    So, Fred, did you have an opinion? Or, are you just having fun playing with your cut and paste functions?

    If your article writer is trying to dispel all ulterior motives for her accusations he forgot the big one — the political motive of this known member of the Viginahat Brigaid to torpedo a sold conservative, gouge Trump and forestall a possible vote to revise Roe V. Wade. “Motive, Opportunity & Means” — the three elements needed...Christine Blasey Ford has them all with the advent of the #metoo movement trumping all other considerations.

    And again, even if he did do it, it should not be a factor in his confirmation.

    I am wondering about the nature of this woman’s recollection. Are these “repressed memories” only recalled in 2012, or did she consciously recall them through all the many years, just not say anything to anyone? If they are repressed memories, we have numerous histories of that species of recollection being highly untrustworthy. Several cases of teachers and kindergarten workers being railroaded into long prison terms by such “memories” later proven to be false come to mind. The purveyor of these proffered memories must be challenged with direct questioning before belief is invested. We know squat at this juncture.

    Yeah, I am a skeptical lawyer type and believe no one merely because they say something. Too much personal history here to do otherwise. If it has meaning, as this charge does, it needs to be tested directly, especially when it is as sketchy as these charges are.

    People being convicted off of accusations = Salem Witch Trials. I thought that stuff was over with a looong time ago. Then I remembered, "forget the facts, look at the seriousness of the Charge".

    What wacojoe said in a different thread is pertinent to this thread, as well. Being a longtime member of the executive branch, as was he, I can attest to the accuracy of his statement.
    There are criminal statutes to cover everything in existence. Give me the power, and I can put anyone behind bars. Whether it is exercised is up for grabs and whether it should be is another question. The discretion of bureaucrats holds you in their hands.

    What he did as a kid I can forgive, if he is now lying about it that is a far more serious issue.

    Let's add the facts..
    Last week, Christine Blasey Ford told the Washington Post that when she was 15, a drunken 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh held her down and attempted to rape her at a party. Christine Blasey Ford also told a therapist and her husband in 2012, a friend in 2017, and her Congressman a few months earlier this year.
    Nowhere in the therapists notes did she mention any names, her husband said that.


    The rest of it is nothing but speculation. He said/she said stuff. The Dems keep throwing out that the FBI should reopen an investigation, are these people stupid? The statute of limitations has run out for starters. What are they going to investigate, there was only 3 people that she said was there, and 2 of them have said it never happened. This happened so long ago what is the FBI or any law enforcement agency going to do? There is no record, no fingerprints to dust for, no rape kit to examine, no cameras to take pics......nothing. As bad as it sounds, if she was hoping for some kind of closure, she is not going to get it with accusations that have no proof. On the other side, Kavanaugh has the same options, there is simply nothing to look at, other than to lock them both in a room and let them scream it out, and still there will be no legal thing that can be done.


    Why don't these Dems realize how silly they are looking, keep a letter for 6 weeks and then pull it out of a magic hat and demand justice? Demand that the FBI, who has said it is not their job at this point to do anything more. The only one who could maybe force them to do it would be Trump...and the way the Dems and liberals have treated him and lied about him, he will never do that.



    So all we are stuck with is watching the liberals lose their minds over a fantasy, but we are used to it, as it is all they have done for 2 years. The woman says she does not have enough time to get her stuff together, jeez, she is the one that bought all of this up!! She has had 35 years to get her "facts straight", give me a break. This is nothing more than a smear campaign, just like all of the protesting during the hearings, because the Dems did not get to put Garland into office for Obama. Bunch of damn babies.

    I agree, but how can you lie about something that you do not remember doing at a party you said you did not attend? The man has led an honorable life, both personal and professional, has never even had a hint of impropriety mentioned about him until now and yet he is a sheep killing dog because somebody without any proof, evidence or witnesses says he did something?


    Sorry I am not buying this. Every single bit of this reminds me of the Lacrosse team, that was pummeled, coach railroaded out of town and the boys castigated in their community, by an overzealous corrupt lawyer trying to win an election. After all of the crap was washed off the sidewalk, the truth came out, the boys were innocent and the girl had made the whole thing up. The AG or whatever his title was was thrown out in disgrace and those boys and their coach will have to forever live with the crap they endured over a political scheme fueled by a lie.

    I agree. I should have added that to my previous posts.

    I see it has generated a whole host of different people bringing up their own stories as well. When Hilliary put her two cents in, Juanita Brodderick jumped all over her. I see the girlfriend of Keith Ellison, 2nd in command of the DNC, has also asked why the Dems have not taken her side and tossed him. She even has recordings and video and nothing but crickets about her case. We can all see what this is, it is a scam to either gain more time or just push more of their "Resist" movement. It is a disruption and the people I feel most sorry for is the wife and daughters of Mr. Kavanaugh, they have done nothing to deserve any of the hatred and treatment that the left has given to their husband and father.
