Title: LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing
Post by: mystery-ak on September 27, 2018, 01:05:48 pm

Read Ford's full prepared testimony here.

Chairman Grassley, Ranking Member Feinstein, Members of the Committee. My name is Christine Blasey Ford. I am a Professor of Psychology at Palo Alto University and a Research Psychologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

I was an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina and earned my degree in Experimental Psychology in 1988. I received a Master’s degree in 1991 in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. In 1996, I received a PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Southern California. I earned a Master’s degree in Epidemiology from the Stanford University School of Medicine in 2009.

I have been married to Russell Ford since 2002 and we have two children.

I am here today not because I want to be. I am terrified. I am here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school. I have described the events publicly before. I summarized them in my letter to Ranking Member Feinstein, and again in my letter to Chairman Grassley. I understand and appreciate the importance of your hearing from me directly about what happened to me and the impact it has had on my life and on my family.

I grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. I attended the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1980 to 1984. Holton-Arms is an all-girls school that opened in 1901. During my time at the school, girls at Holton-Arms frequently met and became friendly with boys from all-boys schools in the area, including Landon School, Georgetown Prep, Gonzaga High School, country clubs, and other places where kids and their families socialized. This is how I met Brett Kavanaugh, the boy who sexually assaulted me.

In my freshman and sophomore school years, when I was 14 and 15 years old, my group of friends intersected with Brett and his friends for a short period of time. I had been friendly with a classmate of Brett’s for a short time during my freshman year, and it was through that connection that I attended a number of parties that Brett also attended. We did not know each other well, but I knew him and he knew me. In the summer of 1982, like most summers, I spent almost every day at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland swimming and practicing diving.

One evening that summer, after a day of swimming at the club, I attended a small gathering at a house in the Chevy Chase/Bethesda area. There were four boys I remember being there: Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, P.J. Smyth, and one other boy whose name I cannot recall. I remember my friend Leland Ingham attending. I do not remember all of the details of how that gathering came together, but like many that summer, it was almost surely a spur of the moment gathering. I truly wish I could provide detailed answers to all of the questions that have been and will be asked about how I got to the party, where it took place, and so forth. I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t remember as much as I would like to. But the details about that night that bring me here today are ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.

When I got to the small gathering, people were drinking beer in a small living room on the first floor of the house. I drank one beer that evening. Brett and Mark were visibly drunk. Early in the evening, I went up a narrow set of stairs leading from the living room to a second floor to use the bathroom. When I got to the top of the stairs, I was pushed from behind into a bedroom. I couldn’t see who pushed me. Brett and Mark came into the bedroom and locked the door behind them. There was music already playing in the bedroom. It was turned up louder by either Brett or Mark once we were in the room. I was pushed onto the bed and Brett got on top of me. He began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me. I yelled, hoping someone downstairs might hear me, and tried to get away from him, but his weight was heavy. Brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. He had a hard time because he was so drunk, and because I was wearing a one-piece bathing suit under my clothes. I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me. Both Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack. They both seemed to be having a good time. Mark was urging Brett on, although at times he told Brett to stop. A couple of times I made eye contact with Mark and thought he might try to help me, but he did not.

During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was on top of me. The last time he did this, we toppled over and Brett was no longer on top of me. I was able to get up and run out of the room. Directly across from the bedroom was a small bathroom. I ran inside the bathroom and locked the door. I heard Brett and Mark leave the bedroom laughing and loudly walk down the narrow stairs, pin-balling off the walls on the way down. I waited and when I did not hear them come back up the stairs, I left the bathroom, ran down the stairs, through the living room, and left the house. I remember being on the street and feeling an enormous sense of relief that I had escaped from the house and that Brett and Mark were not coming after me.

Brett’s assault on me drastically altered my life. For a very long time, I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone the details. I did not want to tell my parents that I, at age 15, was in a house without any parents present, drinking beer with boys. I tried to convince myself that because Brett did not rape me, I should be able to move on and just pretend that it had never happened. Over the years, I told very few friends that I had this traumatic experience. I told my husband before we were married that I had experienced a sexual assault. I had never told the details to anyone until May 2012, during a couples counseling session. The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed an extensive remodel of our home, and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand. In explaining why I wanted to have a second front door, I described the assault in detail. I recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the U.S. Supreme Court and spoke a bit about his background. My husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh.

After that May 2012 therapy session, I did my best to suppress memories of the assault because recounting the details caused me to relive the experience, and caused panic attacks and anxiety. Occasionally I would discuss the assault in individual therapy, but talking about it caused me to relive the trauma, so I tried not to think about it or discuss it. But over the years, I went through periods where I thought about Brett’s attack. I confided in some close friends that I had an experience with sexual assault. Occasionally I stated that my assailant was a prominent lawyer or judge but I did not use his name. I do not recall each person I spoke to about Brett’s assault, and some friends have reminded me of these conversations since the publication of The Washington Post story on September 16, 2018. But until July 2018, I had never named Mr. Kavanaugh as my attacker outside of therapy.

This all changed in early July 2018. I saw press reports stating that Brett Kavanaugh was on the “short list” of potential Supreme Court nominees. I thought it was my civic duty to relay the information I had about Mr. Kavanaugh’s conduct so that those considering his potential nomination would know about the assault.
On July 6, 2018, I had a sense of urgency to relay the information to the Senate and the President as soon as possible before a nominee was selected. I called my congressional representative and let her receptionist know that someone on the President’s shortlist had attacked me. I also sent a message to The Washington Post’s confidential tip line. I did not use my name, but I provided the names of Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. I stated that Mr. Kavanaugh had assaulted me in the 1980s in Maryland. This was an extremely hard thing for me to do, but I felt I couldn’t NOT do it. Over the next two days, I told a couple of close friends on the beach in California that Mr.Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted me. I was conflicted about whether to speak out.

On July 9, 2018, I received a call from the office of Congresswoman Anna Eshoo after Mr. Kavanaugh had become the nominee. I met with her staff on July 11 and with her on July 13, describing the assault and discussing my fear about coming forward. Later, we discussed the possibility of sending a letter to Ranking Member Feinstein, who is one of my state’s Senators, describing what occurred. My understanding is that Representative Eshoo’s office delivered a copy of my letter to Senator Feinstein’s office on July 30, 2018. The letter included my name, but requested that the letter be kept confidential.

My hope was that providing the information confidentially would be sufficient to allow the Senate to consider Mr. Kavanaugh’s serious misconduct without having to make myself, my family, or anyone’s family vulnerable to the personal attacks and invasions of privacy we have faced since my name became public. In a letter on August 31, 2018, Senator Feinstein wrote that she would not share the letter without my consent. I greatly appreciated this commitment. All sexual assault victims should be able to decide for themselves whether their private experience is made public.

As the hearing date got closer, I struggled with a terrible choice: Do I share the facts with the Senate and put myself and my family in the public spotlight? Or do I preserve our privacy and allow the Senate to make its decision on Mr. Kavanaugh’s nomination without knowing the full truth about his past behavior?

I agonized daily with this decision throughout August and early September 2018. The sense of duty that motivated me to reach out confidentially to The Washington Post, Representative Eshoo’s office, and Senator Feinstein’s office was always there, but my fears of the consequences of speaking out started to increase.

During August 2018, the press reported that Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation was virtually certain. His allies painted him as a champion of women’s rights and empowerment. I believed that if I came forward, my voice would be drowned out by a chorus of powerful supporters. By the time of the confirmation hearings, I had resigned myself to remaining quiet and letting the Committee and the Senate make their decision without knowing what Mr. Kavanaugh had done to me.

Once the press started reporting on the existence of the letter I had sent to Senator Feinstein, I faced mounting pressure. Reporters appeared at my home and at my job demanding information about this letter, including in the presence of my graduate students. They called my boss and co- workers and left me many messages, making it clear that my name would inevitably be released to the media. I decided to speak out publicly to a journalist who had responded to the tip I had sent to The Washington Post and who had gained my trust. It was important to me to describe the details of the assault in my own words.

