There are so many news stories swirling around on the Kavanaugh allegations

Posted by Dave on Mon Sep 24 21:30:13 2018

Have any witnesses Ford named as present at the house party where she was allegedly assaulted backed up her claim? I don't recall or know at this point!

It's true.

Dozens of people have been contacted and interviewed by the media.

None can corroborate any of the claims.

That's why I said, "The more the merrier" when Fred The Thread G threaded about a 3rd woman. It seems the more women making accusations, the less bang(pun intended) the story has.

Might change if they were under oath. Look at KT McFarland

I believe however she does have witnesses to confirm that she didn't just start talking about Kavanaugh this year, but has been claiming this in private for quite a few years.

It doesn’t surprise me that many Republicans/conservatives want him to be innocent or that many democrats/liberals have already decided that he’s guilty. What is really disturbing is the idea among many that if you don’t accept that he is guilty because he has been accused that you are anti-woman. That it’s anti-woman and victim shaming to ask for proof. With the me too movement being accused is the same as being guilty. And most out here are ok with that.

Here's the way I think it'll shake out. Ford can't prove he did it & Kavanaugh can't prove he didn't. Based on that & since the burden of proof is still on the accuser in this country, he gets by what has turned into media circus & gets appointed.

It sounds like he was a real douchebag when he was a teen but that doesn’t mean that he sexually assaulted women. But maybe he did?

What do you mean by "guilty?"

His guilt or innocence of any criminal act is not under consideration by the Senate. All that is under consideration is whether he is suitable to be appointed to the United States Supreme Court, for which the ethical standards are far higher than for the Presidency.

For example, President Trump has never been accused of any crime. But surely you wouldn't want to see him (or Bill Clinton, for that matter) appointed to the Supreme Court, would you? Or Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who was not convicted of any crime either?

That is true in criminal and civil trials. In the Senate's consideration of a presidential appointment, all sorts of things matter, not just proof of an act. Just as a hypothetical example, if he acts like an asshole when interviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that would matter.

The Senate has far more to consider than whether they are sure he did what he was accused of.

I personally oppose Kavanaugh's confirmation without being sure beyond a reasonable doubt that he did what he was accused of.

I don't care about his past decisions - he was constrained by what the Supreme Court has previously ruled. I am concerned about his future decisions: I would expect him to declare unconstitutional bipartisan environmental legislation that is necessary for the well-being of our country.

On what do you base your fears besides democrat fear mongering? It seems to me that a man with young children and the potential for grand children would be as invested in the environment as you are and perhaps more-so. Where is this fear coming from?

What is interesting is that any male on this venue is a potential Target for a similar smear campaign for n their work or in their community. Why they support having to prove their innocence rather is beyond my understanding. I suspect that these manginas are more invested in the politics of extrme liberalism and never see themselves as becoming o victim in the war they are supporting.

It most certainly is. It now seems that liberalism has embraced the principle of "guilty until proven innocent" when it comes to any sexual issue. Be it the girl in the office accusing you of harassment or the woman on the subway who accuses you of touching or the date who regrets her decision the next day and calls it rape, your presumption of innocence has been taken away from you. Or rather, YOU, have surrendered it.

That's exactly the fear-mongering technique that I was referring to. Of course his logic turns to Cah-Cah when we look at Justice Roberts vote on Obamacare.

"if he acts like an asshole when interviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that would matter."

He has the constitutional right to be an asshole. Just like he has the constitutional right to protection under the bill of rights that dictates innocent until proven guilty. Just because one (party) disagrees with someones political philosophy does not automically make he/she surrender their fundamental right to be innocent until proven guilty.
Besides, history has proven, time & time again that being an asshole in this countries political system, never held many back from being elected and or appointed to any office or any position anywhere

Except for the fact that you aren't in politics on the opposite side. All some classmate that didn't like you for whatever reason in high school no less, has to do is claim this, and any supporter on her side will just assume you are guilty. It's a horrible president a dually. Democrats should be asshamed the way they are doing this.
