Kavanaugh's SC Confirmation Hearings

Hugh Hewitt, talk show host and lawyer, tweeted that the ABA was a liberal advocacy organization. I'd say they lean left.

I agree with Hugh. I quit them a long time ago.

Initially I tried persuading them to not take political positions, I even took the time to write some long letters to them. But then I just gave up. These folks do not listen to reason. They never really respond well to facts, logic and reason at all. I suspect it is because they are simply incapable. It's just not how their brains work. Yet they have infested just about every aspect of American life, even the NFL these last couple years -- what is more "toxically male" than pro football? They got the armed forces (aka 'taxpayers") to pay for sex changes surgeries. They bought off AARP on Obamacare (still would like to see who got rich off that). They are working on the NRA now.

I gotta say this makes me look back on carefree times as a high school senior and college students when I and others drank to excess and exhibited immature and sometimes boorish behavior. I remember a few details of a few parties, but I'd hate to have to 30 years later defend myself of my friends under oath. Memory is a funny thing. I and others sometimes vividly remember events, then look at pictures and records and not everything lines up. Kinda like a mixed up box of pieces from 3 or 4 puzzles. There is no prosecutable offense here and I suspect had the young woman gone to police 30 years ago, there would have been none.

I don't get how Alaska is not more conservative and holds Murkowski accountable.

It's a conservative state, but it likes pork more than it likes conservatism. The Murkowski family has delivered that pork for decades. They also like seniority.

I don't want it to end in a deadlock. I want this **** show discredited. I want the GOP unified, and I want Donnelly and Manchin to vote for him. That would take serious balls on their part, and if they do it, I want McConnell to tell them they're too good for their party and encourage them to switch parties even if it means offering them committee chairmanships. After this, I think they'd do it. They're wildly too conservative and too decent for party.
 
I have to admit the accuser has the "fragile sincere me " down pat.
Yet more crap keeps coming out. The accuser who kept going to alleged gang raping parties is tied to the Ford accuser
and now records show that her sob that Kavanagh made her so claustrophobic she needed a second front door.
but here Hmmmm?

BREAKING: Palo Alto bldg permit records raise questions about Ford's testimony she completed an “extensive remodel” of home in 2012 & that this was seminal event that led her down path to coming out against Kavanaugh b/c she needed to add an escape door. Permit was issued in 2008

Surely they know this would come out but were they hoping the damage would have been done.

That's probably true for all of us. There have been several scientific studies that have shown how unreliable eyewitness accounts can be. Even more so if the event in question involved trauma. For Ford, it is possible she is convinced her version of the story is true, yet still be incorrect. If so, then there was no perjury on her part. Or that is how I would argue it if I were representing her.

Think about the wrongful convictions which have been subsequently overturned by scientific evidence (DNA testing). The majority of these are rape cases. How did they get those convictions? With eyewitness testimony. Usually it was the victim herself who identified the guy. And she did so in a manner that convinced a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. The studies suggest the these type of victims would actually have the worst memory because of the extra trauma involved in.

I think Ford should have been questioned about this very area at the hearing. She is an expert in the field (has a Phd). It would have been easy to set her up with softball questions allowing her ego to take over and show off as an expert. Then turn her answers around on her by applying them to her own case. Any experienced trial attorney could have done this. Although I must also admit that being limited to those 5m increments would have made it a challenge for anyone.

It hasn't been confirmed that she was the leaker, but Ford went to Anna Eschoo, who took the matter to Feinstein. Eschoo, Feinstein, and Ford were the only ones who knew about it. The leak basically had to come from one of them or from someone who works for them. It really doesn't matter who exactly picked up the phone and called the Washington Post.

She looks guilty. But maybe that is just the trauma she inflicts skewing my memory?
 
The American Bar Association is a joke that serves no useful purpose as far as I have been able to tell in my time as an attorney. After reading their magazine a few times, supporting leftist causes seems to be about all that they do.

Good stuff. I still see things in every day life that will remind me of a Seinfeld episode. The other day, at a Mexican food place, a bunch of tortilla chips were stuck together in a fold to form one humongous chip. I took a pic of it and texted it around, saying it was the chip equivalent of George Constanza's wallet. Everyone in the text group got it.

So the FBI has investigated Kavanaugh SIX ,6, times
so who exactly could the FBI investigate now? The 4 people the accuser says were there? All who have said that "event" did not happen.
 
No speaky

There is some degree of schadenfreude watching when bad people trying to do bad things fail. And then they throw a temper tantrum over it. With these people, either they get their way or they are willing to drive our little country off a cliff. It's like they are fully grown spoiled children.

Exactly, but as has been said, it is yet another delay tactic and those jerk off Senators know it. Had Kavanaugh responded in the affirmative to an FBI investigation, it would be a disaster for the Republicans. It would give the Dems and media fire, in their distorted minds, to push for more delays. It would stoke the fir of the "Old, white men" pushing this through without yet another proper investigation.
The FBI could "investigate" this in about half a day probably but we all know it would take more than a month or so. Exactly what the Dems want.
 
The Mark Judge person submitted another statement, after being called out by Dems at the hearings --

"Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein,

As I stated in my attorney, Barbara Van Gelder's September 18, 2018, letter, I did not ask to beinvolved in this matter nor did anyone ask me to be involved.

We have told the Committee that I do not want to comment about these events publicly. As a recovering alcoholic and a cancer survivor, I have struggled with depression and anxiety. As a result, I avoid public speaking.

Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school, but we have not spoken directly in several years. I do not recall the events described by Dr. Ford in her testimony before the US Senate Judiciary Committee today. I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.

I am knowingly submitting this letter under penalty of felony."

Signed Mark Judge​
 
I'm getting so damn tired of media idiots questioning Kavanaugh's temperament because he was angry in his testimony. Yeah, he acted angry and belligerent. It was totally inappropriate - unless he's innocent. Then it was perfectly reasonable.

There is a reason Mark Judge is hiding nor was subpeoned. He's a loose cannon. Based on Judge's own writings, he'd dispel the Kavanaugh as a choir boy myth were he forced to testify.

Kavanaugh will get to the Supreme Court.

Conservatives never cared whether Ford's story was accurate or not. Just remember "Boys will be boys" should be what y'all tell your daughters when they expose their next #MeToo moment. Defeating those evil liberals was more important.
