Supreme Court Justice

It's called an October Surprise and is a common tactic in political elections. The term even has it's own entry in the dictionary.

Oc·to·ber sur·prise
noun
Any political event orchestrated (or apparently orchestrated) in the month before an election, in the hopes of affecting the outcome.

Definitely common.

Though the only indicator is that is was done by NBC or by a pissed off Apprentice employee after Trump denied the allegations they printed. No evidence anywhere of a relationship to Hillary or DNC. Its not like the Clinton's have a great reputation for treatment of women. Talk about obvious blowback.

So the Democrats have manufactured outrage.... and in response the Republicans have manufactured empathy..... Looks like everyone has covered their bases...

Kavanaugh gets confirmed before the mid-terms.... there is not a chance in hell the GOP are going to let the Democrats pull a Merit Garland on them.



Food for thought.... Just imagine the fake manufactured outrage if he had of allegedly grabbed her pussy! I think the Dems missed a golden opportunity with the just going for the tit story.

Both sides are playing their hands.

Kavanaugh could still get confirmed but even Trump expressed his doubt today.

RNC will get a SCOTUS before end of year but not certain it will be Kavanaugh. I'd be happy with a Libertarian leanining judge without Kavanaugh's baggage myself. He was and remains too affected by his partisan history. Let someone who didn't personally serve a president who infringed on civil liberties take the bench instead.

I really like the justice system, where one is innocent until "proven" guilty.

This isn't a trial and she isn't pressing charges (way past statute of limitations).

This is judicial appointment that relies on public record, opinion and judgement of character. All of it is subjective.

So ppp, in your subjective state---what is Kavanaughs relief if none of this is true?

Relief?

His legal recourse is the same as any citizen, though the bar is tougher on public figures (though this may be a different scenario). Hint: its the law your MAGA guy has no clue about given he wants to change it at the federal level.

Kavanaugh won't go that way though. It would require Ford to testify under oath. You know, the guy who wrote a memoir bragging about being blackout drunk at that school and college. The guy who seems to be quoted saying some women are dressed to be raped. And countless other people.

His "team" appears to have pulled the wool over his supporter's eyes. Do you actually believe he didn't know this could pop up and just randomly had a letter signed by 65 women from that high school? I mean who does that in advance?

But I don't believe for a second you are concerned about him given your actions here. Do you actually expect me to believe you care about a public figures reputation? Ha.

"Then he tries to kiss me again. And the second time he tries to kiss me he starts biting my lip … He starts to, um, bite on my top lip and I tried to pull away from him. And then he forces me down on the bed. And I just was very frightened, and I tried to get away from him and I told him 'No,' that I didn't want this to happen but he wouldn't listen to me."

"It was a real panicky, panicky situation," she said. "I was even to the point where I was getting very noisy, you know, yelling to 'Please stop.' And that's when he pressed down on my right shoulder and he would bite my lip. … When everything was over with, he got up and straightened himself, and I was crying at the moment and he walks to the door, and calmly puts on his sunglasses. And before he goes out the door he says, 'You better get some ice on that.' And he turned and went out the door."

So I assume you are concerned about what type of "relief" Bill Clinton gets given these accusations have never gone to trial? Or that you believe these should only be settled in court and Bill is innocent until proven guilty?

Nope. Then I guess its obvious you are hypocrite and conservative hack.

I gladly admit that Bill Clinton has been accussed of heinous sexual crimes. I openly dislike the Clintons and their place in politics.

See how consistency works?

Juanita Broaddrick Blasts Hillary Clinton Over Due Process

http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/09/1...gh-due-process

Interesting difference in details.

Blasey's Letter:

Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's

Kavanaugh response Monday

this false allegation, from 36 years ago

Why is his response more specific than her's if it didn't happen? Seems like his comment would be less specific if the action didn't happen. Why does he know the exact year of a supposedly fake event?

[Iceaxe]

Why does he know the exact year of a supposedly fake event?

Is what I want to know is why she doesn't know where or when an event happened that supposedly ruined her life? That is why you'll never see Ford under oath with regards to this matter.

I knew Ford was bat shit crazy when the words couple counseling were mentioned... I feel sorry for the poor sucker that married her... you are welcome to an opposing opinion.

It's common for victims to remember years/decades later and not know all of the details.

And people go under oath all of the time with such ambiguous details. Her lawyer will have no problem preparing her for that.

Requesting an FBI investigation = official record and potential perjury charges if she ever contradicts herself ina hearing. Not sure why they want that though as it wasn't an alleged federal offense. But there is no benefit to her to start a federal investigation if she is "lieing" (nod) about the whole thing, ie heavy punishment.

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
