Feinstein releases statement about Kavanaugh nomination and secret letter.

There you go Fred!

 

I am a Libertarian and voted for Governors Johnson and Weld. Not a leftist at all. I just don't trust this guy Kavanaugh to be anything other than GOP tool on the court. I hope he gets Borked.

 

And where in her inconsistent statements do you see the kind of credibility that would lead you to believe that?

 

Exactly, and this issue showed up before the conformation was complete so it should be investigated for veracity by the FBI. What's the big hurry here? McConnell stalled for a year before replacing Scalia.

 

I want to see a full hearing with witnesses and everything. Hey at least thisobvious political hack is getting a hearing. He has been shown far more courtesy than Judge Garland was ever shown. Time to slow this thing down and make sure we get it right. What's the big hurry all of a sudden?

 

Okay... what you said didn’t really address what I said as most of your posts don’t seem to address most of what anyone here says... and then you go off on these bizarre rants on some people... but... you do you man. Have a good one. I’m out.

 

On what evidence are you basing that conclusion?

Just admit what we all know: You're just a partisan hack here. Your opinion of his guilt is based entirely on his politics, not on the facts.

 

I dont understand the lack of hate directed towards Dianne Feinstein. She has this letter burning a hole in her pocket that accuses Kav of sexual improprieties if only she had sometime to question him about them! Alas she waits till the hearings over to send this to fbi putting the most amount of scrunity on a person alleging to have been assaulted...... Not cool

 

Yeah. OK. Your problem is there are no witnesses - and I don't mean that in the sense that the assault never happened (which it didn't). By her own admission, Ford doesn't remember anyone else who was there.

What should Congress do? Subpoena everyone who lived in Maryland and went to a party at any time in the early 80's to testify?

What hurry? He has been announced for months and this confirmation has been going on for weeks.

 

From what I know about this woman and especially after she invited an FBI investigation into her accusation, I tend to believe her. I might be partisan against these new Trump style looney Republicans, yes. But I am not trying to con my way into the Supreme Court as an unbaised arbiter of the truth like Kavanaugh is.

 

What would they 'investigate' that they haven't already investigated? The man has been thoroughly investigated six times already! But, no, neither the FBI nor any other organization can investigate the weird, unprovable recollections of some troubled college teacher who had her revelations about Kavanaugh while being "counseled" six years ago.

Think! THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO, there wasn't any DNA testing methodology. And since Blasey Ford has no 'dried semen' or any other evidence -- AND -- since the Statute of Limitations would have expired decades ago anyway, even if there had been some 'sex-crime', what would the FBI 'investigate' today...? A bunch of infantile "he said/she said" nonsense from a teenagers' high school party?!

With the passing of each day we see more and more clearly that this is nothing but a cheap, rotten delaying tactic -- a desperate "Hail Mary" pass to a political 'end-zone' where Dianne Feinstein and her dirty, unscrupulous Democrat mob hope to be able to destroy an innocent man and his very justifiable future career as a Justice on the Supreme Court! Someday, there will be a price to pay for this despicable, manifestly evil Democrat ploy , which now rivals that of an overflowing GUT BUCKET.

 

while I see your line of logic and can't completely disagree, all of what you wrote depends solely on whether or not republicans cave to the pressure seeings how they are in charge. I for one hope they finally stop caving they have been doing it far too long and its past time to try a new method..... Worse case scenario is they get voted out

 

Like the Dude said to the Big Lebowski....New **** has come to light, man....

 

I know you are upset Pollycy, and I don't think you are a bad guy. But I really like this Ford deal. I really think the guy did it and he is not my idea of an unbaised Supreme Court Justice. He is an obvious GOP lackey and hatchet man. He should get a job at Fox News but not on the SCOTUS.

 

That's not evidence. That's just you believing her because she's a liberal and he's a conservative.

Fact is you have no evidence and your opinion is based on nothing but partisanship. You know it, I know it.

 

I would only ask you what made you form this opinion of Brett Kavanaugh? What did he do to make you believe that he is "an obvious GOP lackey and hatchet man"? Something that the man has done must have brought you to these conclusions, and I sincerely can not imagine what it could be.

I certainly don't want someone to be a Supreme Court Justice who flatly should NOT be there. That's why I have objected so strongly to both Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan ever being put on the SCOTUS by ex-prez Obama. But I cannot imagine what Kavanaugh has done to bring this avalanche of unsupported, unproven allegations against him by Democrats -- with the purpose of destroying him!

