Comments regarding the Kavanaugh nomination

[OSR stands with Israel]

My opinion of Feinstein dropped throughout this . Even CNN said Republicans have a good point on that if she thought it was so important why didnt she send the letter over to the FBI in July, which is something she did anyway in September.

Of course, CNN is a television network and not a person, so it didn't say anything.  CNN still has dishonest Republicans on unfortunately and this was likely from one of them.

Nope it wasn’t any of their former Republican politicians or strategists who said that .


Tell me if Feinstein didn’t send the letter to FBI for confidentiality reasons in July , why did she send it to the FBI in September.

Feinstein sent the letter to the FBI after the rumors started.  Dr Ford herself testified that she discussed the situation with some of her friends subsequent to sending the letter and believes that one of her friends reported this to the media.

The Republican attempt to smear Senator Feinstein and deflect that 'Kavanaugh is the real victim' based on this loony conspiracy is pathetic, but par for the course for this evil party these days.

Unless the FBI finds new info which implicates him this situation is more Broaddrick accusations on Clinton than any of Roy Moore accusations .

Let's say that the FBI found the house where Ford said she was assaulted as well as the date of party and who were there, but no evidence that Ford was assaulted.

What does that mean for Kavanaugh?

Well if date of party doesn’t match up with what Kavanugh said ,that would be enough to deny him since he would have lied .

Couldn't he just say that he doesn't remember?

Well no because that is something he should have said during his testimony .

The dude was accused of being a rapist on a party line divide. Nobody could stop himself from being angry at the accusing party for that.

I know, the argument then goes that he ought to be replaced as a nominee, since judges are supposed to be nonpartisan. To which the obvious retort is that Democrats should have thought about that before taking us down this road.

[libertpaulian]

The fact that he argued not even a decade earlier that Presidents should be above the law is in and of itself disqualifying.

First off Merrick Garland so kindly shove it and second Ford is not “the democrats” she is a person

Anyway, there just isn't enough evidence to convince me Kavanaugh actually raped Ford. That IMO requires some corroboration at the very least, and probably something like a date and location. I think it was suggested somewhere in this thread that Kavanaugh doesn't have an alibi. How can he have an alibi? What, for the entire 1982 calendar year?

I'm sure this will be followed by arguments that rape claims from victims should be believed. But i don't see how we can simply take a claim as big as this on face value without more evidence, especially when it is made against a political figure.

Then comes the argument that we should at least wait to see what other information comes out. Not as ridiculous on its face; however, the fact that this allegation was sent to congress 6 weeks before we found out suggests it may be being used as a stall tactic. No doubt the Democrats have a fair point that a lifetime appointment should face scrutiny before being confirmed. However, if the shoe were on the other foot, I can't imagine they'd be singing the same tune. The same can be said for Sen. Feinstein's decision to wait until the very end of the hearings before releasing this kind of bombshell. No one is innocent of bad governance here, so I don't buy it.

No, she was accused of rape by Dr Ford.

Dianne Feinstein did not 'release the bombshell' and there is no credible evidence that she timed the release.  Odd how you don't need any evidence to state that falsehood.

I don't recall anyone accusing Merrick Garland of raping anyone.

Ford is not the one, allegedly anyway, who chose to make this accusation public. As far as we know, she intended it to be an anonymous tip. It was the Democrats' decision to believe the tip and run with it.

Indeed, no one with a modicum of honesty can really think the Democrats' questioning of Kavanaugh was that of people who sincerely just want to know the truth and have no particular axe to grind.

New Frontier claims he is disappointed or angry at anyone who doesnt oppose Kavanaugh but the fact is he is also acting in a super-partisan way too by basically believing anyone who doesnt oppose Kavanaugh are only doing it cause they are very partisan or they dont care about sexual assault victims. The fact is that isnt true at all as while some blue posters and Republicans certainly are supporting Kavanaugh cause of the two reasons he claims I would say most on here are not.

She did not leak the letter, but she still announced she had received an anonymous complaint. I've read your article but it doesn't say what you claim it does. Feinstein announced she had received a complaint before either the letter or Ford's identity were known.

No honestly what happened to him was worse. He literally was punished not for any failing he had personally or a bad ruling. He was punished simply because Obama picked him

Except the rumors of the complaint had started to come out based on Dr Ford's friend speaking to the reporter.

She acknowledged that she had received a complaint after the rumors started, not before them.