Since September 16, the date of The Washington Post story, I have experienced an outpouring of support from people in every state of this country. Thousands of people who have had their lives dramatically altered by sexual violence have reached out to share their own experiences with me and have thanked me for coming forward. We have received tremendous support from friends and our community.

At the same time, my greatest fears have been realized — and the reality has been far worse than what I expected. My family and I have been the target of constant harassment and death threats. I have been called the most vile and hateful names imaginable. These messages, while far fewer than the expressions of support, have been terrifying to receive and have rocked me to my core. People have posted my personal information on the internet. This has resulted in additional emails, calls, and threats. My family and I were forced to move out of our home. Since September 16, my family and I have been living in various secure locales, with guards. This past Tuesday evening, my work email account was hacked and messages were sent out supposedly recanting my description of the sexual assault.

Apart from the assault itself, these last couple of weeks have been the hardest of my life. I have had to relive my trauma in front of the entire world, and have seen my life picked apart by people on television, in the media, and in this body who have never met me or spoken with me. I have been accused of acting out of partisan political motives. Those who say that do not know me. I am a fiercely independent person and I am no one’s pawn. My motivation in coming forward was to provide the facts about how Mr. Kavanaugh’s actions have damaged my life, so that you can take that into serious consideration as you make your decision about how to proceed. It is not my responsibility to determine whether Mr. Kavanaugh deserves to sit on the Supreme Court. My responsibility is to tell the truth.

I understand that the Majority has hired a professional prosecutor to ask me some questions, and I am committed to doing my very best to answer them. At the same time, because the Committee Members will be judging my credibility, I hope to be able to engage directly with each of you.
At this point, I will do my best to answer your questions.

Kavanaugh Will Have a Guest Behind Him That Will Send a POWERFUL Message to Democrats
Breaking News By Amy Moreno September 27, 2018

The support is pouring in for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, as he gears up for the fight of his life today, in a hearing before the Senate Judiciary committee.

One person, who knows exactly how Judge Kavanaugh feels right now, is Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick, who will show her support for the honorable and well-respected judge by sitting nearby, in the gallery, silently sending him support and strength.

Please say a prayer for our country and for Judge Kavanaugh, as he fights against the demonic Democrat character assassination plot.

Amen....

IF he loses this nomination, he has suffered immeasurable humiliation for him or his family.  Terrible false damage to his reputation.  This is true character assassination, and he has sacrificed all for his country and the rule of law.

The dimocratic party are 100% despicable POS.  They all can go to hell.

That's the new legal standard the Liberals are pushing. All we have to do is simply accuse. No evidence. No facts. No details at all. And it is the burden of the accused to prove that it did not happen.

Feinstein just unwittingly made the case against her fervent support for jailbreak. She claims endless sexual assaults go unreported. That is actually true. Which means we don't have an over-incarceration problem. This is essentially the argument @TomCottonAR was making.

This fight is not about Kavanaugh. It’s about standing up to radical Leftists hellbent on the destruction of law, order, due process, and civility. If the Hill Republicans cave on Kavanaugh then NO nominee, for any position, is safe from immoral, unethical, smear campaigns.

Could be a mixture of truth... maybe she was assaulted and just figured Brett was involved since he's in the news as such a bad guy.

Either she's an Academy Award-winning actress, or she believes what she's saying right now. Nobody's going to care about the lack of any supporting evidence, if they didn't before now.

None of that matters.  It’s all about emotion now. 

I don’t know what sexual assault really is, because I don’t classify my experiences of being repeatedly backed into a corner and physically blocked “assault.”  Maybe it is by legal standards, I don’t know.

But there are women outside the building in DC, crying and saying they want to throw up.  It may be callous, but I wonder how many of them were actually violently assaulted/raped, and how many are just drama-queening. 

A woman wailed to John Podhoretz that he needed to be sensitive to the terror women feel at being shoved.  Yep, SHOVED.  The howling victim thing is wearing on me.

Harmlessly flirting with women used to be 'fun', for both men and women. But the Liberals have screwed it all up. I don't know what sexual assault is either. That is why I stay the hell away from women these days. All it takes is the accusation. That is enough to screw up your life.

The worst experience I have had with this stuff was when a cute very young girl/woman walked into a briefing room to give me a memo. I said, 'Senorita, usted esta muy bonita' and forgot about it. I only found out later that the company, not the girl, the company I was working for wanted to charge me with something, sexual ...fill in the blank. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was just being polite. There was no sexual nothing. That girl could have been my own daughter. The last thing I was thinking about was sex.

When I was 16 I worked as a stock boy at a K-mart type store. The aisles in the stockroom were very narrow. My thing was to fake block the aisle and the girls had to pay with a kiss to pass.

I think Hume and Wallace are completely out of touch with how people will view this hearing.

Absolutely. No one would be terrified if they were telling the truth. They'd feel empowered. Have a firm voice. Not have to read a statement. Ford is a sick puppy.

Now that I've seen and heard her, my psychiatric RN instinct says she is profoundly disturbed.

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.  Frankly, I don't really care whether this woman is lying or not.  I haven't heard anything that in my mind disqualifies Kavanaugh for the SCOTUS.

The question is whether or not this really happened or not. Not whether or not this is "good" for what political party.

No, that's not the question.   The incident likely happened, but was perceived differently by Ford and Kavanaugh.   Ford may be ginning this up as attempted rape and sexual assault; but I can believe that she remembers the single most salient aspect from her perspective -  a hand being placed over her mouth.   Kavanaugh likely has no choate memories of the incident at all,  since from his perspective nothing memorable happened, just boisterous hi-jinks.   As Ford testifies,  K and Mark Judge were laughing - hardly the mindsets of predators.    Keep in mind that Ford and Kavanaugh never had another encounter after the party.    I can understand perfectly why both may be telling the truth from their perspectives.

And that is why the question becomes how Kavanaugh can present the issue of "two truths" in its best possible light.    To me, the approach that may save him is tactical contrition - an acknowledgement of the difference in their perspectives,  and the possibility that he may have acted, as a 17 year old drinking beer with buddies, in a way that was upsetting to her.   With that possibility acknowledged, he can then apologize for his teenage actions and criticize the party culture that was all too prevalent back in those days when the drinking age in many places was only 18.   

He needs to turn this into a positive - not by admitting to assault, but by owning up to the bravado and insensitivity of beer-fueled teenage encounters, and pointing to the rest of his life as evidence that he has grown into a responsible adult.

Perhaps she is not lying - from her perspective.   Kavanaugh has to confront and address that likely truth.   It can be done.  They were, after all, just teenagers.  Mistakes and misperceptions were par for the course.

In October 2016, one month before Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Presidential election, a document was released by WikiLeaks that showed the Clinton campaign's use of Haberman to place sympathetic stories in Politico. "[The Clinton campaign] has a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year. We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed. While we should have a larger conversation in the near future about a broader strategy for reengaging the beat press that covers HRC, for this we think we can achieve our objective and do the most shaping by going to Maggie."[11]

We've seen the hand written note.  Looked like it was penned by a 3rd grader.  She didn't know what exculpatory means.  She's not bright enough to BE a teacher.  She seems kind of dumb to me.

It's the meds and her mental illness on display. She's a mess. the childlike voice is very telling. I agree that not knowing the meaning of exculpatory is absurd.

She took the polygraph on the day of her grandmother's funeral. Ford was scared of the polygraph test. It was long and stressful.

All of this is but a show to push the Pubbie "fence sitters" (Collins, Murkowski, Flake) off to the left side.
Without them, it will fall to Manchin, Heitkamp, and that Senator from Indiana(?)...

I remember last week speculating that the chances of confirmation (via the route we're currently going) were only about 40-60 in Judge Kavanaugh's favor.

As of this moment, those chances seem to be no better.

