deja vu all over again...


"I think that this today is a travesty. I think that it is disgusting. I think that this hearing should never occur in America. This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation. How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country, would like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion? Or this dirt dredged up and this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner? How would any person like it?

The Supreme Court is not worth it. No job is worth it. I am not here for that. I am here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity. I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this."

Like TDF said
Blocking tactics of Garland were not even close to the last 2 weeks of character assasination I have witnessed by the Left and you are OK with that because Trump.

Gotta agree w/wdmso on this one.

Doesn't have anything to do w/Trump.

K sounds like he had a drinking problem back in HS and college (as many of us did) and kept bobbing and weaving when he was asked about it.

When asked about a 5 day delay to let the FBI open back up the background checks he looked like a deer in the headlights and refused to answer and kept stumbling around before saying "I'll do whatever the committee decides" when he knew Trump would never open up the investigation. To clear my name I'd want the FBI to take statements and if anyone lies let them go to jail (like Papadopolus and Flynn). W/o that there will always be talk about his assault.

His crying about Clinton and conspiracy theories was a joke and anyone with these crazy thoughts shouldn't on the court. How can he even pretend to rule fairly on a Dem now?

Too bad there aren't SCOTUS term limits.

Tactics are just that. bullets or bombs one is not more honorable than the other

not sure how the right can even complain about character assassination it's been in their play book for decades and used committed daily by Trump from an article

Trump has insulted over the last few years. He has insulted former President Obama with his birtherism charge. He has insulted Gold Star families. He has insulted the late honorable U.S. Sen. John McCain. He has insulted Bill and Hillary Clinton. He has insulted his fellow party members who sought the GOP nomination for President — Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. He has insulted Mexicans, Muslims and women. He even insults and attacks his own Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. He has insulted both GOP leaders, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, and Democratic members of Congress.

He even at one point insulted his Ambassador to the United Nations back when she stood up to remove Confederate statues, when he said, “The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley.” He has attacked U.S. companies and corporation. He has insulted the leaders of our our allied countries. And, of course he has consistently attacked the “fake media.” none of based on truth if this isn't a form character assassination not sure what is


Again the right assumes those women are liars in a grand conspiracy

Do I think what happened in Highschool should have any bearing on his life's work.. no I do not

But please his party sowed the seeds and they served him up as a sacrificial lamb .. they though the Dem were going to lay down as always and they did not

and nationally 43 percent oppose, 38 percent support this was before all this drama .. hence the rush to push him thru before the midterms the GOP can't have both ways

[Got Stripers]

TERM LIMITS! This circus wouldn’t exist if we had term limits and then maybe just maybe in the words of JFK; they wouldn’t be seeking a democratic or republican answer but the right answer.

I guess I missed the part where Merrick Garland’s integrity and reputation were destroyed on national TV.

Other than that, it’s still not really the same thing

Thank you for keeping Rhode Island the laughing stock of the United States.

Most people react with emotion when falsely accused of a serious crime.

Not all accusers are correct in the recollection of who it was that harmed them.

case in point https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/the...homas-webb-iii


Term limits would be great Bob, get your Rep and Senators to back a bill to get this rolling, I fully support that and don't understand why it was not implemented when the term limits for POTUS was put in place.

[Pete F.]

Term Limits
People could then make wise decisions not political ones
Remember 3 members of the Judiciary committee were in the same seats for Clarence Thomas 27 years ago
That is a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing long time ago

[Got Stripers]

K has a reputation to protect, why wouldn’t he encourage POTUS order the one week investigation? I hope it gets done so there are no doubts, nothing to hide then what’s the problem. I don’t care if he turned into a Boy Scout, if the FBI uncovers enough to corroborate her accusation, then he should be sent packing.

Likely because they're going to speak with his friends and contradict a lot of sworn testimony.

i am in favor of the investigation, but here’s why he might object. if the fbi comes back and says that they found no evidence to support his guilt, it’s nit going to change anyone’s mind who is currently opposed to him.

also, it gives the media another week to run stories saying that he is a cannibal who engages in child sex trafficking.

