What Clarence Thomas or Bork went through don’t hold a candle to this bullshit.

ok.  fair enough.  In going to the next step, there is not one shred of evidence to prove her evidence occurred, nor one shred of evidence that can be put up as a way to "disprove" her evidence, i.e. nothing tangible that can be put up in order to provide an alibi.  However, Kavanaugh does have evidence that says her story didn't happen.  Basically, it is he said - 3, she said - 1.  With no further evidence that can corroborate her story, it's pretty hard to believe this is anything more than an attempt to delay the SC being stacked against the left for a good while.  If you start from a place of innocent until proven otherwise, this story is nothing but a political stunt.  The fall out may be we have discovered Kavanaugh may lack the ability to make good decisions under pressure, and perhaps that disqualifies him.  Further, I wouldn't support a guy for SC who has perjured himself.  I also wouldn't support a president sworn to uphold the laws of the land who has perjured himself, but I know a damn good number of those bringing up perjury  in this thread do not feel the same.    and we know house democrats certainly do not think perjury is a big deal when it comes to lying about being a sexual predator.  

1. As others, including myself, keep reminding some of y'all, this woman testified under oath, passed a polygraph test, and made her life extremely public (she has had to move due to death threats) over this event. She is either a sick sadist and the world's greatest liar, or she is telling something very truthful.

2. Again, AS OTHERS KEEP POINTING OUT, even if Kavanaugh didn't do something his behavior during all of this including his blatant partisan whining shows that he is not fit to serve.

 

There are a couple dozen of these pieces of shit that The Federalist Society churns out every year, you can easily appoint another judge that doesn't have the baggage that will still fully gut Roe v. Wade and other safety net and social programs which will get your micro-penis hard. Why is your evil party of Racists and Rapists (BUT HILLARY BILL CLINTONS REEEE) wanting to die on this hill?

He “lied” under oath because his definition of slang terms boof and devil’s were different than many others. Also, he claims he never was black out drunk. I’m sure he’d agree that he’d gotten woozy before. That again is SUBJECTIVE motherfuckers. 

Actually he also lied about it being legal to drink when he was 18...spoiler, it wasn't.

But to your point, can you image the shock he must have felt when, during the confirmation, he found out the innocent terms he and his crew independently coined for farting and playing quarters were used by every other teenager in America during the early to mid-80's to mean anal sex and threeways?  What are the chances?

No, he lied because everyone knows his definition isn't different. That isn't subjective. And his own fucking emails admit that he has been blackout before. I don't really care about that, but I do care that he lied about it.

find someone who has "led an exemplary" life by an opposing party's political standards.  Your search will be a long and tedious one.  No one is perfect.  By most counts Kavanaugh has led a pretty decent life, and has been a success in his profession where you agree with his ideology or not.  

I mean, if you look up center right in the dictionary, you basically get my picture. And I think Kavanaugh is woefully unqualified and has lead a reprehensible life. It's nothing to do with party, this guy is just a heel.

Even if you dismiss those obvious lies, there are many more in the wings, some provable on that very fucking day.  (His claim he didn't watch Ford's testimony when WaPo tweeted the very fact that he WAS watching her, all before he stepped in the room . . . for starters.)

That's not untrue, but it's also not evidence that he suppressed his inner angry black man.

The ability to stay calm in the face of adversity is by any measure a positive characteristic, even if there is a human impulse to act out.  Clarity of thought and purpose should be rewarded.

In my opinion, if he is truly innocent, he would have requested a full FBI investigation when asked by the committee.  The fact that he didn't shows me he knows she's telling the truth.  In that case, he should have owned up to it, citing his youth and drinking, and talk about how, like all of us, he is not the man he was 30+ years ago.  That would have made it a non issue for me.  I'd still would have disagreed with many of his legal opinions, but that's not a disqualifier for SCOTUS...lying is, or at least should be.

He doesn't even need to be that specific.  Here's how a reasonable person answers honestly.

"Yes, I over consumed from time to time while in college.  I'm not proud of it, but it happened."

"Those terms are sexual innuendo.  I'd rather not be specific.  Needless to say, I'm embarrassed that I would use them in my yearbook back then.   I've matured significantly since then."

"I don't justify my behavior as a young man.  All I can say is that I've matured over the years and am not that person today."

And if he's really innocent.  "I would never have done what Ms. Ford alleges I did.  I have no way of entering her mind, and she may very well have experienced those horrendous events, but I can say unequivocally it was not me who did that to her."

 

But nope.  Just yell like a petulant bitch and rail on the Clintons.  Fucking despicable person.  Overly privileged elitist.  Pure political hack.

I think the "lacking in judicial temperment"  is starting to feel like the number one reason for voting no.  Wacky Clinton comments were just bizarre.  The only reason people aren't making a bigger deal about them is that Trump and his followers have inoculated us against the crazy.

 Interview the potential witnesses to assault.  The idea is to find witnesses to assault, not witnesses to some other fact, like heavy drinking.

You are dreaming if you think the GOP will allow an investigation which chases every little bit of dirt somebody has on Kavanaugh.

There are two serious allegations of sexual misconduct.  "Witnesses" to those incidents will be interviewed.

Negged for perpetuating distortions and obfuscating.

Ford's friend says that she does not remember the party but that she believes Dr. Ford.

Another witness, Mark Judge, is an alleged accomplice who refuses to face investigators. Judge also claims he has anxiety about public speaking even though his agent shows him as available for public speaking engagements. 

Ford's testimony was not a spectacle. It was a sober interview where she answered forthrightly about what she recalls and took pains to correct accounts that she could not verify. There is no known motive for Ford to lie.
