Reminds me of when people though Amanda Knox was a sex murdress because she did a cartwheel when dealing with the death of her roommate. “That’s not how you act” they chanted, never for a moment reflecting on the basis for their suppositions about how one is to respond to a different situation.

I don’t know what the truth is for Kavanaugh or Ford.

I do know that you cannot divine any great insight from his anger after being accused. In either direction.


Some of us have lived through similar experiences, which we cannot describe in detail because we do not wish to be identified. We all behaved with grace under fire, because this is what upright people do, with jobs and reputation on the line. Sadly, unless it's the EXACT same accusation for the EXACT same position, you will refuse to believe this carries the same weight.

Too bad for you.




Even if what you say is true, I am not sure you can extrapolate from your N of 1.

I've been falsely accused in a very public way, and it made me ANGRY AS HELL.

Now, that doesn't mean I automatically conclude BK is innocent. Simply that very few people can relate to this situation, and postulate from how they imagine they would act. Like how they would act if their roommate was murdered in a foreign country. Foxy Knoxy.

Serena Williams is being held to a higher standard that Judge Kavanaugh.

His Alma Mater, Yale, has rejected Kavanaugh.
Harvard has rejected him.
The church has rejected him.
Native Americans have rejected him.
Lawyers are rejecting him.
Women are rejecting him.

Who supports Brett Kavanaugh?

The racist, misogynist @GOP is all Kavanaugh has left.

She agreed to supply those to the FBI, not the Senate, which is selectively leaking information. FBI chose not to accept her offer.


This should be pinned. But it won't stop the Kavanaugh fans lying here.


She agreed to supply it PROVIDED she was interviewed again.

Who the hell is she? Have you ever been in litigation? I don't think so. You don't hold back discovery subject to your own conditions. She opened the door to the evidence, and then hid it.

Activist lawyers from Fienstein made their client look like an activist. Bad move.


Discovery is reciprocal, you moron. And subject to protective orders. Let the Democrats subpoena the 100,000 withheld documents and examine Kavanaugh's buddies who supposedly owed him $200k or whatever for baseball tickets. Let them cross-examine Kavanaugh for a couple of days on his many misleading and non-responsive statements. Let them seek contempt sanctions if he fails to respond to the questions.

Yale used to be a place of honor. Now it's a place where you cannot wear a halloween costume.

Low. Very low. He will likely be confirmed. And we can all mourn the day he ruined the Supreme Court. Way to go Brett!


Here's the thing - if he were truly an upstanding, for the good-of-the-country, non-partisan guy, he would recognize that his appointment to the S.Ct. is going to undermine the institution, perhaps very significantly and for very long time, he will always have an asterisk next to his name just like Thomas (though I suppose, like Thomas, he figures he can just hang with his boot-licking Federalist society guys to make himself feel good), and his nomination is tearing this country apart. If he weren't out for anyone but himself, he would withdraw for those reasons. But, Exhibit A - Brett himself - establishes that he is only out for himself and to hell with the country.


Yes, this! It’s not just the Democrats calling for him to withdraw. It’s the National Council of Churches, 650+ law professors, editorial boards, colleagues of his, and those who until supported him. Plus a former SC Justice.


It is over 2300 law professors now, just FWIW.



Law professors are worth NADA. Bunch of liberal idiots most of whom have never practiced the discipline they teach -- UNLIKE medical professors who actually have to know how to practice the trade they teach.


And remember, at least some of these law professors were responsible for the instruction of Brett Kavanaugh. Liberals should at least have mixed feelings about the opinions of such professors.

If they can produce a Brett Kavanaugh, who also taught at Harvard, then they are not a bunch of liberal idiots who should be dismissed out of hand.


You can't have it both ways, Sparky. Either he's your poster boy for all that is good and decent or he is a product of liberal idiots. Get your talking points straight.

A SCOTUS should *never* lie under oath. The truly sad part about this is that if he had not lied about his drinking (which we all would have chalked up to as typical highschool/college behavior), we would be more likely to believe him about the Ford assault claims.

2) BK was clearly partisan when it mattered. Before the SJC, televised before the nation, he made clearly biased claims about the Democratic Party and the Clintons.


To be honest, I am more concerned about his finances, which he also lied about. Why isn't anyone doing a deep dive into this? He is clearly compromised.


Don't worry someone is working on this now. It took the NYT over a year for the trump investigation. Within a year, at least ten books will be published about kavanaugh. And all his lies.

Produced BK? You don't know people like him. His brain is wired for law. He could have read it on his own from books.

Would suspect that is not the case. There is likely a reason they did not release them.

Brett Kavanaugh WSJ Op-ed Oct 4, 2018:
Trust me, how I behaved during that testimony is not who I am, and I would not be that way on the Supreme Court.

President Donald J. Trump, Sept 27, 2018:
"Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him."


Kavanaugh supporters care to discuss?


He’s a person who fights for what he knows is right. Why is that so hard to understand?


1) Kavanaugh: the person at the hearing is not who I am.

2) Trump: the person at the hearing is exactly who he is and that’s why I nominated him.

3) Discuss



He stated it pretty clearly in his piece.
As a judge, he is even-tempered and unbiased.
As a father and husband who is wrongly accused of heinous acts, he will aggressively defend HIMSELF against such attacks.

Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.


I thought it was Kavanaugh the judge who was being grilled on capitol hill.


+1. If Kavanaugh the Judge was incapable of showing up that day, how do we know akavanaugh the Judge can show up at SCOTUS when something else bad is happening in his life. Which it will. Because people get sick and die, marital problems happen and life throws shit at you, fair or not. How do we know Kavanaugh the Judge shows up?

+1 I have been falsely accused twice. I stayed calm both times. I was eager to talk to investigators since the facts were on my side. The people who lied about me acted like Kavanaugh.

I am the PP on anger of the accused, and I totally agree with that. It's really not probative either way. We agree on something! Good.
