What principle? SMH


The principle that one is always innocent until proven guilty - remember that one?

I only wish I lived in Maine so I could vote for her.

That’s in the criminal justice system. Not necessarily for job interviews. Why is this so complicated for you people?


What makes it all the more disgusting was that a decent man was *treated* as a criminal by Democratic senators and ordinary liberals (like you) alike. It was a horrific display of partisanship and one that the nation won’t forget. Good for Susan Collins for having a conscience and not jumping on the witch-hunt bandwagon.

It was absolutely shameful.


Indeed, the treatment of Merrick Garland was shameful.


Indeed it was, and the Democrats responded with vitriol.

No one ever answered the question about how Kavanaugh's 6 figure debt got paid off, or who paid it.

Let's just agree to disagree. Because you either saw a credible college professor's character witness completely disregarded while a man yelled at Senators during a job interview. Or you didn't. There really isn't any middle ground on this.


LOL!

It's not complicated for me. It's the way I think we should approach any situation involving a person--whether rumors, interviews, school-related infractions of rules, possible crimes, etc. Won't be the same as a court of law, but give the benefit of the doubt. And definitely with a situation where the accuser can't provide key facts.


But the person's behavior during the job interview is immaterial to you, it seems. Somehow.


It's been repeated countless times, and the court of public opinion is clearly divided re his behavior. I'm one of the ones who thinks his response was justified. You and I will not be in agreement.


And oh so dignifed. How far we have fallen from what is dignified.


PP here. I don't expect people to respond "with dignity" when accused of rape, near rape, and almost murder without more evidence. I doubt I would either, and I'm viewed as a pretty mature, calm person.

His reaction was real and made me empathize even more with him.


Oh his anger was real, no doubt about that.

I'm a man. Not that it matters.


[The poll found 51 percent of Americans disapprove of Kavanaugh being on the Supreme Court while 41 percent approve. It also found a majority of people believed the Senate Judiciary Committee did not do enough to investigate the allegations of sexual assault by Kavanaugh. ]

[Those asked in the poll whether they would support Congress in further investigating Kavanaugh, even if it leads to an effort to remove him from the court, a majority of 53 percent said they would support another investigation. ]

This. Exactly this.

The truth is no one except the three people alleged to be in the room know what happened. Why was it that the woman's word was trashed and the man got a promotion?

I will never, ever forget.


Maybe because, the people who SHE said were present could not corroborate her story. They couldn't even remember such a party. Not even the woman who was her best friend at the time.
That little detail has a tendency to question her credibility.


Fine. On the other hand, you still think Kavanaugh has enough credibility and character for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court? You're entitled to your opinion, but remember that a majority of Americans don't share it.


Link for that assertion? Because my friends and family all feel he is eminently qualified to serve a lifetime appointment, and was treated abysmally by Democrats.

You won't hear back from pp. Her claim was a flat out lie.

Sure but other details made her more than credible. Like telling her therapist in 2012. And what would her motivation be in making up a story? To keep Kavanaugh off the bench (but of course he would just be replaced with an equally conservative judge)? Why didn't she allege something more serious like actual rape?
