    Perhaps you have a point to make but I cannot divine it from the aether. You must write it out dear. Use your words.

    Okay, yes like that. You know the old saying, two wrongs don't make a right? And in this case, an innocent man(Kavanaugh) has had his character assassinated in front of his wife and children. This goes beyond 'Bork' We will now say a judge will be Kavanaugh'd.

    Sure she is.
    She can's say when or where it happened, or who was there, but she's making accusations.

    Standing by her claim? How, by not showing up and going into hiding?

    And by demanding via E-Mail/Telephone to 'negotiate' terms for a meeting. SERIOUSLY. The audacity is rich. She's lucky to even be heard at this juncture.

    This was fully orchestrated once the nomination was made. Democrats have vowed to do everything and anything to stop any nominee by Trump.

    It's as transparent as a see through dress.

    The Republican Party needs to stand firm. They may not all(or mostly) like Trump, they may not even like the nominee in question but the esteemed halls of the Senate need to be respected and Christine Ford(and the rest of the whiners) have absolutely zero respect for the US Senate.

    So tell her flatly that she missed the deadline and the vote is being scheduled as soon as is appropriate.

    This goes beyond President Trump. This goes all the way to the sanctity of our union. This goes to due process and not making false accusations against people who are innocent. Make no mistake about it, Dr. Ford is lying and the Democrats are using her to stall the nomination process.

    The ironic thing about this woman not testifying on the 24th: The power of Kavanaugh's testimony will go, essentially unopposed. One interesting thing Kavanaugh could do, is try to get a record of any public places he had been in the summer of 1982 and basically go "Yeah, I raped you? Where?"

    If she answers and it's wrong, not only would that clear Kavanaugh, but then she'll be the one facing legal actions. Which is why I suspect she retained the lawyer. Not for this confirmation hearing, but for the inevitable punitive damages.

    Yes, you did.

    Why do you continue to lie? It's right here. You specifically brought up Trump, then lied and said you didn't and even after it was pointed out to you, you still lie about it.

    This is why I (and most likely many others) can't take you seriously. Just admit you made a mistake instead of doubling down on it.

    Here's another bit of juicy reality the New Democratic Party, and their media partners wouldn't report.

    We know Ford is being coached and represented by Debra Katz.

    So, who is Debra Katz and who is she connected to?

    https://www.pogo.org/about/people/debra-s-katz/

    Debra S. Katz
    Vice Chair of the Board
    Project on Government Oversight​

    Debra Katz is a partner with Katz, Marshall & Banks, LLC, a civil rights law firm based in Washington, D.C.

    Any minute now you'll tell us what any of this crap has to do with the THREAD TOPIC.

    You said earlier that Blasey Ford "is a real person who stands by her claim". So, WHEN is that going to happen? By what means is that going to happen? And, most important of all -- is this courageous 'standing-up' exhibition she's going to stage for the world going to be done UNDER OATH, and supported by evidence and proof?!

    Frankly, if she can't do that, her troubles are just beginning, and she's going to wish with all her heart that she had just kept these mysterious 'therapy session' ramblings to HERSELF! And, isn't it interesting that today, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, AFTER issuing statements two days ago that clearly indicate she does not fully trust Blasey Ford's 'story' was totally SILENT and INVISIBLE. Where ARE you, Dianne? :omg: . Link: http://thefederalist.com/2018/09/18...ugh-accusations-cant-say-everything-truthful/

    Tomorrow will probably tell us a lot more, but right now my bet is that Feinstein and her Democrat team are going throw Blasey Ford's ass 'under the bus', but continue to try to milk the whole thing as some kind of example for the ways that men intimidate women, or some other inane, totally-disconnected crap like that.... And, OF COURSE, all Democrats will be completely allied on one thing -- they'll vote against Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation... just because that's what the Democrat Party DOES....

    Nice try.

    No, you need to apologize, THAT is what you were responding to. ;)

    You were caught. Why did you even bring Trump up in that response anyway? It has nothing to do with this thread. Cheap smear for points? Gee, sounds exactly what Dr. Ford is trying to do. ;)

    Well, he doesn't belong there because he's a perjurer.. He should be impeached for that later, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't see why there would be any need to throw Ford under the bus, but the problem is that the allegations are just unproveable, even if they did happen. That said, somebody like Ford should be able to tell her story without being attacked under the assumption it must be a lie. We don't know. And no, it's not reasonable for republicans to say, come here in 6 days or else shut up. And they're only doing it that way because they're trying to pretend they care for those constituents who still have their humanity, while also still being able to seat Kav for the next session.

    When did he commit perjury? I agree with the middle of what you wrote but the 6 days isn't reasonable is the Republicans fault without mentioning they supsended the vote and afforded her an opportunity. Dianne Feinstein withheld this info too long.... Had the info been presented earlier i would assume it would have been followed up. With the way it all went down Dianne Feinstein forced Grassley hand if they allow an FBI investigation it will be perceived by Republican voters as caving to a political taticaand they would be angry and rightfully so imo

    He didn't. If he did, he would have never made through the confirmation process and to the process of scheduling the vote.

    In 2004 he was asked whether he was involved in the nomination of Bill Pryor, and he said that he wasn't. But e-mails show he was. In another instance, I think 2006 there was this:

    "Leahy: What about the documents relating to the administration’s policies and practice on torture; did you see anything about that, or did you first hear about that when you read about it in the paper?

    Kavanaugh: I think with respect to the legal justifications or the policies relating to the treatment of detainees, I was not aware of any issues on that or the legal memos that subsequently came out until the summer, sometime in 2004 when there started to be news reports on that. This was not part of my docket, either in the Counsel’s Office or as Staff Secretary."

    But in 2002, Kav advised WH lawyers on Kennedy's likely position on not giving counsel to enemy combatants. In light of reporting on this, Leahy asked Attorney General Gonzales to investigate for perjury. But unsurprisingly the Bush attorney general decided not to pursue perjury charges.

    Not rightfully so, when we're talking about a lifetime appointment you dot all the i's. If Feinstein did something wrong, that can be its own thing, but from what I've heard it was a staffer that leaked the name, and Feinstein sat on it until news reports of the existence of the letter forced her hand, i.e. it's at least plausible that she wasn't planning on doing anything with the letter, but when its existence was leaked to the public she tried to pass it off to the FBI.
