I heard this morning that each side will get 5 minutes for Kavanaugh and 5 minutes for Ford. That's it. Did I hear that right?
Hmmm seems sometimes there is an advantage to diversity. Republicans have never believed in it. They want it now because they look bad.Per Senator but yes it seems insufficient. Republicans will probably yield all their time to the counsel they hired. I'd expect the Dems to do their own but some may yield their time to the more effective members. Harris and Klobuchar seem the most able and best equipped.
If you testify to something where your memory is imperfect, Then she should just state that fact (" I dont recall" or "I'm not entirely certain")Then you would get destroyed as a witness, especially if you were testifying to something where your memory was imperfect. Attorneys are experts at tricking people into giving inconsistent answers even when the witness is attempting to be entirely truthful.
If you were part of a case and told your lawyer that you didn’t need to prepare for a deposition or trial because you were going to tell the truth they would tell you that you’re a fool.
Didn’t have a choice in the matter. The truth doesn’t change regardless if how clever someone may be in asking the questions.You may have done so but that doesn’t mean that was a good idea.
I would love to see if a single one of the actual lawyers on here think Ford would be smart to go into this proceeding without any preparation because she planned to tell the truth.
A single, solitary one.
The truth doesn't change but some people are skilled at question phrasing and when they get you to agree you are cornered.Didn’t have a choice in the matter. The truth doesn’t change regardless if how clever someone may be in asking the questions.
Who the hell would keep calendars from the early 80s?So Kavanaugh released his calendar for 1982 and somebody noticed something...

This guy seems to have some weird character flaws.Definitely weird. Also even if the party isn’t on there why would that be even the slightest surprise? I know when I was a kid I didn’t keep a calendar of all the underage drinking or other shady shit I was planning on doing. I got caught enough without giving my parents a blueprint.
This is naive. The truth doesn’t change but what other people perceive of your truthfulness sure does and in a case like this that’s all that matters.
Have you really never been in an argument or discussion with someone where they were able to twist your words into making you sound dishonest or wrong even though you knew you were right? That was almost certainly a discussion with a layperson. Now imagine what someone who does that for a living, was specifically selected for the task of discrediting you, and has spent a significant amount of time preparing for that discussion with you could do.
Serious offer - if you can find one lawyer on here who will agree with you that she does not need to prepare if she’s telling the truth I’ll concede your point. Just one.

Completely different from keep a journal or notes as part of your profession.
That applies to both the accuser and accused. As you have pointed out, this is a job interview, so perception is what’s at stake.This is naive. The truth doesn’t change but what other people perceive of your truthfulness sure does and in a case like this that’s all that matters.
Yes, the waterboys here do it oftenHave you really never been in an argument or discussion with someone where they were able to twist your words into making you sound dishonest or wrong even though you knew you were right?
Answering truthfully would prevent them from discrediting me, unless of course there are holes in my story.That was almost certainly a discussion with a layperson.

Doesn’t matter. Of course lawyers are going to advise coaching, that is their livelihood after all.Serious offer - if you can find one lawyer on here who will agree with you that she does not need to prepare if she’s telling the truth I’ll concede your point. Just one.
I once watched a prep session for a cross examination in a civil case once of someone I knew to be telling the truth. The lawyer playing the opposing counsel fucking demolished them.
Not to be well prepared by counsel would be incredibly naive.

I believe you were Navy. I have to assume you dealt with military discipline at some point. When there is an NCO in your face looking for answers, there is no preparation or coaching...its the truth or nothing. The simplicity works remarkably well.

I’m sure Mr. Whelan will be along with a floor plan for Timmy’s house any minute now...
Was Kavanaugh in avid water skier? Is water skiing popular on the Potomac? I don’t know why he’d be getting any other skis in July.
If that’s a reference to a drinking party, then Kavanaugh’s already caught in another lie—nevermind Ford.