Like the broken record (CD?) I will offer this once again:
- Postpone confirmation for now
- Engineer a "Senate recess" (surely McConnell can arrange this)
- Mr. Trump can then recess-appoint Judge Kavanaugh to the Court
- After the new Senate convenes in January, vote (without Flake and that guy from TN).

I think the biggest blow landed so far is the testimony about flying.  Ford has flown numerous times in the past without incident.   She obviously stated she did not want to fly because it would delay the hearing.  In other words, she lied for political motives.  It is not too much of a stretch to believe she might lie about other things for political motives as well.

The other interesting testimony is Ford's acknowledgement that she has a genetic predisposition toward PTSD and anxiety.  I believe her about that.  Someone with a serious genetic predisposition toward anxiety can easily take a relatively minor thing and elevate it in her mind to the point that it becomes a major trauma.  Someone with this condition can also fantasize about a certain thing and then over the years cement it in the memory so that it is believed to have been real.

These are the two biggest developments so far, as far as I can see.

I think the fact that she doesn't remember where she was before the party, just a "best estimate" of being at the Columbia Country Club because she went there often is very damaging. No idea how she got there (she couldn't drive yet) and she thinks the party was near the club. No memory of how she got home over 8 miles away. No one has come forward to say they drove her.

I find her completely uncredible.   The question of who drove her there and back home that night.... she doesn't remember?  She's lying.   There couldn't have been 'that many people' that drove her around at night.  She knows exactly who it was, but won't say because she knows that person would ALSO not corroborate her "story", just as her best friend and the other three people at that (nonexistent) party didn't corroborate her "story".

She strikes me as credible.   That doesn't mean that her truth is the whole truth.   But Judge Kavanaugh is going to have to demonstrate credibility himself as he deals with the reality that Ford has testified with 100 percent certainty that he had an encounter with her.

Somewhere along the line someone had better ask Americans if they are comfortable living in a country where an uncorroborated charge is enough to condemn and completely upend one's life. Be sure, the principle will find its way into the legal system, there will be no coming back up this slippery slope.

I find her completely uncredible.   The question of who drove her there and back home that night.... she doesn't remember?  She's lying.   There couldn't have been 'that many people' that drove her around at night.  She knows exactly who it was, but won't say because she knows that person would ALSO not corroborate her "story", just as her best friend and the other three people at that (nonexistent) party didn't corroborate her "story".

I turned the station, during the Leahy portion, when she said, “Indelible in the hippocampus....”

QFT

I think the fact that she doesn't remember where she was before the party, just a "best estimate" of being at the Columbia Country Club because she went there often is very damaging. No idea how she got there (she couldn't drive yet) and she thinks the party was near the club. No memory of how she got home over 8 miles away. No one has come forward to say they drove her.

Mitchell also got Ford to claim that Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were drinking before they got to the "gathering." How on earth could Ford know that?

Again, not denying that Ford might have been sexually assaulted by someone. But there are so many holes in her story you would have to be the most gullible person in the world to believe her despite not one person corroborating her story.
So far it's basically been Dem senators: "did Kavanaugh assault you?"
Ford:"yes"
Dem senators and various talking heads :"well, that's it....Kavanaugh is definitely guilty."
Hey, where's the evidence?

Exactly....  I have heard no collaborated proof that Kav was involved in this incident. 

A new chapter in our nation has been opened......   A SCOTUS nomination can be scuttled on heresay alone.

This isn't a trial.   The Dems are working to trash Kavanaugh's reputation in order to scuttle a vote on the nomination, or convince those on the fence to vote him down.   That's all this is.   And Kavanaugh needs to be able to respond to the concerns of those on the fence.   It's not a matter of refuting the charge or claiming Ford is liar.  It is a matter of placing the incident in context as a teenage misunderstanding and to exhibit appropriate contrition, empathy and evidence of personal growth.    Yeah, you can call that touchy-feely stuff, but it's what Flake,  Manchin, Collins and Murkowski want to hear.   And that, in the end, is the only audience that matters.

Title: Re: LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing
Post by: massadvj on September 27, 2018, 06:29:27 pm

Here is the defense as far as I am concerned.

1. Ford claims that in addition to the Kavanaugh event, she has a genetic predisposition to PTSD and anxiety.  Her own testimony.

2. There is a body of science that shows people with a genetic predisposition toward PTSD are more likely to produce false memories.  Here is just one example, but there are many others:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5665161/ (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5665161/)

To quote from the research:

"Our review suggests that individuals with PTSD, a history of trauma, or depression are at risk for producing false memories...."

Given that there is zero corroborating evidence, it is entirely likely that Dr. Ford is experiencing a false memory based on some event that happened to her in her teenage years.  This is a more plausible explanation than the one that says Ford is telling the truth while four other witnesses are lying.

I would have been willing to give her the benefit of that doubt before today.  Now that I've seen her "in action".....hell no.   Her performance today has convinced me that she has been lying all along.  That parting smirk kind of cemented it.

Harris has not yet asked a question.

That is the whole Dem strategy. They certainly don't want to ask Ford any questions that might trip her up.
I did expect a little more from the prosecutor. I know she was trying to set Ford up, but she never got close to asking her tough questions. That might have been by design as well.
Obviously, the Dems and Soros have put a lot of money behind Ford testifying. Her lawyers' claims of doing it pro bono only means she, Ford, isn't paying them. They're getting money from other sources.

I don't find her claim that she didn't know that committee members would go to her in California to be credible at all.  I knew about it, why didn't she?  There are two possibilities:

1.  Her attorney didn't inform her, in which case they could be disbarred. This would also require her to be in complete isolation -- no TV, no radio, no internet.  Under the circumstances she wasn't the least bit curious regrading what the media was reporting?

or .....

2.  She perjured herself.

Occam's razor tells me the second explanation is correct.

Once again I will post this, but everyone here ignores me.

RECESS APPOINTMENT.

1. Cancel the committee vote. Cancel the Senate confirmation vote.
2. McConnell can adjourn the Senate at some point before January 1st.
3. Mr. Trump can then recess-appoint Kavanaugh to the High Court
4. I will speculate that the incoming Senate as of January 2019 will have more Republicans than the one now, and of course Flake and Corker will be gone.
5. I will also speculate that the incoming Senators will be amenable to voting for Kavanaugh to establish their credentials, both with their constituencies but also with the Senate itself.
6. Take the vote and confirm Kavanaugh without further hearings.

Time and time again I've asked:
Can't anybody here play this game?

It's obvious that most of the Senate Republicans -- and perhaps many here -- cannot.

She gives the appearance of being terrified of everything. How did she become a college professor being terrified of so many things?

It is a focal point every time (no this is not news to me).  However, this time is different because, if Kavanaugh is confirmed, the conservatives might have the votes they need to alter abortion law...

Quote

WASHINGTON — Most Supreme Court appointments are in a way inconsequential. A conservative replaces a conservative, a liberal replaces a liberal, and the court’s basic direction is unchanged.

That is not the case with the nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, whose Senate confirmation hearings will begin on Tuesday. Judge Kavanaugh is considerably more conservative than the justice he would replace, Anthony M. Kennedy.

But there is a more subtle, and important, reason that President Trump’s pick of Judge Kavanaugh could remake the court. His confirmation would result in a rare replacement of the court’s swing justice, moving Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. — a much more reliably conservative vote than Justice Kennedy — to the court’s ideological center.

It has been more than 80 years since a chief justice was the swing vote. If Chief Justice Roberts assumes that position, legal scholars said, he will lead a solid five-member conservative majority that would most likely restrict access to abortion...

There is no doubt that I’m angry. I was locked in a house and held down and groped when I was a teenager. I can tell you everything that happened that day. I know exactly which house it happened in because I can never go past that house without remembering what happened. I can tell you people and details.  I was traumatized and in the moment I did fear for my life, but I can not even begin to call myself a survivor. Hearing them call her a survivor pisses me off!  I was not traumatized for life. He was 15 yrs old. He had no weapons and though I can imagine that he could of raped me, he didn’t rape me. As a rational adult I can, without excusing his behavior, understand his behavior.

