That sounds like sexual assault, not "absolutely an attempted rape" I don't think someone who's willing to forcibly strip a girl of her bathing suit while silencing her screams is intending to stop there, but call it what you like. Either way, I'd say that if events transpired as she claimed, that's more than enough to disqualify someone from judgeship. Again, "no sexual criminals on the Supreme Court" doesn't seem like too high a bar to set. Zeus posted... No, it ABSOLUTELY has a direct bearing because juvenile records are deliberately sealed to give youths a fresh start at adulthood. And had this actually gone to court at the time, he'd have some measure of protection -- albeit a weak one that could still be violated. Had it actually gone to court at the time, he almost assuredly would never have gotten as far as he did. Even had the records been sealed, the FBI would still have access to them and would have reported them to the White House when he first started working for them during the Bush administration, which very likely would have meant they would not have hired him. Zeus posted... ....except, given that she apparently doesn't even remember where this party happened, there's really not much for the FBI to actually look into. So ask Mark Judge - Ford claimed he was at the party. If he insists it didn't happen, start asking some of the other alumni. More than 1,000 of them just signed a letter of support for Ford - you think some of them might know of the party in question and be able to recall when/where it happened and whether Kavanaugh attended? Hell, Ed Whelan - a friend of Kavanaugh's - has already come forward and said where he believes the party was held. Again, this is why you have the FBI start asking questions. You can say "Well, they clearly won't be able to find anything," but you don't know that until they've made the attempt. And it's not like this sort of thing isn't done - Clarence Thomas was subject to the exact same sort of investigation during his confirmation, over very similar allegations. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:909159946] in Making sex...
