    No it's not a criminal court, it is the court of public opinion and with so many people innocent until proven guilty goes out the window, especially if the person is a Republican. All too often people's lives are ruined simply with an accusation without any corroboration or proof. Just because some woman accuses this man of an assault from over 30 years ago without any supporting facts, it's supposed to mean he is not worthy of sitting on the supreme court? Granted, what if he did do it, but too many people ignore the other side of the coin what if he didn't do it? I think we as decent humans should look at all who are accused of anything as innocent until at least enough facts are present to assume ones guilt.

    For the record, here's Andy pretending to care.

    While he now admits that he doesn't care about accusations of sexual assault.

    So what?

    That was then, this is NOW.:bored:

    And, just like everyone else:

    I reserve the right to change my mind at any time (day to day, or even hour to hour).

    I think a more salient question would be:

    Why are you dredging up something (in a long dead thread) from 20 Months Ago?:bored:

    Puzzling.:smh:

    (Although, I must admit, I do find it flattering when people commit every keystroke of my posting history to their memory bank).

    When it comes to sexual assault, Democrats change their mind based on politics. Their believe all women line was BS. They only believe accusers who help them politically.

    It's what we've been saying about Democrats for years and why women should be wary about working for or being around Democrat men.

    Exactly. That was then, this is now.

    Doubles standards. Hypocrisy.

    More honestly:
    Kavanaugh is a Republican, Biden is a Democrat.

    Thank you for helping to demonstrate the fraud that is #metoo.

    I agree with your second statement, however:

    I just don't see where you say Ford sounds credible. She claimed to have witnesses and NONE were able to confirm her story. None, Nada, Zip. Reade now has 5 people including court papers in a divorce that talk about her assault, doesn't prove it is was Joe but certainly makes her story a thousand times more credible than Fords.

    Ford has also always been a vehement supporter of abortion, she feared Kavenaugh as well as she is a lifelong democrat making unsubstantiated claims against a Republican, no cause for concern? Reade is a lifelong democrat making claims against a democrat. I am not saying "yet" that we should all believe Reade, but I am saying that after all this time and watching the hearings I just cannot believe Ford at all. I think her testimony was for sale and she made out like a bandit.

    What if there was an extraterrestrial able to morph his appearance to look like a human and selecting Ford out because he also was a time traveler and was trying to alter the future?

    How did she come off as genuine, and credible when there were glaring contradictions in her testimony, and every witness she named refuted ever knowing Kavanugh, or being at a party with her?

    Anyways it was a quick evolution. Now we're back to never believe the woman.

    That's the fast track to never believe the woman. You can't turn back from it.