Ford is not credible and with this circus, she hurts women who have been sexually assaulted and had reason to be traumatized for life.

I'm stuck on Kavanaugh saying the allegations against him are an "orchestrated political hit" fueled by anger at Trump's election in 2016 and people trying to get revenge for the Clintons

Three weeks ago at an earlier hearing, Kavanaugh said of judges: "We stay out of politics"

The world's changed in the last two weeks.   The comity that marked some of us is gone.   Destroyed, for now, just like the Judge's reputation at the hands of these swine.

I'll repeat it:
========
The letter is good, and I suspect he'll repeat much of the same in his appearance before the Senate panel on Thursday.

But... he's going to have to show some emotion, as well.
He better not be "too dry" in his presentation.
Not too "lawyerly".
He must come across as a man whose dignity has been subjected to a vicious and unjustified attack.

It was Clarence Thomas' righteous indignation that won the battle for him back in 1991.

Justice Thomas ought to call Judge Kavanaugh before Thursday and offer some advice and counselin' ...!

I'm wonderin' if Justice Thomas made that call...?

Going back a bit, I think Judge Kavanaugh should not have gone here in his opening: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/brett-kavanaugh-says-hes-a-target-of-a-revenge-plot-on-behalf-of-the-clintons (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/brett-kavanaugh-says-hes-a-target-of-a-revenge-plot-on-behalf-of-the-clintons)

"This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election. Fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside, left-wing opposition groups," Kavanaugh said during opening remarks before the panel.

This wasn't in his prepared remarks.  I understand he's rightfully angry, but for many Americans this is not about a political hit.  This smacks of conspiracy theory.

I figured the Dems questioning of Kavanaugh would be along these lines.  Petty, useless questions about his yearbook.  How do you interrogate somebody about a party nobody has any proof the accused was at?
Why doesn't he want an FBI investigation? He's been investigated six times. What does Turban and other Dems screwballs think the FBI will find?  Why should Kavanaugh have to call the FBI on himself?
He wanted to answer the charges immediately after they were made. The Dems deliberately delayed everything.

Mystery posted from Erick Erickson
"A day of accountability is coming for all these Senators. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Jeff Flake, and the rest will have to decide if they believe emotion or facts, Ford or Kavanaugh."

Well, let's sit back and assess for a moment.

Flake (on the Judiciary Committee) is the only "wavering vote" there that I see.
If Judge Kavanaugh didn't gain that vote today -- it was not going to be "gained" under any circumstances. But -- I think the judge made his case before Flake today.

So, that should take care of the Committee vote -- hold that as soon as possible (scheduled for tomorrow, right?).

Regarding Collins and Murkowski:
After today, I don't think we "need them" any more.
Manchin of West Virginia will almost certainly vote to confirm.
I'm going out on a limb and predicting that Heitkamp and Donnelly will, too.

That should do it...

Asked if he ever drank to the point of blacking out, Brett Kavanaugh says no, asking Sen. Klobuchar, "Have you?"

"Could you answer the question, judge? So, that's not happened, is that your answer?"

"Yeah, and I'm curious if you have."

Judge Moore was removed from his own office on the Alabama Supreme Court itself (or however that procedure works) 2 times. This is hardly impeccable service as one said the other day.

Odd, if one's job is to protect the laws/constitution of the state and that runs one against the liberal establishment to the point of being wrongfully removed from office. How does that tarnish one's service. He was elected to do a job, it cost him his job, but what job he did was impeccable to everyone except liberals who wanted a lacky.

Not one real conservative had a problem with Moore's job performance. Dear Tom, It was impeccable, and even some liberal lawyers agreed. The last time Roy was removed from office even the liberal NY Times agreed with him that the liberal judge on gay marriage didn't have the authority to make her rulling state wide.

Quote from: NYsLimes

Roy Moore is right that on its face, Granade’s order doesn’t require state probate judges all over Alabama — who weren’t named in the case Granade heard — to issue marriage licenses. Granade merely instructed Alabama’s attorney general not to enforce the state’s same-sex-marriage ban. That means a probate judge could go along with her decision

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/11/magazine/in-sort-of-defense-of-roy-moore.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/11/magazine/in-sort-of-defense-of-roy-moore.html)

That is even ignoring the issue is a 10th amendment issue (state) instead of a broad reading of the 14th.

Roy gets removed because they know his objections are solid, and they don't want it to get to court, so they remove him (last time it wasn't even a correct removal, that required an unanimous vote which they didn't get) before he has a chance to challenge their rulings on constitutional ground. 

Quote from: TomSea

or however that procedure works

The canon group that has the power to judge judges is an interesting political creature in itself. It basically appoints people it wants to judge judges. Given the gene pool is mostly liberal lawyers, it gets packed with liberals and thus is not a true representation of the general public. Now the governor gets to appoint ONE member in the group, at least when you have a conservative governor you get ONE sane voice in the procedures. But all in all, judges know they have to do a dog and pony show for liberals if they want to keep their jobs. Roy has twice found this out, been removed from office twice now both times before he had the chance to prove in court his rulings were constitutional.

When the Dems learned Reagan was going to nominate Bork...Ted Kennedy went to the Senate floor and delivered what can best be described as a blatant character assanation on Judge Bork.

The media leaked his video rental history and did the 80’s version of what is happening to Judge Kavanaugh. The incident led to the enactment of the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act.

I think that the pendulum swings too far at either end.  At one end people are treated badly, the pendulum swings to the opposite end with too great a drive for revenge.  There's a power imbalance at either end.  Trying to stay at the midpoint is the hard part.  This is why we can't have nice things ;(.

People describing that story as "groping" is pathetic.  Making excuses for someone holding a girl down, trying to take off her clothes, and covering her mouth, is pathetic.  Leave aside the question of whether it happened for a moment -- trying to minimize that set of actions is disgusting.

My client Julie Swetnick is demanding the opportunity to be heard, together with at least one supporting witness. The Committee is refusing to get back to us and allow the testimony. I just sent the below email. My client deserves the right to be placed under oath and testify.

I would prefer her under a restraining order so that Kavanaugh and his family are safe.

I see you got your copy of the democrat talking points.

I have spent a lot of time reading Judge Kavanaugh's decisions.  Why did he find it necessary to contradict himself?  That's not a talking point; it's fact.  It was a minor point; he didn't need to go there.  I'll post some quotes in a minute. 

Like Sacks v. US Dept of Defense: "As the Government notes, law enforcement agencies use polygraphs to test the credibility of witnesses and criminal defendants. Those agencies also use polygraphs to “screen applicants for security clearances so that they may be deemed suitable for work in critical law enforcement, defense, and intelligence collection roles.” Declaration of Alesia Y. Williams, Defense Intelligence Agency, Chief of FOIA Services Section, at Joint Appendix 226. In Morley v. CIA, we stated: “Background investigations conducted to assess an applicant’s qualification, such as … clearance and investigatory processes, inherently relate to law enforcement.” 508 F.3d 1108, 1128–29 (D.C.Cir.2007) (internal quotation marks omitted)."

@CatherineofAragon  I'm sorry that happened to you.  I hope those asses got what they deserved.  I've gone back and forth on the victim/survivor thing.  I think sometimes people go on and lean too heavily on victimhood. 

I think that the pendulum swings too far at either end.  At one end people are treated badly, the pendulum swings to the opposite end with too great a drive for revenge.  There's a power imbalance at either end.  Trying to stay at the midpoint is the hard part.  This is why we can't have nice things ;(.

@LauraTXNM

Thanks.  It's fine, I forgot about the thing with the doctor the next day, and as for the other one, I finally told him what would happen to him if he didn't leave me alone, and it ended.  No trauma or anything. 

I do get your point about a middle balance, and I agree.  It's best to take every case on its own merits.  I think MeToo has worn out its victimhood welcome mat.

So.... how, exactly, would Kavanaugh taking a polygraph test on this matter "relate to law enforcement"?   There has been no formal charge, no police report, nada.

