@maggieNYT
Almost every person close to Trump who had told me having a sex crimes prosecutor question Ford was good strategy is saying they think it was a mistake after the first portion of the hearing.

Get fucked, Trumpists

Kavanaugh going second seems like a large advantage here. He can just shrug off stuff she said with no rebuttal. Should have been more than one appearance each. Unless I'm mistaken and she comes back after his.


The court system is designed to give the accused the advantage. How are you supposed to deny (or admit for that matter) allegations that arent on the record?

The good thing here is that everybody already determined that she is telling the truth. Even Fox News. All that will happen is that everyone will know Kavanaugh is lying under oath.

Do you think these allegations are fake?


The first one I believe something happened between them. Im not convinced it played out exactly as Dr. Ford states. Theres always two sides to every story, but thats not to say that it didnt happen. I dont think shes presenting enough evidence to persuade me that what she states happenened though.

The accusations about him participating in gang rape parties with lines to rape girls that went outside the room, absolutely fake.

I dont have a strong belief about what happened. I wasnt there and there hasnt been any evidence to corroborate what she said. Theres a plethora of theories that are possible. Maybe she thought it was Kavanaugh but she was mistaken. Most cases of wrongful conviction of rape, that are later proved by DNA evidence, are cases of mistaken identity. If she believed it was Kavanaugh then she would pass a polygraph, even if thats not what actually happened.

Thats just one possibility. There certainly isnt enough evidence to convince me that he is a rapist.

That's nice. Polygraph tests aren't admissible as court evidence because they aren't reliable.

This isn't a court case

Irrelevant. This is an inquisition. He's been accused of a crime, so he has every right to defend himself against her accusations as the Constitution provides. Oaths have been taken, and testimonies are being made. This should be treated every bit as a trial even if senators rather than a judge are presiding.

They can be. Most criminal courts won't let them in but there are ways to get them in in some civil actions depending on the judge. (for the two states I'm aware of).

We already knew that he lies under oath. Tbh he should be impeached from the 9th Circuit for the previous times he committed purgery in front of Congress

Reminder why Trumpists really want Kavanaugh

This case in particular. It's why he's being rushed to be on by the next SCOTUS session

http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/gamble-v-united-states/

This would allow Trump to pardon anyone who might flip on him with no state charges able to be brought.

Probably somewhere in the middle where most people think he did it but he still gets confirmed and so then we have a probable rapist sitting on the SC for the rest of his life.

I agree my good friend. Whether he's guilty of assaulting her or not, if he gets confirmed his reputation is tarnished. Any decision he makes will be watched with a close eye and if his decision is unfavorable among his political enemies we could see uproar and protests. No one is going to win. We all lose.
