Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

Re: Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

Sounds awful shrill.

Can't believe this is my Senator... and she's a complete obstructionist. Saying no to everything that Trump requests because, well, Trump. If Ms. Ford were being bullied, she wouldn't be given the platform to be heard.

Dear Mr. Flag.

There is no statute of limitations for sexual assault in Maryland.

Also, just wanted to point out again (dx did a great job of it last night) that there is no due process requirement here. This is a job interview. The mere appearance of impropriety is enough.

We knew he wouldn't stay silent forever.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.

I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!

Totally agree. The ivy engineers I’ve eboun couldn’t hold a candle to really most of the big ten or Midwest engineers I’ve come across.

The ivies were smart but not good employees

ivy's are the sux. and only whites are hockey players, swimmers ( ) and divers

Not to mention, it is the FBI's job to do background checks on political appointees. State lines or no state lines.

You know, if I were that stupid, I think I'd just remain in the background and keep my mouth shut. Not continually demonstrate that stupidity day after day on internet message boards.

But that's just me. Have at it, Flaggy.

These were the situations where, I think, you could talk to any prep school girl, and they would say, yeah, I was attacked or I was abused or I was touched or I was done in this improper fashion. And like I said, it was a fraternity, but it was also a situation where the girls wouldn’t talk about it later on, either. A lot of these women basically became kept women.

Was the assault that Christine Blasey Ford described typical?
Yeah, and a lot of that happened. And I think she said she was in a bathing suit, so that happened at Beach Week, I would guess.
That’s where everybody would go down to the coast, over to Ocean City [Maryland], or Rehoboth [Beach, Delaware], one of the local beaches. And somebody would have a house, or somebody would rent a house, and then it would just turn into a free-for-all there. My friend, who went to one of the private girls’ schools, said she woke up with a guy on top of her. And this was not a situation where people would talk about it. They would just say: “Oh, well, how’d you do? How was your weekend?” “Oh, well, I got attacked.” And that was just normal then. It was an attitude where “No” didn’t necessarily mean “I’m going to stop.” It meant “I’m going to keep going,” and “I’m going to keep going because I’m privileged and I’m allowed to and I’m not going to get in trouble for it.”

Sounds pretty much like my high school and college years, minus the sexual assault part. I mean, there were stories, and I'm sure probably a lot of it happened, but I never witnessed it. Story of a girl my freshman year who did a train of 20-some guys. Yeah, I'm sure that was consensual. Another story of a girl who woke up in a room full of guys at a frat house the next morning, completely naked, and no idea how she got there. Stuff like that. So I have no doubts that this woman is telling the truth.

The radical left lawyers want the FBI to get involved NOW. Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?

Re: Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

So much for those Republicans' concerns about men being wrongfully accused by women of sexual misconduct.

Deleting tweets of my own that included his thread for that reason. This is something Kavanaugh allies had privately said could be the case for days but doing it this way, as an apparent reaction to Ford likely testifying, suggests a level of panic. https://t.co/zRt2fELDaU

So, the possibility exists that Kavanaugh may have bought into Wheland’s lunacy and encouraged it? pic.twitter.com/FGGINcrAiR

The Federalist Society's Leonard Leo wrote the menu of potential Supreme Court justices for Trump to pick from. A Politico reporter tweeted this morning that 3 people confirmed to her Leo was "100 percent confident" Whelan's argument would work. https://t.co/LNysxSAD5K

So, a concerted effort led by the people who have been pushing for Kavanaugh to be appointed to the court from the get go to push a theory of mistaken identity, and naming and publishing photographs of an innocent man they claim was the rapist instead of Kavanaugh.

But yeah, this whole thing is on the up and up, led by the most moral and upstanding citizens this country has to offer.

Re: Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

I'm sure news such as this has Joe profoundly disturbed. Since he's all about civility in our political discourse.


https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/w...eiving-threats

From senators to the accuser to family members, women of all stripes involved in the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have received violent threats in recent days.

Re: Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

So basically, all of this was known back when he was initially vetted, and they decided to ram him through anyway.

Keep it classy, Trumpsters.

Re: Scotus 11: Will Thomas Ever Speak Again?

The Republicans know something. You dont circle the wagons like this unless you have a reason. If you honestly think someone is innocent you dont need tactics like this. If they are wrong they are opening themselves up to civil action by randomly throwing someone under the bus. (please let him turn out to be a Dem cause that will explode all over their faces!)

They were banking on her holding firm and not speaking publicly. This stinks of desperation.
