She's kind of a mid management prosecutor in Phoenix.
Only articles I could find on her are:
1. She prosecuted a cop for inappropriate conduct... and basically let the cop go with a promise to never try be a cop again.
2. She prosecuted a pedophile priest

She was a nominee for a judge position, listed as a Republican.
She seems to have written occasionally on sex abuse of children

Legalspan entry on her looks like this:

This is a page where she got an aware for NACo award for Sex Assault Backlog.

Here's a picture of her and her group. I think the lady in the middle is her since she's listed as SVU Director in the caption.



The award is for instituting a program that had "almost 2,000 kits sent for testing" when there was a backlog of 4,000. But whatever. It's a good step forward.

Here is the part that I thought "now I get it."

In its first year the program had almost 2,000 kits sent for testing, leading to five sex assault charges being filed and thus far, one conviction.
**** yourself GOP. The search process seemed to be
<filter for woman>
<filter for sex crime prosecutor>
<sort by charges files and convictions, lowest to highest>

So what are we going to call the dynamic duo of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh for the next 40 years? Gorvanaugh or Kavasuch? Robin and Robin?

I'm really surprised she isn't getting more flack for it from the left.

If she had confidentially given the letter to Grassley immediately, it could have been investigated fully and privately without Ford's name ever becoming public. And they could've interviewed Judge, etc. And gone from there.

At this point, the whole thing is a tainted political circus where each side is just sniping each other and playing games. Dr. Ford, who at this juncture seems incredibly genuine, is stuck in the middle.

It's ruining his life.

Not to mention old turtle neck essentially calling her a liar before any hearing has taken place. Having Feinstein coming off worse than Mitch here is ****ing astonishing
09-25-2018 , 09:40 PM
eh, I think the general public is gonna think the same thing that Feinstein came off the worst. I don't know how either but it just seems like something this country would do.

I don’t think more than 50% of the general public could even tell you who Feinstein is, let alone their opinion of her recent actions

Go to hell Graham.

Ford's more than credible and you know it.

fair, but I think if we let it generalize it to dem/rep there's a lot of people barely paying attention that aren't happy with the dems at all for this. Probably something close to actual D/R lines though but man this **** show. There's too many people who just don't give a **** about anything but themselves.

She can offer the letter however and whenever she ****ing feels like it. It's not that hard to understand actually.

Theory: Kavanaugh doesnt have the votes now
They're scheduling the vote for Friday as a semi bluff but are just waiting to see how the questioning goes.
Decent chance they pull him before she testifies still.

Stopped reading there. lol, **** this ****.

I've been reading a history of the Anita Hill case. Never really paid enough attention to it when it was going down. Never realized how hilariously unqualified Thomas was. Just an enormous slap in the face to the great Thurgood Marshall.
09-25-2018 , 10:19 PM
loldomer still ****ting out talking points that even the GOP abandoned. Guess he got tired of lying about climate change and has switched gears to carrying water for a sexual predator.

Thought so too given he went on Fox. That said, there's 43 R's confirmed even if he's a serial killer already and it's impossible to trust any of them on the list who isn't confirmed lock yet.

It's not a bluff though, if it's close McConnell is gonna have a vote since he did on that healthcare repeal bill.

Trump ain't pulling **** unless he absolutely has to as he loves this **** show. Hell he probably dgaf if they don't vote him in so he can whine about democrats more.

50% is closer to her name recognition in California than it is to her national name recognition, which is probably around 15%, and only that high because she's a longtime Senator in the nation's largest state.

James Lankford or Jon Tester's national name recognition is probably well under 5%.

Hot take: if Kavanaugh gets confirmed and Trump's approval continues to tank, the Dems could absolutely get away with having packing the SC in their 2020 platform.

The voting public could easily be convinced:

1. The last 2 SC Justices are illegitimate

2. In general, were in a climate where political norms are flying out the window

3. Republicans suck (remember this scenario is predicated on Trump continuing to be historically unpopular)

It's a pretty great opportunity. They'll never do this because they suck, but they should.

They gotta be worried about Avenatti too. He said earlier his client is going public within 24-36 hours. And that person apparently has multiple security clearances.

Dude, they're literally campaigning on reinstating the fillibuster.

republicans knew at least as long as feinstein. thats how they came up with the 65 names.

regardless, its not the dems fault the republicans are trying to slam thru a drunkard rapist.
