Admit that you can't explain yourself.For the same reasons. I'm not going to play your silly word games.
If you knew what hearsay is and why it isn't admissible in court you would understand what I am saying and why.
You're an interesting bird, Jaskalas: A converted neo-con that has realized the error of decades of shitty, nation-killing conservative policy, but there is some sort of social aspect still in your craw....the idea that sexual abuse isn't sexual abuse because women have their place and men have their place: "shut up and take it, bitch."
1: In this case the behavior did not result in a rape. Thus it is far less serious than if it had.
2: Drunk teens are going to do stupid shit. That's called being drunk.
3: He was a minor.
4: It remains unsubstantiated and uncorroborated. Unproven.
I poo poo things that do not matter. This story, even if 100% true, is forgivable in return for a life time of not repeating such an offense. Of doing good and being a good person despite a moment of drug induced weak inhibition. To me, today, the greater offense is if he lies about it. Though being black out drunk would be a decent excuse for not knowing what happened. And it explains how she got away in the first place.
It's the sort of tale that you deal with at the time of the incident. Not decades later at a politically opportune moment.
It looks increasingly likely the batshit Ed Whelan tweet storm that is trying to pin the alleged assault on another classmate is a deliberate strategy by Senate Republicans and perhaps Kavanaugh himself. It may even broadly outline a defense he will take that she was mistaken it was him (first mentioned by Hatch).
If even partially true this person should be nowhere near the SCOTUS bench. We are so fucking far beyond acceptable I don't even know what to say.
No I don't, which is one reason i posted the Sen. Cory Booker story earlier.Something the FBI should question her on. But, I hope you aren’t suggesting it’s OK to have sex with an inebriated woman who is resisting.
Reading this thread it strikes me that many of you might have benefitted immensely from having spent a few nights in your formative years in prison. You might remember a little better what it means to be humiliated.
The Senate is investigating and testimony given to them is under oath and carries a Felony penalty.Hence the need for an investigation and testimony to the FBI that carries consequences if someone were to lie.
They can join the death threats,rape threats and other nastiness aimed at Sen. Collins.CNN now reporting death threats against both Dr. Ford, Kavanaugh and his family.
There is no way to diffuse this situation.

Only the two of them. No other corroborating witnesses. GOP just wants "he did it", "no I didn't". Ok let's move on to the vote.The Senate is investigating and testimony given to them is under oath and carries a Felony penalty.

How? Death threats are not an indicator that people will rationally deal with an outcome other than the one they’ve become vested in.
The only peaceful outcome I see if it Kavanaugh withdraws and makes a powerful statement to accompany it.

The Senate investigators have taken testimony from at least 3 of the people named in Fords letter including Kavanaugh, all of it with Felony penalties for lying. I'd link, but i can't find the damn story.Only the two of them. No other corroborating witnesses. GOP just wants "he did it", "no I didn't". Ok let's move on to the vote.
Complete bullshit.
If Kavanaugh is so innocent he should be calling for the FBI to question any witnesses or anyone who has knowledge of the circumstances. After all wouldn't more information help clear his name???
Republicans are treating this like the vote. The less people who participate the better for them.

What exactly do you think you are showing us?
I'm not seeing what someone may or may not have done as a high school kid having any relevance 4 decades later. But I'm not a hyper-partisan idiot who sees things in terms of D vs. R, so that probably explains that. Rage on everyone.
