    Another democrat Coup, another democrat failure. Lying comes so easy to democrats, its a way of life for them.

    One of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accusers admitted this week that she made up her lurid tale of a backseat car rape, saying it “was a tactic” to try to derail the judge’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

    Sen. Charles E. Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee revealed the fraud in a letter to the FBI and Justice Department Friday, asking them to prosecute Judy Munro-Leighton for lying to and obstructing Congress.

    Mr. Grassley said Ms. Munro-Leighton is a left-wing activist who hijacked another “Jane Doe” anonymous report about a backseat rape and claimed it as her own story, calling it a “vicious assault.”

    Women make up false rape accusations all the time. It's as old as the story of Joseph in the Bible.

    And it doesn't do true rape victims any good.

    There can be a myriad of different motivating reasons women can have to lie. It can be for money, to get a man removed out of their life and out of their home, or to ruin a man's life out of anger and hate. Sometimes when a man leaves a woman, she'll accuse him of rape out of spite. Because she is so deeply hurt and rejected, or because the man "played" her and, in her emotional state, she feels she has no other recourse.

    Then, once a woman claims rape, it's not easy to retract her testimony, and she has to "follow through" with the allegations to avoid revealing she lied and getting in trouble.

    In the MeToo era, women have been accusing rich and powerful men to try to "pull them down", or provide collaborating testimony to other women who claimed they were raped, to "support them", "women pulling together", "make sure a man does not get off the hook because there's not enough evidence". And of course the very real potentiality of collecting a large legal settlement from the accused, if they drop their allegations.

    Hopefully, many of the democrat voters who are close to the center will realize that the party just isn't what it used to be.

    She should be arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law.

    That whole facade was a warm up to Ukraine. You see, you don't need stinking evidence anymore. You don't need cross examinations or accurate testimony. Just hide your witnesses in a quasi closed door disposition, coach them up and selectively release the bits that are good.

    And then try miserably to cover up that corruption by saying they're "defending from Republicans!". As Kavanaugh said, they had sought to "seek and destroy".

    But it's all coming back home to roost. Like Trump said, gobble it up and keep on keeping on with the mistakes. Don't debate Trump, just try to smear your way out of it.

    I'm surprised she came forward and admitted her lies, very surprised, but she has so lock her up. This sort of behaviour is absolutely disgraceful and shameful.

    You can't punish her too much though. Otherwise witnesses in these situations will never come forward and admit they lied.
    That's the inherent dilemma.

    As unfair as it is, women who falsely accuse men of rape and then are later found out to have been lying, are sentenced to only a small fraction of the prison time the man would have got.
    Again, you can't punish them too much otherwise in many cases the truth may never come out. And of course the small but existent risk that some woman might get wrongly punished when she was actually telling the truth. They don't want to do too much that might discourage real rape victims from coming forward, as the process of justice is sometimes imperfect.

    And this clearly does demonstrate one of the reasons why the crime of rape usually has a statute of limitations.

    Sorry, but I don't agree. There is too much of this happening nowadays, especially politically, and it should bear stiff penalties. Perhaps it might dissuade them from potentially trying to ruin someone else's life.

    Are you saying that the Republican Party has moved further to the right than the Democratic Party has moved to the left?

    The Bible had a different view, of course. It said that the false accuser should get whatever punishment the man would have gotten.

    (I assume this is presuming the evidence didn't come from the false accuser admitting she lied herself, though)

    "Radical right wing" today is where the Democratic Party was in the 70s.

    Trump would have been considered a moderate 20 years ago.

    Don't you think we should save some punishment for if she had not admitted the truth and was later proved by evidence to have been lying?
    It might "dissuade them from lying", but it might also dissuade them from eventually coming forward and telling the truth after they were lying.

    So that's really a double-edged sword, unfortunately.

    I'm glad to see she finally had the courage to come forward and admit she was lying. She probably didn't need to do that, and they would have never been able to prove it was a lie.

    Lying about "rape" needs to carry the same penalty...full stop.

    It's exactly what the liar, intended for the mark.

    She finally came forward and admitted she was lying.

    On her own accord, of her own volition, when she didn't need to do that.

    If they were about to uncover the fact that she was lying, it might be a different story.

    Fast back, in our political climate today they are considered heros, the ends justify the means to smear the heck out of people,..Clarence Thomas and kavanaugh.

    They are so afraid of over turning Roe Vs. Wade..they dont care

    Every thing I read, and even some posters on this board (I am not Oliver) confirmed smearing a Supreme court justice was all about Roe vs Wade

    I can't respond to that blanket emotional statement without getting into semantics.
