One thing is for sure, if the Democrats hit their four-outer and take the senate, they goddamn better dump Chuckie Schumer and put someone with balls in there. Can you imagine how ****ing CONFIRMED FURIOUS Trump will get if he nominates someone and Kamala Harris just gives him a "hahahah no"

But what do these sort of characterizations of the accusers matter? You told me it doesn't because you'd say it even if they were true.

"True or not" was the ultimate tell you're reflexively going to defend Franken no matter what with all sorts of dumbass arguments.

Three of Kavanaugh's Yale Law classmates who signed August letter endorsing him want an investigation into women's claims

Quote:

In their Aug. 27 letter, a bipartisan group of Yale Law School alumni praised Kavanaugh’s judgment and thoughtfulness.

However, in a joint statement to The Washington Post on Tuesday, Sinclair and Rutzen said that new allegations require “a fair and credible investigation.”

“The confirmation process should be conducted in a way that fosters trust in the process and the Supreme Court, and that seriously considers allegations of sexual violence,” stated Sinclair, a political independent who practices law in Beverly, Mass., and Rutzen, a lawyer in Washington and registered Democrat.

Osler, a former federal prosecutor and a professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis, said in a phone interview that “corroborating evidence” is necessary to determine what occurred.

“The focus can’t just be on the accusers and trying to bring their veracity into question. The circumstances need to be probed,” said Osler, a Democrat.

This part is ****ing terrifying though:

Quote:

Helen Rice, who described herself as a liberal Democrat, said Kavanaugh was “never anything but polite and respectful” as a friend, despite their political differences.

“I’ve been appalled at the way he’s been treated in the news media and by the Democrats,” said Rice, a social worker in New York state who said she met Kavanaugh while he was in law school.

“We’re all in danger if allegations are all it takes to prove our guilt. Who is to say an allegation couldn’t be leveled against you or me?” she said.

She has to be lying about being a "liberal Democrat", right?

Nice pull goofballer! You deep dive back to that proud day your future presidential candidate took the cowards way out and capitulated to his party turning against him based on the 11 year old allegations of a republican radio host lingerie model. A stellar moment in recent democratic party history. Do you want to talk about what Hilary did right in the election too?

I think this is a little too neat. What camp was Clinton in? He was neither bumbling nor a progressive.

Are you *sure* Clinton didn't "bumble around and get stymied by conservative forces at every turn"? I had him firmly in that category in my head.

So why even bother with testimonies or anything? Why not just make a poster sized enlargement of his Yale degree, put it up in the room, and say, "Well I think that wraps this up" in response to Ford's allegations?

Graham is acting like Avenatti himself said he was assaulted by Kavanaugh.

Funny, but both times I saw this narrative of POS people do not usually enjoy the successes Kavanaugh has it sounds like a ****ing argument to end his career, not elevate it.

Every time a democrat disapproves statements like that of "Helen rice", we have more proof that the left in the USA is not much better morally than the right.

Yes gop is a bunch of evil deplorables, ike the czarist elite was in early 900 Russia.

Swapping it with the rule of the angry, violent, ignorant mob led by smart and devious ringleaders is not an improvement.

Fwiw ford accusations seem more belivable than most public, high-impact rape accusations (which are typically not credible, and often demonstrabily false like with Dominique Strauss Khan, which democrats keep forgetting).

That is enough to ask for an FBI investigation, to vote no for safety and so on.

But you guys keep talking as if everything was proven beyond doubt. And this is simply terrible and shows how without morals the left is nowadays

I'm not *sure*, but like, when you look at the crime bill or DADT, was that the result of bumbling and being stymied or were those things Clinton genuinely wanted to do?

What are us angry libs asking for beyond what you said is reasonable in the bolded? Are you saying our default in this case of personally believing the accusations before they are proven in a court of law is the moral equivalent of calling the accuser a liar to get a political win?

Yeah, because we'd hate to have a bunch of people lie and cheat to PROVIDE health care or REGULATE environmental polluters. Moron.

More classmates come forward to dispute Kavanaugh's choir boy image

Quote:

Liz Swisher, who described herself as a friend of Kavanaugh in college, said she was shocked that — in an interview focused largely on his high school years and allegations of sexual misconduct — he strongly denied drinking to the point of blacking out.

“Brett was a sloppy drunk, and I know because I drank with him. I watched him drink more than a lot of people. He’d end up slurring his words, stumbling,” said Swisher, a Democrat and chief of the gynecologic oncology division at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “There’s no medical way I can say that he was blacked out. . . . But it’s not credible for him to say that he has had no memory lapses in the nights that he drank to excess.”

Quote:

“He’s trying to paint himself as some kind of choir boy,” said Brookes, a Republican and former pharmaceutical executive who recalled an encounter with a drunken Kavanaugh at a fraternity event. “You can’t lie your way onto the Supreme Court, and with that statement out, he’s gone too far. It’s about the integrity of that institution.”

...
But Brookes, Ramirez’s roommate for a year, said she was present one night when Kavanaugh participated in an event with his fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon. Brookes said she believes there was “no way” he remembered all of the behavior she observed that night, when fraternity brothers pushed pledges to get “ridiculously drunk” and do “ridiculous things.”
