Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation Thread

[horncyclist 1387]

Of course not.  Just another "white man who didn't do anything worse than rape/murder being taken down by some attention-seeking whore."

* attempted rape/murder. To be fair.

 Like they did for Al Franken and Anthony Weiner right? And Elliot Sptizer?    

 You know you have little wiggle room to stand on when you go to the tired and failed 'bothsides!" attempt to deflect.    It is difficult to see the white knight in shiny armor when you have eyes caked with shit.

Spitzer and Weiner aren't comparable.  Spitzer was caught with whores on a wiretap and we are all aware of the Weiner texts. Franken is closer although there was photographic evidence of his boorish behavior and allegations from 10 women.

Kavanaugh denies the allegations and there is no evidence other than the allegation itself.

The point was how the democrats didn’t run to defend the bad actors but instead sought to remove them as prominent members/ or future leaders within the party. So once again the bothsideser fail to grasp reality.

I was a “drunken frat boy” back in the day, I’d like to think that I’ve matured in the ensuing 40 years.  
I don’t see how that is a disqualifier. 
Should all of the GDI’s be disqualified because they were “hippie dope smokers” back then?
I don’t think so. 
This Supreme Court thing seems especially stupid to me. 
I’m glad I’m not up for a Supreme Court justice position  I absolutely tried to cop a feel on a gal that wasn’t necessarily into it back in 1976. She pushed my hand away and we left it at that. 
I never would have imagined that could have disqualified me from any kind of a job 40 years in the future.
Obviously times have changed. It is still stupid  
 

Totally dude. I recall all my attempts to hold down women and cover their mouths so their screaming wouldn’t interrupt my buzz as I tried to fuck them with my buds. Oh wait.... no I don’t.

LOL some TV personality to you is evil personified. What a fucking joke. Khamenei and Rouhani are evil personified. She’d be worth watching if she actually played into her role as the evil, conservative Fox News alum hot blonde instead of running from it. She’s like Brett Stephens at the Times.

Put your hand over her mouth, turn the music up loud and have your buddy man the door while you force yourself on her and your ass belongs in jail, period. Pay the fuck attention.

 

Lie under oath about jizz on a dress you get impeached. This asshole lied about involvement in the politicalization of the court when he was with GW and vetting judicial candidates. It’s arguable that sexual indiscretions (Clinton) are germane to POTUS it’s undebatable that impartiality is paramount to the job of SCOTUS. Both perjured themselves and one about the core job requirement.

 

Read the fucking 10 commandments y’all demand be hung on every public space from schools to oh I don’t know.... COURT HOUSES?

 

And, and, and.... the woman apparently talked about the incident with her therapist years ago and those papers may come out. She’s willing to testify and came forward.

 

You’re god damned right it happened and he’s lucky the statute has run and she was scared of him. PTL for PTSD. Hallelujah!!

 

Fuck this guy. Franken was sunk and I reluctantly agreed and so should this guy but this one is easy.

 

No fucking more.

Franken may have survived the photo.  He was sunk by the subsequent similar allegations of 8 other women.  These additional allegations were also he said/she said issues, which is why I characterized the Franken incident as more similar to the Kavanaugh situation.  If one more women comes forward with allegations against Kavanaugh, he is done.

I dont think that you even need another accusation of sexual assault.  I think that one person who attended this party says "he was shitfaced at this party and the girl was also present" and he is done.

DC is a cesspool. The Democrats know how important the stakes are. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if this was complete bullshit or she misremembered who was on top of her if that really happened. Maybe she thinks she is being a valiant warrior in the “Resistance”. There WAS someone in the room with them. He says it never happened. Flimsy allegation. Let’s see if she has more to say when she testifies. I admit that I’m biased and want Kavanaugh rammed through to have a conservative majority on the court.

Two things have to be true here:

1. She was assaulted.
2. It was him.


You’ll be hard pressed to argue against 1. Battle half over.

If he was present at the party and drunk plus her prominent DC type comment coupled with his known lies thus far and you know what? That’s a heaping shit ton of circumstantial evidence.

I agree with all of this.  Whatever happened at that party, left a mark on her. She recalled the event decades later in counseling with her husband, so it apparently impacted her relationships with men on some level. Something happened. A few decades removed from a traumatic event can surely shape the recall in ways, but something happened. You dont have to corroborate teh assault imo, place Kavanaugh there and its more than enough to conclude outside of a court of law that he assaulted her. 

[SubliminalHorn 6786]

All iconoclast cares about it getting a conservative on the court. He doesn’t care what kind of past they have or if they are rapey. He’s said so himself. The most important thing in the whole wide world is getting control of SCOTUS.

This is where the pragmatic gop team in DC will end up as well.  They don’t personally care about kavanaugh.  If they drop him soon, they still have time to find a replacement before a potential Dem takeover in January. Drag this out, and they may not have time.

All of this. But I would say in a court of law for civil liability it may be enough.

 

It actually meets a “preponderance of the evidence” standard which has civil ramifications, it (probably) does not meet the “beyond all reasonable doubt” standard for criminal implications.

 

This isn’t a criminal case though.

[Fozzz 152]

I think Kavanaugh's denial of the attempted rape would be more credible if he wasn't lying about everything else.

Quote

Sanai told The Intercept that at least two federal employees had information to provide the committee about Kavanaugh, including one who spoke directly with Kavanaugh about it. Sanai said that he did not hold Kavanaugh responsible for Kozinski’s behavior, but rather that his claim of ignorance was not credible and could be contradicted by witnesses. Kavanaugh’s credibility has become a central issue in his confirmation, as he has “unequivocally” denied allegations that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford when both were in high school.

Apart from interviewing witnesses, Sanai also suggested that the Judiciary Committee “subpoena all intra Court emails and messages between Kavanaugh and Kozinski and all emails to and from Kozinski with links to his website.”

That and you know, you're spot on in your analysis.

Girls remember shit.  Detaily shit.  My wife remembers that one time I gave her the nasty side-eye ten years ago.  And they especially remember who threw them down, climbed on top of them and covered their mouth so screams couldn't be heard during their formative years.

Getting told "no" while letting the fingers do the walking up the legs of your high school flame is one thing, but this is completely different.

Last I read on this board a week or so ago, by smarter people than me (I think it was longhornmatt or brickhorn), people were not sure that he commited perjury.

Anastasis is absolutely correct here.  How is that insane in any way?   This is not a criminal trial this is a lifetime  appointment for the SC.  The burden of proof is not anywhere near as high nor does it require a 12 person unanimous decision.  She is very credible.  He has denied being even at the party.  Another person says he was there and he is ABSOLUTELY not qualified to by appointed.