Also.... how useful, credible and productive was the frigging "two question" polygraph test Ford took.... wherein his name was never even brought up? 

Kavanaugh is correct.  You, not so much.

OK folks, the hearing is over.

Is there not a vote scheduled for tomorrow?

If Grassley cancels that vote, you'll know that Flake won't vote with the rest of the Republicans to move the nomination to the floor.

If that's the case, there's no point in pressing this further "in committee". It can't get out-of-committee without Flake's vote.

At that point, there are three options that I can see:
1. McConnell can call a full Senate vote on the nomination, up or down.
2. Mr. Trump can withdraw the nomination
3. Mr. Trump can wait for a Senate recess and then recess-appoint Judge Kavanaugh to the Court.

Addendum:
I hope Flake somehow comes around and does the right thing.
But if he doesn't...  which of the above choices shall it be...?

Hearing them call her a survivor pisses me off!  I was not traumatized for life. He was 15 yrs old. He had no weapons and though I can imagine that he could of raped me, he didn’t rape me. As a rational adult I can, without excusing his behavior, understand his behavior.

Ford is not credible and with this circus, she hurts women who have been sexually assaulted and had reason to be traumatized for life.

Yes, indeed.

While Ford wasn't credible, I think she came off as sympathetic to many. She's obviously had a tough time and is profoundly affected by something in her past- but Kavanaugh was certainly not the cause of her pain.

Quote

“So what’s the difference between the Kavanaugh and Moore situations?
McConnell’s political self-interests, that’s what.
With Moore, the Senate majority leader was hoping to freeze out a Trumpian extremist who threatened to tip the power balance in the chamber away from the establishment politicians whom McConnell controls.

McConnell at that point was also battling President Donald Trump himself, with McConnell on the defensive from attacks by Trump for failures on the repeal of Obamacare and other key initiatives.
But McConnell’s situation has firmed up since then, and now he’s completely changed his tune.”

David Horowitz quotes a Lenin-era Chekist:

""We are not looking for evidence or witnesses to reveal deeds or words against the Soviet power? The first question we ask is: to what class does he belong, what are his origins, upbringing, education or profession? These questions define the fate of the accused."

In other words, the truth of an accusation and the punishment meted out to the accused are not dependant on the actual truth or falsity of the statement but on who says it. Some people simply by virtue of their status as members of certain groups make unassailable statements that must be treated as true and the status of the accused is the determinant of his fate.

Senator Hirono, for example, says Kavanaugh must be guilty because he's a conservative jurist. What's the difference and why would it be unfair to say the impulse is basically totalitarian?

BREAKING: We Have The Votes

With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on the floor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins (R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh. That’s the ball game, folks.

It was an intense and hellacious day at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of an attempted rape while at a high school party, told her story of her alleged sexual assault. It was intense. It was emotional. And it still lacked evidence, witnesses, and other corroborating details. It’s an unprovable allegation, which is what Democrats want; it allows them to delay and run out the clock on this nomination. The FBI investigation talking point has been beaten to death by Senate Democrats, another delay tactic that has been undercut by past remarks by none other than Joe Biden. When he chaired the committee during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, Biden famously said that FBI reports are inconclusive and should not be relied on during sexual misconduct allegations.

The ABA is made up of liberal idiots.  I know a number of attorneys who were once members, but left.  Others have refused to join because of the association's liberal politics. 

Sorta like the American Medical Association.  Neither organization represents the best interests of the professions they claim to serve.

I guess poor little Amy didn't get the memo that Trump spoke of highly of Rosenstein the other day when everyone was predicting the President was going to fire him.

As for DiFi...she SHOULD be indicted...but given the fact she didn't get the endorsement from the California Democrat Party...I'm guessing she did this as a hail mary to try and get reelected and stave off her primary challenger.

Whitehouse is believing Ford just because she said it and he wants it to be true.  She had no evidence to prove her claim.

He didn't find Kavanaugh credible because he didn't want him to be credible.  Kavanaugh had EVIDENCE (his calendar and those supposed to be there said they were not).  So, Whitehouse didn't find him credible because he wants him out no matter what the evidence is that he didn't do it.

It is the same committee scenario with all of the Democrats and a few of the Republicans who aren't Republicans. They will not believe ANY evidence these charges are not true because they want him out no matter what the truth is.

No doubt Soros and all his proxy groups as well as Planned Parenthood and other far Left groups are all chipping in. The Liberals/Democrats want to be sure that everyone knows that if you follow their script against anything conservative, especially if you are willing to lie, you become an instant millionaire as this woman has done.

Exactly.  Even if she had no partisan axe to grind (and we already know she does).... the prestige and cash incentives alone would motivate most leftist scum to lie out the wazoo.

Booker patting himself on the back about how good he is. Refers to his Spartacus moment without saying the s word. Actually going back to the documents requested and denied from Bush WH that were NOT Kav's work product and saying they are work product. Presenting himself as reasonable and non-partisan. So funny.

If Flake supports Kavanaugh then it is proof that he intends to run for office again in some capacity. If he did not intend to run again for something, there would be no reason for him to betray his Democrat friends, colleagues, and family, since he is retiring from the Senate anyway.

But, he could be doing a McCain tactic. McCain was famous for telling Republicans that he was going to vote with them only to stick the knife in the back at the last minute. He seemed to actually enjoy doing this. Maybe Flake is following his mentor's example and never planned to vote for Kavanaugh.

No, I think Flake is just doing the right thing, he comes what has historically been a very red state, Sen. Lindsay Graham too, certainly made an emotional appeal to Flake, Lindsay being McCain's cohort.

Also, there has to be some cooperation some time, some reaching across the aisles, even Barry Goldwater said that.....yes, we want a Conservative agenda, if I can find some picture of Tip O'Neill and Reagan together, it doesn't mean Reagan betrayed conservative values.

There is enough gridlock as it is and under Obama, it was nothing but gridlock for the last 6 years.

Yep.   And I keep asking....

why would Grassley do that?

Empty seats could mean no vote, btw.

From TOS -  C210N:

A committee cannot vote without a quorum... present. In the case of a vanishing quorum, the meeting ends.

OTOH, the Judiciary committee has its own collection of rules they would have put in place over the years... which may or may not alter vanishing quorum situations.

This is not difficult to understand. Lying to Congressional investigators and lying to the FBI agents carries the same penalty. Both felonies. The calls for an FBI investigation are a farce. The people Dems want pursued have submitted sworn statements under this penalty.

Well... if Grassley had held the vote at 9:30 am.... like they were supposed to do....

none of this would be an issue right now.   My question is.... why?  Why is Grassley doing this (allowing it)?

I think Grassley is cut from the same cloth as Sessions.  They are old-timey politicians, from a time where there was still a lot of knives in the back and throat cutting, but it was done politely and behind the scenes.  They have a really hard time publicly confronting their opponents.  And, Grassley actually did much better throughout this whole process than I would have expected.

Here’s the math on Kavanaugh’s nomination:
51 GOP - 2 undecided = 49
49 Dems - 2 undecided = 47

All four undecideds need to vote NO, or he will be confirmed 50-50 with a Pence tie-breaker.

But the fence-sitters, Flake, Murkowski, Collins, will want this investigation, that sucks some....

Flake's vote in the full Senate is contingent on a weeks delay..but we may not need him now

That's right!  And Flake himself said it may not take a week. And it won't.   There is nothing for them to investigate.

Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination will next be considered by the entire Senate, where Republicans have a narrow 51-49 majority.

While it doesn’t look like the vote is going to take place quite that early, consideration of Kavanaugh’s nomination was previously set to hit the floor on Saturday, when the Senate was set to take a procedural vote.

Due to procedural rules and expected debate on his nomination, that meant he likely wouldn’t get a vote from the full Senate until next Monday or Tuesday. It’s unclear whether this timing is still in place.

