working for Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper, loves his Brett Kavanaugh. |

Unfortunately today these types of discussions can never be ended Neither side would even remotely consider any counter facts to their beliefs because facts simply don't matter anymore. People just say and write whatever they want and there are no consequences for it. So, I am resigned to the new world order of let's just believe what we want to because that way, I don't have to think very hard.
Seriously, for those of you old enough to remember, if the World Wide News was still in business, they would likely have a Kavanaugh story about him sexually assaulting aliens or that he grew up in a cave with bat boy. And literally, people would believe it. |

No Mea Culpa from the NYT, but the "correction" makes everything better.

' Kavanaugh is not a good person regardless of the sexual assault allegations. God is not waiting to welcome Brett. |

My favorite paragraph from this piece: "Meanwhile, the only person in this mess who has never had to retract, dissemble, correct, alter, backtrack, revise, clarify, or further explain his remarks is Brett Kavanaugh, whose denials have never been contradicted by the facts, and who has a multitude of witnesses who back him up." |

Oh, please. You must be an atheist. No God-fearing person would make such a stupid statement. |

The GOP and their supporters have no shame. They deny even a hearing to Garland under false pretenses and then have shoved through justices that are so blatantly partisan. The idea that anyone on the right would criticize Democrats of trying to influence Kavanaugh's opinions when the GOP already bought and paid for them is ridiculous. GOP = corruption personified. And then they go and project their sins on to the Democrats. Disgusting. |

Brett will never repent and the people that support people like him won't either. |

He literally perjured himself. He did have to backtrack when even his handlers said he was being ridiculously aggressive with Klobuchar. The only reason he hasn’t to backtrack more meaningfully is because the GOP is completely corrupt. |

Don't know her, but read her book. Her book quotes real people with names. These NYT reporters are spinning like tops today. It's not a good look. |

Let's look at how this investigation went. The FBI contacts Ramirez. She tells the investigators what she remembers happening, admits that she had been drinking, and confesses that she was not 100% sure it was him but after working with her attorneys for 6 days, she is more confident. She then provides names of people who can corroborate. They contact some of her so-called witnesses, but none of them can corroborate her story. Some were not even at the so-called party. Should they have continued contacting, oh, I don't know, anyone listed in the yearbook until the list is exhausted? Or, do investigators, after meeting with the so-called victim and the people SHE says can verify her story, realize that there is no story there to verify? Ramirez seemed a bit reluctant to tell her story....... This from the Senate investigation report: In a September 23, 2018, story published in the New Yorker, Deborah Ramirez, who attended Yale at the same time as Justice Kavanaugh, alleged that he “exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”39 Almost immediately after its publication, the New York Times posted a story that said its staff had interviewed several dozen people but could find no one to corroborate Ramirez’s account or anyone with firsthand knowledge of the alleged event.40 The Times also reported that Ramirez, in effort to refresh her recollection, “contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the episode and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”41 Hours after the New Yorker published the story, the Committee contacted Ramirez’s attorney. According to the article, Ramirez had investigated her claims and the Committee asked for any evidence—including statements from witnesses—that she had gathered to support her allegations. Through her attorney, she refused each of the Committee’s seven requests for such material.42 The Committee also asked her to either speak to Committee investigators or to provide a written statement directly to the Committee, to which she also refused. Ultimately, her attorneys agreed only to contact the FBI to demand that she be included in the supplemental background investigation. The FBI reportedly interviewed Ramirez on Sunday, September 30, 2018.43 Despite the refusal of Ramirez’s legal team to assist the Committee in its investigation, Committee investigators attempted to investigate her claims to the greatest extent possible, and interviewed seven witnesses regarding the allegation. They included Justice Kavanaugh’s former roommate at Yale, James Roche, several of his college classmates, and classmates and friends associated with Ramirez. Committee investigators also reviewed documents submitted by several former Yale classmates. The Committee also reviewed public statements from three other Yale classmates but found them immaterial because the speakers had no knowledge of the event. Finally, Committee investigators interviewed Justice Kavanaugh in a transcribed phone call on September 25. He unequivocally denied that the alleged incident ever took place. |
