They're going to shrug this off, aren't they? They're going to put a rapist on the Supreme Court and never look back?
I don't think Mitch has the votes to push him through at this point.

I so dearly hope you're right. I feel sick to my stomach about this.

I mean he was a minor when this allegedly happened, so it should not even be weighed that heavily even if it is true.

Didnt you already repeat this multiple times already?

As previously stated, it's fairly obvious Republicans have known about these allegations for weeks too, given how quickly they put out the rebuttal signed by 65 of Kavanaugh's high school friends.

I hate it when politicians grandstand like McConnell.

LOL.
As if Cocaine McTurtle has been honest with procedure (with the opposite party) regarding SC nominees.
He has a lot of nerve to go-there, regarding Feinstein.

One of the most important liberal concepts in history is innocent until proven guilty. I don't agree with him politically but At what point do we start demanding more evidence to prevent lives being destroyed on accusations alone? How do you determine who to believe and who not to believe unless you begin with a standard of requirements for such accusations to be credible?

At a party 35 years ago, a very drunken Christine Blasey Ford grabbed my privates and tried to have sex with me. I don’t remember exactly when or where it happened, because I was drinking at the time. I have never told anyone about it before today (except for vague references to a therapist over 30 years after it happened), but it has caused me great mental anguish over the years.

I am entitled to be believed because people do not lie about things like that, even when they are extremist political activists and intend to remain anonymous. #MeToo

That is not even a remotely close depiction of the actual facts here. Your eagerness to Misstate the record demonstrates an unhealthy bias in favor either of an arch conservative judiciary at all costs, or an odd predilection towards defending the rights of accused sex offenders in particular.

A false and grossly unjust false accusation of rape occurred.

Well that seals it for Professor Ford! The b**** is clearly lying!

Why do women wait until the last possible second to speak out about sexual harassment and assault claims?

This isn't a trial and Kavanaugh isn't at risk of going to jail, he's only at risk of losing an appointment. No liberal would approve of Kavanaugh being rushed onto the court with such an accusation against him.

Since Mark Judge was allegedly there and a witness, obviously he should testify under oath about whether he was indeed there and what, if anything, he witnessed.

Who isn't considered a rapist anymore? Al Franken? Bill Clinton? Donald Trump? None of these guys are rapists (Although a strong argument can be made about Clinton, but even that doesn't seem like it would hold up in court). Poor taste, poor judgement and mistakes should not crucify people for 30, 40, 50 years.

Enough is enough.

It is pretty sad that it is necessary to say this, but attempted rape is not "poor taste, poor judgement and mistakes."

I guess I should have left my username as "Rape is Bad M'Kay" for longer. It seems like the message needs to be stated clearly and simply like that to have any chance of impacting Republican brains.

If today's technology and social media existed in 1991, do you think Thomas would have been confirmed?

I take the allegation against Kavanaugh very seriously, but I'm also surprised to see the word "rapist" used. But maybe I'm out of date. Is what he did considered not just sexual assault, but rape?

I'm making *no* distinction about the seriousness of it. I am just asking about the terminology.

Nazis are bad. Rape is wrong. If you don't understand those things, then you don't know right from wrong.

Here's Florida Statutes on False Imprisonment:

That's not even taking into account any issue of Sexual Battery, which the circumstances suggest Kavanaugh attempted.

There's no middle ground in this allegation.  No room for misunderstanding.  Either Kavanaugh is lying or Professor Ford is lying, but there's no splitting the difference here.

The allegation isn't a situation where Kavanaugh allegedly groped a teenage female and got his hand slapped, or got told to F--- Off, after which he left, head between his legs.  Not at all.  This is an allegation of a drunken 17 year old who, disinhibited under the influence, falsely imprisoned a 17 year old girl and tried to have sex with her, while his buddy turned up the stereo and encouraged him.  That's the allegation, and that's criminal stuff.
