Live coverage of Kavanaugh Hearing with new witnesses

[TurtleDude]

i would so want my honor restored i would adamantly insist on the FBI investigating the allegations recognizing that such investigation would prove my innocence
but that would only be the action taken by an innocent man. a guilty one would avoid the FBI documentation of the facts

He's smart enough to realize the scummy dems calls were nothing more than disingenuous attempt to DELAY DELAY DELAY

what is the FBI going to do-investigate a gathering where only one purported participant says it happened on a year, month or day the claimant cannot remember? she cannot remember where it happened

I can see the FBI covering about a 20 square mile area knocking on every door

did you have a party with 5 or 6 teenagers 36 years ago that you were not present at sometime between 1981-1983?

 

[TurtleDude]

She said those things under oath?

And she contacted her house member in July. What the hell is your deal with the Senator stuff. She got it done, met with her and her office.

she was under oath today-did you listen to her testimony?

 

[TurtleDude]

Your arguments keep getting abandoned when I torpedo them.

But you persist.

what arguments

that the people she claim were at this incident don't support her

that she didn't know how she got there where it was, what YEAR it was or how she got home

that alone torpedoes her story

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YEAR IT HAPPENED

 

[JasperL]

she was under oath today-did you listen to her testimony?

Yeah, and I don't recall those words from her today. Got a link? She didn't contact her Senator and dealt with her House member. What's the problem with that? If I had a problem, I'd go to my House member first because he's got great constituent service, he's about 3 miles away, and has a local number.

 

[TurtleDude]

Yeah, and I don't recall those words from her today. Got a link?

no, I sat through her entire testimony. That's what I heard

 

[JasperL]

no, I sat through her entire testimony. That's what I heard

I listened to it as well and didn't hear it, but I'm not the one claiming she lied...

 

[marke]

That's ridiculous. She came across as being as being very honest and vulnerable. No way she would want to upend her life all over again and relive the moment and the pain all over again to be a part of a scam. There is nothing that comes out of this that will ever compensate her for all she has lost. Then and now.

Nevertheless, she had nothing to corroborate her allegations. And she had no fear of flying. And she was not in California but in New England when democrats claimed she was in California and that the hearing had to be delayed due to her fear of flying.

It only gets worse. Democrats want an innocent man or a possibly innocent man destroyed on the basis of an unsubstantiated allegation. That is clearly not right and the democrats should be ashamed of themselves for promoting such unethical, immoral and even illegal tactics.

No, she didn't. A transcript will prove it. The only person who opined that she had told the senators she couldn't meet last Monday because she was afraid to fly was the GOP mouthpiece, Ms. Mitchell; at that point one of Dr. Ford's lawyers said that it was discussed in a telephone conversation between Grassley's staff and the lawyers for Dr. Ford.

Dr. Ford confirmed that she doesn't like to fly, but forces herself to do so when necessary, especially when she's going to see family or heading toward a fun vacation spot.

I watched every minute and heard every damned word.

 

[Lutherf]

what tantrum? obstructionist dems got schooled. What record of partisanship-he votes with GARLAND 90+% of the time. You really haven't done much research on this have you.

What I saw out of Kavanaugh today was a guy who had an epiphany. I think he's come to the point in this process where he really understands the danger of a government run amok. I think he's probably come to the point where he understands that the danger of such a government isn't some academic hypothetical. It's real and he knows it.

I wonder if Roberts watched this circle jerk today and wondered to himself if perhaps his "reasoning" in NFIB v Sebelius was part of the leadup to all that transpired.

 

[CharisRose]

They thought they were almost there...They thought it was all within their grasp, their right to the Utopian paradise, free everything for everyone, a living constitution, power to suppress the God given rights of the individual to advance the collectivist agenda and then it all went away because they got too damn big for their britches, and thought they were unbeatable...

Hear! Hear!

And the Republicans want a man with a multiple serious accusations raised against him advanced to a lifetime position on the highest court in the land without making any serious attempt being made to seek the truth about them. Her fear or dislike of flying or who she contacted or where is irrelevant.

the first allegation was not serious

the second was not serious and was a joke

the third was serious but had zero credibility

I wish I could say I can't believe you said that; unfortunately, you have repeatedly shown over the past few weeks that I shouldn't have expected any less.

I'm sorry. This is untenable to me; no one with a modicum of respect for what Dr. Ford did and said today could possibly be so gleefully flippant about the very real trauma Dr. Ford suffered, and how it has affected the course of her life. End of the line for me.

 

[AlbqOwl]

You evidently watched some testimony the rest didnt...

I watched the whole testimony of both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

And since this guy has made himself out like a victim in all of this, how can expect him to handle cases involving rape, abuse, or anything of that sort?

Well if he never did assault her he is in fact a victim of a political hit job

No, these are not serious allegations, seeing as they did not happen.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

True. When I’m drunk and assault a woman, I always note it on my calendar.

Seems to me a woman who wasn’t in the room wouldn’t have a memory of some boring party with a couple drunk ass oafs 35 years later.

Except her supposed best friend darted out of the party, and somehow got a ride home from another unidentified someone she can’t remember but apparently drove her to swimming she did every day.

And Christine Ford also basically admits that she darted out of this house leaving her best friend in it with two attempted rapers if we believe her story. What a courageous woman in the words of the script drafted by the DNC for all their senators!

I don’t know if I attended a party with my best friend and they suddenly disappeared after going upstairs I’d remember being concerned and wondering what occured

 

[Aristaeus]

His repeated attacks on the Dem party shows that he's clearly not neutral enough to be a scotus judge. I accept that judges will have their political ideology leanings, but to repeatedly attack one party at a confirmation hearing is too party partisan.

Can he be impeached or forced to resign if he is FOUND guilty in the court of Law?

If he is found guilty of the accusation would he not be forced out of the position?

Oh, please f*ck off with your victim shaming.

Well then the democrats shouldnt have targeted him with a partisan hack job takedown. Kav should be confirmed and if he rules against them every single time then it’s their fault for engaging in this. They could’ve investigated this in closed door session but that would’ve made it hard to try to use this for a public takedown

 

[EMNofSeattle]

Oh, please f*ck off with your victim shaming.

She’s got 600K in crowd sourcing for telling a false story, real prostitutes don’t get that kind of coin for actually getting to second base with a client, she wasn’t touched by Kavanaugh and made more then Stormy Daniels, she’s no victim of Kav.

I for one have zero respect for Ms. Ford. She's a blithering blubbering walking insult to females everywhere. That **** wears her trauma like Eva Gabor used to wear fur coats. Maybe I am used to strong women that dont take **** from no-one, but Ford strikes me as girl in an old woman's body, she never grew out of the little girl, wo is me, act. The women in my clan are making comments about her that are making me blush, lets just say they are not flattering or for little ones ears. I thought I was a ruthless bastard. Apparently the lionesses dont like weakness, at all.

You know what? The Dems earned that if it comes to pass. By all accounts the man on the bench was exceptionally cordial with ALL involved. Well if he feels like burning the Dems house down while he's on the bench, I say burn, baby burn.

Good damn question.