Ditto. The FBI could take Ford's statements. Okay. Then they ask Kavanaugh. He says he wasn't at the party in question.
What the h can they do then?  Ask him if he is sure, he says he's sure, and that's it.
This is 36 years ago. What do these idiots think the FBI will be able to find? Ford has no corroborating evidence. In fact, she seems to have lied about a number of details.

Here's the two whole questions Ford was asked in her polygraph test:

“Is any part of your statement false?” She answered, “No.” The second question is: “Did you make up any part of your statement?” She again answered, “No.”

That's it that's all.  And this is somehow proof her story isn't made up?

I can understand that.... considering who (which side) was giving her the test.  What I'm still trying to figure out is.. how come the prosecutor, Mitchell, never asked Ford why Kav's name was never mentioned in those therapy notes.   And why did Ford scrub all of her social media accounts before coming forward with "her truth".  And why has nobody ... none of her so-called friends or family... come forward and admitted that they were the one who drove Ford that ""fateful night"" (/sarc).

It's smelling more and more like a continuation of the set-up.

BREAKING: Lisa Murkowski says she supports a 1 week delay proposed by Flake.

Yes, that's right. This feels like blackmail. They want that investigation by hook or by crook.

The upside, is if nothing is found, they've got to vote for Kavanaugh.

That's right. That is why I do not believe there will be a week delay to 'investigate'. Since there is nothing to investigate in the first place. I'm not even sure the FBI will take the case. A 17 year old boy groping a girl at a party where they were both drinking is not exactly their forte. No date. No address. No witnesses. No details at all. Imagine if you were assigned the investigation. How would you even start?

Primarily, the FBI will interview Mark Judge.   I think Kavanaugh is completely innocent, but Judge may not be.    See my post to @massadvj 's recent topic about Ford's testimony about her genetic disposition to anxiety.   My suspicion is that Judge and another kid (not Kavanaugh) may have attacked Ford,  but Ford has misidentified Kavanaugh as the second person.   So,  Kavanaugh may in part have been trying to protect his old friend Judge from old skeletons being unearthed. 

Or perhaps Ford is lying outright.   I'd love to see the twitter/Facebook posts she deleted.   

The GOP's task now, I think, is to make sure the FBI inquiry is limited to the Ford allegation.   The copycat allegations should be off-limits; this should focus solely on trying to resolve, if possible,  how both Ford and Kavanaugh could reasonably believe they are telling the truth.

For him to torture Kavanaugh & family out of spite for Trump would be irrational, no matter what Trump did to him.  Considering the amount of grief a NO vote will bring on himself, the payout (or threat) has to be substantial.  We know it isn't based in principle.  Flake's lifetime ACU rating is 93.

I say that IMMEDIATELY prior to voting to confirm....while their asses are seated, Judge Brett Kavanaugh should be allowed to give his closing statement.  ...he's representing himself, and he's no fool.

Then, let every American see where their Senators stand. Democrat and Republican alike.   This has been a global disgrace to get this far.

REMEMBER :  how the Obama administration passed the Affordable Care Act?  In the dead of night, with locks changed.

It was Chris Coons, friend of Flake, who got him pulled aside to reconsider.

Chris Coons is in there because idiot voters in Delaware and donors around the country pumped in money to support a terrible candidate known as Christine O'Donnell just because she had a pretty face and parroted the conservative line.  Everyone knew she'd get blown away, of course, but she got record donations from around the country.  And so, instead of a marginal GOP vote, we got far-left Chris Coons entrenched in that seat.

So not only did we have what would probably have been a YES vote turned into a NO vote, but we had someone who twisted Flake.

Then you have Akin giving the seat to a Dem in 2012.

And, of course, Roy Moore.


I hope this is a reminder to find good candidates, not just go for ideology.

I had thought I might reconsider my pledge to stay home in November if the Republicans had the balls to get this nomination done and say the H with you to the Dem whiners.  Instead, the Republicans true to form caved to the Democrats and are going to let them sink the nomination as was their plan all along. I wouldn't be surprised if McConnell and maybe Grassley are in league with the Democrats and were only putting on a show to entertain Republican voters.  That's all the  doings in DC are now -- show.  They don't really give a [expletive] for the voters -- their employers.

Red Nation Rising is reporting on their Twitter feed that the IP address of the person that doxxed the Senators yesterday traces back to the Legislative Affairs director for Maxine Waters.

Be very suspicious when you read reports of an IP being traced back to XXX.

It certainly wasn't traced back to the director's office.  All IPs coming from that "building" would be the same (building isn't a precise term, but close enough to get the point across).

It could be traced back to the director's home, if sent from there, and if the ISP was willing to share.  And of course if someone didn't simply fake it, which is probably second in likelyhood to reporter making stuff up.

Boston Event featuring Jeff Flake moved amid security concerns

A panel discussion featuring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in Boston next week has been moved due to security concerns amid a contentious battle to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Flake was confronted by sexual assault survivors at the Capitol on Friday after he said he would vote to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Flake is appearing Monday at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Boston to discuss the future of the Republican Party.

He's upset a lot of people. Anyone making threats, acting illegally in the political environment, should be punished to the maximum allowed by the law and I mean that. Threats, invading someone's office, chasing someone out of a restaurant. All of this uncivil behavior. I'm pro-life but I'm not going to chain myself to the doors of an abortion clinic.

Jesuit Publication Retracts Kavanaugh Endorsement, Says Nomination Should Be Pulled

Quote from: article

The nomination of a textualist judge is the proper move in order to potentially reverse decisions like Roe v. Wade and hand the abortion issue back to the states "where it belongs given the Constitution’s silence on the matter," according to the editors. They add, however, that Brett Kavanaugh is not that judge, given the current circumstances.

Odd considering Kavanaugh wasn't close to the strongest candidate on abortion. Even suggesting it was "settled law"....

WHERE WE STAND ON JUDGE KAVANAUGH'S NOMINATION:

I have repeatedly said Judge Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most highly qualified people who has ever been nominated to serve on the Supreme Court. I doubt any person nominated to the Court has ever been looked at as closely as Judge Kavanaugh.

I personally know all I need to know about this fine man who is incredibly capable and qualified.

I am ready to vote on his nomination now.

Having said that, I respect my colleagues who have requested the supplemental FBI investigation, which will be limited in scope and time. It can be done quickly and then we will be able to move forward to an up-or-down vote in the Senate next week.

I’ve never felt better about the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh than I do right now.

The FBI wrapped up the Anita Hill investigation in 3 days.  Let's just hope they keep it to the scope of the baseless Ford allegations and wrap this one up quickly also./

I don't know all of the legalese but it seems the members of the Alabama Supreme Court removed Moore.

Removal:

Quote

The next day, the COJ issued a unanimous opinion ruling that "Chief Justice Moore has violated the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics as alleged by the JIC in its complaint." The COJ had several disciplinary options, including censure or suspension without pay, but because Moore's responses had indicated he would defy any similar court orders in the future, the COJ concluded that "under these circumstances, there is no penalty short of removal from office that would resolve this issue."[49] Moore was immediately removed from his post.

Quote

On August 14, Moore announced his intention to defy Judge Thompson's order to have the monument removed. Two days later, large rallies in support of Moore and the Ten Commandments monument formed in front of the judicial building, featuring speakers such as Alan Keyes, the Reverend Jerry Falwell, and Moore himself. The crowd peaked at an estimated count of 4,000 that day,[43] and anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand protesters remained through the end of August.

The time limit for removal expired on August 20, with the monument still in place in the building's rotunda. As specified in Judge Thompson's order, the state of Alabama faced fines of $5,000 a day until the monument was removed. In response, the eight other members of the Alabama Supreme Court intervened on August 21, unanimously overruled Moore, and ordered the removal of the monument.[44]

Moore said that Thompson, "fearing that I would not obey his order, decided to threaten other state officials and force them to remove the monument if I did not do so. A threat of heavy fines was his way of coercing obedience to that order," an action that Moore saw as a violation of the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution.[24]

On August 27, the monument was moved to a non-public side room in the judicial building.[45] The monument was not immediately removed from the building for several reasons—pending legal hearings, the monument's weight, worries that the monument could break through the floor if it was taken outside intact, and a desire to avoid confrontation with protesters massed outside the structure. The monument was not actually removed from the state judicial building until July 19, 2004.[46]

Once Moore got the nomination,  they should have been behind him.  If you don't like him, simply primary him out next time,  but the time to get rid of Moore was in the primary and it didn't happen.  But you never reward a Democrat for GOP stupidity, no matter what.