 

She is asking the FBI to investigate and perhaps find EVIDENCE that she is telling the truth. Fact is you have no evidence that Kavanaugh did not try to rape this broad, do you? This is a lifetime appointment sir. It's better to spend a little more time and effort to get to the bottom of this deal so that all of the US Senators can make a more informed decision. You wouldn't want a pu$$y grabber sitting on the Supreme Court for life, or would you?

 

Im new here...ive been lurking for awhile but this fiasco with kav got me upset enough to finally post. I would say the answer by democrats would be his involvement withth bush. Personally though i dont think thats a good answer because all judges left or right are tied to someone the oppostion would disagree with

 

Yes and Thomased but we know what happened with those phony charges. And BTW the Starr Special Counsel office was not the GOP. She is refusing to testify or to be interviewed. The three people who she claim witnessed it ALL say they witnessed no such thing. She can't even say where it happened, when it happened, how she even got to this party or how she even got home from it. No one has come forth and said she told them contemporaneously in happened. There are fundamental flaws in what she has said, her age, the number of people who she alleges witnessed it. People who do engage in such behaviors usually have histories of repetition, there is NOTHING to indicate that. So why do you believe her and not him? What is the premise of that believe? What causes you to believe that? What is so overwhelmingly conclusive that you want to ruin this man's life and deny him a position on the SCOTUS?

 

How the heck is the FBI supposed to find evidence of an alleged assault when she:

A) Doesn't know what year it took place
B) Doesn't know where it took place
C) Never spoke about it to anyone for 3 decades
D) Doesn't remember the identities of anyone else present.

Sorry not sorry, but this is the United States of America. That is not how it works here (or in any civilized society). In the civilized world, people do not have to prove their innocence when faced with baseless accusations. They are given the presumption of innocence unless proven otherwise. Heck, I'm not even asking for proof here. I'd settle for just a shred of legit evidence but, by your own admission, you have none.

You would fit in very well in North Korea. Might I suggest you move there?

We are spending more time and effort. The confirmation vote has been pushed back a week. No need to push it back any further since nothing will change no matter how long you wait.

 

Ahhh you mean the one person who wrote the letter to the NYT saying everyone knew about it and she knows it happened and then at the end of her letter she tells the media she will not give any interviews or further statements as she has no first hand knowledge of any events? And Ford said in all these years she never told anyone about not then not late. So how could "everyone know about it" if she didn't tell anyone.

 

I actually read about that story on the National Review(It's a pretty solid paper for being a conservative outlet.) and my thoughts were the same as they are now: Sanctimonous BS. And for as long as this 'story' has legs, we can expect other people to make dubious claims because WHY NOT? Not like anyone can prove their statements factual.

Thank you Ms. Feinstein, this damage to Congress was truly necessary.

 

It has nothing to do with Garland it has to do with the Democrats threw her under the bus for charges that do not hold muster in order to smear an honorable man.

How about the accuser coming forward and not refuse to give testimony and the we can see what is the accusation and if it holds up. In the mean time why did the Democrats support Bill Clinton?

They did and they have her statement, nothing further to investigate and they put it in their report. It's up to the Senate now.

What is it you think there is to investigate? They have her statement, the only witnesses to the event she alleges ALL say they don't know what she is talking about, she cannot remember key details and has made conflicting statements on others. No one has come forth and said she told them about it except her husband 30 years later.

Investigate what, they said again today there is nothing for them to investigate here. Are you claiming she has been withholding information and she will only tell it to the FBI? What's stopping her, she can submit a written statement to them and they will include it in their report to the Senate.

I have heard twice today the MSM media say she has accused him of rape. You betcha I will discredit the MSM when they state patent lies as news.

Yes so lets stop the MSM and the Democrats.

I have no doubt, the leftist didn't care what was done to Anita Hill, Junita Broadrick, Paula Jones and a host of other women.

One has nothing to do with the other.

 

Yes I am curious how the leftist here are going to explain how she was so traumatized that she couldn't tell anyone, even her mother, even her best friend about it but everyone at the school knew about it. Who's lying here?

 

ding ding ding!! Amazing how liberals just lose their minds and cannot apply even basic deductive reasoning to the most obvious of inconsistencies.
