She also calls on "men is this country to shut up and do the right thing for a change".

Screw you, toots.

My Senator, Richard Blumenthal, a former attorney general, feels that an unsubstantiated accusation is enough. Very well, Senator, I accuse you of sexual assault, now resign.

These people are absolutely disgusting, and they have no shame.

Go ahead Spence, tell us why I am taking her comment's out of context, and why the comments are actually the epitome of fair, and perfectly keeping with the notion of due process.

I agree she needs to be heard and having first hand knowledge of how difficult it is for these young rape victoms to come forward, I’m not ready to dismiss their claims just because they happened that long ago. I didn’t find out my X was raped in high school until we were married for ten years and even then it was like pulling teeth.

If it happened and some of the therapy she has received supports the claim and he is lying as many do; you ready to give him a pass?

She was going to be heard, on Monday. But now her lawyer wants a full FBI investigation before she is heard, do you think they will finish that up by Monday? All this is shaping up to be, is a time wasting ploy until we get to the November Elections.

our government is officially FUBAR

That's all it was, right out of the gate. Fine, give 10 FBI agents a week to investigate.

This is not a rape accusation,sounds like groping at a high school party. He must be Satan.

Everything you say is fair. But the accuser doesn't know when it happened, she doesn't know where it happened, there are discrepancies between what she says today and what she told her therapist...how can Kavanaugh possibly defend himself?

Did you read what John R said happened to him? He, presumably, was able to show that he was somewhere else at the time. But how could he do that, if the accuser could not specify the time and place? Can you imagine the spot John would have been in, if he had no chance to prove he was somewhere else at the time?

If he did it, he should answer for it, absolutely. But unfortunately, there is almost certainly no way to get anything more than he said / she said, and after 35 years, and with all his character witnesses and the lack of anyone else making accusations, is that enough? Is it nearly enough to punish him? I don't think so. It absolutely reeks of political motivation, it couldn't be more obvious.
