Democrats on the CommitteeDude61 said:
Yes, evidence matters. All Ford's named witnesses denied the party happened, or even know Kavanaugh. Signed statements under penalty of felony. What does Ford have?SarkFanSixtyNine said:
Doesn't matter. Women will believe her.Dude61 said:Ford believes Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Kavanaugh believes he didn't. Only one has any corroborating evidence for their claims, and it isn't Ford.

The republicans should have callously dumped him and moved to plan B while working to clear him behind the scenes.
I don't think he's helping himself here because I'm someone who completely believes him and feels very bad for him yet I'm finding his display off-putting and pitiful.

So far, Democrats have established, beyond any doubt, that a 17 year old boy drank beer and had vulgar humor 35 years ago.

Brett Kavanaugh is so earnest and powerful that the Democrats are trying to convince him that he's an alcoholic.
They have nothing. -
I'd respect him more if he was an alcoholic.Dude61 said:Brett Kavanaugh is so earnest and powerful that the Democrats are trying to convince him that he's an alcoholic.

Kavanaugh's hard-working, busted my butt routine isn't working IMO. That's not the issue. The issue is his temperament for the bench today.

Hatch says "this man is not a monster." I think that's the point that the circus is missing. He also called Avanetti a "Porn Star Lawyer."
Hatch is funny. -
If I was McConnell I would have cut bait by now. Either way this shit-show goes, it's increasingly likely to cost the GOP control of the Senate.

Hatch is good. Graham isn't. He reminds me of Senator Geary before Michael showed him who he was.TurdBuffer said:Hatch says "this man is not a monster." I think that's the point that the circus is missing. He also called Avanetti a "Porn Star Lawyer."

Like Anita Hill she failed to deliver. It was over when she wouldn't fly, she just wouldn't, Except for all the times she does. Then Grassley waved the sworn affadavits under penalty of a felony of her 4 "witnesses" denying it and the game was over
The dude, like Thomas, was just some angry theater for the masses.
The fact the dems still want to delay the vote lets you know what they think
If they had killed him we would be voting now -

This is over. He's on. -
Another funny is Liz Swisher, MD at UW saying "I know he was a sloppy drunk because I drank with him." Um, Dr. Swisher, I have to ask: If you were drunk, how is your memory reliable? Kind of a dumb thing for a doctor to say? No?

Women went for TrumpAZDuck said:
This is about who gets the base out. The democrats got both out today
The GOP congress was going to go quietly to defeat. Now the GOP base is as angry as Kavs -
Blumenthal didn't do well. He came off weak and he let Kavs (I like to call him Kavs) control the conversation. Kavs won that one.
-
Like they did in 2016?AZDuck said: -
Blumenthal should have told Kavanaugh that due his time spent deep in the shit in "Nam" where he assaulted plenty of zipper-heads and gooks, he knows Kav is lying.creepycoug said:Blumenthal didn't do well.

Been through it for work. Two questions would have been nice.AZDuck said:
That first story is entirely accurate and does not support your assertion. The second story you link is much more slanted but still does not support your assertion.Sledog said:

who?Sledog said:
He only asked two. They were about the written story line prepared while the examiner was not in the room. It was heavily changed, scribbled and had parts inserted and redacted.AZDuck said:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHASledog said:
Her polygraph test was a joke. Complete utter foolishness. Two questions and they were not specific. Polygraph tests require specific single subject questions.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Be a better poasterAZDuck said:
you clearly know nothing about polygraphs
The SOP is to ask the examinee a bunch of questions that are obvious "yes" or "no" questions that are irrelevant to the topic.
Then the polygrapher asks a VERY LIMITED number of questions, usually no more than 2-4... and the polygraph will hit or not hit on "deceptive response."
Too many questions and the machine will start hitting or not hitting on every question.
"The interviewer asked Ford whether “any part” of her statement was false or whether she made up any detail included in her initial report."
Funny experts think this isn't a valid poly. But please enlighten me.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/09/report-ford-polygraph-expert-says-victims-like-ford-you-believe-them-dont-ask-specific-questions/
As I've said, all a poly does is tell you whether a subject is being "deceptive" or "evasive," which is pretty much what the first story says. Also, polygraphs aren't admissible in court, for the very good reason that they have to be interpreted and that interpretation is subjective.
Smart defense attorneys have ex-FBI, CID, or NCIS polygraphers on speed dial, because the investigative poly will almost invariably come along with the polygrapher, who also tends to be the best interrogator in the office (funny how that works).
Of course, while the poly isn't admissible, anything the accused says *is.* Which is the real reason for the season in terms of polygraphs. -

Hard to do what he did in school being a drunk is what I think he was really trying to say.TurdBuffer said:Kavanaugh's hard-working, busted my butt routine isn't working IMO. That's not the issue. The issue is his temperament for the bench today.

Blumenthal sucks. We done here?RaceBannon said: -
Nope. It was a classic, "I've done all this good work, so I couldn't have done that."Sledog said:

Good luck getting anyone nominated in 50 years when every single person has internet history of them chewing a tide pop

I am Spartacus!

I think Kavanaugh is probably guilt of the act Ford accuses him of. But I think she's overplaying her trauma, lying about believing he was going to kill her (completely unbelievable, especially since they were supposedly laughing), and lying, falsely attributing or mis-attributing her problems in life to whatever happened between her and Kavanaugh. This is a revenge plot, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with healing, protecting women, stopping a monster, or a "civic duty" in any way. This is about settling scores. Period.

A bunch of people who were in Kavanaugh's class at Yale apparently knew about the penis in the face thing. I read that they were emailing among themselves and that there were indications that the Administration knew as well. Why not just move on to the next paid-up Federalist Society member?Doogles said:Good luck getting anyone nominated in 50 years when every single person has internet history of them chewing a tide pop

The advent of social media will make it even more impossible
I hope none of the kids here ever want to be anything special
