LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing

[LauraTXNM]

It is worse than people not caring, the Democrats have made 'sexual assault' into a joke. A 17 year old boy is going to be charged with sexual assault while drinking at a high-school party, now that he is over 50 years old? Really? And we are expected to take this seriously? Come on man...the whole thing is beyond silly. It is stupid beyond belief.

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.

Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!

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.

[LauraTXNM]

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)."

I'm watching Leahey speak to reporters. Is he drunk?

I also feel sorry for the true victims of sexual assault.

Oh, goodie.  I, for one, am waiting with baited breath.

It might be fun sport to have Cruz question her though...

Lindsey Graham, Orrin Hatch, and Mike Lee were all targeted and doxxed with their information published on Wikipedia while they were speaking during the Kavanaugh hearing.

A source I just spoke with explained Orrin's wife has been receiving nonstop calls and it's her birthday.

Supposedly the doxing started after Graham's great speech- from a House of Representatives computer.

@Right_in_Virginia  Then here you go: 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.

Do you disagree with Judge Kavanaugh's analysis?  Why did he choose to go there today?

[Silver Pines]

@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.

Come on..don't start putting adjudicated cases on this thread..start a new one if you like

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.

[Silver Pines]

    That's Absurd.

@corbe

No, I mean he'll end up with a huge percent of the vote because people are enraged.

Thanks for providing the thread! It was a great help in trying to follow along with what was happening, while my access to live TV was limited.

[Silver Pines]

Kamala asking if Kav took a lie detector. Going for an FBI investigation. I'm going to ask you one more time will you ask the WH to have an FBI investigation.

Kav the FBI gathers witness statements. Kamala- I don't want to argue with you.

Kamala yes or no.

That bitch is raising money off a "STOP KAVANAUGH" Twitter campaign.
