Kavanaugh SCOTUS Senate Judicial Hearing

[HomerJS]

Well yeah but I didn't say it was something to be proud of. But he was getting some love for not being a complete piece of shit... briefly... on just this specific matter...

Trump claims the media is out to get him and they only reports the negatives. Media threw him a bone. He should be happy.

I smell desperation.

That's just the prez setting things on fire again

 

[soundforbjt]

FTFY.

Thanks, just got up a bit ago, late night.

That he's a retarded old man already kicking up dirt for his nap. Not sure why people directly respond to this piece of shit loser at this point. He's in fullcourt press mode. Put him on ignore... another sock pops up... whack-a-tard... Boring and predictable since birth...

Nice and appropriate avatar. A mushroom, feeds on shit and grows in the dark.

If Kavanaugh really wants to clear his name then volunteer for a lie detector test. If he tells the truth he will pass. If he is a convincing liar he will pass. If he was in a drunken blackout he will pass.

If I had to guess he probably already took one and failed.

Predicting a response, this isn't a court of law.

Force? Anything look unreasonable?

1. Yes, how can Kavanaugh answer any accusation she makes when he has to testify first? She's making accusations, not him.
2. He can't be in the room when she testifies? He has the right to face his accuser. She's not a little kid.
3. It's not up to her who questions her, it's up to the Senate.
4. It's not up to her when the hearing is held, the date has been set already according to Senate rules.
5.Why does she require no time limit? Every Senator and witness has time limits.

All look unreasonable to me

Of course it does...

She needs to take a lie detector test that wasn't overseen by her lawyers and who only released a generalized statement about it.

Defend them, they're petty and ridiculous.

So is Trump & repubs for not asking for an FBI investigation, you do know what the "I" in FBI stands for don't you...Trump doesn't.

It's on Ford's list of requirements for testifying. Republicans wanted to avoid the optics of Ford being grilled by a staff of all old white men. Maybe they should have thought of bringing in women on the judiciary committee years ago. Its was the same makeup for Anita Hill

I take it from her demand letter that she specifically wants those optics? Interesting...

Using the accusation as an opportunity to play politics. That won't settle well.

You can't defend her demands or you would. I support an investigation, in fact it should have been going on since June or July. You can't blame the Republicans in the Senate for being kept in ignorance of her charges.

I can easily defend her requests, she want to face her accusers, like Hatch who said she must be "mixed up".

Interesting that you see an obviously political move by the GOP to be good but a potentially political move by the witness to be bad.

Interesting is one word for it. When I read his post I thought it was too bad that these boards weren't around for Anita Hill, then I immediately changed my mind and was relieved that these boards weren't around for Anita Hill.

Because the GOP is a political group, but the witness is supposed to just be a witness.

A witness in a political proceeding. The limit of her duty here is to not lie.

Agreed, and to not engage in politics.

1. I give you this one. She is accuser so he should be able to rebut.
2. This isn't a courtroom. No need for that controversy.
3. Dems and Republicans should use their committee members, that's what they are there for. Republicans just want to bring in a woman to question because the optics look bad. Maybe Republicans should have thought of bringing women onto the committee after the Anita Hill debacle. Now they have the same scenario, all old white guys grilling a woman. Diversity isn't the evil you guys claim
4. Not a big deal Mon-Thu. If they are not going to have FBI investigate it needs to be next week.
5. I think she should propose a reasonable time limit. I doubt any of those guys are going to cut her off.

She should stick to her demand FBI question any witnesses or people with information.

McConnell is at an event saying that Kavanaugh will be confirmed no matter what. If he had the votes he'd bypass the committee and call the nomination to the floor. Seems like an excessively bold prediction.

Everything from the "and" is wrong.

 

[fskimospy]

Can you point out where witnesses agree to that?

It’s kind of funny that you think witnesses before the government have a responsibility to honest inquiry while the government itself does not, haha.

I was being facetious, it's obvious she was engaging in politics when she first sent a letter to her Representative.

Who cares? If she knows a prospective SCOTUS justice is a sex offender she was right to tell someone. I have no doubt you would share my opinion if Kavanaugh suddenly developed a (D) after his name.

No, she wants the Republicans to own their position and makeup. Why put on a false face?