This has been part of the problem for years. Both parties are always concerned with optics and positioning for the next election. They rarely do something based on their stated principles.  It's why people are so frustrated with their representatives.

No argument there.  But until they lose their glass testicles, what do you suggest they do?  Otherwise our only recourse is at the ballot box.

Hopefully Trump won't have anything to do with it.  I hope a pitchforked angry mob of voters will flood the ballot bax resulting  in a +2 or +3 increase in the GOP senate lead.  With Flake gone, and Collins and Murcowski nuetralized........   The dems won't be able to do a damn thing against any Trump nominee.

But this story, well, at least, it's not violent like the  Vegas shooting.... it's a horrible thing to do to an individual, to do to Kavanaugh... this has to be the story of the year of 2018, it's riveting.

Now, to the Hatch letter:

According to Dr. Ford, she would have preferred to have been interviewed in California, away from the spectacle of a public hearing. But her lawyers apparently refused to convey to their client numerous offers by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to conduct a public or private interview in the location of her choosing. The lawyers' refusal led directly to a public hearing, against Dr. Ford's express wishes. This is deeply troubling.

Emboldened part per Townhall article.

Not arguing with you either, surely they must have represented her some, as a client at that hearing, sitting next to her, advising her. That must have made them, at least, de facto lawyers of hers in that instance.

But I get where you are coming from if you are asserting the lawyers she was with were paid by somebody else but I believe, they still issued statements for her, "We want an FBI investigation" and things like that.

Surely, Senator Hatch is not wrong in calling them "Her Lawyers".

If this above is true according to Sen.

You would think that in even sitting with Dr. Ford at a hearing, this must be some sort of formality itself that says, this IS her legal representation. Maybe there are even forms to fill out. It's not like she could just bring in two people from the street to sit with her, I would not think.

No.  Not unless it was set up that way from the beginning.  If they asked her to hire them while saying that some benefactor was paying the bills, then perhaps.  But I seriously doubt that is how it went down.  They are clearly working for an outside interest and are dragging her along for the ride.

Orrin Hatch called them "Her Lawyers", he might be wrong. Also on that committee are Mike Lee, Ted Cruz. Ben Sasse, Lindsay Graham, former judge,  all keen legal minds, now, these last 3 did not directly comment on this that I know of. But it does seem that Orrin Hatch did.  This is the Judiciary Committee after all.

A key phrase, might be "Legal Representation", did they give her legal representation and does that constitute being her lawyers?

I don't disbelieve what anyone says but I will tend to lean on what Senator Hatch's words were and I would tend to think he is not misinformed on the issue.

Gregg Jarrett: In Kavanaugh battle, are Ford's lawyers representing her, or the Democrats?

Gregg Jarrett

Professor Christine Blasey Ford – who has accused Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her some 36 years ago – may well have been betrayed and victimized by her own attorneys, who are Democratic activists with a record of fierce opposition to President Trump.

As a result, the attorneys ostensibly representing Ford may have breached their client’s trust and violated their ethical responsibility to act in her best interests. They may instead be motivated primarily by a desire to block President Trump’s appointment of a conservative justice to the nation’s highest court. An investigation of their conduct is warranted to determine if this is the case.

Kavanaugh has strongly denied Ford’s claim that he groped her, tried unsuccessfully to take off her clothes, and covered her mouth to stop her from screaming when the two were high school students. “I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing Thursday.

It's obvious why I think Ford is a liar. She has no proof...no witnesses that say they were even at this "party". Her little girl voice and demeanor are a give away.  If something traumatized me so deeply that it ruined my life...you better believe I would remember when, where and every detail.
I think she is emotionally fragile and more that a little bit coo-coo,

Judge K started out strong. His opening statement was powerful. But as questioning went on, he quit answering directly. Could be a lawyer thing. I don't know.

Agreed.  That republicans have not yet acknowledged that - the *fact* that democrats, liberals, progressives are not dealing honestly and will never deal honestly - indicates that republicans are at best naive.  It's long past time to stop trying to "reach across the aisle" and "find common ground."  It's long past time that republicans struck to create an advantage and then maintained that initiative.

I didn't support Trump during the nominating contest and I'm still not a Trump supporter, although I can support some of the policies his administration has pursued.  But for establishment republicans to not see that their rank and file are fed up with being played like fools is just incomprehensible.  Trump won the nomination because the republican base is angry, and he embodied that anger.

No matter the outcome of any additional investigations, the democrats will argue it against Kavanaugh.  Republicans need to acknowledge this and stop offering deals.  People like Flake, Collins, and Murkowski should be primaried *by the party* to end this nonsense.

GOP-hired prosecutor questions credibility of Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford

Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, who was hired by Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans to question Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford during the committee's hearing into allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh, questioned the credibility of her accusations and called the case "weak" in her assessment of Ford's allegations.

In a memo to Senate Republicans, Mitchell details nine main points she says raise questions about the credibility of Ford's account. She concludes no prosecutor would bring the case, nor is the evidence sufficient to prevail even in a civil trial.

"In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A "he said, she said" case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that," wrote Mitchell.

https://ariseletusbegoing.com/2018/09/29/mrs-kavanaughs-request-psalm-40/ (https://ariseletusbegoing.com/2018/09/29/mrs-kavanaughs-request-psalm-40/)

One translation, NIV I believe: https://www.biblestudytools.com/psalms/40.html (https://www.biblestudytools.com/psalms/40.html) One can use their own Bible or translation, many are found on the internet.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

---------------

On to other, it sounded like on Fox yesterday, they said there are likely 49 yes votes at this point. They did not seem to be counting the fence-sitters, including Manchin in West Virginia and even McCaskill in Missouri. Both of these two Ds are in hotly contested Senate races.

I got that email request yesterday from a friend.  I kind of take this whole thing personally, since Mrs. Kavanaugh and I attended the same school and her family still lives here.

If this was posted already, just posting again in this thread. I did not know she detailed 9 points that make Dr. Ford not look credible.

The two I recall off the top of my head is the fact she claims she is terrified of flying yet she flies everywhere for business and pleasure and the fact her friend she claims was there at the Country Club when the assault allegedly happened doesn't even know Kavanaugh.

In addition she says that the polygraph took a really long time and yet the person who administered the test only asked her two questions.

Here’s what I’d like to know, so did she date Squi before, during or after the alleged attack?

Why?

If she dated him before, why was she still hanging out with them (this is the only scenarios that makes ANY sense.

If she was dating Squi at the time of the attack, we are to believe that Kavanaugh and Judge attempted to rape their friend’s girlfriend...WHILE HE WAS THERE?  Anyone who believes that has not spent much time around human males.

If she dated him after the incident, why would she decide to start dating a guy who was close friend with the alleged assailants?

Agreed.  That republicans have not yet acknowledged that - the *fact* that democrats, liberals, progressives are not dealing honestly and will never deal honestly - indicates that republicans are at best naive.  It's long past time to stop trying to "reach across the aisle" and "find common ground."  It's long past time that republicans struck to create an advantage and then maintained that initiative.

I didn't support Trump during the nominating contest and I'm still not a Trump supporter, although I can support some of the policies his administration has pursued.  But for establishment republicans to not see that their rank and file are fed up with being played like fools is just incomprehensible.  Trump won the nomination because the republican base is angry, and he embodied that anger.

No matter the outcome of any additional investigations, the democrats will argue it against Kavanaugh.  Republicans need to acknowledge this and stop offering deals.  People like Flake, Collins, and Murkowski should be primaried *by the party* to end this nonsense.

