He speaks about listening to both sides, but Brian Hundley, a dentist killed by DC cops isn't here to speak his side; Kavanaugh dismissed the conviction of the involved officer

I don't know the story, but maybe the evidence against them wasn't there.

Due process? I am an attorney. I know who Garland is.

More importantly, I want a respected Supreme Court. The more Judge Kavanaugh drags this on, the worse it is. He should have honorably withdrawn his name a week ago.

What was 1980 fake Latin Catholic girls' speak if they were sexually promiscuous?

Wouldn't know. I was a virgin and could produce a witness (my husband) to that effect if people wrongly accused me of sexual assault in HS. Kav claims he was a virgin "for many years" after HS. Can't wait to see if the ladies he knew in HS and early college agree.

The problem here is not sex, the problem is lies. He could have said he partied as a teen and did things he wasn't proud of, even as he denied assault. Instead his pretense of having been a relatively innocent angel is being seriously undermined by the weight of the overall evidence.

You didn’t see his interview yesterday, did you? Because, he pretty much said exactly that.

No he didn’t. He went full teetotaling virgin. He’s so full of shit.

Cut him some slack. You gotta remember he grew up in “the murder capital of the world” — Bethesda.

It's really, really weird of him to think that being or not being a virgin has anything to do with whether he assaulted women.

This! Do you really want a judge on the Supreme Court that says sexual assault has to be penetration!? What about a child who is fondled by an adult? I guess that’s not sexual assault then in his eyes Really this is a judge you want on our supreme court? He’s not qualified.

he has never said this.
But, go on with your lies. It’s what this site seems to thrive on.

So they are slut shaming this girl. Call a spade a spade.

Somehow that jingle strikes a nerve in me harder than the sexual assaults. Completely gratuitous cruelty.

Wait. I'm confused. So Kavanaugh didn't write the poem, but another boy did? This seems more a criticism of the culture at GP in general.

Maybe, but he was actively participating in that culture -- throwing the Renate Alumnius item in his yearbook biography. It just makes me really sad that they were talking about this poor girl that way. I can't say it's entirely rational. Objectively, pinning a woman down and covering her mouth while you grope her and shoving your dick in a drunk woman's face are both worse than this Renate thing. And yet the Renate taunting, even if done behind her back (perhaps moreso done behind her back) makes me angrier than hearing about the assaults.

Lots of peer pressure back in high school. Even if he had poor judgment and maturity as a teen, I don't think we should go back that far. People change. We are setting a dangerous precedent by examine obnoxious high school behavior in a nominee 40 years later.

(That's the teasing. If it is proven that he actually assaulted someone, that's different.)

Teasing? The word you are searching for is slut shaming.

He never said sexual assault requires penetration. He was merely, and humiliatingly so, saying he was inexperienced because he was focused on being #1 in his class.

DP, he didn't say it, but it is the implication, even if you choose not to see it that way.

He implied it. “I was an innocent virgin” therefore I couldn’t have sexually assaulted anyone.

One wonders if he is going down Clinton territory, finely parsing the meaning of "sex".

Kavanaugh drags this on?
He was ready to testify the day after the allegations from Ford came out. SHE and her attorneys are the ones who have dragged this on. How quickly you forget.

Why in the hell should he withdraw when he is innocent of these allegations?
Would you encourage a client to “plead guilty” if he/she is innocent?

Due process is a legal term. It has nothing to do with a hiring decision.

No. He didn’t. You, again, are making $hit up. He said he was not guilty of any kind of sexual assault. He happened to add that he had not even had intercourse until well after college.

No, the PP you are talking to raises a good point. To defend himself against accusations of groping and exposing himself, Kavanaugh responds with his virginity. It does suggest a serious disconnect in his mind if he cannot grasp that sexual assault and molestation can take many forms, regardless of virginity or lack thereof.

What in the world does that have to do with sexual assault allegations?

Except he is lying about it in 2018. I like my Supreme Court Justices not to be liars.

Gorsuch went to the same high school around the same time and didn't have these issues.

See the difference?

Who poured through his yearbook at the time? Or was his yearbook after the great yearbook cleanup at GP another poster alluded to.