There is a chance the FBI finds out she is a nut job.

[Pete F.]

I watched parts of yesterdays performance, I'll be amazed if anything comes out of it.
I have a few comments

I don't see the upside for her doing this, not the democrats, her

I don't believe he never overconsumed, even once, never?


His best friends in high school say it never happened

What happened July first and why was Rachel Mitchell yanked when she started to pursue that question?

They definitely were in the same social circle, her father was president of Burning Tree golf club and his father is a member.

Now the rest of us are learning about the hierarchy of Washington private schools—about what it meant, in the eighties, to go to Georgetown Prep as opposed to Landon or Gonzaga, and about the girls’ schools Stone Ridge, Visitation, and Holton-Arms. By all appearances, the kids from these prep schools almost exclusively socialize with one another, and that social network informs their identities for the rest of their lives. As reporters have investigated Kavanaugh’s high-school years, many alumni have expressed fear about going on the record and alienating themselves from a close-knit community. “I guess you could call it a fraternity between a bunch of rich kids,” an anonymous alumnus of Georgetown Prep, who overlapped with Kavanaugh there, told the Huff Post. “All this #^&#^&#^&#^& happens, and then nobody really wants to talk about it, because if one person crumbles, the whole system crumbles, and everybody tells on everybody.” I spoke with another Georgetown Prep alumnus, who hated high school but still didn’t want to go on the record about what it was like there. Even for those who take less pride in the institution, what happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep.

Did she start it? Otherwise that is irrelevant.

She grew up at a country club. Went to UNC and has a PHD from USC. Teaches at a college.

No need for 2nd and 3rd jobs for her.

Is it a wonder women don't want to come forward when people accuse them of things like RR did.

[wdmso]

did anyone find it odd the amount of women friends and women who stated they he knew him signed letters of support? like 65




What’s clear is that the spectre of false allegation continues to dog the reporting of sexual violence. There remains a public impression that false allegations are common and that innocent people suffer as the result of being wrongfully accused.


The evidence on false allegations rape and sexual assault – they are invariably and consistently low. Research suggests that only 4 per cent of cases of sexual violence reported to the UK police are found or suspected to be false. Studies carried out in Europe and in the US indicate rates of between 2 per cent and 6 per cent.

All I have seen here the R Man told the truth the D women lied

When we will never know the Truth even with the FBI

we need Term limits and and age limits


1 Dianne Feinstein 85 years old Democratic
2 Chuck Grassley 85 years, Republican
3 Orrin Hatch 84 years, Republican
4 Richard Shelby 84 years, 144 days Republican
5 Jim Inhofe Oklahoma 83 Republican
6 Pat Roberts 82 years, Republican
7 Barbara Mikulski 82 years, Democratic

9 Thad Cochran 80 years, Republican
10 Harry Reid Nevada 78 years, 299 days Democratic
11 Patrick Leahy 78 years, Democratic
12 Lamar Alexander 78 years, Republican

Care to provide any quotes from people who said that, or is that just an assumption you're choosing to make because we're not falling into lock step with the democratic thought process.

you are 100% correct no one wrote she's a liar

however my reading reading comprehension skills are spot on

But there's more than 1 way to skin a cat

if she believes what she is saying, nothing beyond allegations and hearsay, FBI missed it Does anybody believe this?

democrats are doing a fine job of mocking and delegitimizing all actual victims of sexual assault by turing it into a political weapon

2 weeks of character assasination

Most people react with emotion when falsely accused of a serious crime.

Not all accusers are correct in the recollection of who it was that harmed them.

why she has a 900k gofundme page?

I don't think anyone has said she lied

I don't think anyone has said she lied...but none of the people she named corroborated her story and her good friend that she named as being there...said she doesn't know Kavanaugh and was never at any such party.....not to mention the other gaps in her story


the republicans bent over backwards to accomodate her and to be respectful to her

the democrats bent over froward and took a dump on Judge Kavanaugh


that's the real difference

[Sea Dangles]

All that is pretty much true