That's how it's been for me as well.  They set the baseline then they have a series of questions that are asked specific to the case.

Trump Wins Ted Cruz's Vote With Supreme Court List
Todd Ruger

Updated 5:15 p.m. | Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s endorsement of Donald Trump came only hours after the Republican presidential nominee had put his friend and colleague Utah Sen. Mike Lee on a list of potential Supreme Court picks.

And even though Lee had expressed disinterest in being included on Trump’s list Friday, the potential court pick was a central part of Cruz’s reasoning for changing gears and backing Trump.

In a Facebook post, Cruz said the Supreme Court hangs in the balance in the election. He said Lee “would make an extraordinary justice” and cited Trump’s “explicit commitment” to nominate only from “a very strong” list of 21 potential nominees.

https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-court-lee (https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-court-lee)

I find nothing that says Ted Cruz put Kavanaugh's name on the list of nominees for Trump.

Title: Re: LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing
Post by: TomSea on October 02, 2018, 03:18:32 pm

I see nothing that Cruz put Kavanaugh's name on a list of jurists for Trump, maybe he did for Romney, he endorsed Romney. Until there is backup, I will think otherwise.

We know Ted Cruz invented the Constitution and the idea for a borderwall, but I would like to see backup for this.

We have 2 people who are known to make anti-Trump statements saying this.

Again, it's easy to see Kavanaugh was already on Romney's list in 2012.  No problem finding backup on that.

If anything Kavanaugh could call up the name of Bush 43, who the other day, urged Kavanaugh's nomination. That is where there is a clear connection.

Kavanaugh's name did not appear on Trump's original list of 11 nor on his expanded list of 21.  It was long after the election (after meetings with Cruz) that Kavanaugh's name was added.

The ten September 2016 additions (including Mike Lee) may have won Cruz's support in November.  But Cruz's influence after the election is what gave us Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh was left off the original list of 21 in part because his jurisdiction is Washington, D.C., and Trump was elected as an outsider. When Trump's first two lists were released last year, totaling 21 names, they tilted heavily toward judges from "red" states, including many state Supreme Court judges with no federal court experience.

Absolutely essential. 

What is happening to Kavanaugh is unprecedented, but every nominee going forward needs to expect this kind of assault on truth.

Updated 5:15 p.m. | Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s endorsement of Donald Trump came only hours after the Republican presidential nominee had put his friend and colleague Utah Sen. Mike Lee on a list of potential Supreme Court picks.

And even though Lee had expressed disinterest in being included on Trump’s list Friday, the potential court pick was a central part of Cruz’s reasoning for changing gears and backing Trump.

In a Facebook post, Cruz said the Supreme Court hangs in the balance in the election. He said Lee “would make an extraordinary justice” and cited Trump’s “explicit commitment” to nominate only from “a very strong” list of 21 potential nominees.

https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-court-lee (https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-court-lee)

I find nothing that says Ted Cruz put Kavanaugh's name on the list of nominees for Trump.

Here are the ten names that were added in Sept 2016:

• Mike Lee
• Neil Gorsuch
• Margaret Ryan
• Edward Mansfield
• Keith Blackwell
• Charles Canady
• Timothy Tymkovich
• Amul Thapar
• Frederico Moreno
• Robert Young

Still no Kavanaugh on Trump's list.

One year after the election, the White House 25 names on "Donald Trump's Supreme Court List (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trumps-supreme-court-list/)".  The five names added to that list from 14 months prior are:

• Amy Coney Barrett
• Britt Grant
• Brett Kavanaugh
• Kevin Newsom
• Patrick Wyrick

Now sure, you can argue that there is no record of Ted Cruz penning in Kavanaugh's name on the 2017 list.  But one thing is clear.  Sometime during a 14-month period where Cruz and Trump held private meetings more than once, the names of five staunch Conservatives found their way onto that list.  So clearly, someone other than Trump was able to influence the selection process by diluting the moderate sway of the original 11 with the addition of judges who are to the right of Scalia.

Personally, I am grateful to Conservatives like Ted Cruz who have been able to project a strong Conservative influence on the process, and who have persevered over the unjust attacks of Trump sycophants - attacks that are no different than the ones Kavanaugh faces today.  And because of that, we now have a Neil Gorsuch (not on Trump's original list) on the court, and the possibility of a Kavanaugh, a Mike Lee, and/or a Amy Barrett joining him.

God bless Ted Cruz.

No proof, say all of the flowery words one wants.

Just like saying Dr. Ford's lawyers, her counsel, er, aren't her counsel.  Er, lawyers, confusing isn't it.

At least, honesty reigned. Kavanaugh was a selection by Romney, Romney met with Trump, Kavanaugh was in the Ken Starr investigation on Bill Clinton, Kavanaugh was in the Bush administration.

Oh, but like the Border Wall and the Constitution, another thing that Ted Cruz invented.  Maybe next time, we can revisit some of the landmark legislation he passed or representing Obamacare in the private sector, the list goes on.

I think these two met as well. Kavanaugh was on Mitt's list as far back as 2012. So, purely unsubstantiated... not only that, how many DC politicians are in Trump's administration,

Ever hear of Jeff Sessions? Also, a lot of people keep track on this, I know, Ted Cruz invented the Constitution and the Wall from what one can read per some.... Jeff Sessions is AG now, think he could have had any input to that? Doh. Maybe even Steve Bannon knows about this, Newt Gingrich know Trump and the Clinton investigation with Ken Starr?

That's beautiful and all.  Yet it was only after Trump met with Cruz that Kavanaugh's name appeared on the list.

No, it was only after Mitt Romney met him, it was only after Jeff Sessions became AG, it was only after Newt Gingrich met Trump.

Lindsay Graham and the list goes on and on. It can't be proven, might as well say anything.

Again, too, if one didn't support Trump, it's hard to hand this to any anti-Trump glory hunters.

That's a beautiful story, the amen corner will support whatever flowery language comes out but it is not proven and I see no reason to believe it is specifically one man over others.

I'm not going to hunt for dates, nobody faults anyone for going with that and it may be so but it would be too difficult to find out.

The thread is about justice.

For the way Anti-Trumpers act, they should be held to their words that never would have seen this nomination made and hypocritically taking a victory lap over it.

Let me get this straight here.  Even though Ted Cruz has focused on the Courts in pushing the Conservative agenda with a history of arguing cases before the Supreme Court as well as a history of influencing Trump's judge list (by your own admission), it is really Mitt "Romneycare" Romney and Noot "Wilsonian Progressive" Gingrich that deserve the credit for getting Kavanaugh's name on that list.

Oh, I guess, making Jeff Sessions the Attorney General means he had no input as well.

Oh, and I guess New Gingrich is not a lawyer with experience with the Supreme Court and I don't know about Romney but he did run a government.


BWAAAHAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA !!!!!

Bring on the humiliation "Rabid Rabbit Holes" per @Sanguine too. Like I said, some of you all are not Cruz supporters because when his support of Trump comes about, total amnesia.

Romney had his list of potential nominees in September 2012 which already caused rumblings from Planned Parenthood and Pro-Choicers,  but let's get this straight, though Kavanaugh was on that list, Romney never would have discussed this with Trump??

BWAAAHAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA !!!!!

Let alone, we know advisors have worked on various campaigns... can't deny that.

Ever hear of this 3 term (or how many terms) Senator Jeff Sessions, Attorney General, oh, let's get this straight, he knows nothing about who would make a good Supreme Court Justice nominee, even though he probably voted for them time and again!  May have been on that judicial committee as well.

Says the person who whines about Lincoln incessantly which basically or possibly comes down to de facto support of slavery.

No, again, @mrpotatohead  , shouldn't take a victory lap if he was anti-Trump,

Yeah, you Cruz worshipers and idolaters, did you support Romney?
Did you support Trump?

If both of those answers are no, then you are a hypocrit and you are who is anti-Cruz.

Cruz did both, go save your slander for someone else.
