No way? You can see no way that hundreds of character witnesses outweigh this story that has more holes than not?
You are all in.
We will see what happens before the day ends. Right now, though, I don't see any way Flake or the 2 female Senators vote in favor of Kavanaugh.
Right now. As in...at this very moment.
You are also all in. On the opposite side.
so, is she answering questions "under oath"....just wondering.
Fake news. If there was any evidence I would say off with his head. There isn’t. Just a couple of scum bag lawyers and nutty dem senators. Are you even Listening to this lady?
I fully think that she 100% believes that she is telling the truth - regardless if it is actually factually correct.Yup. She appears to be telling the truth.

Too complex to answer for himself?
I'm not watching, but if you were Kavanaugh and facing 20 years in prison based off her testimony, should you be found guilty?
that's because you're tainted....!!Haven’t watched...just here to say the required burden of proof for a criminal conviction is MUCH higher than my personal burden of proof required to decide not to appoint someone on the highest court in the land.
Easy. Because you saying that her telling the truth is that her account is factual. I think that's crap.@Ostatedchi
Why did you like this post while also posting this?
Read her story like it's an accusation against you.

I'm a little surprised that you feel there's a moral litmus test to be confirmed at all
it's ok to be tainted...we're all tainted. What I was saying is that if you had vote on this your vote was decided a long time ago...there are no facts to determine guilt or innocence...it's a judgement call based on peripheral information. I've got to wait for the whole story to come out and it probably won't happen with this brief interview or whatever it is. This thing now rests with Cavanaugh's statements...that will determine everything. He doesn't seem to be the type of guy who can pull this off. And, btw, this whole thing doesn't pass the sniff test but the boulder is already rolling down the mountain so it doesn't matter.Nope.
That’s because I understand the proper application of burdens of proof in civil situations vs. criminal situations.
I’ve not hired....hell, I’ve fired...people for suspicions of misconduct that I couldn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
And I was perfectly justified legally and morally in doing so.
Yeah, it's kind of hard for me to differentiate that when he has been portrayed as some serial rapist.Haven’t watched...just here to say the required burden of proof for a criminal conviction is MUCH higher than my personal burden of proof required to decide not to appoint someone on the highest court in the land.

My post saying that she believes her crap is different from your stance.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. I didn’t claim that there’s a moral litmus test to be confirmed. I do think a person’s character is a valid consideration in deciding whether someone should be appointed though. (Revised to say that I now see what you meant by that when I talked about my personal burden of proof....yes, I think there is a certain minimum level of good character, truthfulness, and respect for fellow human beings and the law that would factor into a personal decision whether or not to confirm).
TC asked if someone could convict him on the evidence being presented.
I pointed out that’s irrelevant to the question of whether he should be appointed or not.
That’s all I did.
That was a pretty misleading statement by you then if that was the point you were trying to make.I said, "she appears to be telling the truth". I did not say that her account is factual.
The only question here is whether or not the Senators on the fence will believe her story. If they think she is more credible than Kav, they are not likely to push him through.
This he said/she said could all be avoided by getting Mark Judge and other individuals to share testimony.
The "details" of Dr. Ford's victimization are so "seared" into her memory that the searing created a giant black hole through which all of the actual details disappeared.
Amazing.

He and all the others have sworn under oath they have no memory or knowledge of this incident.This he said/she said could all be avoided by getting Mark Judge and other individuals to share testimony.
