Trying to innocuously present it as some sort of fair and balanced fact finding when in reality half the interviewers are out to reject you and are actively trying to dig up claims and accusations to hit you with....is a completely dishonest portrayal of reality.

What sort of word speak would be the spin for what the R's did to merrick Garland? Scheduling conflicts?

If her story is true, it doesn't matter that the dems used it to their advantage. She came forward with it and does not regret it.
I can say I don't believe her accusation at all. Of course she's going to say she's 100% certain at the hearing when asked how certain she was. What else was she going to say? I don't know, I could be maybe 80% certain? Would that justify the circus hearing she created? I don't think so.

No one knows jack fill in the blank here.

No one other than the three people mentioned could really

Every single pundit and every single person on this board doesn't know what happened.

There is no evidence either way, that she lied or he lied about attacking her.

It's purely he said she said based on what has been presented.

For people to speak with certainly is downright silly.

Nobody asked me!

I think this was all a bunch of bull. I don't believe her. I believe him and that comes from a woman who, according to today's standards, was raped at 15. (And a virgin) Did I tell? Of course not. Would I accuse the guy 50 years later? Of course not.

OTOH, I believed Anita Hill. Big, big difference in stories and timing.

I also didn't blame Kavenaugh for being so emotional. That debacle could have not only ruined his career but his personal life. I can only imagine the emotional stress his wife and children went, are going through. Talk about a witch hunt!

I like beer, do you like beer?
Kavanagh did lie, so did Ford.

The part that has me questioning the entire thing is how someone can't remember where it happened, how they got there, how they got home or when it happened...but are 100% sure who did it and that they'd only had 1 beer. I find it especially troubling because it conveniently removes any chance of debunking the claim with an alibi, which given the time that had passed would be the one rock solid way to defend yourself.

the more I ponder the claims of certainty of something like 1 beer but inability to recall several key events in the story I start to move from "insufficient evidence to even reasonably support guilt" to "this seems to be a manufactured accusation".
